Determing Which is the Best Hair Loss Product

best hair loss products
Hair Loss Products
You have probably asked yourself time and time again, what is the best hair loss product available?  That question was asked on a Google answers site, and the experts answer?  They stated that there is no answer to that question.  

They are correct in that there is no general answer to that question, but there is an answer to the alternative question, “What is the best hair loss product for me?”  It’s still not an easy question to answer though, and you’ll probably need to find the answer via good old-fashioned trial and error methods.

Home Remedies

There are many kinds of home remedies for hair loss.  I’m pretty sure some of them can be disregarded — like rubbing cow manure on your head — but some of them probably do help some people.  Here are a few of the more promising home remedies for hair loss:

-  Rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar and sage tea.
-  A variety of oils have been used—almond oil, castor oil, olive oil, and amla oil.  Usually the oil is warmed,    which will at least feel good and make your hair shiny.  
- Applying coconut milk or aloe vera gel to your scalp.
- Applying a masque of honey and egg yolk to your hair and scalp.

All of these concoctions should be washed out (except the apple cider and sage tea rinse) after use.

Hair Care Products

The best hair loss product for you could be as simple as a good shampoo or conditioner.  Some people swear by Nizoral shampoo, and say it puts an end to hair loss.  Some people love Mane and Tail shampoo and conditioner, because it makes their hair look and feel fuller and thicker.  Your hairdresser may have some suggestions about hair care products that help you with your hair loss.

Herbal Remedies

Some people believe that the best hair loss product is an herbal remedy.  There are a number of herbal lotions and potions as well as nutritional supplements specially formulated to treat hair loss.  An herbalist may be able to recommend the best products for your particular type of hair loss.  Here are a few herbal remedies that seem to help:

- Ginko biloba
- Green tea
- A Chinese herb called “he shou wu”
- Pygeum
- Aloe vera
- Saw palmetto
- Stinging nettle

Some of these are taken in pill form and some are made into preparations that you rub onto your scalp.  Some (like, for instance, stinging nettles) can cause a reaction, so use all herbal preparations with care.

Minoxidil (Rogain®)

A lot of people consider that this is the best hair loss product.  It’s available without a prescription at any pharmacy, and it works for a lot of people.  Minoxidil helps both men and women to grow more hair.  Remember, though, that as soon as you quit taking minoxidil, your hair will start to fall out again.

Prescription Medications

A prescription medication, such as Propecia, could be the ideal hair loss product for you.  You need to see the doctor to get it, but that’s a good thing, because she will conduct a check-up to see if there is some underlying cause to your hair loss that can be taken care of permanently.

Wigs, Rugs and Weaves

It could turn to be that the best hair loss product for you is a cover up of some kind.  This is especially true when the hair loss is temporary, such as when your hair falls out while undergoing chemotherapy.  

There are a lot of options available to you to treat hair loss, but only you can decide which is the best hair loss product for you.  Test a few things, and when you find something that works for you, stick with it.  It may not work for everybody, but the important thing here is that you will have found the best hair loss product for you.

Hair Loss and Supplements

Hair Loss and Supplements

Causes for hair loss can run the gamut from genetics, medical treatments like chemotherapy, skin eczema or allergies, excessive stress, poor nutrition, hormonal changes like menopause and "andropause", under-active thyroid, immune disorders to trichotillomania, a psychological disorder in which people are compelled to pull out their hair. A study in England has also shown a direct connection between smoking and hair loss. It also showed that smokers were 4 times more likely to have gray hair than non-smokers.

Some conditions can be treated medically through drugs like minoxidil and corticosteroids. Others might require something more drastic, like follicular hair transplant, a form of surgical hair restoration that does provide lasting benefits. The cost, however, can be prohibitive.

But for us normal folks in our 30's, 40's, even 50's, who are just starting to notice our thinning hair, what preventative measures or supplementation can we take to minimize hair loss?

