The Causes of Baldness Are Several

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

The causes of baldness are several and most of the time are enriched by fallacy. However nearly all of the top five causes of hair loss have been well proved. Age could be without doubt the core factor that causes hair loss and balding in view of the fact that it concerns human hormones and weakens the human immune procedure. Illness and more exactly fungal infectivity or sarcoma of the head-skin, definitely harm hair, although this is not irrevocable. Inheritance is a reason of hair loss in a little number of persons as tight braiding, or poor diet. Hair products if not tested or if extremely packed with chemical elements, can fatally harm the sculp. Magazines are filled with myths of the potential origin of baldness and its affiliation with sex, chromosomes, intelligence, anxiety, food habits and hats. A few of these tradition have a good portion of technical facts. Most are entirely element of the baldness legends that diverge from countries. Baldness can be genetic from your mum’s ancestors. Reports suggest that the chromosome for the androgen receptor, which is considerable in activating hair damage is located on the mum’s chromosome and and so is genetic from the maternal family side. As a matter of fact is a fifty % probability that a human being shares the similar X gene similar to their maternal grandpa – which means 50 percent of possibilities that these is delivered to the masculine children. But, study has also underlined that someone with a balding father has as well a bigger opportunity of having troubles with hairlessness.emotional activity or psychological problems can activate hair loss. This may perhaps be linked to the statement that in the ancient cultures if a individual was bald it was likely that he was accustomed to an adequate quantity of food during his daily diet. Emotional trauma has been shown to trigger hairlessness in individuals.Stress due to sleep deprivation reduce testosterone levels, but is not distinguished to have initiated directly baldness.

What Causes Female Hair Loss?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

While there are many culprits to blame balding on, there are several key factors to examine when determining the reason for a woman’s loss of hair. Stress, pregnancy, medications, hormonal problems, and thyroid disease are some of the most common causes of hair loss in women. Have you been under a lot of stress lately? Are you pregnant or taking medications? Is your hair loss minimal or excessive? In order to find a solution to your hair loss problem, you have to ask yourself these questions. Your family physician may be able to target the cause and find an easy solution for you.

Illness

Your body has a way of telling you when something is wrong. This is not to say that all hair-loss experiences determine that you’re ill. You may be perfectly healthy. Nevertheless, hair-loss and balding can and should be taken as a serious warning. You should consult your family physician and go for any necessary tests and/or procedures that he/she may recommend.

Did you know that hormonal imbalances can be the cause of your hair loss? This is very correctible with medications and/or estrogen shots. Your hair-loss is very likely to stop once the problem is treated. Women’s thyroid glands, that are overactive or underactive, commonly ‘warn’ the body of possible thyroid disease. The body will shed hair as a result of this ‘warning.’ Since hair loss has been noted as a an early sign of many diseases, it’s important to find the cause so doctors can find a solution.

Pregnancy

Many women experience hair loss approximately two or three 3 months after they’ve delivered their babies. This loss form of hair-loss is directly related to hormones. During a woman’s pregnancy, high levels of specific hormones can cause the female body to retain hair that (under normal circumstances) would normally fall out. When a pregnant woman’s hormones return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels, that retained hair falls out. Although it may seem odd, it’s usually nothing to worry about, as the hair will grow back in a short period of time.

Young Women

The most common cause of hair-loss in teenage women is stress. Nevertheless, stress is not the only cause. Hair loss in young women can also be a warning sign of the following: Infection, poor hygiene habits, excessive dye in hair, medication intake, lupus, and or diabetes.

Improper Care of Hair

Tight pony-tails, pigtails, braids, cornrows, and curlers can cause a type of her loss known as Alopecia. If scarring occurs on the delicate skin on your scalp, your hair may never grow back. Scarring, unfortunately, results in permanent hair loss. How does this ’scarring’ occur, you may ask. Hot oil treatment, chemicals for perms, bleach, and metallic dyes may cause inflammation to the hair follicles on your scalp. These inflammations, which first appear as swelling, often turn into scars. The final result can be hair-loss.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

In fact, many women fail to even notice that they are losing hair until they realize that their ponytail is thinner than it used to be.

