The stress of modern life takes a toll on your beautiful mane, causing hair fall as well as dandruff which can further exacerbate hair fall.
Untimely food intakes, junk foods without proper nutrition, habit of dieting, altered sleep patterns all affect our hair. Hair is made of protein and so taking good protienacous food is essential for the health and glow of hair.
If you have any hair problems, ideally you should consult a doctor to evaluate the cause. One of the most common causes of hair fall in young adults now a days is dandruff. Dandruff is not a disease but a natural tendency of the oily skin. So we can never completely cure it, but only control it. Stress, altered sleep patterns, changes in the water especially the pH of the water used for head bath, frequent travel all can exacerbate dandruff, leading to hair fall. The use of swimming pool has increased tremendously now. The highly chlorinated water of swimming pools can cause dryness of hair as well as exacerbate dandruff causing hair fall.So it is a must to shampoo and condition hair every time after use of swimming pool even if you are using a swim cap.
A wide variety of shampoos and other hair care products are available in the market causing confusion regarding what to use and what not to use. When choosing hair wash products always go for a shampoo and a conditioner separately. Never use a product claiming to contain both since both these act exactly opposite to each other nullifying the effects of both. Wash with a shampoo, then apply a conditioner and wash that also after 2-3 minutes. People with a tendency to develop dandruff should avoid using oil on hair because dandruff has an associated fungus which grows well in oily medium exacerbating dandruff. To make the hair better manageable and smoother, serums can be applied either on wet or dry hair.
Early graying is seen more now. This can sometimes be a genetic tendency running in families or can be stress induced or can be due to a vitamin deficiency. Graying is often difficult to treat and most often coloring may have to be done to hide the grey. Coloring is better than dyeing as color tends to stay longer and has lesser chance of producing allergy. It is better to get the colouring done in a good parlor than getting it done at home on ones own , since when done at home there is more chance for colour getting in contact with surrounding skin and other unwanted areas leading to allergies, irritation and related problems.
Hair fall and other associated problems can develop secondary to hormonal problems induced by abnormalities of the thyroid gland by conditions such as poly-cystic ovarian disease. So a thorough evaluation and blood check-up are necessary in the management of hair problems.
Dryness and roughness of hair and rubbing of hair against surfaces can lead to the problem like split ends. If split ends develops, this has to be cut and removed to prevent the split from extending upwards. Further exacerbation or development of the problem can be prevented by tying the hair preventing it from rubbing against surfaces.
In case of hair problems it is ideal to start the care and treatment as soon as possible since delays in treatment can badly affect the response to treatment and the final outcome. This is especially true in the case of balding which is now seen to set in earlier ie even in early twenties where as previously it was seen to develop in forties.
Now to tackle hair problems there are various medicines as well as cosmeceuticals available which need to be taken in or applied over the scalp, as is required.
So a timely management of your hair problems can help you retain your mane’s glory letting it glow with all the shine due on that glittering special day of yours when all eyes will be on you.