Because healthy hair is dependent on the health of the scalp (hair requires a plentiful supply of nutrient-rich blood to nourish the hair follicles in the scalp) it makes sense that eating nutritionally balanced meals will promote healthy follicles and healthy hair growth. In a recent interview, Dr. Shari Lieberman Ph.D CNS, a nutrition scientist and exercise physiologist at the University of Bridgeport, CT, claims that crash diets have been responsible for many cases of hair loss: "I'm seeing a lot of women not eating enough protein. A lot of them are eating vegetables; they're eating carbs. They've really gone off a lot of protein and sometimes I'll see hair loss in women for that."

There is no doubt that a daily diet rich in protein, good carbs and essential fats is important for hair health. Hair is very sensitive to vitamin or mineral imbalances in the body. A flaky scalp can be caused by too little vitamin A; however, too much vitamin A can also bring about hair loss. Supplements, when taken on a consistent basis, at the average or standard dosage suggested below or at a dosage recommended by your physician, can be a strong deterrent to premature hair loss. Consider the following:

a) Evening Primrose Oil and Flaxseed Oil. Both of these are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for strong, healthy hair. Evening primrose oil contains a special fat called gamma-linolenic acid( GLA) which the body converts to hormonelike compounds called prostaglandins. The GLA in evening primrose oil is directly converted to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins which are effective against eczema and skin allergies. Taking evening primrose oil (1000mg 3 times a day) will prevent hair loss that is caused by excess flaking and shedding of skin on the scalp.

b) Flaxseed Oil (14 g a day) provides substances called lignans which may help fight cancer, bacteria, viruses and fungi. Flaxseed oil boosts the health of hair and nail and speeds the healing of scalp lesions that may contribute to hair loss. A recent study involving 10 men between the ages of 20 and 70 in varying stages of male pattern baldness ( AGA) showed that 8 of the subjects reported modest improvement of their hair loss condition, one reported much improvement and one subject reported no effect. Throughout the study, the daily numbers of hair loss decreased and 50 percent of the subjects noticed a decrease in oil secretion in their scalp.

c) Zinc (30mg) can boost thyroid function and reduce hair loss that comes from an underactive thyroid. Zinc must be taken with its companion Copper (2 mg a day) in order to maintain proper mineral balance in the body. Copper also contains melanin, the pigment that colors hair and skin and can help reverse or delay premature graying. Zinc can also affect the levels of androgens, the hormones involved in some form of genetic hair loss.

d) Biotin (1000 mcg a day) and Vitamin B-50 Complex (1 tablet twice a day) can also reduce the oiliness and flakiness of the scalp and strengthen the condition of the hair.

Other preventative procedures could include a weekly scalp massage to stimulate blood flow and reduce stress which can contribute to hair loss, wearing a hat to protect hair and scalp from sun damage and avoiding abrasive hair treatment like permanents or coloring.

Why Plugged Hair Follicles Thin Your Hair and What You Can Do

Hair Follicle

Losing your hair to where it thins or you become bald does not have to happen.  Just by understanding why your hair falls out and thins allows you to take counter measures.  Discover what counter measures you need to take to keep your hair full, thick, or from thinning.

There are various ways to keep your hair clean, shiny, and thick.  If you still have hair and want to keep it or if your hair is starting to thin out, here are some hair remedies that you can use.

When your hair starts to thin down, three of the reasons are:

   *  Your hair follicles are slowly becoming plug and preventing hair from growing out

   *   Your hair is not receiving the nutrients it needs to grow and stay strong

   *  Your hair is not getting enough blood circulating in your scalp

I will cover only the first of the two items. 

Plugged Hair Follicles 

Just like acne, your hair follicles can become plugged.  In acne a plug follicle results in sebum and bacteria becoming trapped in the follicle, which leads to an infection known as a pimple.

When a hair follicle becomes plugged on your scalp, the hair in that follicle becomes trapped and is prevented from coming to the surface.  Over time, your scalp becomes smooth and you become bald or lose most of your hair.

So the secret to preventing hair loss, thinning and balding is to prevent your hair follicles from becoming plugged.  Once you know what causes your follicle to plug, you can avoid or counteract those conditions.

