Get Your Hair Back By Using These Tips

Hair loss is a problem that effects both men and women throughout the world. Fixing this problem can be an issue if you do not know how to go about doing so. In the following article, you are going to be given crucial advice that will help you deal with hair loss.

A healthy diet is not only good for your body, but it is also good for your hair. Eating healthy foods ensures that your hair gets all of the vitamins and minerals that it needs. Often the body to shows poor health through the hair follicles and fingernails before it is shown in other parts of the body.

Do not use any hair loss medications until you have discussed it with your doctor. While some over-the-counter treatments are safe, others may not be. Also, if you suffer from any medical conditions your doctor may tell you which hair loss treatments are safe for you to use and which are not.

Make sure to brush or comb every day. This is of course normal to do in regards to being well groomed, however, by brushing every day you will stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles. With the increased blood flow you can expect cells in your scalp to be more active and thereby increase hair growth.

The most essential foods that you can put in your body for your hair are fruits. Fruits contain a plethora of beneficial nutrients and complement any meal during the day or night. Eat fruit to obtain a high dose of vitamin C, which helps with collagen formation for your hair.

In order to prevent your scalp from becoming dry when youre using a minoxidil product like Rogaine, make sure that youre using ample conditioner when you wash your hair. You need to keep your scalp moisturized. Having an excessively dry scalp may counteract the effectiveness of a product youre taking or using.

Although you may use a lot of hair spray and mousse products, you should avoid these if youre losing your hair. They can simply be too harsh on your scalp and can ultimately damage your hair follicles and cause your hair to fall out. Until you can strengthen your hair, avoid the harsh products.

Are you losing more and more hair each day? Are you fearing this hair loss will evolve into bald spots in the near future? One thing you can do to cut back on hair loss is the be more gentle with your hair when it is wet. Refrain from brushing or combing your hair roughly while it is wet. When wet hair roots are very weak and are prone to breakage.

Many people have reported that aloe vera has stopped their hair loss. You can rub Aloe Vera gel into your scalp each night before bed. This provides the scalp with stimulation and the aloe vera can make your hair stronger.

As was stated in the beginning of the article, hair loss is a problem that both genders have to deal with. Knowing what you can do to help fix hair loss is the only way you will get your hair back. Use these tips to get the hair you never knew you could have!

Saw Palmetto Hair Loss Review – Does Saw Palmetto Work For Hair Loss

Youve read Saw Palmetto can help Hair Loss... But is it Fact or Fiction? I found out...

Saw palmetto hair loss practices began many years ago in native America. But does saw palmetto work for hair loss today?

Well today it has become an established treatment for people that are suffering from problems with their prostate.

In fact in many parts of the world it is looked on as a reliable herbal remedy.

What about a cure for hair loss?

Well there have been no properly carried out clinical tests to prove that saw palmetto can indeed stop hair loss, or indeed help with regrowing your hair.

To date there have only ever been very small laboratory tests that suggest saw palmetto may be helpful with blocking DHT, the main cause of male and female pattern baldness.Only one such test has actually been documented.

It included a very small group men,10 in total, with either mild or moderate hair loss.The test showed positive results.

Saw palmetto was included amongst the botanical substances used to stop the enzyme alpaha 5-reductase from converting testosterone into dihidrotestosterone (DHT)

The result was that 6 out of the men that took the test...

“were rated as improved at the final visit.”

Saw Palmetto Side Effects – Hair Loss Side Effects With Saw Palmetto Capsules

The downside is there are saw palmetto side effects. 

Hair loss side effects from using saw palmetto include stomach pains, along with diarrhoea and constipation.

Not very nice. But it gets worse.

You might also experience feeling sick and vomiting. 

Having a foul breath has also been reported as a side effect of taking saw palmetto.

And if that frightens you, theres more.

Although these reports are a lot less common, you should also know about the problems with having an inflamed liver. Also trouble with the pancreas, turning jaundice, feeling dizzy, having headaches. Depression is included as well.

Insomnia has been reported with saw palmetto, and so has not being able to breathe properly.

Its also been associated with having sore muscles, causing you to develop high blood pressure, and getting chest pains.

There has even been heart abnormalities, problems with blood clots and things. Of course these reports may have come from patients that are on other medications as well.

Remember Saw palmetto isnt just taken for hair loss, its commonly used to treat prostate problems. So you dont know what else has been wrong with those patients that also happen to be taking saw palmetto.

It may not actually be the saw palmetto thats directly causing the problem.

Saw palmetto though has actually been associated directly with severe bleeding. So if youre taking anything that thins the blood, like a common aspirin for example you might want to be careful.

