One of the problems plaguing two out of three individuals these days is the rapid loss of hair. The loss of hair is not only premature but resulting in the baldness of individual. A number of reasons are attributed to loss of hair. They range from physical problems to a variety of emotional matters. For instance, long term exposure of the hair to shampoo and cosmetic products can damage the hair. It could aid loss of hair leading to baldness or dandruff generation or hair fall on account of variety of problems. Extreme temperatures and the presence of pollutants in the air can also cause extensive hair loss.

Similarly, mental stress and extreme work pressure also contribute towards loss of hair. A combination of all these factors can lead to cascading effects. It is often noticed in the form of premature hair loss. These days the trend of youngsters aged around thirty years completely losing their hair on the head is nothing new. Premature graying of the hair is also noticed these days among people of younger age. A number of prescriptions are provided to avoid premature loss of hair or fall of hair. Some of these prescriptions also come in the form of medicine. But the best way to maintain healthy hair is to nurture the natural growth of hair. The hair growth can be promoted by using a number of simple techniques such as meditation, yoga and exercise.

The hair on the head needs the right diet, rich in protein and vitamins, for good growth. If these basic requirements are not provided to the minimal possible extent, the hair loss can be on the higher side. One of the best ways to maintain the body that will eventually assist hair growth is to carry out rigorous exercise daily. It has been found that a person has to exercise daily to maintain a slim and trim body, ultimately stay fit and healthy.

This will have multiple effects on the human body. For instance, a healthy human body will be developed all round. The healthy human body will not have any problems or ailments that might cause long term problem. If the body is put to rigorous exercise each day, it will generate considerable health parameters for the person. A healthy body is devoid of any problems. It will be in good supply of the vital ingredients to keep all characteristics and components at the desired level. An unhealthy person may be forced to quit certain crucial diet.

This crucial diet may be the key factor promoting hair growth. The discontinuation of the diet may assist in reduction of hair and eventually contributing to baldness. Therefore, maintenance of diet assumes importance. In order to maintain a normal diet, regular exercise is a must practice.

Hair loss can be prevented without the intervention of any medication by exercising routinely. It has been proven that exercise reinvigorates the body assisting the growth of hair. For more info, please visit naturalhairgrowth.net naturalhairgrowth.net

This guide is written to give you a little education on biracial hair care and to answer some of the questions we get most often. These tips on Biracial hair care should be helpful in developing a regimen to give you healthy hair. After a short introduction, we will move into a question and answer format.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly what's best for you or for your child. I purposely avoided a cookbook approach in the original guide because proper maintenance of hair is more of an art than a science. Every person's hair is slightly different and therefore requires a slightly different maintenance routine. Even my two daughters, with the same father and mother, have different hair types. I find that an oil that is great for one is too heavy for the other. After years of trial and error that I have developed regimens that work best for each of the three of us. While my own children are not biracial, I do have several biracial nieces and nephews and have helped many people with biracial children. So, I do have hands-on expertise in this area. I am still tweaking the routines for my daughters as I find new products and as I gain more experience. But, I will share my tips and routines with you. These should be useful starting points for you to develop your own routine. Biracial hair care can be even more difficult to figure out than African hair care. We are often approached by White mothers who have given birth to children with hair very dissimilar to theirs and what they are used to. Interracial (actually, transracial) adoptions are becoming more common, creating the same situation. Most African Americans are multi-racial. So, African American hair has a wide variety of textures and needs. Biracial hair care must cover an even broader range of textures and needs.

Expectations for Biracial Hair

The number one complaint we get about black hair is that it looks dry or dull. We get the same complaint about biracial hair, followed closely by complaints of "frizzyness" and difficulty in combing. Before you go too far to make your natural hair full of sheen and shine, it's best to have the proper expectation. Natural Black or African hair will not be as shiny as permed hair or Caucasian hair. A major part of what makes hair shiny is the structure of the hair, not just the amount of oil or moisture it contains. If the cuticles lay flat (smooth hair), the hair will reflect light better (translated will appear shiny). If the cuticles are raised, the hair will absorb light (translated will appear more dull). Without changing the structure of the hair (as in getting a perm or relaxer for us African Americans), our hair will only be so shiny. By applying a lot of grease (see below for the types of oils I recommend) to make it shinier, you could end up damaging the hair. Having said that, natural African hair can appear healthy, smooth and have a nice healthy sheen. As I said, the second complaint we get most often about biracial hair is that it is too curly or too frizzy. There are some things you can do to control frizzyness and curliness. But, if you want to effect "permanent" (permanent until it grows out anyway) changes, you are looking at a chemical process. One thing we often advise mothers about though is please do not expect your child's hair to be like yours. And, please do not make her feel as though something is wrong with her hair because it's "frizzy" or curly. You should picture your child's hair as a collection of fine fibers. You should treat it as gently as you would a fine washable silk blouse. The better you treat her hair, the easier it will be to grow and the better it will look. You should be aware that African hair and biracial hair tends to be drier than Caucasian hair. The structure of our hair makes it more difficult for the oils to work their way from the scalp to the ends of the hair. Because our hair is kinky, it tends to tangle more and pulling these tangles out can cause breakage. In spite of appearances, black hair and biracial hair tends to be more fragile than Caucasian hair. The lack of moisture and elasticity and the kinks that get grabbed when styling or combing make for hair that can be broken easily. Someone once asked me if natural hair is meant to be combed. Actually, the answer probably is no. I don't think our hair was structured to be combed at all. So, as long as we're going to do it, we have to do it causing the least amount of damage possible. Both of my daughters have natural hair. We receive a lot of compliments about their hair. They are technically not biracial. We have a mixed heritage (as do most African Americans). But, many of the same things I do for them can be adapted for biracial hair care. Here are my "secrets".

Tools For Biracial Hair Maintenance

Wide tooth comb or pick or brush made for African American hair. We like "detangling" combs and the Kakakiki Kombbrush
Good moisturizing shampoo and cream conditioner
Moisturizing solution or spray
Deep conditioning treatment or hot oil treatment for once a month application
Satin sleep cap and/or pillow cases
Spray bottle to spritz hair before styling
Microwaveable or Electric Heat Cap
How do I comb out kinky biracial hair?

