Fact & Remedy of thinning Hair!

Fact & Remedy of Thinning hair

Is your hair thinning out and you have no clue why? Lets start with what product you put in your hair.As we have different hair products for thinning hair that are currently on the market, how do you know which ones actually work? Even women in their twenties experience hair loss, whether it is due to genetics or damage hair from styling or poor nutrition, among other factors. Part of it is just plain old aging. For instance the diameter of the hair shaft naturally diminishes as we get older, so even if you have the same number of hair follicles your hair strands will look thinner, making it seem like you have less hair.

Baldness in women
side baldness from weave fixing
Even Naomi's gone bald
Although balding is more of an overtly male disease, according to the American Hair Loss Association, women actually make up 40 percent of hair loss sufferers. And just so you know, a hair grows about a half-inch per month from its follicle. Each individual hair grows for two to six years, rests, falls out, then new hair grows in its place. Unfortunately, sometimes, when a hair falls out, a new hair does not grow.

In what is called female pattern baldness, the cause of this inability to grow new hair is not well understood,  which occurs in men and women -- damages the hair follicles. Some women become excessively bald in certain area's from overbraiding the hair or fixing a weave every other month without allowing the hair breathe. It also most likely has to do with genes, aging and levels of endocrine hormones. The hormonal process of testosterone converting to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Note: All you need to remember as you're reading this is that DHT is not your friend because it triggers hair loss and inhibits hair growth.


Major Causes of Hair loss

 - Underactive thyroid
- Telogen effluvium (temporary hair shedding)
- Alopecia areata (an immune disorder causing temporary hair loss)
- Hair coloring and Relaxer processed hair's
- Breaking of hair due to styling treatments and pulling of hair
- Iron deficiency
- Vitamin deficiency
- Certain medications
- Particular skin diseases
- Hormonal abnormalities
- Stress


Can lifestyle changes prevent hair loss?

Lifestyle choices can affect the rate at which you lose, or don't lose, hair. Stress and poor diet, for example, can accelerate hair loss.
"When you don't eat enough food or avoid the necessary vitamins, your hair will lose the nutrients that make it strong and beautiful. If you wear tight hair styles such as braids or ponytails all the time, you can actually develop traction alopecia, where the hair is constantly pulled until the hair falls out."
Caution is raised against using perms or coloring, that contain strong chemicals such as peroxide and lye, and shampoos and styling products with sodium lauryl sulfate and silicones because these ingredients can exacerbate scalp and follicle problems.

Steps to combat thinning hair

If you're noticing an unusual loss of hair, see your doctor to rule out any serious medical conditions. With a doctor's approval, you can take various cosmetic avenues, from medication to low level laser therapy, widely known as "cold laser therapy." Cold lasers have been commonly used to heal wounds and treat edema. The strength of cold lasers lie in their power to accelerate cell processes. Lasers can stimulate and reactivate dormant cells within the hair follicle, The laser system used at her clinic has been introduced to physicians allover the world


Going Natural Stops Hair Loss

 Growing your Natural hair also helps with Hair loss, hair not chemically processed have better chances of not thinning out or falling out
 1. Try to let your natural hair grow out more before re-doing a perm.
 2. Use Hair products targeted for your hair type, Africans should use products friendly to their hair textures while caucasians use products suitable for their hair types.

Laser therapy stimulates hair follicle cells for hair re-growth

One option for treatment, the Precision Laser Therapy system, uses infrared light therapy and laser technology, housed in a large plastic hood that looks much like a salon hair dryer. It directs light on the scalp to "awaken" cells within the hair follicle from dormancy. This stimulates cell metabolism, leading to hair growth.
"Most importantly, don't ignore [thinning hair or hair loss] "Many women stay in denial for too long and let it get worse than it should have been, which makes it harder to take care of .


How to stop that hair from thinning
 When shopping for hair products for thinning hair, you want to look for shampoos and conditioners that say volumizing on the label and that contain ingredients like wheat or rice protein, which helps thicken strands. Loreal hair, Pureology PureVolume Shampoo and Sally Hershberger Supreme Head Shampoo ,Nuctris Garnier,Aveeno hair shampoo are recommended hair products for thinning hair. Vitamin supplements that help grow hair & promotes good skin are also very effective.
Also avoid stiff, maximum-hold hairspray or hair gels that leads to breakage of hair, and instead use flexible hairsprays like Pantene Pro-V Classic hairspray Flexible Hold, which are less likely to cause breakage or spray with a light moisturizer before applying a holding spray.

Looking Foreva Young!

Top Beauty Tips for  Staying RADIANT!

How to Look  Forever Young.      

You always have to apply sunscreen on your hands and neck,”  “They’re just as important as your face, and they show aging the fastest! Paying attention to those spots has given me skin that looks quite youthful for my age.”says our 50's cover girl.
Maintainaning your Skin Routine

Cleansing your skin
You need to make it a habit if you haven’t already to cleanse your face before you sleep. This will ensure that your facial skin is free of any impurities such as dirt and makeup from a long day and allows your skin to breathe freely. Always use lukewarm or cool water to cleanse and wash your face so that unecessary oils aren’t removed from your skin. Always pat your face dry with a clean towel to leave your face slightly moist. Ensure that you use an oil-free cleanser for oily skin or one which is suitable for oily skin and for dry skin use a cleanser with cream.
Exfiliating your skin
In order to maintain smoothness and achieve great looking skin you should exfoliate your skin at least once a week using a good quality facial scrub such as St Ives Apricot Scrub. Exfoliate peels off a the dead skin which makes your skin look dull and unfresh. After the dead skin is peeled off, the skin will look clearer and younger. If your budget allows you to, you may also choose to have regular microdermabrasion treatments.
Moisturising your skin
Regardless of what skin type you have, moisturisation is important. Oily skin also requires moisturisation but chose a cream that is suitable for oily skin types. You will need to determine how much moisturisation your skin requires depending on the dryness and tightness of your skin. You also need to protect your skin from sun damage, so opt to use a moisturiser which contains sunscreen or apply a sunscreen seperately. If you use makeup, apply good quality makeup which contain sun protection ingredients (SPF).
