Cure Hair Loss

Avoiding Hair Cuts: It is a good idea to change your hairstyle periodically and this is not only for the fashion conscious among us. The reason to get regular haircuts or even hair trims is for maintaining good health for your hair, this prevents split ends, lessens frizz, and keeps hair in shape. Even if you are growing out your hair, take regular trims just to take the tips off your hair.

Using too much of whatever hair product it is you are using: The first mistake is to use the wrong kind of hair product for your kind of hair, the second is using too much of whatever it is you are using. Too much shampoo is a waste and also dries out the hair unnecessarily. Too much conditioner makes the hair limp and heavy. Using too generous an amount of any hair product, be it conditioner or gel or other styling product causes product build up, which can be difficult to dislodge.

Overheating and over-styling: You could be trying too hard to get the hair type that nature never intended for you to have. So overheating your hair to straighten it, or curl it or style it a particular way can end up with you not having the kind of hair you desire, instead you end up with damaged and easily breakable hair.

Root Removal Methods: These include hair epilating using an epilator machine, which can be painful for some but the most convenient and hassle – free for others. After the initial purchase of the machine it is free. Waxing can be messy but is quick and can hurt less than epilating. Additionally there are tweezing and threading methods which are usually used for sensitive skin such as facial skin etc., which are also painful.

Surface Removal Methods: Shaving is one method and using hair removal creams is another. These methods are painless but the hair is removed only from the surface and therefore starts to grow back almost immediately.

Permanent Methods: Laser Treatments and Electrolysis and such professionally performed treatments can be quite expensive and may also be painful. Further these methods require repeated sessions and the success rate is not 100%.

Additionally there are hair inhibitors which reduce, even stop hair growth. There are also sugaring pastes available, which though possibly painful, are kind to the skin and inexpensive.

When buying a hair brush consider carefully what is the correct one for you; consider that brushing of the hair in not merely for detangling and styling hair, it is also for distributing scalp oil to the hair shafts, to keep the hair healthy and shiny looking.

The rule of thumb for short hair is a hair brush with shorter bristles so that some shape or curl can be added to the hair. Consider sculpting brushes for backcombing and adding volume to short and textured styles.

For longer hair, which is prone to break a lot more easily than short hair, it is a good idea to get a cushioned hair brush. Alternatively use the paddle style brush for long hair if you want a straight smooth style of hair. Paddle brushes are not for layered styles, so if you want to add volume to your hair, this is not the one for you.

If yours is the sort of hair that requires a great deal of styling, consider thermal brushes, which help with styling and adding body to hair when the metal core of the hair brush heats up.

Hair rebonding, as you may well know is the process by which hair is straightened permanently. But if you are contemplating getting this done for your hair, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with how this process is done.

This is a process where the chemical bonds in your hair are broken, rearranged and bonded back again permanently using very strong chemicals. Perming lotion is added to soften the hair and break down its bonds. After this is washed off, hair is placed between 2 metal plates of an electric styling device, which uses heat to pull the hair rod-straight. A neutralizer is then applied to reset the bonds and stabilize the hair. Hair is irreversibly altered after the perming process.

The process can cause damage to hair, especially if performed by someone who has not been properly trained and can also cause damage and burns to the skin and scalp if the level of heat is too high or if the chemicals are left on for too long.

One must understand that rebonded hair is weaker and can fracture more easily so hair has to be handled with extreme care after treatment.

Your grandmother said 100 strokes every night before going to bed, something you read recently in women’s magazine says brushing is terrible for the hair, what is the truth! Well it is somewhere in between.

Brushing of hair is good because when you brush your hair daily using a good quality brush it helps keep hair clean, glossy and healthy looking. Brushing stimulates the glands in the scalp to distribute oils. The brushing process can normalize an oily scalp as well as a dry one and can also make you hair look good. Dust and dirt is dislodged by brushing so brushing cleans the hair in that sense.

However, the 100 strokes number may be rather excessive, because what excessive brushing tends to do is wear away the hair’s cuticle - its protective covering. Excessive brushing makes the cuticle rough and erodes it thereby exposing the inner cortex and weakening hair, making it more likely to break.

Therefore, comb your hair just enough for grooming, detangling, and styling, but stop short of over brushing and damaging the hair shaft.