At this time of writing there remain two medications approved by the FDA and reliable for stabilising continued hair loss, and those are Propecia (Finasteride), and Minoxidil (the stuff thats in Regaine)

Free Online Hair loss Consultation With a Registered Doctor 

You need to be careful when youre buying medications online.

Yes you can save money, your local pharmacy has high expenses, thats why more and more people shop online nowadays. But you need to make sure youre dealing with a reputable company.

Nowadays there is no need to visit your local doctor to discuss your problem with hair loss. You can get a free online hair loss consultation with a doctor specializing in hair loss.

And from the comfort of your home you can get a prescription, and medications all in one place. Then just sit back and have them delivered to your door.

A better natural hair loss treatment than saw palmetto is Har Vokse. The supplements and treatment spray are completely drug free, and have absolutely no side effects whatsoever.

They claim to have regrown hair in 90% of people that have tried it. But is there in real proof?

Helpful Herbs Chamomile

Todays Helpful Herb: Chamomile

There are two common varieties of chamomile: German Chamomile and Roman Chamomile.  German Chamomile, Matriacaria chamomilla, is the most widely used, and is also known as Blue Chamomile.  Chamomile has been used for centuries for a number of applications, from a tea to help ease digestive problems, to a healing poultice for wounds. Its estimated that around the world, we drink over a million cups of chamomile tea a day!  But is chamomiles reputation as a helpful herb backed by science?  What are some of the proven benefits of chamomile?

 

Skin Benefits
Chamomile has long been used on skin to help heal wounds and soothe irritation.  And indeed, research has found it to be a helpful topical anti-inflammatory. It is thought that it inhibits the release of prostaglandin E(2) (an inflammatory hormone-like substance in the body), as well as certain enzyme activity that helps reduce inflammation in the skin.  One study looked at chamomiles healing effects on patients who had undergone dermabrasion of tattoos.  Chamomile significantly helped the patients wounds heal more quickly. Another study also found chamomile sped the healing of wounds faster than corticosteroid medicines.  Finally, a double-blind study found that topical application of Roman Chamomile helped heal eczema better than hydrocortisone cream.  

 

Anti-cancer

A compound in chamomile called apigenin has been studied for its effects on skin, prostate, breast and ovarian cancers, with promising results. Chamomile extracts containing apigenin were found to have an anti-estrogenic effect on breast cancer cells (thus, not stimulating their growth.) A recent study found that chamomile was toxic to cancer cells, but not healthy cells, and a standardized chamomile extract was found to help shrink prostate tumors in both lab and in animal studies.  

Heart Health

Chamomile is rich in flavonoids, which are thought to help reduce the risk of heart disease.  A five-year study of over 800 men aged 65-84 found that flavonoid intake "was significantly inversley associated with mortality from coronary heart disease."  In other words, the more flavonoids in their diet, the healthier they were.  

 

Digestive Health
Chamomile extracts have been studied and found to reduce stomach acid output and increase the secretion of mucin, a protective mucus lining in the stomach, thus helping to protect from gastric ulcers.  Researchers found this extract lowered stomach acid as effectively as a commercial antacid.  

 

Hormones
There are internet rumors that chamomile or chamomile essential oil is "estrogenic" and that women with estrogen dominance or other hormonal imbalances should avoid this herb. However, the opposite is true.  Chamomile has been found in numerous studies to be an anti-estrogen that helps prevent bone loss.

 

Blood pressure, General HealthChamomile has been found to help normalize blood pressure and promote general wellness.

"The health promoting benefits of chamomile was assessed in a study which involved fourteen volunteers who each drank five cups of the herbal tea daily for two consecutive weeks. Daily urine samples were taken and tested throughout the study, both before and after drinking chamomile tea. Drinking chamomile was associated with a significant increase in urinary levels of hippurate and glycine, which have been associated with increased antibacterial activity. In another study, chamomile relieved hypertensive symptoms and decreased the systolic blood pressure significantly, increasing urinary output."

Pregnancy
Traditionally, chamomile has been used to induce labor and many medical websites advise women to avoid it during pregnancy. Howevever, there are no studies that suggest that chamomile induces labor or causes miscarriages.  The science behind it would suggest otherwise, as chamomile has been found to reduce prostaglandin E2, a natural hormone-like substance that induces labor. So, if chamomile is indeed a labor-inducer, the function whereby is unknown.

What About Sunscreen

Even in the middle of Winter people ask me: what do you recommend for sunscreen? Now that theres a hint of Spring/Summer out there (even though it snowed here today!) Im sure Ill be asked the question more. So, I thought Id lay it all out here so you know exactly what I think about sunscreen.

