    <content:encoded><![CDATA[If you are noticing that you are experiencing white flakes falling from the scalp then you have dandruff. This flaking of the skin is no more than that of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a>, and the itching that can often be associated with dandruff can be very annoying for many people.<br><br>Given that this condition affects many people and has been present for many years, there is still no single answer as to why dandruff appears, and also why some people have it and others do not. Possible reasons or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/causes+of+dandruff" rel="tag">causes of dandruff</a> is that it is the result of a fungus or an allergic reaction, stress, or some kind of hormonal imbalance within the body. There is also the possibility that the shampoo that the person is using is actually too harsh and this is causing the scalp to become severely dry and also irritable.<br><br>Surprisingly there are types of dandruff that are present amongst people, that of dry and dandruff that is waxy. Should the scalp be constantly itchy then this would describe the condition of dandruff that is dry, and the shedding of the skin can be seen within the hair and also on the shoulders.<br><br>Now should the top layer of the scalp be mixed with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+oils" rel="tag">natural oils</a> then this is used to describe waxy dandruff, which causes the shedding of the scalp to become stuck together. As mentioned already there is no single answer as to why a person develops dandruff but other possible factors are those of a diet that is poor, a lack of zinc within the body and the use of hair products that are highly alkaline.<br><br>Waxy dandruff arises when the scaliness of the epidermis is mixed with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebum" rel="tag">sebum</a>, which causes it to stick to the scalp in patches. Dandruff may be caused by many factors, and among the contributing factors are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/poor+nutrition" rel="tag">poor nutrition</a>, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/zinc+deficiency" rel="tag">zinc deficiency</a>, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yeast+infections" rel="tag">yeast infections</a>, high use of alkaline soaps or shampoos and some types of fungus.<br><br>Thankfully however there are a number of solutions that are available for this particular condition and often the best treatment is to opt for products that are natural and will not cause further irritation or dryness to the scalp. Dandruff is not just a condition where the scalp is shedding or where there is a great deal of itching, but it can also cause a great deal of embarrassment.<br><br>Some of the best ingredients that can be used are fenugreek which is used to help neutralise the effects of dandruff. This should be soaked in water for 24 hours, and then made into a paste. The paste should be massaged into the scalp and left for an hour before being rinsed.<br><br>Tea tree oil is very useful and there are actually a number of products that already contain this ingredient because of its amazing antiseptic properties. This is able to penetrate the layers of the skin, and if you have not already, just add a few drops to your existing shampoo. Do not apply tea tree neatly to the scalp as in its raw state it is quite strong.<bio>Get more information about <a href="http://www.livingtheslolife.net/?page_id=90">hair care</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[At any one time, about 10 percent of the hair on your scalp is in a resting phase. After 2 to 3 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place. This growing phase lasts for 2 to 6 years. Each hair grows approximately 1 centimeter per month during this phase. About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time. <br /><br /> Hair loss is a common problem among men and women. About 25 percent of men begin balding by age 30 and two-thirds begin losing hair by age 60, according to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/american+medical+association" rel="tag">American Medical Association</a>. <br /><br /> A number of things can cause <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/excessive+hair+loss" rel="tag">excessive hair loss</a>. For example, about 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary.  Hormonal problems may <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cause+hair+loss" rel="tag">cause hair loss</a>. If your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/thyroid+gland" rel="tag">thyroid gland</a> is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/thyroid+disease" rel="tag">thyroid disease</a>. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss. <br /><br /> Dandruff is one of the causes of Hair loss. Dandruff is caused by a fungus known as malazzesia globosa. This fungus is commonly found floating in the air which is why dandruff can be treated, but not cured. Studies have shown that with only 90 minutes of continuous scratching by the fingernails, it is possible to remove all of the cuticular scale, a protective covering on individual hairs, off of a hair shaft. This loss leaves the hair shaft weakened and permanently damaged, making it easily susceptible to breakage and hair loss. <br /><br /> "The most effective <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff+shampoos" rel="tag">dandruff shampoos</a> and conditioners contain <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/zinc+pyrithione" rel="tag">zinc pyrithione</a>," advised Dr. Draelos. "These ingredients leave behind thin plate-like pieces of medicine on the scalp to prevent regrowth of the fungus, thus acting as a preventive measure for both dandruff and the hair loss associated with scratching."  Therefore, don't just ignore the itch, invest in proper treatment.   <bio>Here are some tips to manage your Crowning Glory.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dandruff constitutes a familiar affliction and one that will impact nearly all of us at some point in our lives. It is an itchy, bothersome and relentless skin condition of the scalp and is often hard to hide especially in severe cases. Dandruff is induced by the overproduction of a naturally occurring fungus called Pityrosporum Ovale, which can be activated by a hormonal imbalance or instability, an overly <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/oily+scalp" rel="tag">oily scalp</a> or a dietary insufficiency. <br /><br /> While we all slough off <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> from every surface of our body, dandruff sufferers have a broader cell turnover rate than most. In persons who suffer from dandruff there is a propensity for these cells to bunch together creating flakes which are frequently very visible. Dandruff can cause either an excessively dry scalp with itchy white flakes that may be waxlike or greasy or dandruff can manifest as an oily greasy scalp with scales. In a few cases, nevertheless, what seems to be dandruff is merely the innate peeling off that is a result of a dry scalp. <br /><br /> Most instances of dandruff are successfully addressed with an nonprescription anti-dandruff shampoo, with active components which can include: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/zinc+pyrithione" rel="tag">Zinc Pyrithione</a>, Climbazole, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/octopirox" rel="tag">Octopirox</a> and Ketoconazole. If nonprescription shampoo does not solve your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff+problems" rel="tag">dandruff problems</a>, see your physician. They will be able prescribe a more concentrated product. If you experience a severe case of dandruff it is crucial to try and fix the situation as dandruff can cause your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+roots" rel="tag">hair roots</a> to become fragile which can in some instances contribute to hair loss. Ultimately dandruff keeps air from flowing to your hair roots. <br /><br /> Some products are designed for daily use or every time you wash your hair, although others merely necessitate episodic use. It is important that you read the label and follow the instructions carefully. In addition, some experts advocate