This section will be particularly important to those of you who have not worked with kinky hair. Never try to comb out kinky hair while it is dry. Use a moisturizer to provide elasticity to the hair and to reduce friction. Be sure you have a wide tooth comb. You might want to look for a "detangling" comb. If you're used to fine tooth combs, it might look a little strange to you. But, generally speaking, the farther apart the teeth the better. I generally do not use bristled brushes because I find they tend to grab the hair. I have a Kakakiki KombBrush, which does a great job on the girls' natural hair. It's a combination comb and brush in one device. It's shaped like a brush, but has round teeth more like a comb. Be patient and gentle when combing kinky hair. If your daughter is screaming, you might want to consider that you are pulling too hard. I begin by working in sections. I part the hair and tie off the part I am not working on at the time. I gently grasp the hair near the scalp with my free hand and work the comb against that hand, rather than against the scalp. Comb gently beginning near the roots and work your way up- until all kinks are free. I then tie that section off and start on the next section.

How do I wash biracial hair?

You should begin by washing hair about once a week. In the winter this might stretch out a little longer. I wash more often in the summer when the kids are playing outside and sweating. But, one of the commonly made mistakes non-African parents of Biracial or African children make is to wash their children's hair too frequently. Many of my Caucasian friends wash their own hair daily because they have fine hair that gets weighed down with their natural oils. In a biracial child, overwashing can lead to dullness and dryness. For biracial hair care, you may want to consider washing a little more often than once a week. But, you will rarely want to wash more than a couple of times a week. I like to use different shampoos to eliminate the possibility of build-up from a particular shampoo.

Between washings

If your child swims or sweats from her scalp, you may be tempted to wash too often. One way to stretch out the time between washings is to just rinse the hair with warm water, condition and go from there.

Washing an infant's hair

If your child is very young (too young to keep her eyes closed), use a no tears baby shampoo. These shampoos contain agents that keep the eyes from stinging. These shampoos can be drying, especially for African or biracial hair care. So, transition to a nice mild shampoo as soon as possible.

How do I dry biracial hair?

Wash gently, but thoroughly, massaging the scalp while washing. When you dry, blot with a towel rather than rubbing vigorously. Avoid heat as much as possible for drying. Allow the hair to air dry or you can even use a conditioning cap to drive some of the moisture out before blasting the hair with forced hot air.

How do I condition biracial hair?

Immediately after washing, condition the hair following the directions on the bottle of conditioner. If the bottle doesn't have directions, apply a small amount of conditioner to the hair, working it through. Allow to sit on the hair for at least 1 minute and rinse out.

How do I deep conditioner biracial hair?

At least once or twice a month, after shampooing, deep condition the hair. I use one several products. Put one of the deep conditioning products on after shampooing and use either a microwave or professional heat cap for 30 minutes or so. The gentle moist heat from the caps allows the cuticles of the hair to open and the moisturizer to penetrate the hair shaft. A good hot oil treatment could be done here instead.

How do I moisturize biracial hair?

The most important key to healthy African American or Biracial hair care is moisture. Because of the structure of our hair, it tends to become dry easily. Dry hair lacks elasticity and therefore is brittle. Moisturize with good products and do it often. Moisturizing is not necessarily the same as oiling. And it is certainly not the same as putting on what we used to call "grease" (see below). After the Deep Conditioning or Conditioning I moisturize. I recommend moisturizing at least twice a week. I moisturize whenever I style and often in-between, if we happen to be wearing a leave in style for several days.

Should I put oil on biracial hair?

The subject of whether to oil or not is controversial in African or biracial hair care. You'll have to decide for yourself. My experience has been that, for my daughters, and me, oil is good for our hair. The right oil though is of vital importance. We only use all natural oils, mostly plant oils. We avoid mineral oil and petroleum based products. The one notable exception to the plant oil rule is emu oil (an animal oil). I love emu oil! Not only does it soften and lubricate, it contains essential fatty acids and reduces inflammation which helps hair grow. However, oiling is one of those places where you'll really have to experiment. One of my daughters can use a heavier oil than the other. She can even use pure Shea Butter. The other daughter's hair is too thin and looks weighed down with Shea Butter. My biracial nieces have different needs. One has very fine, smooth hair and needs no additional oils at all. The other can use a light oil which really helps control the frizziness.

To apply the product, I put a little of the product in the palm of my hand (and melt it, if it's a solid product). I then rub it on the hair and massage into the scalp. I will not use anything that doesn't melt at body temperature. If I happen to use something with a little beeswax (which has a relatively high melting point), I make sure it still melts at body temperature so that it doesn't build up. I often mix a couple of the products. To be safe, I mostly use products that are liquid at room temperature. Some of my favorite oils are:

Shea Butter Oil- has the wonderful properties of Shea Butter, but in a much lighter, liquid form. We began our company selling nothing but Shea Butter products. That was before Shea Butter was as popular as it is now. It's still a key ingredient in many of our hair and happinesslifetime.com skin care products. We use Shea Butter as the main carrier oil in several of our products.
Emu Oil- unbelievably good for scalp health. Improves circulation, reduces inflammation and has natural antiseptic properties. All help promote hair growth.
Jojoba Oil- the closest thing to natural sebum itself. Jojoba oil is technically a wax, not an oil. It can actually make oily skin less oily and dry skin more oily, In other words, it helps bring skin into balance. In the case of biracial hair care, we are generally seeking to add oil to the scalp.
Castor Oil- nice all natural plant oil that helps humectify (draw moisture to) the hair and scalp
How often should I moisturize biracial hair?

This is very important. I repeat the Moisturize and/or Oiling steps above on a daily basis when I'm combing/styling the girls' hair. Even if we're in a non-comb style (like twists), I'll touch them up just about daily, with something. I'm careful to avoid build-up and I don't use a lot of product. You will have to experiment with your hair to see how often it needs to be moisturized and what weight of product you should use.

How do I style biracial hair?

Generally, I style the girls' hair without the use of styling products. Since they are young, mostly, they're in ponytails, plaits, braids or the like. But, I mix it up and am very cautious about overly tight styles that can lead to scalp damage and even a certain type of hair loss. I especially avoid any styling products that might be drying to their hair. You'll want to be very careful with hair sprays, mousse products, gels etc. But, there are a few aids I use for certain hair styles to provide hold or some straightening.