Here is what causes your follicles to become plugged.

   *  Excessive build up of testosterone in blood converting over to DHT and plugging up your hair follicles

   *  Use of shampoos, conditioners, and gels that contain excessive un-natural chemical that stay on your scalp and get trapped in your follicles

   *  Excessive release of sebum and scalp flaking mixing together to form a hard material that plugs up your follicles.

DHT Build Up in Your Follicle

It is well known now that excessive conversion of testosterone into DHT accumulates in the hair follicles and plugs.  Knowing this you can use a variety of shampoos on your hair to dissolve this DHT.  This keeps your pores open and your hair growing normally.  You can also take capsules that prevent the conversion of testosterone into DHT.

Un-natural Shampoo and Conditioners

Most shampoos, conditioners, and hair gels are created using petrochemicals, un-natural additives, dyes, preservatives that are harmful to your hair and scalp.

In addition, these un-natural hair product chemicals get into your pores and can plug.  Once in the follicle, they also get into your blood and are harmful to your liver and the rest of your body.

Search for more natural shampoo products which contain fewer petrochemicals and have more herbs with natural cleansing chemicals

Excessive Sebum and Scalp Flaking

Some people have oily hair and some dry.  When the hair follicle releases excess sebum it accumulates on the scalp.  Here it will combine with dirt, dead scalp cells, and shampoo chemical residues.  

Using natural remedies reduces the amount of chemical available to combine with excess sebum and dead scalp cells.  If you use any type of gel to style your hair these gels combine with sebum to plug up your follicles.

To keep your hair and scalp clean and follicles open, use aloe vera gel mixed with a few drops of jojoba oil.  Buy aloe vera gel, 99% pure and pure jojoba oil.  Put some aloe vera gel in your hand and add 4-5 drops of jojoba oil.  Rub your hands together then rub this mixture into your hair.  This mixture will keep your hair shiny and thick and your hair follicles open.

Just making these changes to your hair care will go a long way in keeping your hair from thinning any further

Hair Care Tips
Hair is an important aspect of an individual’s appearance. It is natural and is determined at the time of birth. It generates from the number of roots in the scalp. Each hair grows up to a certain length and then stops naturally. It even sheds down at some point. New hair shaft replaces the lost hair. Now this new hair needs to be taken care of. 

Healthy hair is a mirror to a good health. But due to the velocity of life one tends to skip over health issues leaving apart hair care. Here are a few hair care tips to ease hair loss and achieve manageable healthy hair. 

Balanced Diet: Hair being a part of your body is affected by the food intake of an individual. It is recommended that a daily diet should be balanced with adequate amount of carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, proteins and minerals. An individual having oily hair should avoid intake of oily food items. Drinking plenty of water cleanses the toxins in turn enabling healthy hair growth.

Natural Hair Care: Brushing your hair regularly to stimulate the scalp will keep it looking healthy and lustrous. Never attack wet hair with a brush, no matter how rushed for time you are. Tangles in wet hair are best removed with a wide-toothed comb. A warm oil scalp massage two or three times a week will help stimulate and moisturize the scalp.

Air dry: Blow drying your hair robs off the excess moisture. It damages your hair even more. Let your hair air-dry whenever possible. Stand under the fan and run your fingers gently through the hair helping it dry.

Various hair care products are available in the market to help your hair restore its natural health and protect it from chemicals. Hair gels, creams, oils, shampoo, conditioner and hair softeners are to name a few. A wide range of hair care accessories in hair spray, tweezers, hair scissors, hair cutting scissors, sheers, professional sheers, hair sheers, hair comb, bobby pin, head band, eyelash curler, hair brush, and shower cap accessories are available.

For each hair care accessory and product, a full description of the product, picture of the package and the directions for its use is given.

In order to purchase a hair care product or accessory, one need not go searching for a salon or beauty shop. You can order it online. It’s the easiest way to purchase the right product to spruce your hair.

Healthy hair is a blessing. Treat your hair right for lustrous and healthy hair.