alternating between an anti-dandruff shampoo and your regular shampoo from day to day. It might also be helpful to massage your scalp while shampooing to loosen up the dandruff flakes, however be sure not to scratch your scalp. <br /><br /> It is important to note that using a hair dryer too frequently, over processing (perms and coloring) your hair and excess use of hairsprays and gels may exacerbate your dandruff. Try and grant your scalp a rest and only do what is essential until you get your dandruff in check. <br /><br /> If you are seeking a more natural cure, some folks claim taking two beaten eggs and two tablespoons of water and applying the substance to wet hair can help alleviate dandruff. You let the substance stay on your hair between ten and fifteen minutes after you have massaged it into your scalp and then just rinse it out of your hair. <br /><br /> It has also been suggested that placing three drops of tea tree oil in a modest amount of shampoo or a couple drops of rosemary essential oil to your conditioner can help cure dandruff. <br /><br /> Although dandruff can sometimes cause embarrassment it is an extremely common problem which we will all face at some point in our lives. There is vast variety of dandruff shampoos and products on the market today due to the increased demand so it is no longer necessary for anyone to have to go untreated.   <bio>Tips on hair health and facts on hair care products to help you make informed decisions.Visit: <a href="http://www.haircaretipsandtreatments.com" >http://www.haircaretipsandtreatments.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are lots of dandruff products on the market. They're backed by multi million <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dollar+companies" rel="tag">dollar companies</a> and massive <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/advertising+campaigns" rel="tag">advertising campaigns</a>. So you're bound to have seen the adverts, especially the ones where they wash half of one poor soul's hair in an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anti+dandruff+shampoo" rel="tag">anti dandruff shampoo</a> and the other half in whichever product is being sold. <br /><br /> But the big problem is that most of the products won't actually cure your dandruff. They'll only mask the problem. So you'll hop from one product to the next to the next until you're back at the "new, improved" version of the first one you started with. Surely it will work this time? <br /><br /> If you're relying on an anti-dandruff shampoo then you need to check the ingredients list. You may need a magnifying glass and some bright light to do this, but make sure that you do. <br /><br /> One of the common ingredients of dandruff shampoos is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/zinc+pyrithione" rel="tag">zinc pyrithione</a>. This is supposed to work on the yeasts and fungus that are the most common causes of this scalp complaint. And so long as you finish the course then this usually happens. But if you stop part way, chances are that your problem will come back with a vengeance. Leaving you with more dandruff than when you started. <br /><br /> If your shampoo has a different active ingredient - ketoconazole and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/selenium+sulfide" rel="tag">selenium sulfide</a> are two of the most common alternatives - then you're almost certainly being scammed. These ingredients work to control your dandruff but only so long as you're using the product that contains them. As soon as you stop using the shampoo, guess what, your dandruff comes back. Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place. <br /><br /> If your chosen brand has <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/coal+tar" rel="tag">coal tar</a> in it, put the bottle back on the shelf! Coal tar has been found to be capable of causing cancer. <br /><br /> Next up on the scam possibility are the various natural cures. This isn't to say that these natural cures won't work - some of them most certainly do. But some are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/old+wives+tales" rel="tag">old wives tales</a>. If you go down this course, check out other people's reviews to see whether there is a good chance that the weird and wonderful things you'll be putting on your hair stand a chance of working. <br /><br /> Some of the natural cures that are said to work include: <br /><br /> * Massaging tea tree oil into your scalp and then rinsing it out about a quarter hour later. <br /><br /> * Rubbing aloe vera gel into your hair and rinsing it out about 10 minutes later. <br /><br /> - Using a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice in with the last rinse of your hair - just be careful that this doesn't have the effect of changing the color of your hair. <br /><br /> - Baking soda rubbed into your scalp and later rinsed out. <br /><br /> Whichever method you choose to clear up your dandruff, stay with it long enough to find out whether it works. It's no good using something once, finding your dandruff is still with you a couple days later and saying "well, that didn't work then". Almost all dandruff cures (apart from maybe shaving your head) will take time to work. So persevere long enough rather than giving up on your chosen dandruff cure after a couple weeks.   <bio>Learn more about dandruff, what can cause it, and how to treat and cure it by going to <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/getridofdandruff" >http://www.squidoo.com/getridofdandruff</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK, so you've read up on the internet about all the nasty ingredients that get put into regular off the shelf dandruff shampoos and you'd rather try something that treats your hair with respect. So what is the best <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff+treatment" rel="tag">dandruff treatment</a> at home? <br /><br /> 1. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/apple+cider+vinegar" rel="tag">Apple Cider Vinegar</a> Dandruff Cure <br /><br /> This is one of the natural cures that has been around for centuries, so it's stood the test of time and been proven over all these years. Apple cider vinegar works by killing off the fungus that cause all those nasty white flakes that break out on your scalp. <br /><br /> Use this in conjunction with a regular shampoo - any gentle, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ph+balanced+shampoo" rel="tag">PH balanced shampoo</a> will be fine. Ideally the more natural this shampoo is, the better. <br /><br /> Mix together two parts of apple cider vinegar to one part warm water. If you don't like the cidery smell, add a few drops of essential oils to mask the vinegar smell. <br /><br /> Do this mixing first, then once you've shampooed, pour it over your hair. Or, if you prefer more control over the application, put it in a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sprayer+bottle" rel="tag">sprayer bottle</a> and spray it on your hair. Massage the mixture into your scalp. Leave it to dry. There's no need to rinse it out. Indeed, the remedy will likely be more effective if you don't rinse but if the smell bugs you too much then feel free to rinse it out after an hour or so. <br /><br /> 2. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fenugreek+seeds" rel="tag">Fenugreek Seeds</a> <br /><br /> This one needs a bit more <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/advance+preparation" rel="tag">advance preparation</a> but nothing too complicated - just mainly time. Soak a few tablespoons of fenugreek seeds overnight in a bowl of water. Next day, grind the seeds into a paste - a regular <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/food+blender" rel="tag">food blender</a> works fine for this. Once you've got your paste, massage it into your scalp and leave it there for about an hour before rinsing the mixture out. <br /><br /> 3. Teatree Oil <br /><br /> You've probably seen this as an ingredient in various shampoos but you can also buy the oil separately. Teatree oil is a natural form of antiseptic, which is why it works for this treatment. Pour off some of your regular shampoo and add a few tablespoons of teatree oil into the bottle in the space you've just created. Then mix well before applying your shampoo as normal. You'll need to remember to shake your shampoo bottle before each use if the oil doesn't fully mix. Experiment with different brands if necessary and use a clear bottle to remind you to do this. <br /><br /> 4. De-stress your life <br /><br /> Dandruff can often be our body's way of telling us that there is too much stress in our life. Find ways to cut down the amount of stress you're exposed to. You can do this by taking up a relaxation method such as yoga or meditation. Or it could even be as simple as changing your routine slightly so that your drive to work isn't a nose to tail traffic jam. You'll likely know what stresses you out in your life. Taking steps to reduce this stress will help you in more ways than just your dandruff infested hair.   <bio>Get more tips on how to get rid of dandruff and start to lead a life free from your embarrassing white flakes.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[People suffer from different kinds of scalp problems. It ranges from simple to more serious skin conditions. Nonetheless, almost all problems of the scalp are upsetting. The treatment however, varies. There is no one solution to solving all sorts of these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+issues" rel="tag">hair issues</a>.<br><br>The following are some of the common scalp problems:<br><br>1.	Dandruff<br><br>Dandruff is a scalp condition generally caused by fungus. Some says that yeast cause this. Most are familiar with this because there are many people who are dealing with it. Men and women suffer from this. It causes drying, itching, and flaking of the scalp.

However, there are also shampoos especially recommended for more serious dandruff conditions.<br><br>2.	Dry Skin<br><br>Dry skin is easier to deal with. If you have this, moisturizing is essential. People who have dry scalp have dry hair as well. If you have this hair type, shampooing daily is not good because it will wash away the natural oil on your scalp.

Stress and emotional distress can also cause this. Hormonal change affects hair fall as well. Its treatment depends on what caused the problem. If it is because of your medication, you can wait until the treatment is complete. If it concerns stress and depression, you can seek help from a professional. <br><br>4.	<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/scalp+sores" rel="tag">Scalp sores</a> and blisters<br><br>Other problems one can encounter with his scalp are small bumps or blisters. This can be as simple as pimples or as serious as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+allergies" rel="tag">skin allergies</a>. If the little bumps do not go away and they itch, consult a dermatologist. You may be suffering from more serious skin conditions.<br><br>5.	Oily scalp<br><br>The problem with oily scalp is that they make you feel uncomfortable and uneasy. It also looks like you placed too much gel, cream, or mouse on your hair than necessary. Using shampoo and conditioner designed for oily hair will help you manage your hair. Daily shower will also help wash off the excess oil from your hair and scalp. <br><br>Scalp problems may appear similar sometimes. In order to treat it, take a closer look at the symptoms and find out its root cause. There are products that can help you deal with simple scalp problems. For example, an anti dandruff shampoo helps you get rid of dandruff. Deep conditioning and blow-drying with tourmaline hair dryers will help you with hair and scalp dryness.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Information for beauty products now brings you answers on how to help the biggest hair problem there is other than hair thinning or hair loss. Most of our customers that need hair helps have either dry scalp, dandruff or itchy scalp which is often times <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/scalp+psoriasis" rel="tag">scalp psoriasis</a> and this scalp problem can have been around for years. We have found that many times the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/scalp+problems" rel="tag">scalp problems</a> can be due to the current hair products that they are using on their scalp. Some of these products are very harsh since the cleansing agent that they use is often very harsh. People with scalp problems should stay away from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sodium+laurel+sulfate" rel="tag">Sodium laurel sulfate</a> as well as Ammonium laurel sulfate and we strongly suggest that they learn about the other ingredients that are involved in making hair care products. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sodium+laureth+sulfate" rel="tag">Sodium laureth sulfate</a> is much gentler on the scalp and works to cleanse so that there does not get an abundance of deep bacteria on the root of the hair which can cause serious <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+problems" rel="tag">hair problems</a> and in many women and men it can cause thinning. <br /><br /> If you are experiencing hair loss or thinning hair then we strongly suggest a hair follicle analysis that is done through the microscopes to help determine what may be causing your hair problems. These analyses are very inexpensive at around $39 and can point you in the right direction for solving your hair problems. They also come with product recommendations. <br /><br /> For dry scalp problems we have tried many different products and have found that u sing a product just one time is not enough to get to the heart of the problem but instead a daily regimen is best for your hair makeover. Using a shampoo followed by a conditioner that is rich in oil is the best way to get the moisture of the scalp and the hair up. We strongly recommend <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/emu+oil+products" rel="tag">emu oil products</a> and products with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/jojoba+oil" rel="tag">jojoba oil</a> but remember that most companies that manufacture these products use very little oil so it is important to find a products that uses a substantial amount of oil. Over about 3 weeks you will see that your hair and scalp conditions get better almost daily until it is no longer a problem at all. <br /><br /> For dandruff we believe that we have found the best product to help with dandruff and the good news is that this product is natural based and this means that there are not any tars or medication in the shampoo. This also means that you can use the shampoo and conditioner for as long as you like without any harsh side effects. Most people don't realize that you are not supposed to use the T gels and Head and Shoulders regularly. The new natural based anti itch and anti dandruff shampoo can be used as often as you like without and negative effects. That is huge but it is even better to know that we have seen the scalp get better and stay that way and that means that we don't have keep using it every day like the medicated shampoos and conditioners. For those that suffer from dandruff that will make your day if not you year as dandruff can be tough in many people and very persistent. The product that we recommend is Follicleanse <br /><br /> For scalp itch that is associated with scalp psoriasis or red bumps that flake we strongly suggest that you use Follicleanse shampoo. As a matter of fact the company was founded off Follicleanse Shampoo since the owner has had problems with scalp psoriasis. His frontal scalp at the hair line was thinning and flaking due to scalp psoriasis. After using this thyme, sage, fenugreek based herbal shampoo for several weeks it all went away. He has found that excess white sugar makes him breakout very little but it does make him breakout and these break outs are quickly and easily handled with Follicleanse natural based shampoo. Give it a try and find out for yourself!   <bio>Are you suffering from <a href="http://www.healthyhairplus.com/dry_hair.htm" >http://www.healthyhairplus.com/dry_hair.htm</a>?