Plus, onions can help control issues like dandruff and scalp infections as well as reverse premature greying. A small study published in the Journal of Dermatology in 2002 found that participants suffering from alopecia areata who applied onion juice to their scalp twice daily for 2 months had a significantly higher rate of hair regrowth than those in the control group who used tap water. The results were better among males than females. The following recipe will also promote smooth and shiny hair due to the addition of honey. Honey is loaded with antioxidants and attracts moisture.

    Strategies On How To Prevent Hair Loss https://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/strategies-on-how-to-prevent-hair-loss/ Wed, 17 Jun 2020 13:19:30 +0000 http://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/?p=725 [...]]]> When you are facing thinning hair, this is especially true. With the right information, you can grow your hair back! Read the tips listed below.

    Eat white sesame seeds to help slow the loss of hair. Every morning, try to eat a handful of white sesame seeds. These seeds contain large quantities of magnesium and calcium. Magnesium and calcium have been shown to help reduce the loss of hair and actually nourish your scalp.

    Liquid saw palmetto is a great remedy for men who are losing their hair. Saw palmetto extract will lower the levels of DHT, the male hormone that is believed to cause loss of hair. All you need to do is get the juice from the fruit, you can squeeze it or even use a juicer, and put some in your hair.

    Certain anti-depressant medications can aggravate the loss of hair problems. The ingredients within the prescription can cause your hair to fall out. If you can, speak to your physician about changing medications to determine whether a new medicine can stop loss of hair.

    Talk to you doctor about symptoms and treatment options. You should always speak with your doctor before starting any treatment and rule out underlying health problems that may be causing the hair loss. There could be several causes of hair thinning, from a medical condition to stress. So do the right thing and speak with a professional.

    These remedies are not very effective in slowing or preventing hair loss, and if you believe otherwise, you are sure to be disappointed. Some of these products may in fact work. Many do. However you could also be wasting both your time and your money.

    Be careful that you do not ruin your clothing and bed sheets when using hair treatments. If your head will be laying on anything you want to keep, make sure it is dry first.

    Give your hair enough time to grow out and become thicker before the next cut. Cutting your hair too often can end up weakening your hair.

    Regularly massaging your scalp can work wonders in preventing the loss of hair and promotion the growth of new hair. For best results when you massage your scalp, use a mineral oil to lubricate and soften the skin.

    Believe it or not, meditation is a good relaxation technique that is effective in treating thinning hair. Stress causes the blood vessels in your scalp to constrict, which can lead to hair loss. Meditation facilitates blood flow to the scalp by relaxing the body.

    Try to alleviate some of the stress you receive from outside sources. The more you subject yourself to stress, the greater the chance that you will have hair loss. Stress also accelerates any premature balding that you are genetically inclined to, preventing treatments from being successful.

    B12 can be found in many different sources. You can find B12 in supplements or by simply eating more meat, like chicken and beef.

    One place to look when trying to find the cause of excessive blading is the components of your daily diet. An unbalanced diet, such as you get with fast food and meals that are high in carbohydrates, could lead to having unhealthy hair. Add foods that are low in fat and high in protein, and make sure you get plenty of vegetables to keep your whole body healthy.

    To stop loss of hair due to a vegetarian diet, soy and iodine levels should be monitored. Thyroid imbalances can occur from consuming too much soy, a symptom of which is hair loss.

    Ingesting spicier foods will boost overall circulation and protect your hair. Capsicum is found in cayenne pepper, and it can strengthen hair follicles, and stimulate hair growth. Cayenne peppers are also great sources of vitamin A, a vitamin which helps maintain overall health and reduces the risk of hair problems.

    It is always best to have a professional color your hair, instead of doing it yourself. Also be certain that you ask your hairdresser to use foils, rather than doing on overall dye. You should not allow the dye to touch your scalp because it can cause damage to the scalp and to the hair follicles. This will make thinning hair more likely.

    Your goal for overcoming thinning hair should be to get back that head of hair that you used to have. It might not be possible in one day, but if you follow these tips, you have good chances of re-growing your hair.

    Top 5 Best Braided Hair Extensions Hairstyles https://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/top-5-best-braided-hair-extensions-hairstyles/ Wed, 17 Jun 2020 13:18:36 +0000 http://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/?p=721 [...]]]> Check out our top five favourite braided hair extensions hairstyles with video tutorials for a step by step approach.

