HAIR AND RAIN WATER - BUSTING OLD WIVES TALES ON HAIR TREATMENTS




If you've ever heard about the healing effets of rain water on hair and how it makes hair feel smooth and shiny after, well, times have changed.

With the growing pollution and plenty of ash and sediments in our atmosphere, taking a refreshing hair wash under the rain isn't going to do your hair much good.

While rain water is soft, and has no hardness like tap water, it isn't as pure as it used to be. Modern shampoos can do the job just as well if not better.

Good shampoos work wonders regardless of hard or soft water so try Redken All Soft Shampoo for intense silky softness, Redken Full Body Shampoo for the perfect volume and body or go for Redken Full Moisture Shampoo to combat dryness and brittle hair.

WHAT CAUSES HAIR TO THIN AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT?






Thinning hair is a sign of damage. While men experience balding, women experience hair thinning. Once luscious locks may turn limp and thin with time.

Hair loss or thinning hair can affect a man or woman's self-esteem, trigger depression, and cause anxiety and confidence issues.

While hair thinning isn't uncommon, nowadays people tend to suffer from it much earlier in life. Hair experts state that hair loss or thinning has become more and more common in recent years.

The first signs of hair loss or hair thinning is a sure sign to head to your GP for a visit.

Hair loss can be your body's way of telling you something is wrong.

Illness or certain medications can trigger limp, fine hair that will eventually become dull and damaged.

Stress is also another factor that can cause hair to lose its body.

While hair thins with age caused by natural aging process, there are many other factors that explain why our hair falls off faster than it should.

Here is an article from Mail Online which talks about the different issues that make us lose our hair.

ANAEMIA
We need iron to produce red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Iron deficiency leads to anaemia, meaning fewer red blood cells. Less oxygen is carried to the scalp, starving the follicles, and eventually causing gradual, uniform hair loss. The hair will appear wispy, and the scalp may be more visible than usual.

Other symptoms include pale skin, lethargy and fatigue. An iron supplement may help. Lack of Vitamin C and consumption of caffeine and alcohol can also hinder iron absorption. Drinking a glass of orange juice with iron-rich food aids absorption, helping hair grow back.

EATING DISORDERS
The growing phase of the hair cycle is prematurely halted by reduced food intake, which makes blood flow sluggish to the scalp. Hair loses its shine and falls out. Those who lose weight suddenly, or limit their calorie intake to maintain a low weight, may well also have wispy, dull-looking hair.

The hair loss is rarely permanent but eating a balanced diet with plenty of protein is vital. Hair is made from protein, and it is particularly important to eat protein at breakfast as this is when levels are at their lowest in the hair follicles.
Also make sure the diet is rich in vitamins - especially the B complex - zinc and essential fatty acids.

POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women is caused by an excess of male hormones which can trigger thinning at the front and top of the scalp. This happens only in PCOS sufferers with a family history of genetic hair loss.

The condition causes increased hair growth on the face and body. Drugs to reduce the amount of male hormone should help hair regrowth, as will head massage, which increases blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles.

THYROID PROBLEMS
The first sign of a thyroid disorder can be hair loss. Too much or too little thyroid hormone in the body affects the metabolism and the hair-growth cycle. Hair loss is generalised - back, sides and top - as every follicle is affected.

Drugs or other treatments can be given to manage the condition. To help hair grow back, have plenty of protein and massage the head every morning.

STRESS
Stress can cause premature greying. Hormones released in the body during stressful events affect the absorption of B vitamins needed for pigmentation. Emotional stress can also lead to alopecia in which the immune system attacks the hair cells, resulting in clumps of hair loss, often starting with a small bald patch on the head or in facial hair in men.

As well as relaxation techniques, taking a B vitamin complex supplement could help deal with premature grey. Alopecia can be treated in various ways including steroids or UV light therapy - but in some cases it is simply a matter of waiting for the hair to grow back, which can take years.