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What if we didn't have hair? What a crazy thought. The country literally spends billions on hair care and beauty products each year. This means that everything from makeup to hair loss products are becoming the norm. So how can some people become so bold as to shave their head -- well they do. They give up on the fight for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+thinning" rel="tag">hair thinning</a> to become hair thickening when there are clearly new brands on the market that help to grow fuller and thicker hair. One of these brands is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/nioxin" rel="tag">Nioxin</a> and another is Healthy Hair Plus. <br /><br /> Hair thinning has become a popular topic in the salons and in the malls and no one is impervious to hair thinning anymore. Even women are suffering from hair thinning or hair loss before they reach menopause and some possible causes are diet and stress as well as heavy build up on the scalp from hair products over the years, especially the sticky hair products like hair sprays that trap dirt and bacteria. The best products to use for dirt and bacteria build up on the hair are deep cleansing shampoos. Nioxin and Healthy Hair Plus both manufacture deep cleansing shampoos that help to deep cleanse away hormones and dirt build up on the root of the hair. <br /><br /> Another serious problem that has been around for years is dandruff and today most people only know about the medicated <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff+shampoos" rel="tag">dandruff shampoos</a> but they are not targeted at getting to the source of the problem. Products like Nioxin and Healthy Hair Plus work as much on the scalp as they are targeted at the hair. This is because the dandruff is on the scalp and leaving excess product behind or irritating the scalp can cause dandruff to pop up even in women and men that typically don't have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff+problem" rel="tag">dandruff problem</a>. <br /><br /> Many people mistake dandruff for actual flaky scalp that appears to be dandruff but is actually dry scalp that flakes away. For this problem it is much more effective to use a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dry+scalp+shampoo" rel="tag">dry scalp shampoo</a> that has one of the following oils: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/jojoba+oil" rel="tag">jojoba oil</a>, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/emu+oil" rel="tag">emu oil</a> or hemp oil. These oils work well to end dry scalp. The problem is that most companies don't put enough oil in the shampoo to make a difference. Our favorite is emu shampoo since it also has jojoba oil but does not leave the hair or even scalp oily in any way but it does leave the hair and scalp super moisturized and that is vital to health hair. <br /><br /> So this begs the question of what you should actually be looking for in a shampoo and conditioner as well as hair care treatments or products that style the hair and the answer is that every situation is different. I would say that the most important thing is to look how dry your hair is first. Then I would rate that as my top priority. Dry hair can cause numerous problems. And each of these problems can lead to more serious problems. We have had women with dry hair quickly turn gray and then we have had dry hair quickly turn to the most frizzy hair that eventually became unmanageable. Dry hair can also be a sign that your hormones are changing and that means that you need to start using products that protect your hair from thinning and loss. Itchy dry scalp is one of the chief complaints that we get in the salon. End dry itchy scalp by focusing on the correct problems and don't be scared of oils for the scalp and hair. <br /><br /> For those that pull the wrong straw and are starting to thin out then we strongly suggest a deep cleansing shampoo and hair vitamins that can help you get your hair growth back on target. Brand like Nioxin and Healthy Hair Plus can definitely help and work better when caught in the early stages of hair thinning or loss.   <bio>Finding Natural <a href="http://www.skinenergizer.com/haircare.htm" >http://www.skinenergizer.com/haircare.htm</a> can be difficult with all the different choices out there. <a href="http://www.skinenergizer.com/dandruff.htm" >http://www.skinenergizer.com/dandruff.htm</a> can also be difficult to find, or at least ones that work.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The good news is that you can do some things to reduce hair loss. The bad news is that you may need to change some of your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lifestyle+choices" rel="tag">lifestyle choices</a>. The scalp is very sensitive skin and must be treated with respect. <br /><br /> 1. First of all, know what you are putting on your scalp. Examine the chemicals you are using or your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+stylist" rel="tag">hair stylist</a> is using that may be damaging the follicles. Make certain permanent solutions are not left on too long. Take the time to investigate the chemicals being put on your hair and scalp to make sure that they are safe. Choose a hair stylist carefully, and ask questions about the chemicals he or she is using. <br /><br /> 2. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+straighteners" rel="tag">Hair straighteners</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/curling+irons" rel="tag">curling irons</a> may cause heat damage that can result in hair loss. When you use tools that become very hot, limit how much time they are in contact with your hair and most particularly how hot your scalp becomes. <br /><br /> 3. Your hair style may be damaging your hair. If you are pulling it back tightly for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/long+periods+of+time" rel="tag">long periods of time</a> such as with a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pony+tail" rel="tag">pony tail</a>, you may be damaging the hair follicles, particularly around your forehead. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+additions" rel="tag">Hair additions</a> are another threat to hair and scalp health. The attached hair piece, especially if worn for a long time, may be pulling on the scalp in such a way that causes damage. Hair follicles have actually been shown to die from hair pieces that have been worn too long. <br /><br /> 4. Dandruff is often taken for granted. It's usually assumed to be the result of dryness, so moisturizing products are applied. However, these only make hair loss worse. No one has come up with a totally satisfactory explanation for dandruff, but many believe that it is a fungus which may require a trip to the dermatologist. <br /><br /> 5. Washing your hair regularly is essential to healthy hair; however, how you wash your hair is also important. Remember that it is the scalp that needs to be clean and massaged, not just the hair. When showering, be sure to massage the shampoo all the way down to the scalp. <br /><br /> 6. When should you seek medical care? If you are experiencing patches of baldness, you may be suffering from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that requires treatment. Visit a dermatologist if your experience this symptom, as it may be a sign of a more serious underlying health problem. If you experience a lot of stress, you need to know that it may lead to hair loss. Finding ways to reduce the stress in your life may slow down your hair loss. Ringworm of the scalp is another disease that should be treated. Although it usually occurs in children and can be spread from child to child, it can also occur in adults. It is red and itchy and may be mistaken for dandruff. Untreated, it can cause permanent hair loss. <br /><br /> We all lose some of our hair as we grow older, but there are things that we can do to stave off the extent of the loss and how soon it will occur.   <bio>Learn more about natural hair loss treatment here: <a href="http://www.provillus-hairloss-product.com" >http://www.provillus-hairloss-product.