Falling Hair? Cure It With Simple Scalp Exercise

scalp treatment
Falling Hair? Cure It With Simple Scalp Exercise
A receding hairline is the most obvious sign of aging, being on the most prominent location. It is like falling leaves when autumn comes. That’s why most of the middle and advanced aged people suffer from thinning hair. And, to their constant chagrin, most male suffer from this misfortune.

Caring for your hair doesn’t stop with washing and shampooing it. You have to pay equal attention to it in the same manner as you pay to other parts of your body. The hair needs nourishment just like the rest of your system to keep them in place and keep them from moving to your bathroom shower drain.

In your campaign for a healthier body most of the time the hair is not included. You work out every inch of your body, but not the hair. There are no exercises for it anyway, you might think. But decades ago, Sanford Bennett, became a celebrity for experiments that led to his physical rejuvenation at 70. Besides all the exercises he devised to make his face younger and his bodily muscles more robust, he also devised an exercise for a healthier and stronger scalp that could trigger the thicker growth of the hair.

To Bennett, the scalp, just like any other part of the body if exercised, would increase in strength and elasticity. This is because there are microscopic glands and muscles in the scalp. The law that applies in exercising the major muscles of the body also applies to those.

So how does it go? Alternately pull your hair in all directions and massage the scalp with the pads of your fingers while you lie in bed. This will improve the blood circulation and eventually feed the roots of the hair with the nutrients it needed. It also exercises the muscles in the scalp making the muscles stronger, which will logically hold the hair more strongly. And since the blood is pumped through the microscopic glands and muscles in the scalp, they are sure to increase in size, strength and elasticity. This naturally results in much fewer hair falling and healthier-looking hair.

One of the best refreshers for the hair ad the scalp is the alternate washing of hot and cold water. It also accelerates the blood circulation there. Wash the hair first with hot water, as hot as you can bear it. Then follow up with very cold water (but without using ice). Applying hot and cold towels alternately can be a good substitute. This procedure should be repeated at least five or six times.

Natural Hair Care the Best Treatment for Hair Loss


nutritional supplements
Herbal Nutritional Supplements
There are several Causes of Hair Loss in Women and men and as there are a number of causes, there are also a number of Hair Loss Medications for Males and females available.

The most common cause of hair loss in men is androgenetic alopecia (males) which can also be called DHT Hair Loss. When testosterone, the male hormone, gets converted to DHT, it results in hair loss. Besides Anti-Androgen Medication, there are a number of Herbal Nutritional Supplements available which contain natural substances for blocking this transformation into DHT by the human body and are able to take care of hair loss. The active ingredients of these supplements are all-natural herbal, vitamin, and mineral DHT inhibitors. These natural hair care products contain no harsh chemicals and do not have sexual side effects which are very much evident in Hair Loss Medication.

The common hair care treatments available for females for normal hair care include shampoos, conditioners, whereas hair Re-growth treatment with Anti-Androgens and topical treatment with Rogaine are the only available options for female balding. There are many limitations of the anti androgen therapy, and the topical medication Rogaine which is more effective in preventing further hair loss rather than stimulating hair growth, is quite expensive and requires a long period of treatment (from 6 months to a year). Besides, the results obtained after a long period of use disappear after the treatment is stopped. In such situations it is best to explore the natural hair care secrets offered by many Natural Herbal Supplements and the Nutritional Health Vitamin Supplements.

Nutrition plays a very important role for hair care. The hair follicles which are in an active growth phase are strong and healthy compared to those which are in the resting stage. A steady flow of proper nutritional building blocks is essential for hair follicles to grow and produce healthy hair fiber. The follicles derive their nutrition from the blood. A balanced diet which has the natural vitamin supplements, proteins and mineral and health supplements is able to provide natural nutritional supplements to the hair follicles. If the already weak hair follicles do not get proper nutrition they become more prone to shedding.

These natural health supplements create an atmosphere where the tiny follicles beneath your scalp receive exactly what they need to create beautiful, full-bodied hair and also the power they need to sustain themselves when old.