In my opinion, most sunscreens can do more harm than good. Most of them are filled with synthetic fragrances, parabens, formaldehyde donors---ingredients youd find in common lotions. The biggest difference though, is the "active ingredient." These active ingredients are the components that keep your skin from burning in the sun for a period of time. The problem with these active ingredients is that when exposed to sun, they break down and create free-radicals on the skin. Now wait a minute---arent these the free radicals we all hear about that cause cancer? They sure are. So, even if youre not being visibly burned, your skin can get damaged invisibly from these chemicals. How does this happen? Instead of being a sunblock that reflects the suns rays, these particles absorb the suns energy. The energy has to be released from the particle somehow, so it breaks down and creates free-radicals (also referred to as "oxidative species") Lets take a look at a few "active ingredients" one by one. Ive listed a few examples of products that contain these chemicals, although there are many more products than listed.

Oxybenzone
Used in:
Neutrogena Skin Smoothing Body Lotion
Banana Boat UVA & UVB Sunscreen
Jason Naturals Sunscreen

Oxybenzone is one of the most commonly used SPF agents, and possibly the most damaging. According to the Environmental Working Groups Skin Deep website, a 2006 study showed that oxybenzone (aka benzophenone-3), "produces excess reactive oxygen species that can interfere with cellular signaling, cause mutations, lead to cell death and may be implicated in cardiovascular disease." Cellular mutations? Isnt that what causes cancer? Thats the fallacy of modern sunscreens today. We think were protecting ourselves with these chemicals, but they can be doing just as much, or even more harm than the sun. Oxybenzone is also known to be absorbed into the skin and the bloodstream, and can affect the endocrine system and hormone function in the body.

Phenol
Used in:
Blistex Lip Balm
Carmex Lip Balm

Phenol receives a risk of 10 on the EWG Skin Deep Database, the worst score an ingredient can get. It is banned in Canada and Japan, there is limited evidence that it is a carcinogen, it is known to be a reproductive and developmental toxin, and a wildlife pollutant.

Octinoxate (Octyl Methoxycinnamate)
Used in:
Alba Organics Sunscreens
Jason Naturals Sunscreen
Coppertone Sunblock
Aveeno Facial Sunblock

Often listed as "made from cinnamon" by the peddlers of "natural" products, Octinoxate is an endocrine disruptor, estrogen mimicker, a penetration enhancer, and "produces damaging reactive oxygen species upon exposure to sunlight."

Octocrylene
Used in:
LOreal Daily Face Moisturizer

Octocrylene is restricted in Japan because it creates free radicals on the skin when exposed to sunlight and is a penetration enhancer. One study says that "when octocrylene penetrates into the skin, the level of reactive oxygen species increases above that produced naturally under UV illumination." Another free-radical-forming chemical.

PABA (Octyl Dimethy PABA, PABA Ester)
Used in:
Aubrey Organics Natures Balance Unscented SPF Hand and Body Lotion

PABA has a long list of concerns. In the manufacturing process, it can be contaminated with nitrosamines, a group of dangerous carcinogenic chemicals. It too produces free radicals on the skin, and lab tests have shown it to cause cellular mutations. A penetration enhancer and a hormone distruptor, PABA has long been an ingredient to be avoided.

Nanoparticles
Used in:
Jason Naturals
Total Block Cotz Waterproof Sunblock

Nano Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are gaining popularity among the "safer" companies that make sunblock. Sometimes billed as "natural" or "mineral" these particles are anything but natural. Labs take the natural minerals of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide and put them under intense heat, light, and other processes that break down their natural structure to make them smaller particles. These nanoparticles are then absorbed into the skin and in to your body. You now have these little particles of metal in your bloodstream that your body doesnt know how to handle. Nanoparticles are a very recent invention and there has not been enough study done to find out the side effects of these unnatural particles. They too break down to create free-radicals in your skin. In their natural, non-nano form, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are my safer sunblock agents of choice. The most difficult thing is that companies dont usually disclose if theyre using nanoparticles. So, it could be listed as zinc oxide and we dont know if its "regular," "micronized," or "nano." Micronized is smaller than natural and larger than nano. Most companies claim that micronized particles are not absorbed into the skin.

The Safer Choice: Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. Zinc Oxide especially is a great sunblock agent. It gives you both UVA and UVB protection. This is the old-fashioned zinc oxide you see in old surfing movies---the white pasty stuff. Yes, its not as convenient, and its not as fashionable, but its the safest and gives you the best protection. One thing to consider when using a zinc oxide sunblock is to apply it frequently. Zinc oxide is a powerful anti-inflammatory, so its going to soothe your skin. So much, in fact, that you could be sunburned and not know it. After your day in the sun, you go in and rinse off the zinc oxide and you could be deeply burned. This is why I always recommend to apply it every hour to make sure youve got adequate protection, even if you feel like youre not getting burnt.