Stress is a fairly common cause of hair loss in women. With more and more women who try to juggle family with full-time work, who try to be everything to everyone, stress is an everyday condition for many women. Women may also find that their hair thins during periods of extreme stress, such as after childbirth or during a family tragedy. You can’t always control the amount of stress in your life, but you can take steps to reduce your stress, such as scheduling relaxation time for yourself.

Women are also much more likely to have over-processed their hair. In addition to daily styling, hair drying, and the use of styling products, many women color or highlight their hair. This can result in thinning or even loss of hair, as the chemicals used in these processes finally have their effect. Even everyday products, such as shampoo and conditioner, can contain chemicals that can ultimately harm your hair and scalp. Add to this increasing levels of pollution in the air, and you can easily see how chemicals can begin to affect your hair’s health.

Enter organic products, or products grown without chemicals or pesticides. It has long been recognized that it is healthier to avoid ingesting excessive levels of hormones, pesticides, or other chemicals used in growing. Now, however, more and more household products can be found in organic or natural forms. Food, coffee, bath products, and even cleaning products are now available from organic sources. Yet even those who recognize that eliminating chemical elements from food is important, sometimes fail to realize that all natural hair care products can also improve your health.

With soap, bubble bath, toothpaste, and nearly every skin or hair care product available organically, you can now take steps to ensure that your hair, scalp, and skin are as healthy as possible by using all-natural products.

Pam Lange Products offers a complete line of affordable all-natural hair restoration products designed to help regain hair health. For more information on these 100% organic products, please visit http://www.PamLangeProducts.com.

You’re Right to an Abundant Life

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

We are all part of the universe. The universe is a living, breathing thing. I use the word “thing” because there is no other way to describe it. It is not animal, vegetable or mineral; it is all of these things. It is the creation and the substance of all life.

We are all part of the universe and the universe is part of us. Without the universe life is dead. Without life the universe is dead. Everything is inter-connected. We take for granted that the sun will rise, that the waters will flow and that vegetation will grow in abundance all over our world. Without sun or water, life could not survive. We need both of these things to produce the vegetation that is life and that life survives upon.

For example, take an Oak tree. It starts its life as a seed. Over the years it grows and grows. It may take one hundred years to reach its full potential but eventually it does. It does this through self-growth, it obtains all it needs and requirements to develop its growth from the natural elements that surround it. The sun, the water and the minerals that surround, and are within the earth.

All animals are also entitled to this natural growth. They need exactly the same natural components of life to survive. There is of course one big difference between the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom animals have brains. This very sophisticated organ allows all animals to survive by using a thought process. Although admittedly in some animals it has developed to a much higher degree of awareness and intelligence then in others.

Let us now look at this in further detail.

In some animals there brains are there just to control there bodily functions. In other words to breath, walk, run and find food. Then there is the next group that have learned to communicate, have learned to live and work together. The dog family for example will work in a pack to catch there pray. Many other groups of animals have learnt how to be both cunning and patient and use these principals to catch there pray. No matter what there degree of intelligence all animals have the in-built instinct to survive.

So what about Human Beings – Man? The most intelligent animal of all.

What strange animals we are. We have the most sophisticated brain of the entire animal kingdom. Our brains are so far advanced compared to the rest of the animals on this earth and we are still only using a fraction of our brains capabilities. We can build unbelievable machines, marvellous buildings, send satellites into space, and communicate with each other in real time anywhere in the world. But somehow we have lost our basic instincts – the instinct to survive our right to have an abundant life.

Without mans interference there would be an abundance of wildlife, of flowers and trees. It is the law of nature the law of the universe that everything should be in abundance. There are millions of planets; there are thousands of species and sub-species of both animals, plants, fish even bacteria. It’s a fact that bacteria are the most prolific of all life forms, although on an intelligence level it is one of the lowest. Bacterium is in abundance it can be found and will grow and multiply anywhere.