Preventive care is the best form of treatment for any type of illness and hair loss is no exception. By providing the advantage of best nutritional and natural hair care you are sure to have a better control of hair loss.

Natural food supplements are the key to good health, and using natural hair care products and supplements are the best hair loss treatments for hair care.

Natural hair care secrets lie in taking a scientifically balanced mixture of Vitamins, Minerals and other Health Supplements which have long been regarded as effective for providing the right nourishment to the hair follicles and retain their vitality, natural color and the their potential for re-growth which can be lost due to both the internal and external causes.

Science has now unraveled the natural care secrets of phytonutrients, or phytochemicals, many of these chemicals have antioxidant capabilities greater than vitamin A, C, or E and the vitamins which have also been shown to be related with hair care. Many of these chemicals have anti-cancer benefits, and the good news is that there are thousands of such chemicals found in each fruit or vegetable.

Besides fruits and vegetables, nature has many herbs and plants which are able to provide natural hair care. Hormonal imbalance resulting from menopause is an important cause of hair loss in women. Besides menopause, hormonal imbalance is also caused during pregnancy, child birth, and is the cause of poly cystic ovarian syndrome in women, hormonal imbalance is also one of the main causes of hair loss in women.

Many of the herbs have the required natural supplements in them which are able to take care of most of the problems women face, so much so that they can be labeled as Women Health Supplements. These natural women health supplements are able to prevent hair loss due to menopause and are especially useful for women’s health during the difficult phases of their life.

Save money and give yourself a break from the chemicals found in most hair care products by using the following natural home remedies.

Tame your frizzy hair by rubbing coconut oil into your hands and applying sparingly onto your hair. You don't want to overdo it - too much will make your hair look greasy. Shampooing your hair less frequently also helps with the frizzies. Excess shampooing strips natural oils from the hair.

Rinse your hair with baking soda and water to rid your hair of shampoo build-up and styling residues. Rinsing your hair with one juiced lemon and one cup of water is said to bring life and shine back to dull hair. Apple cider vinegar mixed with water will give your hair shine and bounce.

Add essential oil of ylang ylang to your shampoo, conditioner and styling agents as a hair rejuvenator and to stimulate hair growth. Add patchouli to your shampoo if you have oily hair.
Rosemary is an effective hair tonic and conditioner. Rosemary also helps retain color especially in dark hair.

Chamomile and lemon juice have a mild bleaching effect on hair. Mix chamomile tea with lemon juice and use as a rinse to lighten hair.
For problems with dandruff, add rosemary and/or patchouli essential oils to your shampoo or mix with almond oil as a hair treatment for your scalp.

For hair loss, add horseradish oil, cedarwood, clary sage, and/or rosemary oil to your shampoo. Also, Vitamins B, C, F, zinc, iron, copper and protein are essential for hair growth. MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is a natural source of organic sulfur good for treating hair loss. Take MSM supplements or eat high sulfur content greens such as kale and watercress.

Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables is probably the best way to achieving healthy hair. What goes into your body is reflective on the outside including your hair.

Hair Care Tips for the Swimmers and Sun-bathers

hair care tips
Hair Care Tips for the Swimmers
It is of utmost importance for the swimmers to take care of their hair because chlorine and salt water are both harmful for hair. The water of the swimming pool contains chlorine and if the swimmer is a navigator then salt water of sea could not be avoided so they should pay attention to their hair otherwise hair that goes untreated will have dry hair and will develop a green color cast on hair. The formation of green color is due to the chemical combination of chlorine and copper sulphate in the hair. Prolong exposure to excessive heat of the sun is also very harmful for your unprotected hair as it causes a chemical reaction called oxidation, which weakens bonds between hair cells, causing hair to become dull and brittle over time.

