Hair Loss Cure

As with everything else in life, even in hair color we now look for products that are chemical free and therefore good for our health as well as the environment. Here are some products that will help you go green when it comes to hair color –

• Herbatint – This product is free from hydrogen peroxide that many of us want to avoid owing to the fact that studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide colored hair could actually promote graying of hair
• Naturcolor – Emollient herbal formulations is the USP of this product, which is also ammonia free so that it is suitable for use even for those who have sensitive skin.
• Advanced Cosmetic Technologies Hair Color Kits claim to be made from 100% natural ingredients, and is free from Para-phenylenediamine (PPD), a potentially dangerous chemical linked to serious conditions as well as allergies
• EcoColors comes enriched with organic flower essence, flax oil, Vitamin E and silk. It uses natural preservatives and claims to improve hair condition upon coloring
• Morocco Method International – calls upon the age old method of coloring the hair and body using henna. It is vegan and also respects fair trade practices

Head lice are an uncomfortable subject, because parents often think that they are evidence of poor hygiene or even perhaps irresponsible parenting. And yet sometimes with the best of efforts, an infestation may not be avoidable.

For the most part, over the counter treatments such as Nix, or others that have permethrin 1% work pretty well. Firstly hair should be washed, and toweled dry. Then the medicated application should be done and left to sit for about 10 minutes. After that, rinse it out and don’t re-shampoo. This is because an anti-lice residue gets left behind that will discourage re-infestation.

It is best to repeat the treatment after a week or so, in order that any freshly hatched or juvenile lice are not allowed to reproduce. If required a third application at the end of the second week should be carried out.

Lice treatments contain some level of toxicity so they must be used according to instructions only. If however over the counter treatments do not work, a medical opinion should be sought.
