1. Washing your hair every other day means exactly what it means- wash it one day- and then don't wash it the next day and then wash it the next day. The thinking behind this is that the hair, and more specifically the hair follicle has specialized glands that surrounds the hair that protects the hair- why your hair gets greasy if you don't wash if for a couple of days. Ironically, this "oil" is actually is good for your hair. A lot of the chemicals that they use in shampoos strips this natural protection from hair and provide it access to the environment that the natural oil protected it against.
2. First of all, I would stop using any hair products that have unnatural products that dry out your hair. I would try to use products that wash out clean completely. I would also try to avoid the products that have too much scent, yes they smell nice, but the chemicals that stay can damage your hair more- remember that thinning hair is more prevelant in western socities and not in eastern socieities which use natural fruits and berries to clean and "scent" their hair. It's true.
3. Depends on the conditioner and the chemicals that they use. A lot of times a conditioner is not necessary if your shampoo cleans your hair well enough.
4. Wearing a cap itself can't spoil your hair, but what it does is what you wouldn't expect. Caps capture dirt and grime and sweat, and then those are great places for bacteria and other things to grow in- and then you place the hat back on your head, effectively placing the bacteria in your head again. Lesson- wash your hats.
5. I don't know how. You can get rings without copper- if you're thinking of eyebrow rings- it can cause inflammation and infection which can cause hair loss.
Ironically, a lot of "early" hair loss is due to not genetics but due to bacteria in the scalp- hence a new product just approved by the FDA- a laser comb that is supposed to destroy these microbes that may prevent some hair loss.
Take care,

hey
every other day = today is monday. (lets say) dont wash it tomorrow. wash it wednesday. like, wash it the day after tomorrow. not monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday... monday wednesday friday. understand?
there are lots of different shampoos. personally, i prefer using herbal essences :]
um... whoever told you that has serious issues. i dare you to try washing your hair without conditioner. you can't brush it! you need conditioner to moisturize your hair. ... it's like if you NEVER put lotion on, and only always washed your skin. uhh? it will get super dry and break.
you can wear hats but in moderation. it might cause your hair to fall out.
why would piercings spoil your hair? i seriously doubt it. it might, but i really dont think so. and if it does, just buy a special shampoo for it.
hope i helped :]

every other day means like...
you wash your hair on monday, you dont wash it on tuesday, but you wash it on wednesday. it helps keep it healthier.
2- use a thickining shampoo. they work great- just look around at Brookes, CVS, walmart, walgreens, or Kmart for some cheap ones.
3-it depends. it can weight down your hair, adding more oil to it. so i guess it could be considered bad, but it helps regain a lot of the moisture. i would say its generally good though.
4- wearing a cap does not allow for your scalp to breathe, but it wont spoil it. at the most it will make it greasy.
5- i dont get why piercings would spoil your hair. im pretty sure that they dont at all. CBR- it depends. they make it with some, but you can get them without it too. just find a store.
hope i helped

1. Every other day means every two days. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. OR Teusday, Thursday, Saturday, Monday.
2. Buy products that specify in that area of thickening hair.. volume.
3. No, it's healthy for your hair!
4. No, it just makes your head sweat more which means more oil is on your head which means you need to wash your hair. It doesn't 'spoin' you hair.
5. Piercings? They have nothing to do with your hair as far as I know!