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hair care is an important part of looking good and feeling good, both inside and out. There are an endless number of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+care+products" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+care+product" rel="tag">hair care product</a>s</a> that promise to shape up, curl, straighten, moisturize and rejuvenate, but what is the best way to maintain healthy hair? Here are 10 tips to get you started. <br /><br /> If you notice <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/split+ends" rel="tag">split ends</a>, have them trimmed. This will result in healthier hair and a better overall appearance. A trim is relatively inexpensive and should only take a matter of minutes at the local salon. <br /><br /> Use a low to medium heat on your hair dryer. Extreme heat can dry out the hair and cause the frizzies. <br /><br /> Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, which is not only bad for your skin, but can dry out your hair as well. <br /><br /> Many people suffer from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff" rel="tag">dandruff</a>. If you are one of the many, avoid scratching or rubbing the head as this will promote flaking. Instead, use a shampoo and/or conditioner that is especially designed to treat dandruff and eliminate flaking. <br /><br /> If you have thin hair, add a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/volumizing+shampoo" rel="tag">volumizing shampoo</a> for added body. If you have thick hair, using a healthy shine shampoo will bring out the additional beauty. <br /><br /> Avoid harsh hair care products, which can dry out or damage the hair. In some cases, individuals have even experienced hair loss in using certain at-home perm and/or coloring treatment products. If you want to have this type of treatment done, have it done at the salon. <br /><br /> In choosing a salon, make sure that you opt for one that has been in business for awhile and has a clean, professional workspace. <br /><br /> Ask <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/friends" rel="tag">friends</a> for referrals. If they have used a certain hair care product, which coincides with one that you are searching for, inquire about their experience. The same is true with salons, which are often best recommended by friends and family. <br /><br /> When brushing your hair, use soft strokes rather than those swiped in a hurry. A part of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quality+hair+care" rel="tag">quality hair care</a> is, just as the name implies, caring for your hair. <br /><br /> When using styling products, make sure that they do not overheat prior to using them on your hair. Extreme heat can and will damage the hair, not to mention the discomfort of a burn resulting from an overheated styling product. <br /><br /> The information contained in this article is to be used for reference only. It is not to be used in place of, or in conjunction with, professional hair care advice. Anyone who notices a concerning condition, relating to their hair, should consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and/or treatment.   <bio>To find out more about hair care, please visit our website at <a href="http://www.haircareguide.info">http://www.haircareguide.info</a> .

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ A person's hairstyle is his <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/crowning+glory" rel="tag">crowning glory</a>, whether that person is a man or a woman. Have you noticed a how a person changes his <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/appearance" rel="tag">appearance</a> with a change of hairstyle? Women often change their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hairstyles" rel="tag">hairstyles</a> to alter their moods. Women who experience depression will sometimes change their hairstyles believing that a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/new+hairstyle" rel="tag">new hairstyle</a> will not only change their looks but how they feel about themselves as well. <br /><br /> The changes in a person's appearance due to a change in hairstyle can be summed up in one word - transformation! Nothing changes a person's appearance and character more than a change of hairstyle, whether it's a change of the hair color or a haircut. <br /><br /> But as with make up, the foundation of a good hairstyle is a healthy scalp. Anyone who desires to change their appearance must start with the basic care of their scalp. While there is no compelling evidence to support the old saying that brushing your hair a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hundred+times" rel="tag">hundred times</a> each day will make you hair healthier, it may be a good tip for those who want to keep their hair healthy. <br /><br /> Brushing the hair (although not exactly a hundred times), will have a good effect on your scalp. It is always advisable to massage the scalp to stimulate the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+follicles" rel="tag">hair follicles</a>. <br /><br /> A person cannot choose the kind of hair he is born with although it can be improve. Your hair type has been determined from the moment you were in your mother's womb, since genes are the determining factor.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Messy and embarrassing, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff" rel="tag">dandruff</a> is one of the most common of hair woes. A few simple techniques and natural and inexpensive home treatments can help prevent and keep dandruff at bay. <br /><br /> CAUSES OF DANDRUFF <br /><br /> Although the cause of dandruff is not completely understood, it is currently theorized that one of the main causes is a breakdown of the scalps natural lipid barrier, leaving it more exposed to infection by the microscopic yeast that is commonly found in the scalp. When the yeast overgrows, it leads to an inflammatory response that kills off scalp cells at a high rate, which in turn slough off in sticky patches and flakes. <br /><br /> The condition is identified by: <br /><br /> and#61623; White or clear flakes on the scalp, through the hair, and on clothing.  and#61623; Itchy scalp which may be red and inflamed. <br /><br /> Some young teens find they develop dandruff when they hit puberty because their hygiene habits haven't changed to meet the challenges of newly accelerated <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebum+production" rel="tag">sebum production</a>. <br /><br /> Stress, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/poor+hygiene" rel="tag">poor hygiene</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/poor+diet" rel="tag">poor diet</a> can make the scalp more susceptible to dandruff. High sugar foods in particular are known to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exacerbate" rel="tag">exacerbate</a> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yeast+infections" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yeast+infection" rel="tag">yeast infection</a>s</a>. <br /><br /> The hair should be brushed regularly to loosen flakes and stimulate blood supply to the scalp, which will accelerate the natural immune response to infection. <br /><br /> TREATING DANDRUFF <br /><br /> There are few habits you can develop and natural treatments you can use to treat dandruff. <br /><br /> Nutrition: An excess of sugar in the diet can exacerbate any yeast infection. Try reducing your intake of all sugars and refined starches while treating for dandruff. <br /><br /> Cleansing: Massage your scalp thoroughly with your fingertips when shampooing. This will help loosen and remove any dead skin flakes and help prevent the infection from continuing. Wash your hair daily until the infection is cleared up. <br /><br /> Conditioning: Use a protective hair condition on the ends of hair only. Avoid getting conditioner on your scalp where it can clog pores and interfere with healing of the skin. <br /><br /> Other Treatments: <br /><br /> and#9675; Massage: Massaging your scalp several times a day with the pads of the fingers only will stimulate blood supply to the hair follicles and help loosen the dead skin flakes. <br /><br /> and#9675; Brushing: Brushing your hair thoroughly on a daily basis will help loosen and remove dead skin flakes, increase the smooth flow of sebum along the hair shaft, and increase blood supply to the hair follicles. <br /><br /> and#9675; Wash Hands After Brushing and Grooming Hair: Fungal infections of the skin are highly contagious, and it is easy to reinfect and spread to other areas of the body. This is why it's important to wash your hair daily and to brush out any loose dandruff flakes -- so that healthy areas of the scalp will not be