To avoid any damage to your hair it is important that you take care of your hair regularly by using good shampoo with EDTA that will help to remove the chlorine in water, conditioner and using swimming cap while you are swimming or wearing a hat whenever you are out in the sun. Those who have to work in the open field under the sun they need to avoid highlighting their hair and need to have extensive conditioning of hair. Look for those styling creams, pomades, leave-in conditioners, and shine enhancers with sunscreen that contains the ingredient octyl methoxycinnamate those guard hairs by both absorbing and deflecting harmful rays.

Though you find numerous skin care products that contain SPF that protects your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun but hair product with SPF is still to come in the market. And if any hair care product said to sunscreen your hair then it doesn’t offer total protection as it is difficult to distribute it evenly. Any there are several other options that will protect your hair from ultraviolet rays of the sun and they are hat and some styling products with silicone that smooth the cuticle, fill in gaps, and keeps moisture out leaving an invisible film on the hair that can be washed out easily and so there is no buildup. 

If your hair is lifeless mostly on humid days, as it causes curly hair to frizz as well as weighs down straight hair then moisture in the atmosphere is the main reason and if this is not the reason then it may be due to the oiliness of your hair. Make sure to put your hair up in a ponytail since humidity causes hair to swell, and in this condition avoid the use of hair conditioner because it will soak in moisture better. So it could be concluded that you should apply the hair care products after determining the condition of you hair to get the effective result.

Choose Hair Care Products After Testing for Quality

hair products
Hair Products

If the right hair care product is not chosen, there are many limitations when it comes to maintaining the hair. It is for the individual to decide what best product suits the hair. It is recommended that consumers opt for natural products that aid the growth of the hair with ingredients such as oils and herbs. 
Today, one of the most highly evolved industries since years is the hair care industry as the focus is clearly on maintaining the hair. Maintenance of lengthy hair poses many problems since shampoos and conditioners have to be applied periodically. If there is lack of maintenance of hair, it will result in multiple problems for the person. Eventually, lack of hair care will result in loss of hair or baldness that may not be good for the individual. Therefore choose the hair care products after testing them for quality and reliability.

People having long hair will always find the going tough daily since maintenance is a problem. Ladies, especially, have to face a lot of problems when it comes to maintenance of hair. Therefore, a number of prescriptions are being made by doctors and beauticians engaged in the industry. However, there are plenty of limitations when it comes to maintenance of hair. For, there are various types of hair, such as oil hair, dry hair and dense hair. Not all products meet the requirements of each hair type. Since it is difficult to standardize the hair product, the onus is clearly on the individual to decide what products go well with the hair. However, choosing this particular product can be a big problem for the users. 

This includes not only forming the right combination for the hair type, but also using it appropriately. Each person should be aware of the limitations of natural hair care. Whenever a person faces a problem relating to hair care, he or she first visits the beautician or the personal doctor concerned who will prescribe medicine. The prescription could be in the form of cosmetics or hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, nourishment and growth aiding agents. However, consumers are not aware of the product that has to be used to produce the desired effect. What matters most to the consumers at this point is to ascertain whether the product works in favor of them.

The major hurdle in ascertaining whether the product is favors the hair is that the components of the product are not standardized. Unlike medications, the cosmetic products that are applied on the skin or to the hair need not necessarily produce the same effect to all people. Each person's physical composition varies. Therefore, the reaction of the hair care ready products may be different from person to person. The products cannot be personalized at any level to the customer. Here , there are many limitations. The customer will be in a dilemma whether to opt for ready hair care products or to go in for natural ingredients or agents.

Hair Care Tips for Men

hair care tips for men
Hair Care for Men

Hair is not a living part of your body
There are mens' hairstyles & haircuts that can make more youthful, nerdy, rugged or masculine, intelligent & sexy. Men need their hair trimmed more often than women do. Natural healthy hair can be maintained by providing your hair with sufficient vitamins and nutrients through a variety of shampoos. Chemicals help in opening your hair shaft. Ammonia-free formulas also exist, but studies have shown that they're harmful. After showering, you can see instant drying of your hair. 
Avoid pull-through caps that can cause damage of color overlap. Major color changes cause major harm. So it's better to leave those things to the pros. Men normally have a shower or wash their hair on a daily basis but very few actually use shampoo or conditioners. Hair root and hair follicles generally become lose with age. As a result, the hair strands become lose and fall.

