Hair Loss Problem And Cure


Every day, every one of us looses some hair. Our body then replaces it with some new strands as part of the many renewal processes that are built into our body systems. As we all age, 'the reappearance of new hair' event gradually slows down. This observable fact is more evident in men than women, whose 'male-pattern baldness is genetically determined and can begin as early as age 20. For women, hair normally thins after age 50, and considerable hair loss before that age is very rare. 

General problems of hair loss: Dandruff, Graying of hair, loosing hair, brittle hair and slow growth of hair are some of the common hair problems that people complain about. Though most of these problems are natural signs of aging or part of our genetic makeup, there are some simple preventative measures and home remedies that may help some of these hair complaints.
Facts about Hair:

Typically, hair grows an average of an inch every two months. 

The average head can shed up to 100 of its 100,000 hairs every day. 

Indication of hair loss:

Hair Loss generally is noticed in one of two-ways. 

With common pattern baldness, the loss is gradual. It can start as early as puberty, or very late in life. 

Sudden loss of hair, or loss in clumps usually indicates a different problem. This type of symptom could be caused by a number of factors, including hormonal changes, medications, thyroid problems, among others. 

Male pattern baldness typically starts by causing the hairline to recede in the center of the forehead. A bald spot may then form on the top of the head, towards the back and center. Eventually almost all the hair on the top of the head will be lost. This leaves the hair on the sides and back forming the notorious horseshoe pattern. By this stage, hair loss will be very difficult to treat with medications. A hair transplant may be a good option at this point, though they can be expensive. 

Female pattern baldness results in a more evenly spread out thinning of hair. Women will notice an increased rate of hair loss. This will most likely be noticed on pillows, in the shower, hairbrushes, or even vacuum brushes. It is impossible to count the number of hairs being lost per day, but women will notice the thinning and loss of hair around the same time. Some women who have curly or thick hair may not notice the change as early. Skin and hair color also determine how easily the thinning is noticed. Someone who has light hair and dark skin will notice balding much sooner than most. 

Self-care remedy tips for hair loss:

Massage the scalp with 2-3 drops of essential oil or a good vegetable oil. Massage well into the scalp so that the oil gets into deep roots of hair. Wrap the hair in plastic wrap and place a warm towel around it. Leave it for 2 to three hours or overnight. Shampoo the hair with a mild shampoo. Practicing this at regular basis would help your hair pores get rejuvenated. 

Eat a handful of white sesame seeds every morning. One handful of these small seeds contains about 1,200 mg. of calcium and magnesium to ignite the required nourishments of your scalp not to loose hair. 

Take some yogurt everyday (unless you are allergic to milk). 

Rinse hair with a mix of apple cider vinegar tea to help hair grow. 

Mix little warmer castor and almond oil and massage over scalp at least once a week. 

Grind lime seeds and black pepper in equal number in some water and apply on the scalp at regular intervals. 

Scrub the bald portion with onions till it becomes red. Then applying honey, scrub the scalp once a day. 

Massage almond oil on scalp 2 to 3 times a day. Further hair loss will stop by doing this practice. 

Massage coconut milk or Aloe Vera gel into the scalp and hair. Leave it for ½ hour, and then rinse with warm water. Repeat 3 times a week. 

Massage honey with egg yolk into the scalp and hair. Leave for a 1/2 hour, then rinse to prevent hair loss. 

Cause of hair problems:

The cause of hair loss is most commonly related to male gender, hormonal changes and genetics. Medications can be another reason for the hair loss.

Temporary hair loss can occur in conjunction with a high fever, a severe illness, thyroid disorders, iron deficiency, general anesthesia, drug treatments, hormonal imbalance, or extreme stress, and in women following childbirth. In these conditions, a large number of hair follicles suddenly go into a resting phase, causing hair to thin noticeably

General tips to take care of hair from loss:

Eating a balanced, healthy diet is important for a lot of reasons, and it really benefits your hair. And don't forget to treat your hair well. For example, some doctors recommend using baby shampoo, shampooing no more than once a day, and lathering gently. 

Don't rub your hair too vigorously with a towel, either. Many hair experts suggest you consider putting away the blow dryer and air-drying your hair instead. If you can't live without your blow dryer, try using it on a low heat setting. 

Style your hair when it's dry or damp. Styling your hair while it's wet can cause it to stretch and break. And try to avoid teasing your hair, which can also cause damage. Finally, be careful when using chemicals - such as straightness or color  on your hair.

Make A Face Scrub


Make A Face Scrub

Why pay for the thing that you can make yourself and at a lower overall cost? When there’s an option of making up a scrub for yourself at home, do you still think that you would go to the shop and buy a costly scrub, just because it’s got a brand name to it?
Homemade scrubs are cheaper, works good and are literally easier to make. Just 15-20 minutes of sweating behind the aim will get you what you need. While making the scrub at home, you’d probably need a good amount of sugar, as it repairs the skin as well as smoothen it.

Ways To Make A Face Scrub

Pomegranate Seeds Scrub

Apart from being greatly tasty and healthy fruits, the seeds of the Pomegranate can also be used to make a scrub for our skin. Fortunately, the season of this fruit starts in September and ends around January. This is exactly the time when our skin gets rough and needs care. Here’s what you need:
Pomegranate seeds (fresh) – 2 tbsp; Olive oil – 3 tbsp; brown sugar (packed) – 3 tbsp; Honey – 1 tbsp.

Take up a small bowl and pour the sugar, honey and olive oil; in sequence. Go on mixing this mixture until it becomes a smooth paste. If, while mixing, you feel that it’s coming out dry, you should add more oil; if it is quite the contrary, you should add more sugar. Now, add the fresh seeds and gently stir. Do not put in too many seeds. Congratulations! You have your Pomegranate seeds scrub.

Oatmeal Scrub

This is a more common option for many people as they might already have tried it. Prepare a little amount of lukewarm water. Ground a considerable amount of oatmeal (any) and add to the warm water. Mix them together till they form a thick paste.
Application should be controlled with circular movements and massaged on the forehead. After keeping it for some time, wash away the remnants with warm water. We advise you to apply this everyday, at least for two weeks.

Many women know about this and might have tried it; differently maybe. Take one teaspoon of rice, half a spoon of olive oil and two tablespoons of cottage cheese. Mix these together and if needed take the help of a little amount of warm water. Gently massage the outcome mixture on your face and keep for some time (15-20 minutes), before washing away with warm water and then with cold/normal water.

Coffee Scrub

Are you a coffee addict? If yes, then this might just make you drool. Prepare a little bit of coffee, drink first and keep the remnant coffee bits. Now apply these moist coffee bits to your moist face by massaging. Before doing this, make sure that your skin is clear.
Keep for a few minutes and then wash off with warm water. At the rear part, freshen up with cold water. Hope you have what you needed and these scrubs will satisfy the needs.

LOW FAT TANDOORI CHICKEN