Im still looking for a product with non-micronized zinc oxide for my personal use and recommendation. As soon as I find it Ill be sure to post it. If any of you know of any sunblocks that fall under these guidelines of safety or have any product suggestions, be sure to post your comments below. We are currently developing a sunscreen with zinc oxide, as well as some other choices, and well keep you informed of them as they come out.

Theres always another more organic option: a wide-brimmed hat!

What do you think? Would you rather use the less-fashionable white sunblock for safetys sake, or would you take your chances with nanoparticles?

Update:
Badger Balm and Mexitan use micronized particles instead of nanoparticles. They claim that the particles are not absorbed into the skin. So far, these two products are the safest that Ive seen. Thanks to Monica for the tip!

High Strength Minoxidil Unique To The Belgravia Centre

One of the many things that makes The Belgravia Centre unique in its hair loss treatment approach is the fact that we offer a high strength minoxidil formulation for more stubborn patches of hair loss. Exclusive to The Belgravia Centre, the high strength creams are available to both our male and female clients. Below, we take a look at why they give such great results.

The creams contain 10% or 12.5% minoxidil, along with 5% azelaic acid. The minoxodil is a vasodilator, which means that it dilates blood vessels around the hair follicles, meaning more blood carrying essential nutrients reaches the roots of your hair, keeping it healthy and encouraging growth. However, other vasodilators do not have the same effect, leading scientists to wonder whether minoxidils role in activating potassium channels in the cells could also lead to growth.

Whilst were unsure of exactly what minoxidil does, our many hair loss success stories with before and during treatment photos are testament to the fact that it has a consistently high success rate in treating hair loss, and of course, the fact that its licensed by the MHRA also means that many clinical trials have been undertaken to ensure its effectiveness.

But what makes the higher strength solutions different? Apart from the obvious fact that they contain a higher concentration of minoxodil, and as a result treat hair loss that lower strengths cannot, it also contains the ingredient azelaic acid. This inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which when combined with testosterone creates dihydrotestosterone, a hormone responsible for damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting growth.

If youre a male patient, you can use this formulation alongside Propecia, another DHT blocker. For women, we may prescribe the high strength cream alongside a minoxidil liquid formulation. The medications are part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which often includes regular check-ups at our clinic and one or more treatment boosters to help keep your hair in its best possible condition. 

So, if youve tried off the shelf hair loss medication to no avail, theres no need to despair. Give us a call on 0800 077 6666 or message us to arrange a free consultation, and well compile a tailored treatment plan which can potentially contain the high strength minoxidil cream if our hair loss specialist deems it appropriate for your diagnosis.

HAIR LOSS PREVENTION – HOW TO SAVE YOUR HAIR NOW

The biggest step towards prevention is awareness? What is the answer for how to prevent hair loss?  For many people hair loss prevention is simple, A Health diet, Where you get all of the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals is usually the easiest way to ensure healthy hair and prevent hair loss.  Protein, vitamin B, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Iron, sulfur and zinc are all nutrients that help promote good health, including hair and skin health.  You hair starts out under your skin as bulb and a root.  And it happily grows and grows.  You will see cycle of growth – a long phase, followed by a short phase, and then a short resting phase.  The later is where come hair will naturally all out and new hairs start all over again.

Don’t rub your hair. Many women just do not realize the long term effect of continuously styling your hair tightly.  Some choose tightly styled hair, especially for young girls, to ensure that the hair style will stay in place and remain neat looking throughout the day or week. When you dry your hair you should be sure you don’t do it too hard.  Rubbing your hair too hard can make it come out easier.  You should also avoid using a blow dryer. If you do use one, make sure you use it on low heat.

 To reduce the risk of traction alopecia, consider changing out hairstyles on a regular basis.  For relaxed hair, the safest way to avoid braiding, avoid weaves that sew in directly to your hair and avoid microbraid extensions.  The benefit of not having to style every day is not worth the cost and emotional trauma of preventable hair loss.

On the other hand, when other parts o your body are stressed, whether due to illness, hormonal changes, hypothyroidism or more, energy is diverted from your hair growth cycle to other parts of your body in need.  And the hair loss cycle increases.

If you are sick, don’t ignore caring or yourself.  If you don’t take the steps recommended by your doctor, you may damage your body permanently.  While your body is spending it is energy on healing you, it won’t be able to put the time into keeping your hair growing.

