Women Hair Loss Tips – Your Awareness to prevent it permanently









































Women are used to their hair clogging drains and laying wispy blankets on the bathroom floor. But when your ponytail starts to look startlingly skinny or you're showing more scalp than you'd like, it can be worth seeking help for a common but often neglected problem:female pattern baldness.



Hair loss also can be a sign of a hormone disorder, such as polycystic ovary syndrome or a thyroid imbalance, and it's a symptom of many illnesses, from anemia to syphilis, but those usually are also accompanied by other symptoms.



Though hair loss isn't usually a sign of a serious health problem, it can be psychologically devastating.



Losing Hair can be stabilized 80 percent of the time with treatment like boosting estrogen, such as by taking estrogen-dominant birth control pills, or blocking testosterone, such as by taking medicines containing finasteride (Propecia) or spironolactone (Aldactone).



Other people turn to minoxidil (Rogaine), a nonhormonal topical solution that can stimulate hair growth.



A new treatment is to add a bit of estrogen to a minoxidil formulation, though there's not yet solid evidence that it works, Reed said.



Exercise regularly and eat enough protein to keep your hormones in balance.



Recommends supplements like, zinc, iron, B vitamins and 5,000 micrograms daily of biotin (vitamin B7), which is known to strengthen hair and nails.



Wash your hair at least every other day; otherwise, you could shed scalp and inflame the hair follicles.

Chemotherapy Side Effects – During Ovarian Cancer Cures




















(1) Feeling exhausted. Fatigue is a common side effect for ovarian cancer patients, but it doesn't have to keep you in bed. Just don't try to do as much as you used to; ask for and accept help from others. Frequent naps, a healthy diet, and regular exercise can also really boost your energy levels.

(2) Feeling sick to your stomach. Chemotherapy can cause you to feel nauseated and throw up. A number of very effective drugs are available to help control this, so talk to your doctor if you experience nausea. Eating small meals and light foods also can help.

(3) Bowel irregularities. Chemotherapy may cause women with ovarian cancer to have constipation or diarrhea. Diet can play a big role: Keep yours healthy and balanced, and regulate your fiber intake according to your symptoms. Increase your fiber intake if you are constipated; avoid high-fiber foods if you have diarrhea.

(4) Bleeding and anemia. Bleeding and easy bruising are common side effects during chemo, so protect you. Don't use anything or do anything that could cause you to injure yourself — no razors, tampons, or even dental floss. Avoid any activities in which you could get bruised or scraped.

(5) Mouth sores. If you have mouth sores, avoid eating or drinking anything acidic, spicy, or alcoholic. Stick to soft foods, keep your mouth moist with water, and use a lip moisturizer.

You can also rinse your mouth with a salt water or baking soda solution to make mouth sores less painful. Or ask your doctor to prescribe special, soothing mouth rinses to coat or numb the sores to make it easier to eat.


(6) Besides losing hair on your head, you could lose hair elsewhere, including your lashes and brows. Try learning some makeup tips to draw your brows back on. You can cover your head with a wig, a scarf wrap, or a stylish hat.

Baldness Treatments Natural Cures – Nuts and Fried Breakfast in Morning




















(1) To brush hard can scratch the scalp and pull the hair out at the root, ­ damaging the hair follicle. It’s important to treat the scalp gently when shampooing, and never tug at your hair with a brush or comb.

(2) Dandruff, eczema or dermatitis (characterized by an itchy, flaky scalp) are linked to hair loss; they trigger ­inflammation, which has an adverse effect on hair follicles.

(3) Hair is composed of keratin, which gives it its strength. Too ­little protein (red meat, fish, eggs, chicken) affects keratin levels; your hair will lose its strength and stop growing. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for boosting your hair follicles.

(4) Petroleum-based styling waxes can block hair follicles and cause them to stop growing. Stick to water-based products.

(5) Having an excess of male ­hormones may not sound like a bad thing, but testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can have an adverse effect on certain parts of the hair follicle.

(6) A lack of dietary iron can also lead to hair loss. If you don’t have enough iron, your levels of ferritin drop (this is a molecule that stores iron in the body and releases it in a ­controlled way).

This in turn disrupts the normal hair growth cycle and increases hair shedding. Eating foods rich in iron, such as red meat, dark green vegetables, nuts and dried fruits, will help reduce this excess hair shedding.


(7) Frequent coloring of the hair — either an all over dye or highlights — can lead to hair loss. Using significant amounts of bleach (found in nearly all hair lightening products) can strip it of its natural moisture, leading to dry, brittle hair that breaks easily.

(8) Smoking can make your hair fall out as may also damage blood supply to the hair follicle. The free radicals produced from smoking and environmental ­factors such as pollution could also affect hair follicles, leading to hair loss.

Hair Loss Cures Treatment News - Stem Cell cure for Bald Pates

Berlin Technical University Researchers in Germany have grown the worlds first artificial hair follicles from stem cells which were created from animal cells and were somewhat thinner than normal, but the teams were optimistic they could grow human hairs from stem cells within a year.

As per Roland Lauster Interviews, said that, within five years millions of could grow new hair from their own stem cells and have it implanted in their hair-loss sufferersbald spots.

Stem cells are the body's master cells. When manipulated in a lab they can be grown into any tissue in the human body from blood to bone and even whole organs.