Hair is very sensitive. It needs proper care, otherwise it starts shedding in great amount. Almost every day you lose 50 to 100 hairs. It is a normal part of the hair shedding.  Frizzy and dry hair can benefit from the application of silicone based products. Bear in mind that a little goes a long way and concentrate the product on the ends of your hair. The wrong hair brush or the wrong technique may tear your hair. They're hairs broken because of using wrong hairbrush or wrong technique. 

Bristles play a major role to prevent hair breakage. Blow-drying, curling and flat-ironing can cause the lifting up of the hair's outer layer , cuticle. It releases moisture and leaves your shafts brittle. A right conditioner helps to restore shine and also mask split ends. Apply a conditioner to dry roots. Wet your hair and shampoo. Then rinse and condition again.

Men Hair Care Tips 
1. Don't be cheap about the styling products. 
2. Get regular haircuts and trims from your trusted barber. 
3. Massage your scalp with your fingertips or the pads of your fingers--not with your fingernails.
4. Use Hair Product Sparingly.
5. Use a Cap to Dry Hair. 
6..Wash your Hair the Night Before to Achieve a Better Bed-head Style.
7. Hair gel is used on the hair.

Hair care Tips for Your Colored Treated Hair

colored hair
Colored Hair
Whether your hair is dyed, highlighted, or streaked, you have the same problem that most women with color treated hair have, hair that lacks luster and shine. When your hair is treated with color, it loses its vitality and natural shine. Have you ever noticed that after your hair is colored it has a different feel to it, … A feel that’s synthetic, almost similar to hair weave? Well, the reason why is because colored treated hair has been processed with chemicals that deplete your hair with a process called oxidation. Oxidation is loss of hydrogen. Coloring agents contain these chemicals that wear down on your hair follicles and remove the proper moisture balance from your locks. The end result is dull, frizzy, and lifeless hair. Follow these tips to revitalize your shine and luster after your hair has been colored.

 Begin caring for your color treated hair immediately after the processing. I know that it sounds a bit exaggerated, however the wearing down process that damages your hair follicles begins immediately, so you must start your anti-damage treatment as soon as it begins. The sooner the better! The best way to begin this treatment is to spray your hair with a good oil sheen a few nights a week before you go to bed, and place a silk bonnet or cap over it to retain the moisture. I know, I know, who wants limp locks that have been sprayed with oil, where’s my body going to go? In order to maintain your hair’s body, roll your hair with large or jumbo rollers, preferably sponge. Avoid excessive sheen, a little shot will do.

 Use a good conditioning shampoo. Whether you wash your hair every other night or once a week, depending on your own needs, (naturally oily hair needs to be washed more often) you need a conditioning shampoo. I suggest, KeraCare products. This is an awesome shampoo that works to keep natural moisture in your hair, as well as a deep penetrating cleansing that is necessary for your color treated hair. After shampooing your hair, follow up with a conditioner, at once.

 Condition with a quality product. You want to invest in a quality conditioner that will coat your hair follicles and restore proper moisture balance. It also needs to contain a UV protection agent that will protect your delicate hair from harsh sunrays. Make sure that your conditioner contains humectants, which help to restore moisture balance as well. Investing in quality conditioning products will ensure that your follicles won’t be stripped of its coating. These products that contain these ingredients actually provide your hair with a coating that protects your follicles. You won’t be sorry for it.

 Hot oil treatments are needed on a regular basis. The actual time span varies from person to person, just depending on the condition of your hair. Most stylists suggest twice a year, but of course some could use more frequent treatments. Some key ingredients here to look for in hot oil treatments are avocado, jojoba, and coconut oils. These leave the hair looking healthier and shiner. This is a good preventive measure to use in-between salon visits.

 Visit your stylist on a regular basis. It is important to see an expert on a regular basis when your hair is color treated. They can detect future problems and attack them head on.