How do I keep those beautiful ringlets in my hair?

Many biracial people have naturally beautiful curls when their hair is wet and would like to keep that look once the hair dries. If you have naturally soft curls, one of our clients has suggested a way that she styles her biracial hair that works for her.

For those with softer, natural curls who just want more definition, this is a great technique. This hair style is well suited to bi-racial hair types. For soft springy curls here is the procedure.

Wash hair at least 1x per week (the other days just rinse)
Detangle hair each day
Put in a leave in conditioner. Whatever helps detangle and leaves hair feeling soft. SheaMoisture Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioner is great for this step.
Saturate hair with Black Earth Protective Mist Bodifier
Put Treasured Locks Locks of Curls Curl Defining Pomade & Gel or other styling gel in hair
Apply a little hair oil
Let air dry if possible (you can put your hair in a ponytail to stretch it a little or just let it air dry
In the winter- use a blow dryer on the lowest temp, gently stretching the hair as you dry it.
How do I control "frizziness" or curliness in biracial hair?

As I said earlier, expectations are important when it comes to hair. Most of the time biracial children are not going to have hair that is as smooth as Caucasian or Asian children. So completely eliminating frizziness and/or curliness may require drastic methods and send a message that the natural hair is undesirable. But, we do have products that will help reduce the frizzyness, to an extent. Natural-Laxer MIX is a treatment that can be applied about once a month. It is all-natural and works to gently tame wild hair. We've had people of various ethnicities who are very pleased with it. It does not actually alter the structure of the hair like a relaxer would. It can be applied in the home and wears off after several weeks. For those looking for a more permanent solution, a mild relaxer, a texturizer or a kiddie perm might be something to consider. Before you do though, please read our precautions when it comes to permanents/relaxers (see below). If you're not familiar with them, please be informed before you make that decision.

What about perms (relaxers) for biracial hair?

We often get questions concerning perms for young girls. Generally, we recommend against perms for prepubescent girls. Their hair and skin aren't fully developed and changing their hair texture this early in life (especially a permanent change) can send the message to them that their hair isn't good enough. Our nine year old is proud of her natural hair and says she will never perm it. But, our six year old says she will. Ironically, it's the older one who has the thicker hair. When they are old enough, they can decide on their own. I use Natural-Laxer MIX on our older daughter. It has made her hair much more manageable and improved the texture. I can comb her hair in about half the time it used to take and I've seen a large reduction in the amount of hair left in the comb after combing. Perming or relaxing the hair might seem like an easy solution to the kinky/frizzy/hard-to-comb problem. But, there are several things you should know before heading down this path. We've seen unaware mothers actually make things much worse by not knowing this before getting started. Consider the following before you start perming.

We do not recommend home box perms. People often ask us to recommend specific perms to them. We do not recommend any perms because we do not sell any. A beautician has told us that they are not the same quality as the salon perms. I don't know if that's true. But, even if it is not, a chemical relaxer or perm is a process that is best performed by a professional. Serious damage can be done to the hair (that can never be repaired, it has to grow out). A relaxer, improperly applied can do permanent damage to the scalp. The only compromise we would even contemplate on this would be to take your child to a local beauty school, if you just cannot pay the money the salons are charging. At least they'll get the perm under professional supervision. And, the cost is usually a pretty small fraction of the cost in a salon.
If you insist on applying perms at home, please read and follow the instructions carefully. Do not keep perming the part of the hair that has already been treated. Only apply the perm to the new growth (the kinky stuff underneath). Perming the same part of a strand of hair over and over again thins it a little each time. Eventually, it will break. This is not an "if" question. It's a "when".
If you begin to relax your child's hair, you must keep on doing it. When the natural hair reaches a certain length underneath the relaxed hair (hair grows from the root), the hair begins going through a transition stage. At this point, the hair is very vulnerable to excessive breakage. Generally speaking, a perm will be required every 6-8 weeks unless you are prepared to transition back to natural hair. Transitioning, without taking proper precautions can be very traumatic because of the breakage.
If you relax your child's hair, you weaken the hair and reduce the ability for the scalp to naturally oil itself. Permed hair is especially delicate and must be cared for even more diligently than natural hair. But, it's better to perm hair than to fry it with excessive heat trying to make it straight or to end up breaking it off by combing it too aggressively.
How should I handle pony tails?

As I mentioned earlier, these bound hairstyles are great for little girls. They keep the hair from going wild and from tangling. I can often get a few days out of a style, too. But, these bound styles can lead to hair disaster- as in severe, and even permanent, hair loss. Here are some dos and don'ts you will want to be aware of:

Don't- use common rubber bands to hold her hairstyles. Also, avoid the bands with the metal clips, which grab and break kinky hair. Rubber bands cause too much friction on the hair and will eventually cause breakage. Buy covered bands or smooth bands made especially for hair.
Do- remove any bands from the hair every night before bed time. Even the best bands should be removed before retiring for the evening.
Don't- pull the hair too tight. While it may be attractive, if you see your daughter's eyebrows arching like she's just had a face-lift you could be doing damage to her scalp. If you start to notice bumps around her hairline or elsewhere on her scalp, you could be causing traction alopecia. Normally, changing the hairstyle easily reverses this. But, if it is continued, this practice can lead to permanent hair loss.
What should I do when sleeping?

As instructed above, please remove tight bands from hair before sleeping. Using a satin pillowcase or a satin sleep cap will reduce friction with the pillow and help retain moisture in the hair.

Should I trim my ends?

The ends of the hair are the oldest parts because hair grows from the root. If the ends are neglected, they can begin to split; causing damage even further down the hair. It may be counterintuitive. But, trimming the ends can actually lead to having longer hair. If you notice the ends of the hair are very dry, you might want to make sure you are doing a good job conditioning. If you notice they looked frayed, more tangled than normal or split, have them trimmed. I neglected this for a long time with my girls. But, since starting, I immediately noticed an improvement in the manageability of their hair. It was actually easier to comb just after trimming the ends.

How can I make my hair grow faster?