Current treatments for baldness include hair plugs where stronger hair follicles from the side and back of the head are transplanted to the bald spots.

However, the treatment takes five to 10 hours and would need to be performed repeatedly to create a natural appearance.

He said that, "Since 1950 the number of new chemicals used in cosmetics has risen 500-fold, and so has the need for animals to be experimented upon to ensure they are safe for humans. This could well do away with the need for them to suffer."

Hair Care Tips for Healthy Hair during Vacation Enjoyment

Sea water

Sea water is filled with salt and minerals, which is very good for our face and skin, but very harmful for our hair.

Sea water makes hair look dull because salt crystals damage hair scales and they start bristle up. Salt draws out moisture from hair, dries hair out and makes it fragile, messes it up. To avoid it apply protection cosmetics from sun lines for hair.

Apply it very generously so that it will be enough to cover every hair. Gels and oils cover hair, sleek hair scales, prevent salt from getting inside. Many of such protection cosmetics have sparkles that provide your hair with healthy glow.

In the evening, after swimming do a moisturizing procedure for hair.

It will be especially good for dry hair. Mix your daytime protecting product with hair mask and apply to dry hair, then wear a shower hat. Wait for 2-3 minutes, then shampoo your hair and apply the mixture again on wet hair. Wait for 5-10 minutes. You will be pleased by the result.

Pool

Water in pools usually does not contain salt, but it contains something even worse - chlorine. During your vacation chlorinated water will reduce to zero your colorist's hard work.

Light color hair will become greenish, maroon - reddish-vinous.

To protect your hair from chlorine use same protection hair products from sun lines, be sure that the product has 'anti-chlorine' note on it.

You can also use rubber hat to protect hair from chlorine. When you are back from pool rinse your hair with warm water and shampoo it with product from hair sun line. Such shampoos contain anti-chlorine components and also wash away sand and salt good. If your blond hair became greenish use this simple tip - apply a mixture of cleansing face mask with kaolin (white clay) and wash it away in 15 minutes, then generously apply hair conditioner. Your blond will be as good as new.

Tap water

Water that run from taps in Asian and African countries is far from European Standarts. Especially water is bad in Turkey, India and Egypt. Tap water there is hard, contains a lot of lime and not properly cleaned. It is dangerous not only for drinking but also for cleaning face and brushing teeth.

Of course no one will bring their own water to vacation, but i highly recommend to buy water from local shops or get it from hotel restaurants and use it for cleaning face, brushing teeth and rinsing hair.

Sun

It is common knowledge that hair fade in the sun. It happens because ultraviolet breaks proteins and lipids structure, damages hair pigments.

Do not go out without a hat. It will be even better to additionally apply sun protection product on hair and refresh it before each swim. Some of sun protection products protect your hair not only from sun but also from chlorine and salt.

Dryness

Dry air increases evaporation from face, body and of course hair. The situation is getting worse because of conditions at night, which you just cannot say no to because of crazy heat. Hair dryers, poor diet (especially alcohol), sun, salt and chlorine are not helping either. All these factors make our hair ends look lifeless, dull, whitish, change color, split and break.

You can protect hair ends with special creams that you don't need to wash off. Such products will smooth hair scales, protect from water getting inside, moisturize hair. It will be best to apply such product several times a day followed by a sun screen spray, as light creams for hair ends do not contain sun screen. Special night products for hair will help you to protect hair at night.

Products for night moisturize, repair, smooth hair give hair shine and healthy look. If you color your hair and you want to keep the color and hair quality long do not neglect protecting and caring hair products.

Humidity

If you have your vacation in a country with humid climate, your hair will most probably suffer from curling and loss of volume. What to do? Don't panic. First - take with you products for curly hair, they contain polymers that make curls more elastic and thick.

Second - learn how to do basic simple summer hairdos. For instance, get hair away from the face and fix on back of the head, also you can tease a little bit hair near face and fix them with beautiful hairpin. Try to twist your hair in plaits and fix them on back on head with hairpins. If you have curly hair, make a side parting and make a low bun. Fix one or two fresh flowers in your hair - no one will ever understand you made this hairdo yourself. You can find more simple hair styles on my site in hair-do category.

Heat

Loosing hair in 30 degrees heat is the same as putting a wool scarf on your neck. To feel good in heat, learn to do simple summer hairdos like pony tails, buns and twists. You can find more simple hair styles on my site in hairdos category. Before departure, go to hair salon and ask a stylist do a fantasy braid, something interesting and not very easy. Such hairdo can last up to four days and you will be totally comfortable wearing it. Just do not forget sun spray. After you will have to loosen,it go to a local hair salon and try what they can offer you. But no cuts and coloring - you do not want to risk your hair.

Food

Spicy food can increase sebaceous excretions, which is bad news for face, but good news for hair as sun dries hair out. Be careful trying local food because if you get food poisoning it can lead to loss of hair. As well as changing climate, often swimming and sun bathing. If it happened to you, treat your hair when you get home - eat vitamins and use hair repairing products.

If you follow all the recommendations in this post and the one above then you will find yourself with one bag with clothes and one bag full of cosmetics. I recommend to join hands with your girls and split the bottles. Also you can put the products you need in little bottles special for traveling.