So if everything on this earth is in such abundance. If everything on earth is meant to grow and expand and is entitled by the law of the universe to do so. Why are so many people not obtaining an abundant life?

Look: it’s as simple as this.

If life is in abundance and if everything that sustains life is in abundance, does that not mean you are entitled to some of it?

The earth will never run-out of recourses either natural or un-natural.

We will never run-out of water, food or minerals. We will always find a way of generating power. If coal runs out we can always use oil or nuclear power. We are at this present time investigating better ways to harness wind power. There is always enough food available in the world to feed every single person on Earth. Although the distribution of this food comes down to political matters. In the third world people starve in the modern world we throw food away. The truth is. If we could all work together there is enough food for everyone, and there always will be. It’s the Law of the Universe.

Consequently there will always be an abundance of un-natural recourses. We will never run out of business opportunities. We will never run out of money. There are billions and billions available. If you just want 1 million of it do you really think it is going to run out? Do you really believe that one day someone is going to say, sorry; the world has run out of money? Of course not. It is in abundance and you are entitled to some of it. It is your natural right.

The problem with people as a whole is that many have lost their natural instinct to survive. We live in a world of dreams. The media work very hard to convince us that we need more. We can’t do without a new car or a new TV. We need the latest technology.

The truth is we all fall into this trap. I am sitting here writing this book on a computer that has enough memory to play any game. I have a 3D graphics card, a 17″ monitor, 2 DVD re-writers and my operating system is Windows XP. The truth is I don’t play games on my computer. To write this book all I actually need is a low powered computer with a very basic word processing program that could easily be run on Windows 95. But no. The large marketing machine has convinced me that what I have is what I need. In fact the commercials are now telling me that what I have is out of date and I need to update quickly or else I am going to get left behind in the technology stakes.

You see the marketing dream machine traps us all. We work just to get the latest gadgets, the latest designer clothes. Furthermore we get into debt just to get these items of desire.

A world of NEED >NEED >NEED.

A world of GET >GET >GET.

A world of WANT >WANT >WANT.

We are so obsessed with our dreams that we have forgotten or lost our basic animal instincts of survival.

You NEED to re-learn how to use your basic instincts of survival to GET what you WANT. What you are entitled to.

The basic instinct of survival is in all living things and all living things are inter-connected. All animals survive by taking water and nutrients from there environment. If an animal cannot adapt to its environment it will die. This is why you find totally different species in a rain forest compared to a desert.

You must realise that you will never own anything material in this life, you are purely the keeper of it. You may be thinking, that’s all very well but I own my home and I own my TV.

I am sorry but you don’t, you are purely the keeper of these things.

Think about it.

Do you own money? No, you earn money by taking it from someone else. Through offering them your labour or supplying them with a product.
Do you own your home? No, you either rent it, of have given money for it. The money you have taken from someone else. When you move home you will sell it to someone else. They will buy it with money they have taken from someone. If you were to die your home would be given to your benefactor. If they were to sell it they would have taken the money from you. From there point of view, from someone else.

Can you see what I am trying to explain to you? Everything in the material world revolves around having money. This money is in abundance but you have to take it from someone to get your hands on it. Other people will then try to take it from you. That’s why I say you are purely the keeper; you will never actually own it, in the true sense of the word.

Where all the other species of the animal kingdom use there basic survival instincts to find food, you need to use this survival instinct to find money. Because to survive in this materialistic world you need money and because whatever you need to survive by the laws of the universe are always in abundance you are entitled to this money.

Vitamins for Hair Growth

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Hair loss or baldness is caused mainly due to the lack of Vitamin B supplements. Vitamin B5 contains pantothenic acid and B3 (niacin that is vital for hair growth). B6 is equally important to the body, as it contains the nutrients of zinc, sulfur, magnesium and biotin.

An interesting fact about Vitamin B: Certain experiments were conducted with rats and they were fed with food that lacked magnesium supplements. It was found that they lost their hair in bunches and when they were provided with a low biotin diet they turned hairless. But to the surprise of all, their hair returned when they were fed with food rich in Vitamin B. Similar studies were conducted on men and it was found that Vitamin B enriches the quality of hair.

