How Does A Head Massage Help In Hair Growth?

Image
Science is still looking for an answer to balding. There is, however, no real effective means of accelerating hair growth or even regrowth for that matter. Each month hair grows about half an inch or around 1.2 to 1.5 cm as humans are genetically conditioned to grow it that way. But then again, for those with heredity that adjudges baldness, hair fall is inevitable and scientifically solutions to permanent balding are still pending. Although, with proper and sustained care, hair can grow strong, healthy and shiny, even if the growth is slow. There are other ‘remedies’ to lengthen hair quickly, such as hair extensions. These are not recommended due to their corrosive nature. Extensions are clipped to the hair or scalp, resulting in traction or pulling of the hair leading to hair fall. Another remedy to hair growth is to massage. GROW YOUR HAIR FAST There is a good reason why hair growth speeds up with a scalp massage. This is due to the enhanced blood flow and circulation.

Temperatures Could Affect The Growth Of Hair

Image
As unfortunate as it might seem, temperatures do take a toll on the hair’s appearance and its health. Whether you are using the hot iron extensively or if the weather is too cold, dry or hot, the rise or fall in temperatures can adversely affect your hair growth. Individuals who deal with extreme temperatures can experience at least a loss of half-an-inch of growth each month. You can, however, make informed hair care choices depending on how your hair relates to a particular temperature. COLD It might seem surprising to some but cold can also have a negative effect on hair. Medical hair treatments such as chemotherapy and other colder measures can clinically damage the hair. The blood flow to the follicles in the scalp are diminished thus stunting hair growth. Environmentally, cold air can lead to brittleness, fragility, and dryness while increasing the static in the hair. You might try and use some insulation techniques although this may not necessarily give you any results. ...

Wearing a hat can make you go bald – Myth or Fact?

Image
Whether you are wearing a hat or not, MPB or patterned baldness is one of the most common forms of hair loss that is pretty widespread. The cause is attributed predominantly to genetics and hormones and, well, not hats. There are several drugs available in the market that can interrupt the MPB’s metabolism. While hair regrowth is not promised, at least hair retention can be achieved. Most of us consider hats as harmless pieces of headgear that do not advent hair disease. In fact, they provide protection against harmful external elements when we are outside. Theories are abundant, which also debunk the fact that hats strain the hair, thus wearing out the hair follicles, and eventually causing them to fall out – permanently. But there are other cases where the innocuous chapeau has actually been proven to cause balding and hair loss. Traction alopecia Traction alopecia is a caused due to friction or traction of the hairs that are fitted togeth...

Lifestyle Factors That Cause Hair Loss

For most of us, hair loss is an issue that has to be dealt with seriously. In many cases, these are only resolvable with professional intervention. In some, this is not an alternative either, because hair loss is permanent. Hair loss shatters confidence and is a source of real anxiety for many. While it is extremely common to lose some amount of hair daily, there are certain lifestyle choices made each day that actually affect hair growth. SMOKING It is no wonder that smoking is strongly linked to hair loss. It also hastensaging. This is because the smoker chooses to live amongst heavy pollution, toxins, tobacco smoke, etc., that make their way into the bloodstream. These carcinogens and chemicals attack the weakest part of the body – Hair. The growth of hair slows down, and thinning hair becomes evident. If left uncontrolled, in its entirety,  smoking leads to balding . Cutting back on smoking can arrest follicle-withering. DIETARY INCONSISTENCIES One of the key factors ...