infected. Washing your hands after brushing, massaging and grooming your hair will also help prevent reinfection or cross infection. <br /><br /> The following herbs and nutrients have been shown to reduce dandruff infections: <br /><br /> Natural Internal Treatments for Dandruff <br /><br /> Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Vanadyl Sulfate, Gynema Sylvestre and Chromium are all natural regulators of blood sugar levels. The can help prevent feeding the infection by keeping blood sugar levels normalized. <br /><br /> Olive Leaf and Oregano Leaf are both natural systemic antifungal agents. <br /><br /> Table - Natural External Treatments for Dandruff <br /><br /> The following herbs can be used as a tonic for reducing fungal infections on a topical basis. Extracts of these herbs or a several drops of their essential oils dissolved in aloe vera gel or witch hazel can greatly relieve the symptoms of itching and flaking in dandruff. Tea tree oil is particularly effective against fungal and bacterial infections. <br /><br /> Clary Sage  Desert Sage  Eucalyptus  Fumitory  Ginkgo Biloba  Ginsen  Grapefruit Seed Extract  Grapefruit Essential Oil  Grapeseed Extract  Juniper Berry Essential Oil  Lavender Essential Oil  Lemongrass  Myrtle  Oregano  Poike Root  Rosemary  Tea Tree Oil   <bio>Fawn Bales has studied and practiced alternative and herbal medicine for over 20 years.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are several contributors that are now known as to why many men and even some women wind up loosing some to all of their hair. Even though there are some of the same kinds of hair loss in men and women, there are other causes that are only specifically to women, and or only known in men.<br><br>Both women and men can loose hair due to long term constant stress that is going on in their lives. Various kinds of medications can cause hair falling, along with a good number of toxins that regularly touches the skin through the means of chemicals. Illnesses and infectious diseases, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/nervous+disorders" rel="tag">nervous disorders</a>, and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hormonal+changes" rel="tag">hormonal changes</a> also can cause the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/loss+of+hair" rel="tag">loss of hair</a>. For both men and women, there can be hair loss when there is always too much oily build up on the scalp.<br><br>With hair falling being much more prevalent in men than women, the hair loss of men are very often due to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/male+hormones" rel="tag">male hormones</a> of testosterone. With women, menopause can sometimes cause hair fall. Both of these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+loss+causes" rel="tag">hair loss causes</a> are also age related, and there is too, the genetic hereditary reason for the loss of hair with some men and even women in many cases. In some cases of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/losing+hair" rel="tag">losing hair</a> in women, pregnancy will trigger hair loss, but this does not happen with all pregnancies, and the hair loss is actually 3 to 6 months later after the baby is born due to the hormonal changes.<br><br>With all of the research that has been now done, there are several ways for the prevention with herbal products like root oils, hair stimulants for re-growth, and even hair loss support liquids. When it comes to the herbal <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+root" rel="tag">hair root</a> oil, the roots of the hair will not only help to treat dandruff, and nourish the scalp while also preventing more hair falls.<br><br>When it comes to the re-growth of the hair, there are some high quality herbal products that will stimulate the growth by the blocking of dihydrotestonstrone hormone. When this specific hormone can no longer be produced, the hair follicles will again be stimulated enough to grow the hair. Along with the herbal types of hair loss re-growth pills, there are also herbal liquids that are specially blended with other hair loss supplements that will dramatically reduce the loss of hair.<br><br>Dandruff is a scalp ailment that affects any age group but is more prominent in the age group of early 20s. The major myth associated with it is that it is a leading cause of hair loss but it has not been proven as yet. The main cause for the growth of dandruff is a fungal infection which makes the scalp shed skin at an excessive rate.<br><br>Although dead skin cells are shed by the scalp at a normal rate, the fungi infection accelerates the shedding causing embarrassing flakes of the skin to shed. Other symptoms include itchy, dryness and scaly growth on the skin.<bio>James Bird is writing for <a href="http://www.onestoptreatment.com">OneStopTreatment.com</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Do you have money to throw away? Today's medicines, whether over-the-counter or prescription, can take quite a bite out of your pocket book. Hospitals and clinics cost a lot of money. Hospitalization can be stressful financially as well as physically. Many people these days are turning to options that are more accessible and inexpensive. One of the most popular of the options is the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+remedy" rel="tag">home remedy</a>. <br /><br /> Home remedies are cures and treatments that are made from the things you probably already have in your house. Home remedies may or may not actually have medicinal properties that treat the ailments in question. Many of the more popular home remedies are used out of tradition. They may not always cure the disease -- sometimes they simply make you feel  better. <br /><br /> Remedies made at home are less expensive than other forms of medicine. They are relatively harmless compared to modern medicine, as they rarely cause harmful interactions or side effects. These natural cures have been used for generations to cure our <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/common+ailments" rel="tag">common ailments</a>. <br /><br /> Many people confuse home remedies with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/homeopathic+medicine" rel="tag">homeopathic medicine</a>. Aside from the fact that both are considered alternative forms of medicine, they are not related. Many homeopathic treatments work for no other reason than the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/placebo+effect" rel="tag">placebo effect</a>. They are nothing like natural remedies. <br /><br /> One of the most commonly used home remedy is chicken soup. Who hasn't enjoyed a nice hot bowl of chicken soup when they've had a cold or the flu? According to recent studies, chicken soup may be effective in treating these upper <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/respiratory+ailments" rel="tag">respiratory ailments</a> because it contains <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/neutrophil+chemotaxis" rel="tag">neutrophil chemotaxis</a>. This is a chemical that is effective in fighting infections and inflammation. <br /><br /> There are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+home+remedies" rel="tag">natural home remedies</a> out there for almost any disease or ailment you can think of. Most of the conditions that are treatable with home remedies are mild in severity. These include but are not limited to: yeast infection, acne, constipation, dandruff, abdominal pain, tooth ache, and headache. <br /><br /> The home remedy for a yeast infection, for example, combats the fungus (yeast) that is responsible for the infection. One treatment is to wash the infected area with apple cider vinegar. Yogurt can also be used in this manner, as it contains bacteria effective in fighting yeast. Drinking buttermilk is another popular way to cure a yeast infection. <br /><br /> Acne is a common complaint among teenagers, but affects adults as well. Home remedies can help to dry the acne up. One effective home remedy is to puree orange peel with a little bit of water and apply it to the acne. Cucumber leaves can also be used in the same manner. Even a raw clove of garlic rubbed across the acne can be effective. <br /><br /> Of the home remedies available for dandruff, the most popular is aloe vera gel. Aloe vera is good for your hair, too -- not just the scalp. Lime juice is also effective against dandruff. <br /><br /> Constipation is a very common complaint, and it has many home remedies. Most of these employ foods with laxative properties.  