The body also requires Vitamin A. Fatty acids such as primrose oil, flaxseed oil or salmon oil need to be consumed for enhancing hair growth.

Vitamin E is meant for stimulating the oxygen intake in the body and improves the blood circulation. If there is proper blood circulation, hair growth is enhanced.
Vitamin C assists the normal functioning of capillaries that carries the blood to the scalp. Even zinc is an important supplement, which should be consumed as it assists hair growth.

Biotin is necessary for hair growth. There are many sources of biotin such as brewer’s yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. It is present in some shampoos, so you can use shampoos, which contain biotin. It is advised to consult a physician before taking any vitamins or medications for hair growth.

Hair Loss – Getting to the Roots

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Everyday we shed hair regardless of age or how healthy our hair is, just the same as we shed skin. Most of us fortunately never have any problems with noticeable hair loss, but then there are an ever increasing amount of us that do experience the almost ‘nightmare’ of losing our hair at all different ages. Once hair has been lost it is normally replaced in a reasonable amount of time, but it is only when the hair is not replaced for whatever reason that may be, that the loss of hair starts to become noticeable.

There are many myths of hair loss as usual, just as there are with any medical condition, but there are numerous known contributors to hair loss, that are present in most of our lives. Excessive bleaching and colouring of your hair and the constant use of products that are full of chemicals can be detrimental for your hair’s condition. The process of aging can have the effect of hair loss even if you have lived a stress free healthy life, and can cause you to search for hair loss treatment.

Most drugs whether they have been prescribed by doctors or taken for recreational purposes can not only have an effect on practically all of your bodily functions, and lot term effect on your body mentally and physically, but can also contribute to the loss of hair at all stages of life. Any type of skin infection or hormonal imbalance with women can influence the loss of hair, and so can any illness that has taken a hard toll on your body.

One of the most common thoughts of hair loss is down to stress, and working a lot of hours and spending most of your working week stressed up to your eyeballs, and not been able to distress before you commence with another stressful day at work seems to contribute to a lot of hair loss across the nation. A simply remedy to this is work less hours, or do not let your work stress you up as much. This is quite often easy to say, and very difficult to put into practice.

Selecting an Anti-Aging Treatment Routine

Selecting an Anti-Aging Treatment Routine

To help slow down the effects of aging, you need to understand why the skin wrinkles, sags, and loses the vitality it possesses during youthful days. The simplest explanation for this condition is due to the fact that as the body ages, the skin cells and tissues fail to produce enough important structural proteins, specifically collagens and elastins, which are responsible for making the skin firm and elastic.

• First of all, human body is generally comprised of 70% water. It may appear that this is a frequently used advice offered by the experts and even non-experts, but drinking enough amount of water everyday is actually fundamental. Keeping your body hydrated is one key to keeping your skin young and clean. Most experts recommend drinking eight glasses of water in a daily basis enough for a good skin hydration.

• Short exposure to sunlight can be beneficial to your health and skin; however it is different story when it is a long exposure. While sun rays provide vitamin D, too much exposure provides harmful UV rays as well; therefore becoming very detrimental to your skin. So when outside, always avoid the sunlight or use good sunscreen or sun blocks to protect your skin.

Does Shaving Set A Fire In Your Armpits?

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

Unless you live in France or some other foreign country, where it’s accepted that females aren’t shaving their armpits, it’s kind of an unspoken rule that once you have hair in your armpits, you need to start shaving it.

At least in western societies, females are considered uncouth or even unkempt/unclean if they’re not shaving their armpits.

Just consider the type of negative press any female well known in the media gets if/when it’s revealed she’s not shaving her armpits. Remember that shot of Julia Roberts with her arm raised exposing a tuft of dark hair? No matter how much we adore Julia – On some level, this tarnished her “clean” image.

You may disagree with this and you may even be justified to take exception to society dictating how you look, but the truth remains that if you aren’t shaving your armpits, you’re a bit of an outcast.