Not all hair products are healthy to your hair.  Make a careful selection o any products that you will be applying to your hair, so that you avoid harmful ingredients.  Some products can hinder hair growth, or cause unrepairable damage.  Use products you know you can research to check out if they are harmful or not.

 Fish is high in Vitamin A and many of the Bs, as well as essential fatly acid, omega 3 all required for healthy hair.

Minimize added salt and ensure plenty of vitamin C in your diet.  Red bell peppers contain more natural vitamin C than oranges.

To summarize, there are many types of hair lossthat can be prevented if we stop the underlining condition.  It is important to find out what is causing it in each particular case and take the necessary actions to prevent further loss and possibly promote growth.  A reasonable and clinically proven method for hair growth is associated with Vitamin supplements including iron and zinc.  One thing to keep in mind is to always have good hygiene, keep a healthy lifestyle, take necessary supplements, and try to live stress free.

Sincerely,
Stephanie, Stevie "B," and the Bubble and Bee crew

Vincents Kartheisers Unfortunate Hairline

While many fans are sad to know that the cast of Mad Men is wrapping up filming on the final season, but cast member Vincent Kartheiser probably has at least one good reason to look forward to giving up the role of Pete Campbell - his hairline! 

The actor, 34, has had to shave his hairline to help his character age, and when asked recently about the prospect of getting his hairline back, he simply replied, "It doesnt bother me, one way or the other." And quickly clarified that his real hairline isnt receding, at least not yet! "Most of my friends were like, Dude, dont do that, it might never come back in! But luckily I have a good head of hair."

While 34 might seem young to experience hair loss, 30 percent of men will face some degree of hair loss in the 30s, and the risk increases as they age. Now that Vincent has had a chance to live with a receding hairline, hopefully it inspires him to take good care of his hair and start preventative treatments early!

Tricolopure Review – Dont Buy Tricolopure Until Youve Seen This Review!

Read This Tricolopure Review Now Before You Spend Anything

This Tricolopure review will give you a heads up on the latest hair loss treatments, so that you will feel sure youre not going to waste any money.

Tricolopure claim their hair loss product contains everything you need to have a great head of hair.

All the essentials seem to be there, like vitamins, and minerals you need for strong hair. And the all important amino acids that your hair follicles need to grow properly.

And more importantly stop you from losing any more of your precious hair.

Does Tricolopure Work? – Is There Any Proof That Tricolopure Works?

But does Tricolopure work? You would need a fully documented double blind case study to know if a treatment works or not.

There has been no actual double blind case study conducted to see whether Tricolopure actually works on real people.

They mention on their website that the formula is medically backed by Doctors, and celebrities. But when I looked deeper I noticed they admit their formula is based on the results of a competitors double blind test, and not Tricolopure.

Tricolopure Ingredients Are Similar to Har Vokse Ingredients

The Tricolopure ingredients are very similar to Har Vokses ingredients. A company that does have a fully documented double blind case study.

Where a group of sixty people all suffering from common hair loss were tested. Half of them were given the Har Vokse hair growth treatments, and half were given a fake placebo.

If your looking for a hair supplement, then it seems Tricolopure would be a very good choice. It also contains the Marine proteins, and polysaccharides that Har Vokse say are part of the reason they are so successful at regrowing lost hair.

But if you need to stop losing hair, and regrow thicker hair, you need to know that the incredible results gained by the Har Vokse medical study were using not just the supplements, but by applying the cleansing treatment spray at the same time.

Tricolopure are supplements, and that is all you will get if you order them.

Har Vokse is a dual treatment that heals from the inside and the outside at the same time. Doubling your chances of new hair growth.

So all in all, Tricolopure has all the right vitamins, and ingredients you need to strengthen and feed your existing hair. But I would only use it as a supplement.

The Tricolopure price is on a par with what youll pay for the Har Vokse treatments, but with Har Vokse your getting much more for your money.

Plus they have real documented results, medically tested on real people, and not copied from a competitor.

Which is probably why they are able to offer you a 60 day money back returns policy. Read this Har Vokse review for more information.



Whaddya Think

So, were working on this new program. Its a club where you get new and exciting Bubble and Bee products delivered to your door on the same day every month. What we want to know is: what do you want? Would you like a soap of the month? Bath Salt? Lotion Bar? Lip Balm? All of the above? A surprise bag?

Click here to let us know what you think. Fill it out and youll get a promo code good for a free lip balm with any order!

How to Make Hair Grow Why Clogged Hair Follicle on Scalp Thins Your Hair Remedies

Why Clogged Hair Follicles Thin Your Hair and Remedies to Stop Hair Loss 

A heads up on how to make hair grow…

The longer you let clogged follicles thin your hair, the harder it will be to fix.