I take a supplement for hair strength and another for hair growth.. I have had a noticeable improvement in the condition of my hair and nails since using these supplements. Proper nutrition is essential to good hair health.Supplements can certainly help with that. However, we do not recommend these products for children under the age of 13. They are formulated for the needs of an adult. I can recommend the use of Treasured Locks H2G Hair Growth Serum. I use it for both myself and the girls. The blend of essential oils and emu oil help promote hair growth by stimulating the scalp and by keeping the hair well oiled and soft.

Vitamins for hair loss can help people suffering from the condition stop it from worsening. It has been known that a deficiency in some vitamins and minerals contribute greatly to hair loss. However, those who are experiencing long term hair loss are afflicted with the condition through their genes.

In order to combat hair loss, it is necessary that you stimulate your scalp to improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. Stimulating your scalp can come in the form of a massage which increases the blood flow as well. Through stimulation, you promote a healthy hair growth. In addition to stimulating your scalp, you should also take in some nutrients that are needed for your hair to grow healthy. You can either take these nutrients in supplemental form or you can simply include these in your diet by eating foods which contain it.

For example, the B vitamins are important hair vitamins. They are needed for the optimum growth of your hair. If you want to ensure that your hair grows healthy, you should include in your diet a variety of foods which contain the B vitamins like eggs, beans, peas, nuts, soy beans, carrots, and cauliflower. It is also recommended that you take a Vitamin B Complex supplement plus the other B vitamins like B3, B6, and B5 to get the best results.

Vitamin C is another vitamin necessary for healthy hair. It joins the list of vitamins for hair loss because it improves the circulation of blood to the hair follicles. It also improves your overall hair health. The recommended dose for Vitamin C intake is at least 3, 000 mg daily.

You should also take biotin if you want to stop hair loss. It is a vitamin which helps give you great hair as well as great skin. You can either take it as supplements or incorporate foods rich in it in your diet. If you choose the latter, make sure you eat a generous amount of brown rice, walnuts, green peas, brewer's yeast, and sunflower seeds. But if you'd rather take it as a supplement, see to it that you consume 3 doses of 50 mg each per day. Also, there are happinesslifetime.com hair care products which contain biotin that you can use.

Another vitamin which is beneficial for your hair is vitamin E. Vitamin E increases the amount of oxygen carried in the blood for better circulation. It also enhances the immune system which improves hair growth. The minimum dosage of vitamin E to take daily is 400 IU.

Other nutrients like iron, zinc, iodine, copper, and lysine can also prevent hair loss. Taken with the vitamins for hair loss, the results are just amazing.

When we think of our hair, skin, and nails, we need to think they are all connected. After all they are the extension of our biggest organ - our skin. Yes, our skin is an organ. And just like our other organs that we cannot usually see, our overall health reflects in their condition and appearance.

The unique thing about our skin is that it can usually tell us what is actually going on inside our bodies. Perhaps we have a vitamin deficiency or have an illness, or whether we embarrassed or afraid - our skin can tell us so many things about our current state of health.

As a natural extension of our skin tissue is our hair and nails. We also know that our hair condition and the color and quality of our nails can also be informative. A bluish tint to our nails for example can tell us we aren't getting enough oxygen. A reddish cherry hint from our nails might determine that we are not getting enough iron. A sudden loss of hair might indicate drug use or sudden illness or stress factors.

So, we know that the health of our skin is extremely important and that taking care of our skin on the outside with sun block and moisturizing creams. We also know that important hair hygiene is important for healthy hair and to preserve the micro flora on the scalp. As we age, a decrease in vitamins and trace minerals also leads to porous nails, increasing the changes for fungal infections. The decrease in essential vitamins and minerals also leads to increase ridges on the nails which can be unsightly.

The overall health of our skin, nails, and hair are all connected. They depend on a unique blend of nutrients to maintain their luster, youthful appearance, and optimal health. Consider a fortifying mix of nutritional support to increase the look and feel of your hair, skin, and nails.

Alpha Renew provides unique blend of potent nutrients to help maintain great quality hair, stronger nails, and beautiful skin. It can be found at alpharenew.com alpharenew.com.

No matter how much hair you have on your head (short of being completely bald); and whether you're experiencing hair loss or not; it's worthwhile to take the best care of your hair that you can. And while it is important to do this, doing too much of it can be worse than not doing enough.

It would seem that by now, there'd be no mysteries surrounding correct hair care techniques for everyone to use. After all, we've been in pursuit of beautiful hair for almost all of human history. But women (and men) struggle with this today as much as they ever have. It seems that for many people, there is no easy way to discern best way to care for hair. Add to that the fact that many hairstyles and hair styling techniques put a lot of stress on the hair, and you can see why the easy answer to hair care eludes many of us.

People have been fighting the battle for beautiful hair for millennia. Some have had to endure vermin infested coifs or wigs; while others have gone so far as to shave the head and cover it with wigs in an effort to achieve the perfection they sought.

We're still greatly influenced by fashion and the latest hair trends. But when these latest fads require that we damage our hair, in order to get the look we desire, we should take a step back from the process and ask ourselves, "is it worth permanent damage to our hair to satisfy a passing fancy". We can't trade our head of hair in for a whole new one. There are treatments and techniques that can cause damage to hair and scalp that are non-reversible.

As for styling, you're always going to better off in the long run choosing styles and products that do the least amount of damage. Chemical and heat straighteners and other harsh methods and products should be used sparingly if at all. If your hair is of the type that's naturally curly or kinky, trying to maintain a straightened look will ultimately weaken the hair possibly to the point of fallout. And styles that require a significant amount of tension in the hair, like very tight braids or pigtails, can result in a permanent type of hair loss called traction alopecia. That's where the hair follicle is permanently damaged because of constant pulling and tension over long periods of time. While this condition may be reversible if caught early, waiting too long will render it permanent.

Combing and brushing hair can damage, too, it if it's overdone. This is especially so for those who have hair types that are difficult to pass a comb through easily. When this happens, the hair is broken off because it catches in the comb. If done too often, hair is broken off at a greater rate than it grows, resulting in the phenomenon of a person who isn't going bald, but whose hair is getting shorter.