I don’t know about you, but I believe there are much more important issues to deal with, like stopping the use of animals for testing cosmetic products, protecting children from abuse, preventing domestic violence of all types, caring better for our elderly citizens, right down to cleaning up and preserving our planet, to name a few … That are much more important than whether or not I have to be shaving my armpits.

I have a good friend who often reminds me, “Choose your battles wisely”. Which means we all need to decide what issues are really important enough to fight for. Frankly, not shaving my armpits is not one of them.

Politics aside – It remains that shaving our armpits is a “necessary evil”, if you will, of living in this privileged society.

So – The issue becomes, what’s the best way of removing hair from our armpits?

I haven’t heard it recommended that females use a depilatory to remove under arm hair. Probably because the chemicals are too harsh for this sensitive skin and there’s a rumor that these chemicals can be easily absorbed in this area.

Nor have I heard about females having their armpit hair waxed. And honestly, I have to plead ignorance as to why not. There are probably a host of females who are having it done, I just haven’t come across any information about it in my research.

That brings us back to shaving our armpits.

And while that sounds simple enough, as with most things, there’s a catch.

It’s called a wet razor. The shaving tool introduced to me when it came my time to start shaving my armpits.

Unfortunately, no one instructed me about the proper ways to start shaving my armpits with a wet razor, so the majority of my life I just suffered the fire under my arms for the first couple of days after shaving.

One thing I don’t understand – In my research, I’ve seen it suggested, repeatedly, that you can use a white stick deodorant to limit skin abrasions after shaving. Yeah right -

It’s a well known fact, (and common sense should tell you), and if all else fails – Just read the back of any deodorant … The last thing you want to do after, “scraping”, your skin raw with a razor is apply a strong, chemical based substance.

Hello …

Instead, just dust your armpits with a talc free powder, or maybe a little cornstarch. Both of these work great on a baby’s bottom to prevent diaper rashes, so you know they’ll work to put out the fire of shaving your armpits.

Better yet – You could do some research and find out about newer, safer shaving tools to help you stop setting a fire when shaving your armpits.

I haven’t had a fire from shaving my armpits for years. And let me tell you – What a relief.

Laser Skin Enhancements

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Ah, the joys of modern technology. Plastic surgery benefits from our advances in technology just like any other industry or medical field. This brings us to the subject of laser skin enhancements.

If you think you might be in need of a procedure to rejuvenate your face and restore your youthful appearance, you might be considering facial plastic surgery. However, for some individuals, surgical intervention is not the proper choice due to medical conditions or the particulars of your situation. In such cases, laser skin enhancements offers corrective solutions not previously available.

A laser skin enhancement is performed by plastic surgeons using advanced laser technology. The laser is strong enough to burn the first layer of dead tissue and a few living cells on the surface of the skin, but does not affect the other layers of skin tissue. The laser also reaches down to the underlying collagen. Instead of removing the collagen, the heat results in a reduction of the collagen. This reduction results in the tightening up of the collagen and skin giving the patient a less wrinkled look. In practical terms, laser skin enhancements give you a bit of a lift and peel at the same time.

A laser enhancement is not the best procedure for all facial concerns. It does not work well on areas such as deep creases in the neck and cheek, creases around the lips and the upper eyelids. For smaller, fine lines and light wrinkles, however, it can be a less invasive choice than surgery. There are many advantages to choosing the laser procedure. There is less recovery time, general anesthesia is generally not necessary, and there is very little blood loss. There are also normally no scars following the procedure.

There are some potential side effects to having laser enhancements as there are with any cosmetic surgery. The recovery takes about ten days during which you can have very sensitive skin with some weeping. During this period, you will see a progression of skin color from red to pink to normal. There can also be a permanent lightening of the area treated, which can be a problem for some dark skin individuals. It is also not recommended for people looking to remove large quantities of skin or who have severe facial damage due to sun or age. If you are such a patient, laser enhancements can help but will not be a total solution.

Laser skin enhancements are a popular alternative to traditional facial surgeries. Make sure to speak with your doctor to find out your options and whether this surgery is appropriate for you.