    Braided hair extensions are a great way to add length, artistic expression and finesse to your look. Now you can achieve some of the hottest looks from our top 10 list below.

    #1 Fish Tail Braided Hair Style

    This Fish Tail Braided hair extensions look is our absolute favourite look. It’s ideal for hair styles that already have sew in extensions, weave or netted weave.

    This style can easily be recreated in just minutes. Start by taking a rattail comb and sectioning off the part on the top of the head. Your sectioning should line up just at the highest point in your eyebrow arch. Separate the remaining hair with a clip to keep it out of the way. Then take your top section and create a Goddess braid so that it follows the hair line and comes down behind the left ear. Pin the tail of the Goddess braid tucked under some hair. Gather the remaining hair you sectioned off and create a low fish tail braid. Close the end of the fish tail with a hair band that matches the hair color. For finishing touches you can wrap a braided hair extension piece around the band to conceal the band.

    #2 Afrelle Braided Hair Extensions

    We love this look because it not only incorporated a unique look to it by featuring colored extensions that were lighter than the models hair within the braids, but we also loved how soft the braids look as a finished style.

    #3 Goddess Braids

    Goddess braids use hair extension pieces in order to create very thick braids. Goddess braided hair extensions hairstyles are very popular with little girls because they can request fun colors in the braids such as pink or purple pieces. But Goddess braids are not only for little girls, many adult females love the simplicity of this hair style and many celebrities; such as Ciara adore Goddess Braids.

    Goddess Braids have also appeared on many Caucasian celebrities such as Ashlee Simpson-Pete.

    #4 Micro Braids With Hair Extensions

    Micro braids are little braids that are very small and feature a multitude of them throughout the head. Micro braids do not always need hair extensions but by using hair extensions it makes things easier for the braiding process and it also helps to add more length and volume to the hair braids. Micro braids are typically done by professional hair stylists but often women will either do it themselves or have a friend to it for them.

    Before micro braiding it is very important that your hair is very healthy and deeply conditioned. It is even recommended to perform a hot oil treatment prior to having your hair braided.

    Micro braids are not just for black women, many Caucasian women and men enjoy having micro braids.

    #5 Box Braids With Curly Hair Extensions

    Box braids are extremely popular for little girls. You don’t see them on adults very often and we cant understand why when they can really make a hair style look classy in an up-do fashion.

    Here is another example of braided hair extensions using the box braid method.

    Treat Your Hair Loss With The Only FDA Approved Medication https://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/treat-your-hair-loss-with-the-only-fda-approved-medication/ Wed, 17 Jun 2020 13:11:51 +0000 http://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/?p=713 [...]]]> The best available FDA approved and over the counter medication for baldness in men or women comes in the form of an anti-hypertension (high blood pressure) medication. Minoxidil solution or its foam which has been accidentally discovered is the utopia for all people experiencing male pattern baldness. During its testing for FDA approval, it has been observed that the subjects were showing unexpected hair growth. As of the time of the writing of this article, Minoxidil is the only FDA approved product that is used for treating androgenic hair loss. It should be noted that this is not used for baldness at the front of the scalp or receding hairline in men. The product is available as a foam or solution to also stimulate hair growth in women with thinning hair.

    It is available under the below popular brand names in the US:

    • Hair Regrowth Treatment Men [OTC]
    • Minoxidil for Men [OTC]
    • Rogaine Mens Extra Strength [OTC]
    • Rogaine Mens [OTC]
    • Rogaine Womens [OTC]

    Minoxidil belongs to a class of drugs known as vasodilators which is used to treat hypertension or blood pressure. Though the exact mechanism of working of minoxidil is yet to be understood, it has been successfully used for treatment of baldness since the early 90s. It is hypothesized that the medication works by dilating the blood vessels and opening channels for potassium assimilation, thus allowing more oxygen, nutrients and blood to be available, which is yet to be established.

    It’s very effective promoting hair re-growth in men & women with male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. About 40% of men experience hair regrowth after 3–6 months. The other shortcoming of this treatment is that Minoxidil may have to be used for a longer time to support and maintain the hair follicles that have regrown by application on Minoxidil. Its effectiveness in subjects with spot baldness or bald patches (alopecia areata) is unclear.