In general, use happinesslifetime.com hair care products and treatments sparingly. And damage from overuse applies to coloring as much as anything. Hair should be in healthy condition before hair coloring is done, otherwise the damage to the hair from using these chemicals too much can be irreversible. Keep blow dryers a safe distance from the hair (at least 8 inches) and don't overuse. And don't glom on gels and oils on your hair. The less you work it, the healthier your hair will ultimately be.

Of course, it's important to wash your hair, but even that can be done to excess. Too much washing and the natural oils (sebum) that the scalp produces to lubricate the hair and keep it shiny (and beautiful) can be stripped from it. When washing the hair, especially if it's long, wash all of it but focus on the hair closest to the scalp, as this is the least likely to be stripped dry. This will use the cleaning powers of shampoo where it's most needed - and get rid of the dirt, pollutants and build of happinesslifetime.com hair care products closest to the scalp. The longer, end part of the hair will not be rendered dry and brittle by this technique.

Concentrate conditioning at the end of the hair, as this is the area most likely to need it. Again, while you should condition all of the hair, use it sparingly and focus on the part of the hair that needs it most.

Finally, to keep hair looking it's best, it should be trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. This will get rid of the split ends, which are often dry as well as damaged. This will add immensely to the overall health and appearance of your hair.

Aloe Vera has long been known as the premium hair care plant. This thorny little thing may not be as popular as the rose or the tulip when it comes to love and beauty but this wonder plant is one of the most useful in all of nature in dealing with a variety of reasons. And it's not really bad as a decorative plant as well. So what other things can you do with Aloe Vera that will definitely make your life much cooler?

You can use Aloe Vera as the following:

- Diabetes Prevention: There have been sufficient studies that have shown aloe extracts to increase blood glucose levels. This means that using Aloe Vera or consuming it can slow down the development of diabetes if not stop it altogether. Medications, especially those that are herbal in nature contain significant amounts of Aloe Vera in their ingredients. This truly is the healthy choice!

- Wound Disinfectant: If you get cut and you can't find any alcohol or other forms of disinfectants, fear not! Aloe Vera can get you out of that tight spot. Due to its disinfecting qualities, Aloe Vera can be a great substitute for other kinds of disinfectants. By protecting wounds from certain microorganisms, it ensures that you are safe from infection. Take note that using too much of it can hinder the wound from drying up because of Aloe Vera's moistening qualities. So use it wisely!

- Flavoring: Although Aloe Vera tastes pretty bad on its own with its intensely bitter flavor, it actually works well in combination with some food. Yogurt, some desserts and drinks. Combine it with some of your pastries and watch yourself float to the heavens with the wonderful flavor it produces!

So you see, Aloe Vera is much more than a household decoration or a skin care product. Maximizing the many uses of this plant can make your life a whole lot cooler and easier.

I think many of us know the importance of hairs in ancient Egyptian civilizations. All of us might have seen their paintings with dark black long hairs worn by each individual. Both men and women used to have long hairs at least the shoulder length. Hairs were an important symbol of beauty for old Egyptians and they really worked hard to promote their growth and prevent any type of hair loss. It is their great concern for hairs that led to the formation of wigs. Yes, Egyptians were first to introduce wigs. These wigs were usually made from animal hairs and were quite expansive. Both men and women used to wear wigs on their special occasions while there were some who used them on regular basis.

Beside using these artificial means, Egyptians also developed numerous natural remedies to get healthy hairs that do not damage or fall easily. In fact many of them are obsolete now but still there are many home remedies of those ancient times that have been proved successful and are still in use. The most common natural treatments for hair loss was chopped lettuce, which is still used in certain parts of the world even today. A paste was made by chopping lettuce and then applied on the bald areas in the hope of hair regrowth. Beside this there were also many other easy home remedies for hair loss that were prevalent in old Egyptian times and are successful till these modern days.

When it comes to taking care of your hair,  there are a few important issues to discuss, one of the most prominent one is laser hair care. The most regular use for it is to assist with hair loss, as many people would like their hair to be removed off some parts of their body such as the legs, back, and chest. Laser hair removal is known to be very efficient because different from shaving where it only removes the hair temporarily, while laser hair removal provides results longer or permanently.

How Effective Are These Services

The New Hair Institute has been around since 1992, though there are some great laser hair care services available out there these days, they are still truly a world leader in innovating hair transplantation techniques, performing clinical research, and in teaching these many different techniques to the hair transplantation community.

The TLC Dermal Laser Clinic is another great company which is truly dedicated to providing a long term cosmetics skin care answer to unwanted and excess body hair. The company realizes that laser hair removal is a very personal judgment and because of this they make sure that client's privacy is respected and also offers tailored service in a confidential setting at all of their centers.

The Best Time To Consult a Doctor

It would be best, if anyone who chooses to go for any sort of laser hair care procedure to speak to their doctor first. We don't deny that there will be qualified professionals assisting at the laser hair center as well, but if you speak to your own doctor first this is still the best idea. After all, there may be some risks or dangers to the particular procedure involved which the person may not aware of.

The doctor will be able to work along with their client and assist them in deciding whether or not it is the best option for them, and usually he will also discuss any possible side effects or other dangers that might crop up with them. This will have to be brought to attention because there are some medications that are not safe to use when having the treatment.

You would be able to find many other laser hair care available as well which do not involve lasers, and you should make sure that you are aware of all of these before making any decisions. Most of us would like to have the healthiest and most beautiful hair therefore making the right decisions is important. You will be able to choose the products because there are many great products available that can help you achieve the hair you want if it doesn't appeal to you.

Whilst it is uncertain as to what actually causes oily hair, some experts think that the job that you do could potentially be a factor in how your hair turns out. For example, lifeguards can often suffer from dry, damaged hair, due to the fact that they are always in contact with chlorine in swimming pools, and the salt in the sea can also contribute.

So What Occupations can contribute Towards Oily Hair Then?

There are a variety of jobs which can lead to oily hair. Jobs which make you sweat quite a lot for example such as warehouse jobs or gardening. There is nothing you can really do to prevent your job from contributing towards your oily hair as it is unlikely that you will be able to give it up completely.

That means that you can only really control the condition, rather than eliminate it completely. However, if the condition does get particularly bad, you may want to consider changing jobs as oily hair can contribute towards acne.

