Hair Growth Remedies At Home

Justin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 01:00:46 +0000

It is fascinating that so many of us try to remove hair from our bodies and that is well and good. But, there are others of us, who desperately want to grow hair and go to great measures to try to make it happen. There are several Hair Growth Remedies you can do at home with simple ingredients and care.

One thing to do is stop washing your hair too often. Yes, yes, the arguments have been made and unless you are in a manure fight every day, there is no need to wash your head so much. Shampoo has a tendency to strip our scalps of necessary oils which help to condition and strengthen our manes. If you can stand it, only wash about every two to three days.

Hair needs to be pampered, just like your skin. When you wash hair and tangle it into a big wad on top of your head, while shampooing, this does nothing but make your hair a mangled mess. When cleansing the hair, spread a minimal amount of shampoo, with water, from your scalp down to the ends of the strands. Squeeze this through your locks and this is sufficient to cleanse your hair completely. Rinse as usual.

Something you may do before washing your cranium, is take a mixture of one egg yolk, two tablespoons olive oil, and one tablespoon of beer (yes, any beer is fine), and mix this all together in a bowl. Apply this concoction from the top of the head to the ends of the hair, and let it sit for about fifteen minutes. You can rinse it out and shampoo as you usually would.

One other very good home recipe is to take half an avocado and mash it well in a bowl. Once you have finished that, take about half a cup of mayonnaise and mix it well with the avocado. When you are through, take some in your palm, rub your hands together, and work this completely through. Leave this in for about fifteen or twenty minutes and then rinse and shampoo as usual.

Some of these recipes will probably not smell good to you. But, they will only be on your head for a little while and once your hair is cleansed, the smell will only be a memory.

Doctors Differ on Why Hair Is Gone Tomorrow

Justin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:21:21 +0000

Santa Fe cosmetologist Janice Meidam believes that heredity is only a part of the cause of the most common type of hair loss, male pattern baldness. The hair stylist at West San Francisco Street salon D.F.W. Bodhisattva says she has found that poor nutrition, stress and inferior hair products greatly speed genetically determined loss of hair in men and women (see accompanying story). However, some Santa Fe doctors sharply disagree.

While acknowledging the role of stress and nutrition in certain unusual types of hair loss, two local dermatologists maintain that male pattern baldness is a function of genetic makeup alone. However, one Santa Fe general physician says lifestyle definitely contributes to the onset and severity of hair loss in men.

“The most common type of hair loss, male pattern baldness, has to do with male sex hormones and the

heredity,” said dermatologist Thomas Holmes. All people men and women both ultimately lose their hair if they live long enough, he added. However, he said, women do not generally experience hair loss until after menopause, when they are no longer protected by the Itdinme hormone estrogen.

But it is the younger man contemplating his rapidly receding hairline who provides the moat ready market! for hair-loss treatments. “Usually nutritionists and people who claim to have magic potions are targeting this group of people,” Holmes said. However, he added, dermatologists think that there is “probably no strong relationship” between male pattern baldness and lifestyle, or specifically stress and nutrition.

Holmes, however, emphasized that there are many other types of hair loss, some of which are caused by stress in the form of illness or even pregnancy. And, of course, chemotherapy treatment of cancer patients is a direct cause of sometimes-total hair loss, although the hair usually grows back when the chemotherapy is discontinued.

Dr. Norman Kaczmarek, also a dermatologist, agreed that stress and nutrition can cause temporary hair loss in some cases, but do not necessarily figure in male pattern baldness.

Acute stress causes hair loss, Kaczmarek said. “Generally it is manifested three months after stressful instances, such as a heart attack, a child running away or childbirth,” he commented. He added that hair lost to sudden stress generally grows back.

He also said that crash dieting and certain strict vegetarian diets can cause hair loss. But he added that he could not say whether “chronic, low grade stress” would speed up loss of hair in male pat- tern baldness.

“Basically, it’s genetically predetermined,” he said. “In male pattern baldness some teen-agers start losing their hair, and most men and women will lose their hair if they are old enough.” He added that male pattern baldness is inherited from either side of the family. “You only need it from one side,” he said.

