Hair Loss

Hair is a growth consisting of dead cells that are filled with a protein called keratin. Each hair is encased and nourished by a follicle buried under the skin. Loss or absence of hair, also known as Alopecia is a hereditary and unavoidable condition. In some people it can be a side effect of medication, a dietary deficiency or hormonal imbalance. You can help reduce the effects of hair loss from stress, trauma, shock or illness by increasing your intake of Vitamin C which is found in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits and juices, parsley, broccoli, green peppers and black currants. Lack of iron can also cause hair loss especially among women who have not reached menopause.

To keep your hair healthy:

· Take a vitamin B complex everyday.

· Increase your intake of protein found in meat, fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, soy products, cheese, milk and eggs.

· Try blend bananas with honey, yogurt and low-fat milk.

· Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc, and saw palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from natural food sources.

· Invert your head while you shampoo & massage your scalp. This helps promote blood circulation to the head.

· Eliminate stress.

· Get enough sleep.

· Massage the scalp with rosemary essential oil, Flaxseed oil or Almond oil to stimulate scalp circulation.

Dandruff

Dandruff is a mild inflammation of the scalp that causes skin flaking. These flakes are often extremely visible on the hair and often fall on the shoulder showing a high visibility of the problem. Dandruff can be also due to nutritional deficiencies. To prevent dandruff, it is recommended to consume adequate amounts of Vitamins B6, B12, Flaxseed oil, Zinc, and Selenium in your diet. A lot of anti-dandruff shampoos contain Zinc and seems to be good at clearing the problem. A Zinc supplement taken daily is excellent for the skin and hair.

To aid the dandruff problem try to:

· Use an anti-dandruff shampoo that contains Tea tree oil, Salicylic acid, Sulfur and Zinc.

· Massage your scalp with some table salt and Flaxseed oil to remove dandruff then shampoo.

· Avoid eating foods with preservatives or any other additives.

· After washing your hair, massage your scalp with half a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and leave it on, don’t rinse it off. Continue for a week

· Boil 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of dried thyme for 5 minutes allow to cool, then strain. Next, massage the mixture onto hair and scalp. Leave it on after shampooing, don’t rinse off.
