There are literally thousands of happinesslifetime.com hair care products on the market. Each promising to give your hair health and nourishment. While the products you use are important, there are really three basic things that will help you maintain good hair health. A healthy and adequate diet, proper hair maintenance and avoiding activities which damage your hair.
1. Adequate Diet
Hair growth depends on an adequate diet. A widespread diet problem which causes loss of hair is iron deficiency Anaemia. The cause is too little iron in blood brought on by a diet containing too little meat, eggs, cereals or peas and beans. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also needed to provide vitamin C, which enables the body to absorb iron. Proper diet will provide the body with the ability to better replace the hair lost during the natural shedding process and will ensure the hair that grows will be strong.
2. Cutting the hair
Cutting the hair on a regular schedule is essential to it's well being. Over time the become exposed to different stressors which can cause damage to the tips of the hair shaft. This damage is known as "split ends". Left uncared for the split ends will continue up the hair shaft and eventually weaken the hair. Regular trimming of the hair removes the split ends and prevents the progression of the splits.
3. How we damage our hair
One of the greatest and most frequent activities that damage the hair is frequent shampooing. Hair has what is know as and acid mantle surrounding the cuticle. The mantle protects the hair and keeps natural moisture and oil inside the hair. Shampooing removes this mantle and exposes the hair to the environment. Unless you are using a quality salon shampoo and conditioner you will not be restoring the acidity of the hair. Inferior quality shampoos and conditioners do not address restoring the acid mantle.
The second most frequent activity which damages hair is the use of over the counter products to color or lighten hair. Although scalp hair is hardy and can withstand a lot of abuse, it can be damaged by too much or inexpertly applied perming, dyeing bleaching and massage. The amount of chemical service the hair can take varies from person to person. Occasionally the scalp is allergic to the dye and becomes inflamed and swollen.
Most people who bleach their own hair do so with hydrogen peroxide and then do not properly treat the hair after. If the peroxide is repeatedly applied, it may make the hair dry and brittle