    Most people tolerate Minoxidil, but some of the side effects are irritation or burning of the eye (due to careless handling when applying the solution to the head), common skin affectations viz. redness or irritation or itching at the applied area, unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body (again by careless handling of the medication – You would not want larger and dense eyebrows instead of thick hair on the scalp!). Temporary hair loss is a common side effect of minoxidil treatment. When any of the above symptoms are experienced it is better to discontinue the medication immediately and contact the doctor on the way forward.

    Minoxidil has been shown to be ineffective for sudden and unexplained loss of hair or hair loss after pregnancy. It is advised not to use the product till the person is over 18 years old and stop using the product for people over 65 years.

    What to eat for healthy hair? https://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/what-to-eat-for-healthy-hair/ Fri, 12 Jun 2020 13:25:09 +0000 http://www.healthandwellnessprogram.us/?p=445 [...]]]> Hair plays an important role in creating an overall personality. They not only add to the beauty but are also responsible for an outward sign of our inside health.

    And of course, who don’t want to flaunt those luscious, lustrous, healthy, beautiful long locks. On an average, the growth of hairs is half an inch per month. Genetic factors play a great part in determining the hair quality but general health also has an important role in the growth and texture of hairs.

    Proper hair care and a healthy diet help in encouraging the growth of hairs. Before we get into the details of specific nutrients required for healthy hairs, let’s have a quick look on some the interesting facts related to hair.

    Some fascinating facts about hairs

    1. Every hair is attached on to the scalp, via follicle.
    2. Hair follicle ranges from 100,000 and 350,000 on the human
    3. On an average of 1000 days (3 years) each follicle grows its hair and the growth rests for a period of around 100 days i.e. nearly three months. Once the time period is attained hair sheds and new growth begins.
    4. Hair is nothing but protein. Hair protein is called as keratin. Nails and some other protective layer of skin are also made up of keratin.

    Hair is made up of three layers

    1. Cuticle – The outer, protective layer.
    2. Cortex – They contain the pigment melanin (responsible for distinctive hair color).
    3. Medulla- It is the inner most layer which reflects the light.

    Did you know?
    On an average, people with redheads have the lest hair and blondes have highest.
    Here is the list of nutrients, if taken in a correct balance will help your hair to remain shiny, lustrous and strong.

    • Protein- As hairs are made up of protein, ensure that you consume enough protein in your diet. Protein makes the hair stronger and healthy. Deficiency of protein in the diet makes your hair dry, brittle and weak at last resulting in hair fall.
      Sources: Choose diet rich in protein content. For the best source of protein, you can consume eggs, turkey, fist, lentils, soy product.
    • Iron- Iron is one important mineral for overall health. In terms of hair growth and hair health iron has a distinctive role to play. Deficiency disease of iron “anemia” results in great hair fall, Hair roots and follicles are fed by nutrients provided by your body and if iron level is lowering down in the blood it causes anemia, in such condition, the hold of a follicle on scalp loosens resulting in hair fall.
      Sources: Meat like Liver, Oyster, Chicken, turkey are a good source of iron. For those consuming only vegetarian diets, try to include vegetables like spinach, sweet potato, broccoli and peas in your menu. Legumes like lentils, kidney beans, chick pea, soya bean are also good in iron content.
    • Vitamin C– The antioxidant, Vitamin C is responsible for the absorption of Iron in our body. If Vitamin C is consumed in conjunction with iron rich food it will be beneficial for hair growth. The collagen produced with the help of vitamin C helps in strengthening the capillaries of hair shaft making them strong.
      Sources: citrus fruits like oranges, Kiwi fruit, grape fruit, guava, blue berries, broccoli.
    • Omega 3 fatty acid- Omega 3 are good fats, our body is unable to make by itself. The essential level of omega 3 can be obtained only through consuming it in our diet. Omega 3 are present in the cells which line on to the scalp. They provide the oil and moisture to the scalp for hydration of hair. Sources: Fatty fishes like salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines etc.
    • Vitamin E- Just like your skin vitamin E also protects your hairs. Good content of vitamin E in your diet helps in forming a protective layer on to the skin and hairs, which prevents hair from direct sun rays, dust and dirt.
      Sources: Nuts are the best source of vitamin E, Selenium and Zinc

    A complete check over these nutrients in your diet, along with proper care and hygiene will help you to maintain your hair taller and healthier.