Everyone is familiar with the laxative effects of prunes, but were you aware that bale fruit is also helpful? Bale fruit cleans out the intestines and gets the contents of your intestines moving, providing constipation relief. For children and toddlers, an effective treatment for constipation is bran cereal. Eating guava is also an effective treatment. <br /><br /> Home remedies are made from natural ingredients, so they are generally safe and usually won't harm you. For treatment of ailments that are not dangerous, home remedies can provide you the relief you need safely and inexpensively.   <bio>Patricia Davis contributes to several web magazines, including <a href="http://top-healthy.com" >http://top-healthy.com</a> and <a href="http://pesud.com" >http://pesud.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/systemic+yeast+infections" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/systemic+yeast+infection" rel="tag">Systemic yeast infection</a>s</a> or candida may well be the unknown epidemic of the day and are most often caused by the use of antibiotics. Systemic yeast infections (fungus) are extremely difficult to detect and kill. New information about the underlying cause of yeast infection -- a relatively new branch of medical science -- is discovering that chronic intestinal and systemic yeast infections are at the root of a host of medical problems including chronic fatigue, allergies, chronic infections, and many, many others. And, as you might expect, these intestinal and systemic yeast infections are also the source of other recurrent and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chronic+yeast" rel="tag">chronic yeast</a> infection conditions such as dandruff and vaginal yeast infection. <br /><br /> It is speculated that 80%-90% of the population is affected by a candida or a systemic yeast infection (men, women and children). If you are very disciplined you may have even tried the infamous <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/candida+diet" rel="tag">candida diet</a>, which attempts to "starve" the candida by depriving it of the foods that are easily converted to the sugar that feeds systemic yeast infections (Low Carb or the GI). Many diseases are often misdiagnosed in humans when the actual underlying cause is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/candida+albicans" rel="tag">Candida Albicans</a> (a systemic yeast infection). Some of the diseases a systemic yeast infection can cause are:arthritis, gout, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chronic+fatigue+syndrome" rel="tag">chronic fatigue syndrome</a>, fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, crohns disease,irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, allergies, acid reflux, arteriosclerosis, psoriasis, eczema, roscea, hives, acne, dandruff, depression. Most of these diseases are of an "unknown" cause. <br /><br /> If your doctor thinks you have a systemic yeast infection, a blood, stool or tissue sample will be tested for the fungus. If your doctor determines that you have a systemic yeast infection, you may get intravenous doses of amphotericin or flucytosine. To combat systemic yeast infection one may use enzymes, which work specifically to help the body return to balance and helps in combating <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/candida+yeast" rel="tag">Candida yeast</a>, as well as cleaning out toxins from the body, re-establishing good bacteria and pushing out the yeast and also enables the person to eat better foods. They play a crucial role in combating systemic yeast infection by flushing out the dying Candida yeast toxins out of the body and free radicals at the level of cells. Similar to other types of yeast infections, systemic yeast infection usually occur secondary to anything that weakens the body's natural barrier against colonizing organisms. The diseases and problems of systemic yeast infections can be quite varied as well as life threatening. <br /><br /> Treatment <br /><br /> Consult your practitioner before beginning or making changes to your diet, supplements, exercise program, diagnosis or treatment of illness or injuries and for advice regarding medications. Systemic yeast infections are unaffected by antibiotics and are able to thrive and take over the body and, as the yeast gets into new territories, it entrenches itself and will continue doing so and makes further advances until some treatment is taken to control and eliminate it. <br /><br /> Fortunately, there is an effective oral treatment option for the treatment of yeast infections. Treat your yeast infection with a single oral dose of Diflucan, the most effective yeast infection treatment. In a recent survey of some 179 women who have used both Diflucan and vaginally inserted creams, 9 out of ten women preferred Diflucan for the treatment of yeast infections. Unlike previous treatment options were messy inserted creams had to be applied, Diflucan offers a one time pill that is just as effective as the seven day application of a cream.   <bio>Brian McQuirk For a FAST, all natural cure for yeast infection in as little as 12 hours go to our site at <a href="http://yeast.bestbizz.com" >http://yeast.bestbizz.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Your hair speaks volumes about the person that you are. It's <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/arguably" rel="tag">arguably</a> one of the most important parts of personal appearance, and in this article, we'll relay some tips on how to keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant. <br /><br /> - Few realize exactly how important a proper diet is to the health of their hair. For one, it is important to ensure that your body is getting all the iron that it needs. Iron is a mineral that helps hair to grow, and you may experience hair loss if you're not getting enough Another important nutrient when it comes to healthy hair is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vitamin+c" rel="tag">Vitamin C</a>. Vitamin C is important when it comes to helping the body to absorb the iron that you consume, so these two compounds work in tandem to keep your hair in good health. <br /><br /> - Another area of precaution that needs to be considered is the amount of damage that you do to your hair through coloring and dying it. Using <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrogen+peroxide" rel="tag">hydrogen peroxide</a> to 'bleach' the hair can have drastic results when it comes to the health of the hair. Hair that is too heavily stripped by peroxide may feel brittle and may even break when mussed with. If you are planning on dying your hair, be sure that you want to color your hair in that way for a long period of time - repeated coloring is what can cause the most damage. <br /><br /> - <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff" rel="tag">Dandruff</a> can be a very embarrassing problem. In order to keep your scalp as dandruff-free as possible, you're going to want to shampoo your hair daily, unless your scalp is extremely dry. There are special medicated shampoos available which can reduce the amount of dandruff that you experience. <br /><br /> - <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/split+ends" rel="tag">Split ends</a> are another headache when it comes to hair care. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/surprisingly" rel="tag">Surprisingly</a> enough, one of the best solutions for solving a problem with split ends is to cut the split part of the hair off! To do it at home, you're going to want to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/grab" rel="tag">grab</a> a small amount of hair and slowly twist it. The split ends of the hair should stick out, and you'll be able to trim them to your liking. <br /><br /> Now that you know a lot more about maintaining healthy and beautiful hair, you'll be able to impress others with your lustrous locks.   <bio>Kadence Buchanan writes articles for <a href="http://letstalkaboutbeauty.com/" >http://letstalkaboutbeauty.com/</a> - In addition, Kadence also writes articles for <a href="http://moviestelevisionandmore.com/" >http://moviestelevisionandmore.com/</a> and <a href="http://learntobecloser.com/" >http://learntobecloser.com/</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hair+loss" rel="tag">Hair loss</a> is the main concern of many youngsters these days and many of them seek many measures to arrest it. While the length, thickness of the hair is attributed to inheritance, hair loss has its own causes and may differ in its <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/profundity" rel="tag">profundity</a>. <br /><br /> Hair loss can be caused by any one of these factors: <br /><br /> =95 Poor maintenance of hair and scalp <br /><br /> =95 Dandruff <br /><br /> =95 Climatic conditions <br /><br /> =95 Health status <br /><br /> =95 Nutrition <br /><br /> =95 Stress <br /><br /> Now lets examine how each of these contribute to hair loss: <br /><br /> =95 Poor maintenance of hair and scalp: <br /><br /> Now this deals with the importance that each person gives to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/personal+hygiene" rel="tag">personal hygiene</a> and grooming. Hair and scalp if not properly washed and groomed, can lead to hair loss. The scalp must be cleaned in regular intervals using a mild shampoo. Certain tips must be followed while maintaining those tresses. <br /><br /> The golden rules are: <br /><br /> - Never wring hair after a wash. <br /><br /> - Never comb wet hair. <br /><br /> - Wiping the hair dry gently with a soft towel. <br /><br /> - Using the dryer <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/judiciously" rel="tag">judiciously</a> (excessive usage may lead to increased hair loss combined with change in texture) <br /><br /> - To remove tangles, the hair must be combed from the bottom to the top. <br /><br /> - The scalp must be ideally lubricated, using hair oil (coconut). This makes combing easier (therefore hair loss is reduced). <br /><br /> - Using a scarf beneath a helmet will also absorb sweat and prevent damage to hair. <br /><br /> - Excessive usage of chemicals such as dyes, colours, sprays, gels, will lead to increased hair loss. <br /><br /> =95 Dandruff: <br /><br /> This may be due to several reasons and presence of dandruff leads to hair loss. Using anti <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dandruff+shampoos" rel="tag">dandruff shampoos</a> and proper maintenance can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/control+dandruff" rel="tag">control dandruff</a>. However if the problem persists, it is advisable that a dermatologist may be consulted for treatment. <br /><br /> =95 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/climatic+changes" rel="tag">Climatic changes</a>: <br /><br /> Change in climate may have different effects on hair. Hair loss increases during winter, where hair tips tends to split up. The hair also becomes dry, which turns the hair brittle. Oiling the hair can control this. However, during summer, sweat attracts a lot of dirt, and people who are often exposed to dust pollution, are prone to increased hair loss. Hair needs to be washed more frequently in these cases. <br /><br /> =95 Health Status: <br /><br /> It is always said that the health of a person is reflected by the health of his hair. Hair loss increases during illnesses such as Typhoid, Cancer, AIDS. Women experience increased hair loss during child labour. When treatments are taken for certain health conditions such as Cancer (Chemotherapy), hair loss is profound and is caused due to the drugs that are consumed. <br /><br /> =95 Nutrition: <br /><br /> Hair is made up of a protein called Keratin and the growth of hair requires the supply of nutrients and a balanced diet. The diet must ideally consist of lots of proteins and vitamins, which provides the health to the hair. Water must be had aplenty. Popular Grandmother remedies include the use of dates and curry leaves in one's diet, which supplies the necessary iron. <br /><br /> =95 Stress: <br /><br /> Stress is one of the main culprits of hair loss.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The greatest enemy of healthy hair is dandruff. This is a problem which worries many women, and experts reckon that one in every three suffer from it. If there is the slightest sign of this, deal with it without delay. Fortuna=ADtely, these days there are a number of excellent prepara=ADtions available in the market for curing it. Besides the anti=ADdandruff creams, lotions, oils and shampoos available in the market, there are many simple house hold remedies to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fight+dandruff" rel="tag">fight dandruff</a> described below: <br /><br /> (1) Mix two tablespoons of cosmetic <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vinegar" rel="tag">vinegar</a> and six tablespoons of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hot+water" rel="tag">hot water</a>. Dab with cotton into the scalp, parting the hair with a comb apply all over the scalp. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/preferably" rel="tag">Preferably</a> it should be used at bed time. Tie a scarf over the hair to avoid staining the pillow. Next morning wash the hair with shampoo. After the hair is thoroughly clean=ADsed pour over as a last rinse a mixture of three tablespoons of cosmetic vinegar and one cup of hot water. Then dry the hair thoroughly. This should be done twice a week for three months. <br /><br /> (2) <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hot+oil" rel="tag">Hot oil</a> therapy is another method to cure dand=ADruff. Massage hot oil into the scalp at bedtime. Next morning an hour before bath, rub lemon juice mixed with cosmetic vinegar (mix 1: 2 ratio) into the scalp. Give the hair a good wash with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/egg+shampoo" rel="tag">egg shampoo</a>. <br /><br /> Egg shampoo is one of the oldest beauty recipes. Eggs are full of protein. Simply wash your hair with egg. Beat up one or two eggs with a cup of water and thoro=ADughly massage this into your wet hair for about five to ten minutes. Rinse off thoroughly and remember not to use hot water. There is another method to use egg shampoo. Simply beat one egg in a cup of water and mix to it 1 to 2 tablespoons shampoo. Do not worry about which shampoo has to be used. As a last rinse use the juice of one lemon in a cup of hot water. Continue this complete treatment once a week for three months, then once a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fortnight" rel="tag">fortnight</a> for the next two months. <br /><br /> (3) Give your hair a hundred strokes every night with a brush or comb. Remember that the root of each hair is the sebaceous gland that supplies oil to keep each hair soft and gleaming. Press .the bristles of the brush against the scalp to exercise and squeeze the tiny oil reservoirs. The oil sac automatically start distributing natural scalp oil to each hair strand. Take the hair brush from the root of the hair to the very end of the hair so that the oil is carried to each individual hair tip. Avoid as far as possi=ADble wire bristles, because wire breaks the hair and gives it a ragged look. It is important that combs and brushes be kept clean. Add a few drops of ammonia to water and clean combs and brushes. Brushing moulds the hair, makes it more manageable and gives it a prettier gloss. Hair should be brushed or combed gently and lightly when -wet as there is a danger of its being stretched and weakened. <br /><br /> (4) Give your hair a hot steam bath. Massage hot oil with a hot damp towel and leave it on the head like a turban so that the steam can fight dandruff. You may use two towels for this purpose. <br /><br /> (5) Here is another beauty tip for your hair. After giving your hair a good wash, boil five teaspoons of dried used tea leaves in lime water and use it as a last rinse after shampoo. This gives the hair a lustrous shine and provides nourishment too.   <bio>Author's sites: <a href="http://www.healtharticles-lk.com" >http://www.healtharticles-lk.com</a> , <a href="http://www.herbalremedieslk.com" >http://www.herbalremedieslk.com</a> ,  <a href="http://www.home-remedies-for-heartburn.com" >http://www.home-remedies-for-heartburn.com</a>   </bio>]]></content:encoded>
