THE FOLLOWING TIPS
offer helpful advice to answer frequently encountered hair
care problems for men and women suffering thinning hair,
baldness and hair loss.
Each
year, men and women spend billions of dollars on hair-care
products and treatments. Unfortunately, many invest in the
wrong products or use them incorrectly. The result can be
hair damage. Damaged hair stays damaged until it grows out
and is cut off. This can take many months, because your hair
grows approximately 1/2 inch each month.
Proper Shampoos & Conditioners
While
this advice is valid for anyone, those suffering hair loss,
thinning hair and baldness, should especially choose shampoos and conditioners that is right for
their hair
type.
Price and exotic ingredients bear little or no relation to
efficacy. Most conditioning products that claim to nourish
hair do nothing of the sort as the ingredients cannot enter
the hair unless they contain transformants (molecules small
enough to pass into the cortex).
-
 Shampooing
It is a myth that shampooing increases hair loss. Whether
dry or greasy, hair should be washed as often as required
to look good, even every day.
-
Conditioning
Most modern conditioners contain compounds that reduce
static and make hair less "fly-away" and more manageable.
Those with added polymers, collagen, balsam, silicones or
resins that bond with and coat the shaft, may provide a
protective film, smooth out the cuticle, reducing snarls
and tangles.
Styling
Certain styles and treatments can cause breakage or
root damage. Avoid excessively tight braiding, buns, or
ponytails. Do not roll your hair too tightly in curlers.
Teasing and back combing should be done gently. Too much
exposure to sun, wind, or swimming-pool chemicals will dry
out your hair and cause it to knot.
 Combs & Brushes
Eliminate metal combs, extra fine teeth combs and those with
sharp teeth.
Use brushes and combs with widely spaced bristles and teeth
with smooth tips. Sharp tooth combs can cause various types
of damage, cause split ends, and scratch your scalp.
Bleaching
Bleaches chemically alter the melanin granule in the middle
layer of each hair strand. Despite careful treatment,
persistent bleaching eventually damages even healthy, strong
hair, but it does not injure the roots from which future
growth takes place.
No Connection
with diet
Transition spokespersons have consulted with some of the
country's leading dermatologists. They
have said, "Diet has very little to do with hair loss!" Case
studies of World War II concentration camp
victims show that while many were starving... there was
little evidence, (if any) of hair loss.
a scam called "analysis"
Various claims are made for the value of analysis of hair
samples-- measuring its mineral content -- as a means of
assessing nutritional status or detecting nutritional
deficiencies, but the process has no validity and can be
considered one of the many ongoing scams.
