Healthy Hair Care Tips To Keep That Hair On Your Head
>> Monday, August 29, 2011
Your genetic makeup is what determines whether or not you will face hair loss. But keeping your hair healthy can make a big difference in influencing when you experience hair loss. Even if you come from a long line of family members who have suffered from women's hair loss, you can put off your onset for as long as possible if you take good care of your hair and your scalp. The problem is, it can be hard to decide what to do with so many differing ideas on the subject. The hair care strategies that follow are widely agreed upon by experts to help stop or postpone hair loss.
Brushing your hair when its wet is a mistake. This is something you should remember. The best way to get the tangles out of wet hair is to dry it with a towel and then use a wide toothed comb to sort through the tangles gently. A brush is more likely to snag and yank at your hair. Your hair can be torn out at the roots by a brush. Even worse, it can be damaging to your hair follicles, which can impact the health of your hair. Brushes should only be used on dry hair.
Dyeing the hair is something that every woman experiments with at least once in her life. Yet it's true that there are some women who seem to have an addiction to it. If you choose this route (and most do it as a money saving measure) don't start by dyeing your roots. Hold-off on dyeing your roots for the final 10-15 minutes. Here's why... doing the roots first can sometimes can follicle inflammation or infection when the dye saturates the follicle. If you damage your scalp like that in a chronic way, then eventually your hair can start falling out. A professional hair colorist will do it properly and safely. Naturally, this will cost more but your hair will look good, and it will be done professionally.
It can be a little tricky when trying to stop hair loss. Some women are just genetically predisposed to it.
Hair care seems like such a trivial thing, especially where women's hair loss is concerned. When hair problems develop, many women do not automatically think of their shampoo. While proper care of your hair cannot stop the hair loss in all women, it really can do wonders for some conditions. Yet, you can use it and postpone hair loss for a while in some women. As always, seek professional advice from your doctor if you suspect a possible problem.