The fact that your on this page means that youve done your research, and now youre taking action to remedy the problem.

Treatment For Clogged Hair Follicles Causing Hair Loss

Clogged hair follicles causing hair loss is treatable.

If you’ve been watching in horror as your hair just seems to be getting thinner, and thinner, it’s time to stop worrying and start doing something about it.

When you understand the process of hair loss, it means you can recognize what’s happening, and take the necessary steps to counteract the problem. Here is what you can do to stop your hair from thinning, and hold on to your shiny thick hair.

Looking after your hair is important, if you want to keep it looking good, and prevent any thinning or loss. So here are some remedies to stop your hair from thinning that you can put into action right away.

How to Stop Shrinking Hair Follicles And Regrow Your Hair

Heres how to stop shrinking hair follicles before its gone too far.

When you begin losing your hair, it’s usually caused by 3 main factors.

* Your hair follicles are gradually becoming clogged and stopping hair from getting out

* Your hair isn’t getting the necessary nutrients for healthy strong hair

* There isn’t enough blood circulating around your scalp, so that it can feed these nutrients to your hair

So lets start with the first 2 factors.

Stop DHT Naturally Regrow Hair And Fix Clogged hair follicles

Stop DHT naturally, regrow hair by fixing clogged hair follicles.

In a similar way to acne, your hair follicles can get clogged. With acne a clogged follicle causes sebum along with bacteria getting trapped within, which causes infection, and the end result is you have a pimple.

Your skin forms a surface over the infection.

A similar thing happens with a clogged hair follicle on your scalp. The hair from that follicle gets trapped and is unable to get through. Eventually your scalp will get smooth and form a shiny surface you often see in bald men.

It makes perfect sense then, if you want to prevent any further thinning is to stop your follicles from getting clogged. Once you understand what makes your follicle get clogged you can take remedial action.

Stop Follicle Miniaturization - This is the Process that Causes your Follicles to get Clogged

Stop follicle miniaturization process. This is what happens:

* A chemical reaction in your blood that produces too much testosterone, which is then converted to DHT and this is what clogs up your follicles.

* When you use products like shampoos and conditioners, and then add to that styling gels there is a build up of unnatural chemicals that stick to your scalp, then get trapped inside your follicles

* With the release of sebum, this mixes with any dry skin, or flakes and forms a hard surface clogging up your follicles

How to Stop DHT at The Root of The Follicle to Stop Hair Loss

What happens when DHT builds up on your follicles?

It’s now common knowledge in the hair loss industry that too much testosterone converting to DHT is what clogs the follicles.

With this knowledge you can use a soothing hair treatment spray like Har Vokse to arrest the hair loss and open up your pores for thick shiny hair to get through.

Along with the Har Vokse spray are anti hair loss supplements that heal from the inside. They are also packed with all the vital vitamins and nutrients needed for healthy hair growth.


Harsh shampoos and conditioners

The majority of these  products are made with harsh chemicals, additives, and things that can strip any goodness from your hair. Only buy quality shampoos with a low PH, or simply use gentle baby products. If it’s safe for a baby it will be safe for you.

Look for all natural products that are more herbal than chemical, it’s not just your follicles you need to look out for. Harmful chemicals can seep into your blood, which in turn gets carried to your liver.

Sebum Plug Hair Loss Treatment Releasing And Mixing With Dry Skin

Whether you have oily or dry hair, too much sebum will mix with any dirt available, and will cling to dry skin cells, and any residue left over from products. You need a good sebum plug hair loss treatment.

Using  Har Vokse treatment spray stops the sebum from mixing with dry skin cells, and any other residue, therefore avoiding clogged follicles, and keeping your pores open for healthy growth.

These simple steps for how to make your hair grow will go a long way to preventing your hair from thinning any more.

Ok it may be depressing when you see your beautiful locks disappear down the drain hole, but apparently these young men had no previous issues with depression. Leaving the drug Propecia as the obvious suspect.

So how can Har Vokse be so successful without having to ply your body with dangerous chemicals for the ret of your life?

And a scalp nourishing treatment spray that you can apply once in the morning, and once before you go to your bed. It’s that easy.

So how does the treatment work?

The key ingredient is a hair growing protein found in fish. The discovery was made by scientists in Norway, that when combined with potent vitamins and amino acids (already known to promote healthy hair growth) the results were spectacular.

Simply being deficient in vitamin b complex for example could cause your hair to get weak and stop regenerating. Or it could be you are deficient in protein.

