Vitamin E cream… I bought this one ..Is it okay to use on my face for my acne aswell?

Hi, I just recently got burned with hot oil a few weeks ago. As the wound was healing the skin started to peel and flake off and it is now a scar on my arm. I was recommended to buy Vitamin E cream to help the healing process and remove the scar. So I went down to my local Walmart and bought a vitamin E cream... This is the product name is: Holista Restorativ Vitamin E mosturizing cream. The burn was on my arm and I bought the cream to avoid the greasy feeling from other products. Has anyone heard about this certain product? Any reviews? Is it good? Also I heard Vitamin E cream is good to clear up acne scars?!? ...I have a few scars on my face that I would like to clear up aswell.. I don't think the whole jar of cream will be used on my arm .. Is it safe to use on my face for this purpose?

Question about my hair? Need advice ?

I will buy a bottle of S&C. It will work great,leaving my hair soft and silky but 2 weeks later it stops working and I have to try something new. I already tried alternating between 2 brands but each time I go back to one it works less and less. Why does this happen and what can I do about it?

I have tried so many like:
Bedhead(didn't work at all)
Biosik ( I like only the shampoo)
Paul Mitchell 1 (drys out my hair)
Nexus (didn't work at all)
Panteen deep C( not at all)
Chi deep C (just okay)

I did like herbal essences, John Freda and sunsilk but they all stopped working like I said, I just spent on S factor and its just okay. Not all the hype people talk about. Is my hair just picky? Its very healthy!! I wash every other day. Take hair vitamins, hot oil treatment once a week. I rarely use heat (1or 2 times a week) never iron!!! and I trim every 6-8 weeks
Thank You

My hair is falling off at the ends, from bleaching and straightening, it's sooooooo damaged I need major help!?

Okay, about 2 in a half months ago I went to walmart and got the lightest shade of blonde hair dye they had, because I didnt want to wait on my friends mom (who's a professional) to do it, and tried putting highlights in myself. Well, I should not have done that. First of all, my hair is soooo fried. I used to straighen it EVERYDAY, since I was like 12 years old. I'm now 16. Sooo, as you can imagin my hair is very dry and frizzy. Thats the reason I straightened it so much. Well the drirections for the dye said to leave it in for lke 15 min, and I had only had it in for like 10 min and my scalp was like on fire, so i went and rinsed it out and some places of my hair where I straighten it alot was like totaly white! I could almost see through it! And I didn't even have to touch it it would just fall out if I even looked at it haha I mean it was literally falling off in clumps. Thank god I died it the day after school got out haha. So after I got done crying my eyes out and wishing that I was just dreaming, I called up my friend whos mom was a hair dresser and got her on the phone. She said all she knew to do is buy some hot oil treatments, and she would set me up an appointment to check it out. So I done the hot oil treatments all week untill I went to see Mrs. Wendy (the hair dresser) and when I got there, and took my hair out of a poney tail, her jaw literally dropped. She'd never seen anything like it befor. She cut most of my hair off, like an inch above my sholders. So since then I bought hot oil treatments, hair mayo treatments, i'v been takeing vitamins, drinking water, washing my hair with Mane 'n Tale which I heard was a super great for damaged hair. And I got the deep moisturizeing kind cuz my hairs really dry. All of it has helped alot, but I still have trouble with this certain area on the side of my head. Mrs. Wendy said that was the most damged part because I parted my hair on that side, and it wasn't my natural part therefor I straightened it more than anything to keep it perfect. When I get out of the shower I can pull at it and it streatches, and then breakes off! And its only in that area. My hair has grown about this mech: (-------------). And the hair is sooo healthey where it has grown back and I just wish I could get all of it like that. I mean its only in that area. I can't cut that one area off, because school starts in 3 weeks. I'm going to get it trimmed again here in about a week or two, and I was planning on her dyeing it back brown since it's not as serious as bleaching it. I know this is alot to read but I thought it would be better to tell you the whole compleat story. What I'm asking is, can someone please give me some serious advise?! I know to get it trimmed regularly, take vitamins, drink water, dont put heat on it, and not wash it everyday. Is there anything els someone can tell me that could maybe help repair the damaged parts so I can wait a little longer and grow it out to get it cut and then grow it all back out healthy? Please don't give me a lecture about how I shouldnt have straightened my hair everyday and colored it myself. I know. I'v heard enough and I have learned the hard way.
By the way, I'm kinda on a budget because my parents have already spent alot of money on hair products that don't even work for me. Soooo if there is anything at all you can tell me that you think would help, please tell me. I really do thank anyone who can help me! :)

Using extra virgin olive oil in your hair for a treatment? what is the best method?

I heard extra virgin olive oil can be used as a really good hot oil treatment to deep condition hair and help repair damage but there are so many methods out there, I don't know which one is best to use!

My hair has been a bit abused this past month or so since I started to blow dry it again (I stopped using any heat on it for a long time to try to keep it healthy) and I used curlers etc on it last week and hair spray a couple of times and I think all this has dried my hair out and damaged it.

I am letting it dry naturally again and have stopped using any heat on it and have started taking vitamins etc for my hair again. But I really want to do a hot oil treatment on my hair tonight to deep condition it.

So I really need a hot oil treatment method with olive oil that is easy and I can do at home, please?

Also has anyone used l'oreal elvive damage repair hair mask? Cause it was on offer in a shop today so I bought some and I plan to start using it once or twice a week.

Do hair masks also help repair damage and soften hair?

Sorry I know this question is a bit long, it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks in advance!