Treating Oily Hair

The best way to treat oily hair is to wash it frequently. You will need a mild shampoo as you will be washing the hair daily from now on and you do not want your regular shampoo to strip the hair of its natural oils. Whilst it may seem like a good idea because after all, your hair is oily, there are still some essential oils which the hair needs in order to stay healthy.

A mild shampoo is gentle on the hair, yet it is also extremely effective and tough on oily hair.

Natural remedies are particularly effective such as talcum powder and lemon juice. Talcum powder can be used when you do not have much time and you need a quick fix to get rid of excess oil. Simply sprinkle a little through your hair, leave it on for around fifteen minutes and then brush it out. The hair should look shiny, dryer and it should be virtually oil free (at least for the time being).

Vinegar is also well known for treating oily hair and it should be used as a rinse when you wash the hair. Lemon juice is also good as a rinse and it tends to work quite well too. If you have darker hair, something you could try whilst you are at work is make sure you take a little hand towel with you in your bag, and some hairspray.

Then on your break, if your hair is looking greasy, simply spray on some hairspray and rub it with a towel. The alcohol within the hairspray tends to soak up all the excess oil and it can make oily hair look full of life and bouncy again.

A job which causes a lot of stress could be contributing to your oily hair also. Stress hormones are often thought to cause oily hair and if your job is causing you permanent stress, you really do need to try and find a way to relax. Try not to take your work home with you. Take up a hobby which you find relaxing. Some people try yoga which also keeps them fit as well as calm, and others try knitting.

Knitting can actually lower your blood pressure too so it may well be worth taking up anyway! Just generally keeping as calm and relaxed as possible should help and it will also help to lengthen your life too!

Overall as mentioned earlier, your job does contribute towards oily hair, though there is not really a lot you can do about it. You can try quick fixes and they will work for a while, but generally you can only treat the problem, you cannot eliminate it completely.

You really like how your hair looks when leaving the hairdresser, but how can you achieve that look when you are at home? If you begin with a quality haircut, then applying professional hair products with the right tools can get you a nice hairstyle by yourself. Here are some ideas on buying and using professional hair products.

 

1. Ask your hairdresser which products they recommend.

 

2. If you're thinking that you'd like to try something new, talk to your stylist about trying it on your hair while you're there in the salon to see if you really do like the results before you spend your money on it.

 

3. Before you take the product home with you, make sure you've learned how to use it properly. Ask for advice on achieving the look you desire.

 

4. Select a shampoo and conditioner with a formula suitable for your needs, because good-looking hair begins at the roots. For example, figure out whether your hair is oily, color-treated, balanced, or dry to assist you in figuring out what is right.

5. Use an intensive treatment, if the hair contains split ends or is extremely dry.

6. Products from the same line may be a good idea to try, as they may be similarly designed.

 

7. In order to find other products that might work well for you, do take the time to peruse all that is available for sale at your own salon, along with a hair product supplier that sells to the general public. Ask staff for suggestions.

 

8. You will get what you pay for. Professional products are costly but will be a worthy investment.

 

9. In order to achieve best results, you must always use product as directed on the packaging.

 

10. If you're experimenting with something you haven't used before, start with a small bottle until you're sure it will work well for you. Assuming that you are pleased with the outcome, you should buy the larger, economy size the next time around.

 

11. Some professional hair products can be bought at better drug stores and discount stores, but there will not be much difference in prices from those you buy at a salon, and you won't be able to consult any knowledgeable person to help you choose the right product to meet your needs. Also, many products are not guaranteed by their makers unless they are purchased at a professional salon.

Warning:

Look for expiration dates on the packages to ensure that the products are not too old. Professional hair care items can be purchased at a discount price at job-lot stores but be aware that the products are sometimes old or past the expiration date.

 

Quick Advice:

Speak with your friends who have similar hair to see which styling products they prefer.

Look for a photo of a hairstyle you think looks nice and talk to your stylist about how you can get the look.

Similar to other health-related issues, there also exists many home-made remedies for hair loss and other aspects of hair care. This article will briefly explain some home-made remedies for hair loss (or rather the prevention of hair loss); how to have shiny and healthy hair; getting rid of split ends, and enjoying soft, shiny and manageable hair as practiced in Asian countries.

Home remedy for hair loss - Take several limes and rub over the whole scalp. Follow up with egg white. Then wrap your hair in a clean towel overnight. The next day, wash your hair with lukewarm water, and rinse with cold water. Try this at least twice a week.

For shiny and healthy hair - Collect some rubber wood, burn them, and dry the ash for a couple of days. Once the ash is dried, proceed to pound them till fine and mix with some coconut oil. Coat your hair with this mixture daily for about 10 minutes. If done right, the results should be evident after a few weeks.

Home remedy to get rid of split ends - Take some coconut milk and boil with some slices of pandanus (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) leaf. When the oil has bubbled up, let it cool. Before retiring for the night, coat your hair with this concoction and cover it (hair) up with a towel or anything you find convenient. The next morning, shampoo your hair as usual. Try this treatment for one week for best results.

Home remedy for soft, shiny and manageable hair - Take two cups of thick santan, two stalks of aloe vera, five pandanus leaves and one egg yolk. Grind the pandanus leaves with the aloe vera and collect the liquid. Add egg-yolk to the liquid and stir till well mixed. Coat this mixture on your hair with a gentle massaging motion for about five minutes. Follow this up by covering your hair with a piece of cloth or towel for another 10 minutes. Rinse clean. If you suffer from dandruff, add a little lime to the mixture before using. Try this treatment several times for best results.

A word of caution - since these are home remedies for hair loss and great looking hair, it goes without saying that its effectiveness are not scientifically proven. Hence, when in doubt, it is always best to consult your hair specialist or doctor before trying.

Some individuals may not be able to prevent hair loss if there are genetic factors involved or an immune system disorder.

In many cases however, being aware of factors that can unnecessarily damage the hair can help prevent hair loss or at least minimize the danger. Look over the 5 precautions below and see if any apply to your lifestyle:

#1 Prevent Hair Loss By Choosing The Right Shampoo

Alkaline based hair shampoos can damage hair and even kill it. If you purchase shampoos designed to give your hair more volume and bounce, be especially careful. Check the information on the packaging and use only shampoos with a pH factor in the 4.5 to 7 range to be safe.