Since your hair cells are made up of protein, it’s vital for your hair to feed on that nutrient. Your body feeds your vital organs first as a priority. If you’re deficient in anything there is little chance that it will be sent to strengthen you hair.

That makes sense right? Since you don’t need your hair to survive do you?

The Har Vokse supplements feed the roots of your hair while at the same time protecting them from the damaging DHT hormone that causes male and female pattern baldness.

Postpartum Hair Loss

Postpartum Hair Loss — What It Is

Hair loss after pregnancy is the sudden shedding (sometimes in clumps) that many new mothers experience between three and six months after they give birth.

Postpartum Hair Loss — What Causes It

Normally, the average head loses 100 hairs a day — but not all at once, so you dont notice them. Your pregnancy hormones keep those hairs from falling out (which is why your hair looks as lush as a supermodels, or is so thick you can barely get a brush through it). But all good things must come to an end, and that includes your awesome new do. When those hormones drop back to normal, the extra hairs drop, too.

Postpartum Hair Loss — What You Need to Know

Dont freak: Youre not going bald, youre just getting back to normal. If yourebreastfeeding, some of your extra hair may hang on to your scalp until you wean or start to supplement with formula or solids. But nursing or not, take comfort in knowing that by the time your baby is ready to blow out the candles on that first birthday cake (and has a full head of hair of his or her own, possibly), your catch-up hair loss will be finished, and your locks should be back to normal, too.

Postpartum Hair Loss — What You Can Do About It

Keep your hair healthy by eating well and taking a prenatal vitamin supplement.

Be Extra gentle during your shedding season to prevent excess hair loss after pregnancy.

Shampoo only when necessary and use a good conditioner and a wide toothed comb a minimize tangling 

Skip blow dryers and curling and flat irons if you can and put off any chemically based treatments until the shedding stops.

  

Postpartum hair loss is very common. In most cases once the shedding ceases the hair volume will only be slightly thinner than pre-pregnancy hair volume. When postpartum hair loss becomes severe and long-lasting other factors such as nutritional deficiencies or other imbalances may be involved.

The burning sensation you are feeling on your scalp is sometimes referred to as "burning scalp syndrome." The technical names for this condition are trichodynia or scalp dysesthesia. Hair loss is often associated with this condition. There is very little conclusive information on this subject. 

Scalp massage may help reduce the tightness and make your scalp more pliable. When you place your fingers on your scalp make sure you are actually moving your scalp rather than just moving your fingers on your scalp. Using a cooling and nourishing oil such as coconut oil may provide more relief.  Adding a drop or two of a cooling essential oil such as lavender or peppermint may also help. If the scalp is tight, blood flow will be restricted. The hair follicles are nourished through blood supply. If the follicles are not properly nourished healthy hair growth will be inhibited. 

Once a woman’s hormones return to normal levels, generally within six months, her hair will begin to grow back normally.  In the meantime, here are a few tips to help you manage.

  - Invest in fun and pretty hats and scarves.

  - Consider a new hair cut – shorter if possible to take the eye away from any balding spots.

  - Keep your hair conditioned and moisturized – dry, brittle hair tends to break off.

  - Do brush your hair to stimulate your scalp and hair growth but don’t yank it through your hair.

  - Do not over wash or process your hair – It damages hair and will cause more hair loss.

So we know what is causing the hair to grow in so quickly, why exactly is it falling out?

Chances are, if your are experience a great loss during the pregnancy itself you could be lacking important vitamins/minerals.  You may be able to get to the bottom of this by consulting with your physician or a dietitian. 

We all know that when we are growing a baby that our body need more of all the good things in life, and losing your hair could be just the warning you need to alert you that you are lacking on one area or another.  Now, after your baby is born, you will experience a sudden drop in many of the hormones in your body.  This amounts for the surprising loss of hair that begins.  Don’t despair too much, it is just your hormones trying to adjust and get back in sync with your body.

What Can go Wrong When Dying Your Hair Problems

Anyone who has tried to dye their hair at home knows that sometimes, the results can be unexpected.

Well, that "sometimes" is a very gentle way to put it. So what can go wrong with dying your hair at home? There are many things that can go wrong when you dye your hair, and all end up giving you something very different than what you dreamed.

Lets look at some of the problematic results with the most common of  colours and examine their possible causes. In the following cases, we assume that you followed the instructions correctly both for mixing and application and colouring process, so that the problems have not been caused by your mistake.

Colour does not take Problem:

Ok, you’re just finished washing your hair to take away the rest of what youre dyeing and drying using a hair drier to check the results. You may notice that something has gone wrong just starting to rinse your hair. As hair dries, the problem is obvious: the colour does not show.

