"But my mother's hair, my mother's hair, like little candy rosettes, like little candy circles all curly and pretty..." by Sandra Cisneros.
There was a time when women used shrub stems to curl their hair, pinched their cheeks for color, applied eye make-up and use fragrances. The bath was their routine, as was clean, bouncy hair and laundered clothes. Women who came over on the Mayflower to the New World may not have had enough water to drink, but they sneaked behind the bushes to wash their white collars and caps.
Today, women are essentially the same. Much time, effort and money are spent in looking pretty. Hairstyles are important. That is why curling, perming, stretching, and drying are done. It makes a woman look fascinating.
Surprisingly, many of us get bald at an early age, and lose our hair lustre because of unhealthy follicles and hazards coming from sunlight, heat, dirt, chemicals and sometimes, even frequent washing. Even the way we comb can be dangerous.
How do we keep our hair healthy? Proper washing, using hair products designed for specific hair problems and eating the right foods keeps them healthy.
"The food we eat are very important," says a manager and hair shampoo expert.
Food supplies and gives the hair the vitamins and minerals like biotin, B complex (eggs, liver and kidneys, fish, whole grain), calcium (milk, cereals) and vitamin C (fruits and vegetables), among others. These vitamins and minerals act as anti-oxidants. Foods make us healthy and nourishes healthy skin and hair, too. They prevent the deterioration of cells.
All of the body needs extra care, and eating the right foods should be observed. As food is essential for a healthy body, a healthy body produces healthy follicles, healthy follicles brings out healthy hair. So it is wrong to say "dead hair" because all hair is dead as soon as it comes out of the scalp.
The sac where the hair is formed is important.
As to care, collagen should not be restricted to prevent its loss because when they fall, no hair will grow from that stem. The foods we eat are very much related to good health, and good blood circulation. Therefore, the basic rule experts say is to eat the right foods.
The cycle of the hair is at least 20 years. The hundred thousand strands that grow on our heads can be replaced five times. When collagen is restricted, strand falls, and no strand grows. Good hair moisturiser or conditioner can put back the lost nourishment.
Take care!
