Hair washing
Men take regular head bath, but women cannot
since they keep their hair long. However everyday over scalp
secretes Sebum and Sweat and they are embedded with dust particles,
a part of pollution. Many avoid, due to, the tendency to catch
cold which drag them into Sinusitis. No excuse! Take head
bath regularly to get rid of scalp excretions and dust particles.
Women can have hair wash thrice in a week. Your cold problem
can be better remedied with Homoeopathic medicines.
Next… How to wash? Natural shampooing
with herbal powders are good. Homeopathically Arnica Shampoo
is popular. Conditioners and other ingredients may help your
hair to feel softer and look shinier, but frequent use would
cause the hair shaft to swell and damage the cuticle. An ideal
shampoo is neither highly acidic nor alkaline which keeps
the PH between 4.5 - 5.5. Simple way is to dilute with 50%
water and wash.
Next question comes…Whether Cold
water or Hot water? Don’t use water, which is neither
too cold nor very hot. Use water at room temperature as, this
is very natural! Tepid water is fine. Do not use blow dryers
to dry your hair. Stand beneath fan or leave it for sometime
while you engage with some other works.
Hairdressing:
Vigorous brushing is more likely to injure
the hairs. Comb it with wide toothed part initially, then
with narrow tooth to avoid traction. Hair dyes, Perms and
Hairsprays do not affect thinning hair because hair is a dead
tissue, however long-term use would make your hair to lose
its lustrous and would shake if it penetrates your hair follicle.
Oiling:
Many do not apply oils to their hair, even years together.
How it is? Naturally the Sebum secretion is more which nourishes
their hair naturally. Many have dry hair, which needs oiling
to nourish externally. Moisturized hair will keeps not only
lustrous look, but also prevents the effects of heat and cold.
Plain coconut oil is preferable. Apply oil at bedtime and
wash it off the next day to give fantastic look.
General measures:
- About 90% of the hair follicles of the scalp
are growing phase and only about 10% are in the resting
phase. The growing phase” Anagen” varies from
4-8 years to determine length of individual’s hair.
Remember 30-50 hairs we lose each day. Even though new hairs
will be replaced by the hair follicle, in abnormal conditions
hair fall rate is higher than normal levels. In premature
baldness the shrunken hair follicles shed short and thin
hairs.
- Add Milk, Egg, Meat, Greens, Dates, Gingily
and Jaggery in your food; they are rich in Lenoleic acid,
Iron, Calcium and Selenium to fertilize the Hair follicles.
Carrot, Beetroots and Curry leaves, will prevent premature
graying. A recent study shows Colloidal minerals prevent
Premature graying. These minerals have been processed only
through a plant. Apple and Banana contains all Colloidal
minerals.
- Limit the intake of coffee, tea, alcohol,
and other fluids that increase water loss.
- Reducing your stress levels might cut production
of Androgens and Slow Hair loss and baldness. Make yourself
easy, calm and relaxed.
- Take care of your general health, which
is vital to all!