#2 Prevent Hair Loss By Treating Your Hair With Respect

Hair is particularly fragile when wet. So do not use a brush which causes too much tension on the hair causing it to break. Rather, use a wide-tooth comb and lightly comb the hair carefully.

For the same reason never rub the hair vigorously with a towel after a bath or shower. Instead, dab and pat the hair to remove excess moisture.

Do not use hair dryers on high heat settings to avoid heat damage and keep either your head or the hair dryer moving so the jet of hot air is not concentrated on one area for too long.

#3 Prevent Hair Loss By Not Smoking

Smoking has a major negative impact on the body's circulatory system. Hair follicles thrive on a constant supply of oxygenated blood. Smoking adversely affects the blood's ability to do its job.

Additionally, the nicotine smoker's crave causes the body to produce more adrenalin, a stress hormone. Stress can be a major contributing factor in hair loss.

So if you want to prevent hair loss and save a substantial amount of money at the same time, invest in a program to quit smoking.

#4 Prevent Hair Loss Through Proper Diet And Exercise

Many people can greatly improve their diet by simply cutting out sugar overloads from candies, cakes, soft drinks, etc. A balanced diet with correct proportions of fruit, vegetables, cereals, dairy products and protein can have an amazing effect on the health of the scalp and hair production.

Regular exercise, something as simple as a 30 minute brisk walk a few times a week, can do much to keep the circulatory system in good working order and deliver oxygenated blood to the scalp and hair follicles.

#5 Prevent Hair Loss With The Daily Scalp Massage

The purpose of scalp massage is to increase blood circulation. An ideal time for many is to do it in the morning while in the shower, even in conjunction with using hair shampoo.

Just use the balls of the fingers to apply light pressure to the scalp in a circular movement, one area at a time. Move from the forehead to the back until the whole head, front, temples, crown, back of the head, have received this massaging motion.

It will take discipline to make this procedure a daily habit. However, spending just a few minutes a day while showering in massaging the scalp can contribute to good blood flow in the essential areas that control hair growth.

None of the suggestions above are particularly revolutionary or astounding. Most are just common sense. The challenge however is in doing them. If you have the motivation and self-discipline to employ the 5 strategies above, you may well prevent hair loss from causing you unnecessary anxiety.

Presently, as time would have it, human beings have become attraction poles for diseases. We perhaps like it this way. It is understandable that life has outpaced us and this is truer for advanced countries. Perhaps we have become wealthier. But all this has left us with little time to care about ourselves. What it does is, in everyday life, we are forced to carry sluggish faces, undernourished hair, and a variety of syndromes to our social lives. The situation cannot get worse from here.

Let's take the example of hair care. Undernourished scalps produce many diseases. The scalps try hard but finally give away. The degeneration can be due to stress levels, poor dietary habits lacking in sufficient proteins, an extreme lifestyle or possible dandruffs and lice. Well, perhaps it is a little difficult to cut down on ever-impending stress levels or even extremities of lifestyles but is it actually so difficult cutting down on the lice in hair?

Let's first understand what lice are. They are those small creepy organisms with parasitic behavior. They do extremely well on our hair surfaces and gain their nourishment through human blood. It is not conducive for them to develop in any other part of home thus people have largely unfounded worries about a lice infesting various parts of the house.

Lice are of three types; Nits, nymphs, and adults. The first one is an egg head lice, it later develops into a nymph and subsequently adult. The adults are grey in color and have six legs; they feed on blood and can live up to a month on human hair. The lice spread through contact, or if we wear already contaminated clothing. It can also spread if we use combs or hairbrushes already afflicted with lice. Moreover sleeping on affected beds, couches or pillows can start the process of infestation in us. The lice can cause sporadic to frequent itching. In fact they can be quite disgusting in social gatherings.

Lice can be cured through few nontoxic shampoos, conditioners and advanced combs. Apart form this, it is important to have all the contaminated places completely cleaned to prevent its further spread.

Hair care -Nisska comb is one such product for curing the head lice infestation. It is a long-toothed comb manufactured from stainless steel. It cleans the hair with alacrity and does so very smoothly so that there is no chance of a hair fall. The procedure is simple. Just start with the scalp from the lower side and comb up and farther away from the head. It is also important to keep wiping the comb on a clean white paper so that we can gauge what we are actually removing. We are most likely to see sesame-seed sized lice. You got them , they are the adult ones. We just need to continue with the combing process adding a little conditioner for greater effect.

The rage among some celebrities is the Sedu hair styles. Sedu is a play on the words seduce or seductive. The Sedu hair styles is achieved by the use of a Sedu flat iron. This is actually a heating rod made from the precious Tourmaline, used to straighten curly hair.

Did you know that hair mirrors not only what goes on in our minds but also the condition of our body physically.

Individuals who live closer to nature have thicker hair. Our hair becomes finer as we live a life style of refined food away from nature. The best care we can give our hair is a natural way of life with plenty of exercise in the open air and a natural diet. This, along with the Sedu hair styles will produce beautiful hair.

Also, natural foods high in iron, silica, manganese, copper and sulphur are good for the hair, as hair contains these minerals.

For hair that may be balding, the use of lanolin, which contains vitamin F can be beneficial. Lanolin is obtained from sheep wool and can help with scalp problems.

When it comes to male and female hair loss there are many myths. Knowing whether there is any truth to these myths can help you find ways of preventing hair loss or treating the loss that has already occurred. Consider some of the more common myths.

Hair Loss Myths

Perhaps the biggest myth is that there is no cure for hair loss. While there is no one treatment for everyone suffering from a loss of hair, each person is different and there are some treatment options. Some individuals can stop it while others may be able to grow new hair. When you talk with your doctor they will discuss your treatment options include Propecia, Rogaine or happinesslifetime.com hair transplants.

Stimulating the circulation through frequent brushing can help prevent hair loss is a piece of advise you have likely heard. The truth is that frequent or heavy brushing of your hair can actually cause even more damage to your hair and make the problem worse. So you shouldn't do this if you don't want to lose more hair.

