How to dry hair without damage to it

how to dry hair without damage it

The first step towards getting healthy hair without damaging it from your drying process is to start with washing your hair with a hydrating shampoo, then condition it with a smoothing conditioner. When your hair has been rinsed from the products it should be wrapped in a towel and squeezed until access moisture is absorbed into the towel. Remove the towel and continue squeezing your hair gently DO NOT RUB, if you rub your hair it will 'rough up' the cuticles and damage it.

When most of the excess moisture is out of your hair you need to carefully comb it through with a wide toothed comb, starting at the ends of your hair and work towards the roots very gently easing out any tangles, if your hair is very tangled then spray on some de-tangling spray or rub a 10p sized amount of conditioner on the palms of your hands and carefully run your fingers through from root to tip. When your hair has been combed through then you can use your hair-dryer to dry it. Try to use a protection spray to protect your hair from the heat of the hairdryer if possible, as the heat from the hair-dryer will damage your hair.

Start by separating your hair into sections and clipping the sections up and then one by one dry it section by section, putting your hair dryer on a cool setting or if you have a hair dryer with no cool setting available then put it on the slowest and coolest possible. Using a large round brush carefully wrap the hair section round the brush and aim the hair dryer down your hair to flatten the cuticles and enhance shine. Do not be tempted to just put your head upside down and blast your hair dryer into your head as that will rough up the cuticles of your hair and undo all your good work at the washing stage. Dry one section then pin it out of the way then dry another section until all sections are just dry, then let down all the sections you have dried and then carefully brush through with the hairdryer still blowing downwards until your hair is fully dry.

A good tip to keep your hair looking shiny and protect from damage from the environment e.g sun/pollution is to smooth on some serum. If you follow these simple steps your hair will be bouncy and shiny with no damage caused.

Hair Loss Simple Treatment

hair loss treatment
So you are getting to the middle age when your body starts falling apart, or off as the case may be. Because of this you aren't as good at sports as you used to be, the opposite sex doesn't find you nearly as attractive as you used to be, and your family ask you if you are ok, whenever they look at you because they think that you look ill. Well there's hope lads, not for the sports, but at least for the hair! That's right, there is good hair loss treatment options that will halt hair loss right in its tracks so that you can at least look like you are still the man (or at least not sick).

So why do you lose your hair in the first place? Well a great question with a complicated answer. Maybe I can dumb it down for you though. The first thing is that there is not a lot that can do on your own to change your genes (though there are hair loss treatment options that can disrupt the work of these genes). Yeah that's right this is another one of those pesky familial things, and no it's not that you wore your hat too much or picked the wrong hair gel.

The other thing that should at least make you feel better is that your going bald is not a result of you losing your manhood. In fact losing your hair is because you are a little to much of a man if you know what I am saying. Testosterone is what give you hair in all the places that you don't want it and in a slightly different form makes you lose it from the one place that you want it the most--your head. Testosterone is actually reduced to dihydroxy testosterone (DHT) which acts on the hair progenitor cells to shut down DNA replication and bring hair growth to a screeching halt. This process is mediated by an enzyme called alpha-1-reductase. It is the action of this enzyme that is inhibited by certain forms of hair loss treatment. These drugs keep the testosterone in its original form thereby stopping the action of DHT on the cells responsible for hair growth. These drugs work great unless you are an Olympic athlete where they are banned because they have been used by cheaters as cover up for performance enhancing drugs. They say it takes sacrifice to be an elite athlete and they mean it!

Do not expose your hair to heat. Be it sunlight or hot water or hair dryer. Never comb the hair when it is wet.

If you are wondering, "how to grow your hair faster?", then simply make an exercise routine and stick to it. If you exercise everyday, it will improve your blood circulation. Increased blood flow to the scalp is bound to stimulate hair growth. Another benefit of exercising is that it helps in keeping stress at bay.

The liver and kidneys are considered the foundation of blood and essence, according to traditional Chinese. Confirmed by clinical trials, at least one benefit of he shou wu is a hair loss treatment. 60% of individuals taking the herb experienced hair re-growth within three months.

Green tea is also said to have properties that can promote hair growth in women. Some studies suggest that consumption of green tea helps in reducing the levels of testosterone in the blood stream of women, thereby reducing the rate of hair fall. So, it is considered as one of the herbal remedies for hair loss.

A simple adjustment to your lifestyle may have positive impact on your overall health.

Sometime, by letting go may gain you new perspectives.

Put a few drops of vinegar into warm water. Rinse your hair with the water. Vinegar is thought to have a normalizing effect on the scalp's oil glands and pH level as well as having a strong cleansing effect. This practice can prevent hair loss and help hair grow healthier and thicker.