Possible causes: The hair is obviously resistant to chemicals. If your hair is gray or having great natural pigmentation, might have low porosity, which makes it less likely to absorb moisture and, therefore, is less likely to penetrate into each dyeing hair to deposit colour.

If your hair has been treated with stains (especially with products like henna) or if youve dealt with some other product to increase the brightness (for example, gloss enhancers), it may contain a layer that covering and sealing it, so that impedes the penetration of other chemicals.

Henna is one of the most common culprits. It is an oil-based colouring that covers the hair follicle and is able to cause many problems for you or your stylist in the future when you want to get an application or permanent colour.

Solution: For low porosity, and resistant hair, the best solution is a softener (keratin). Search your beauty salon product with softening agents or apply a volume 10 developer for 10-20 minutes before you re-dye your hair.

Developer Rinse with water to remove hair and make it dry enough to reapply the colour accurately. This should allow better penetration of the dye in the hair follicle and give you a better result. In the case of henna or other colour treatments impeding the penetration of colour, you need to take steps to remove the annoying sealer you d applied previously.

When it comes to henna, you can use alcohol and mineral oil to remove and remove the henna enough to improve results. If this is another sealant, look in the product packaging or read the manufacturers instructions to find a solution to the problem.

My colour is uneven - mottled Problem:

Youve finished the application of colour and, for now, all is normal. When you finish drying your hair, however, you notice your new hair colour is uneven and appears mottled in some areas.

Possible causes: The most likely candidate is a build up of hair product in your hair. If you are using too many hair products daily, that can cause an accumulation occurrences in the hair that will not go away with a simple wash, especially if you use a mild shampoo.

The build up causes colour preparation to not penetrate hair at certain points along each hair, which can cause the colour to be uneven.

Solution: If youre the type of person who uses many different hair products, or use hair products all day combined with heat treatments (and arranged hair with additional products throughout the day), you should always use a clarifying shampoo to completely remove hair product build up and residue before submitting your hair colouring treatment.

Thus, your hair will absorb the colour evenly and the resulting colour is distributed evenly, and so will look like you want.

Oh, my Goodness, I look GREEN!" Problem:

You started to dry your hair after applying colouration and you realize that the colour is not what you had planned. In fact, there are many reflections of a colour you find completely appalling that are starting to show with drying.

Possible Causes: Sometimes, even if you make the best effort possible,  you can select a colour that is not compatible with your current colour. Either because of too similar pigments or because the pigments are combined giving a final result that’s objectionable (for example, a gold base [yellow] naturally combined with a bluish tint base [ash tone] which gives a greenish result).

These unfortunate results often happen when you try to make subtle changes in your hair colour. If you don’t know what colour base youve used previously, you may choose a new dye base with a  non-complementary colour.

Solutions: The good news is that all the errors of the colours, apart from the most drastic, can solved with a simple colour correction.

This is usually the point when women who prefer the "do it yourself"  approach to dying their hair go running to the hairdressers in Livingston. The stylist will simply sit on a chair, observe the result of coloration and choose a colour that can neutralize unwanted tones.

Usually mix colour corrector includes a developer weakness with a conditioner to prevent further damage to the hair than necessary. The true colour result will depend on the actual colour shade you dislike:

For green hues, use a red colour base, to orange hues, use a blue colour baseuse a violet colour base, and vice versa.

But it wasn‘t so dark on the box! Problem:

Youve started to notice that something is wrong halfway along the colour application process. The hair seems awfully dark.

Then you confirm it: After application of colour, rinsing and drying, the hair color is fine, but is MUCH darker than you expected.

Possible causes: This usually occurs with semi colorations. A person uses a colour wanting to intensify the natural colour a shade or two, not knowing what colour applications have cumulative effects.

The process is similar to a mixture of instant coffee: The more coffee you add, the darker it becomes.

Solution: You can apply a preparation for lightening the colour, or the next time, use a lighter shade of semi-permanent colour to prevent the hair going too dark.

Many kits have colour photos in its box where it says what the recommended base colour shades that are available.

It shows the basic colours and colour results that will be obtained after applying the product. Always remember that if your base colour is darker than the one shown on the box, you get a darker colour if you use a semi-permanent colour.

Here we have presented the most common problems related to colour applications, the probable causes of each of them and their respective solutions to correct and prevent errors.

Wondering what can go wrong when dying your hair does not have to be a daunting task, but you have to know what can go wrong and you have to consider how other hair care products and can affect the final result.

Once you understand these basics, it will be much easier to get the desired colour (or at least know why it’s not possible to get the colour you want.

For total piece of mind make an appointment with a professional hairdresser in Livingston.