Similar to this is the myth that hair loss is caused by blow drying. While your hair can be damaged by the extreme heat from blow dryers which leads to hairs breaking off at the roots, this typically only affects the hair and not the follicle itself. To prevent this damage to your hair you simply need to use your blow dryer on the coolest setting rather than the hottest.

Another styling myth is that results from frequent shampooing. The exact opposite is really the truth. Shampooing benefits your hair by cleaning the hair and scalp of any buildup of dirt. Although to remove harmful detergents you should make sure you thoroughly wash out any shampoo in your hair. It is important to use a moisturizing conditioner after shampooing your hair so that you can replenish any lost moisture.

Some say that wearing hats can lead to hair loss. This isn't true, the follicle is the live part, not your hair. The nutrients from you body flow to your scalp. The oxygen or blood flow to the follicles of your hair isn't affected by wearing hats, just the hair which doesn't need to breath oxygen.

You have likely heard the myth that highlights, hair coloring, treatments, hairspray and other special treatments lead to hair loss. This too is false like a lot of styling myths. The hair is affected by these products, but not the follicles themselves. While the hair may be damaged by these chemicals, the damage cannot extend to the follicles.

However the routine will mainly depend on your skin type and nutritional needs. The basic thing about happinesslifetime.com skin care is to wash your skin. Those who have sensitive or dry skin should only use warm water. A mild natural cleanser along with warm water can be a good combination. Those who have oily or normal skin should go for the gentle cleanser.

Just like your skin needs cleaning, it also needs moisturizing. If you have dry skin, then it should be moisturized daily in order to hydrate the skin. The moisturizer acts as the food for skin. We often suffer under the misconception that because the skin becomes dry during the winter months, it needs special care. But even in summer months, the skin needs a good amount of moisturizer to keep it healthy. If your skin is healthy it will glow automatically. You do not need an extra dose of cosmetics to make your face extra pretty.

Surf the internet and buy the best happinesslifetime.com skin care products and keep it healthy.

For optimal black hair growth and health, you should develop a week by week regimen of what you will need to do to your hair in order to keep it clean, healthy and growing.

To create a basic hair care regimen, you need to determine the following things:

--DAILY--

1.**Figure out what times of day you need to moisturize and what products work best for your hair. You should have at least one moisturizer for adding moisture AND another moisturizer that specifically says it contains protein or that it is "Anti Breakage". Alternate between these two moisturizers as needed. I will tell you in another post how to tell if your hair needs more moisture or more protein.

2.**Oils and Sealants

To keep moisture in your hair after using your moisturizer, you will need to apply an oil to "seal in" the moisture so your hair wont get dried out. Good oils to use are olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, rosemary oil, sweet almond oil, carrot oil, tea tree oil, castor oil, etc. I'll have a detailed post just on essential oils later.

3.**Determine when and how you will style your hair and find products necessary to protect your hair from that styling. For example, if you style with a lot of heat, you will need to use a Heat Protectant on your hair each time you style to prevent damage.

4.**Leave-In Conditioner

Find a good leave in conditioner that makes your hair feel and look better. It may take a while of trying different products to find the one you like best. Infusium 23 is an example of a good leave-in conditioner.

5.**Determine how you will protect your hair while you are sleeping. Either wrap it up with a satin head wrap or use a satin or satin-like pillowcase. This prevents excess friction on your hair as you move around in bed, which will cause less hairs to be accidentally broken off. Wrapping your hair up in something also keeps the products you put on it from messing up your pillows and sheets!

6.**I have not yet discussed protective styles yet, but basically they are styles like buns, wraps, wigs, weaves, etc. that you can use to keep your hair protected from excess sun, dry air and friction from clothing. Putting a good moisturizer on the hair and using a protective style during the day is a great way to keep your hair moisturized all day. The less your hair is out and messed with, the better!

--WEEKLY--

1.**Determine how often per week (or bi-weekly) you will wash your hair and what products you will use. Remember to use a moisturizing shampoo.If your hair is very damaged and feels mushy, you should use a protein conditioner that says on the label that it contains protein or keratin. If your hair feels hard, stringy, dry and broken, use a moisturizing conditioner.

2.**Find a good deep conditioner. I would suggest using a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week. Even more if your hair is very damaged. Just like conditioners and moisturizers, there are deep conditioners especially made for hair that needs more protein or hair that needs more moisture. I will discuss deep conditioners and how to use them in an upcoming post. I personally use the Motions Deep Penetrating Treatment. Your hair may like a different product. Try a few different ones to see what works best.

3.**Vitamins, Diet, Exercise, Growth Aids

A good diet and exercise contributes a lot to having healthy hair. The body focuses first on internal processes, then on things like hair and nails last. So that means, if you aren't taking care of your insides as well, your body will give nutrients and vitamins to your insides first and your hair and nails may get neglected if you the body doesn't have enough nutrients to use for them. Using a good multivitamin supplement is a great idea to make sure your hair and scalp get their share of internal attention as well as the attention you pay to it from the outside. There are also supplements like Biotin, which can make hair and nails stronger.

4.You can also consider using growth aids to speed hair growth if that is your goal. Popular hair growth aids are Megatek by a company called Equiss and M-T-G by a company called Shapeley's. Do your research on products like these first and see what results others are having and how they need to be used. I am currently using Megatek and have also used MTG, so if you would like more specific information on these products, please comment or send me an email.

--MONTHLY--

1.**Determine how often you will relax your hair. It's a good idea to stretch as long as you can between relaxers to reduce the chance of you re-relaxing hair that has already been relaxed before. I will talk more about stretching later, but it gives the hair time to grow, so that it will be easier

to apply the touch up relaxer to the new growth only.

2.**When you use a lot of products in your hair every month, as most black women do, it is then necessary to use a Clarifying Shampoo once a month to remove buildup that regular shampoos do not remove. I use Suave Clarifying Shampoo once a month. If you continue to pile products onto hair that already has a lot of product buildup, products will start to not have as good of an effect on the hair as it did the first few times you used it. Clarifying gets rid of the buildup so products will once again be able to provide you with their full benefits.

If you do these things, you will have a pretty good basic regimen. It will take some time on your own to find the right products that work for you and are available in your area, and you can try to add things that you discover work for your hair that I may not have mentioned here. The important thing is that you learn what your hair needs on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis and keep up with doing it.