Both Kaczmarek and Holmes said they were aware of the high-blood-pressure medicine Minoxidil that is said to promote hair growth and is being studied by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in correcting baldness. They added that they were interested in watching its progress.

“It’s between 8 and 40 percent effective, depending on which study you read,” said Kaczmarek. “It would involve a liquid applied to the person’s scalp daily for six months just to find out if it works.” If it did provide beneficial results, a person would have to use it for the rest of his or her life, and the cost could run between $500 and $700 a year, he said.

While Kaczmarek suggested that Minoxidil may one day be a remedy for male pattern baldness in some people, he could not say that stress and nutrition have a significant effect on commonplace hair loss in men. “I don’t think I can say yes or no,” he commented. Dr. Willard Dean, a medical doctor whoi also practices natural medicine, disagrees with Kaczmarek and Holmes on the role of nutrition and stress in male pattern baldness. According to him, those factors can indeed be significant. “Male pattern baldness is genetically predetermined, but there is a lot that can be done to minimize or even reverse what that predisposition could be,” Dean said. “Given a certain genetic predisposition, people have a lot of leeway.”

Dean described how he sees the role of stress and nutrition in hair growth. At its roots in the scalp, hair is alive and is dependent on the flow of blood to the scalp for oxygen and nutrients, he said. Blood that lacks in nutrients will affect the quality of hair growth.

“Stress,” he continued, “impacts on the hair because it depletes the blood of certain nutrients that are necessary for cell growth and reproduction. Baldness is the lack of hair cells that can reproduce,” he noted, adding that stress definitely plays a role in hair loss, even in male pattern baldness.

However, stress is not the only cause of nutrient deficient blood, he said. Environmental factors such as poor soil, pesticides and other pollutants in air and water, and even synthetic fabrics can deplete the system of necessary vitamins and minerals.

“My feeling is that even someone with an optimal diet needs supplements,” Dean said. He added that the B vitamins, particularly pantothenic acid and PABA, or para-aminobenzoic acid, are beneficial to hair growth. He also recommended Vitamin C. and said that calcium and magnesium are known to help stress although “their direct contribution to healthy hair is not significant.” While Dean does not dispute the role of heredity in baldness, he thinks that by paying close attention to health and diet people can retard or even reverse what may have once seemed to be inevitable. “It’s like a card game,” he said. “We’re dealt a hand, but how we play the hand is up to us.”

The Three Faces of Hair

Justin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:23:49 +0000

Meidam explained that all hair on the head is in one of three phases of growth, with 80 percent of the hair actually growing from the follicles, 10 percent no longer growing, and the last 10 percent in the process of falling out the hair collected in hairbrushes or in shower drains. It is normal, she said, for a person to lose about 100 hairs a day. However, in the case of male pattern baldness, Meidam said, the activity of certain male hormones causes the hair to enter the last phase early, with the result that more than 10 percent of hair is being shed. This also happens in women after menopause, when certain male hormones normally present in women have an effect on the hair. It is Meidam’s belief, however, that the whole process of male pattern baldness need not occur as soon as it often does in a person’s life, and she believes, she says, that proper nutrition, minimal stress and good haircare products are the key to retarding hair loss. It has been well documented, she said, that hair loss can occur suddenly after a stressful incident, such as a severe fright. But it is not as wellknown that the more commonplace stresses of life also can cause hair to fall out, ever so gradually. And that is the kind of loss she seeks to prevent. For example, she said, if a man, say one in his 20s or 30s, comes to her with a receding hairline, and tells her that he expects to be bald one day because his father and grandfather both lost most of their hair, she will ask him about his own life and about his forebears. She may find that he is unhappy with his job or his marriage. And furthermore, she said, she may discover that his father served in World War II and endured shelling and Bombing, and that the grandfather was in World War I and lived through the horrors of frontline fighting in that war. Genetics, she suggested, may have little to do with the young man’s thinning hair. He may, instead, simply be the third generation in his family to undergo some kind of severe stress.
