I have long, permed and coloured hair. Recently, I noticed that I was losing a lot of hair. I wash my hair with shampoo followed by a conditioner every day. I also dry it with a hairdryer frequently, especially when I’m in a rush and don’t want to go out with a wet look! Is it advisable to wash and condition hair on a daily basis, and is the hot air from the hairdryer causing my hair to become dry and frizzy? Will a hair mask help with the dry hair problem? – Lynn
