Essential vitamins and minerals for hair growth

ESSENTIAL VITAMINS 

For healthy hair growth, it is necessary to have enough of vitamin C, B vitamins such as Biotin (also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H) and Niacin (Vitamin B3). Foods such as sweet red peppers, guavas and dark green leafy kale contain very high amounts of Vitamin C. Foods such as the dark leafy green Swiss chard, carrots, and nuts including almonds and walnuts, are all naturally high in Vitamin B7. Niacin (Vitamin B3) is found in fish such as tuna and salmon, poultry (chicken and turkey), roasted peanuts and mushrooms. All of these vitamins – Vitamin C, Vitamin B7 (Biotin) and Vitamin B3 (Niacin) have been proven to help promote healthy hair growth and reduce hair loss.

ESSENTIAL MINERALS

Iron and Zinc are two minerals that promote healthy hair growth. Iron-rich foods are lean meats, spinach, chicken and beans or lentils. Iron is an essential mineral that has several important roles in the body including helping to make red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body to all the cells. Hair loss can be one of the visible symptoms of anemia, or Iron deficiency. But even if you are not anemic, you may have low Iron levels that are affecting your health and may result in thinning hair. Seek medical advice if you believe you have low Iron levels. Foods naturally rich in Zinc include seafood, beef and lamb, wheat germ (toasted), spinach and pumpkin seeds. A diet rich in the minerals Iron and Zinc will help nourish hair from the inside out. If you do not have enough of the minerals in your diet to promote hair growth, consider taking dietary supplements for hair growth, including Iron, Zinc, Biotin, Niacin, Vitamin C and an exclusive marine complex derived from fish proteins. 

How does sleep affect your hairs ??

Sleep is the body’s natural restoration period, the time when it rejuvenates and repairs itself. When this suffers, our hair can too. Without enough shut-eye, our tresses simply won’t grow as thick or as fast, and they will often lose their shine and bounce. sleep deprivation is also a form of stress.A lack of sleep has been shown to affect the body’s immune function, hormone secretion, physical and mental stamina. Hair is very sensitive to changes within the body, and hair loss is nearly always the consequence of an internal disturbance.Improper sleep leads to stress  and it can indeed cause hair loss. In those susceptible to male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss, stress can instigate, accelerate and aggravate the problem.So, it's better to have sound sleep and also treat your tresses to a silk or satin pillowcase, besides feeling delightfully soft, the smooth surface creates less friction so it’s easier on your locks when you toss and turn. This can help prevent hair loss and breakage overnight.

How to Maintain Healthy Hair???

1. It's normal to lose 100 to 150 strands of hair a day so don't panic when you see a small bunch crawling across your tiled floor.

2. Comb wet hair with extreme care because they're fragile and prone to breakage. Take a broad toothed comb and run it from the roots to the ends of your hair as gently as possible.

3. Trim your hair every few weeks to get rid of those brown and rough split ends. Cut about 1/4th an inch of your hair every 6 to 8 weeks to avoid the split ends to grow out again.

4. Don't wash your hair everyday and whenever you do, apply some conditioner on the ends. Try and use the same brand of shampoo and conditioner.

5. Rinse the conditioner off with cold water as it is good for both strength and shine.

Deep Conditioning

Even though you condition your hair after every wash, nothing quite works as good as deep conditioning.Every once in a while wash your hair with shampoo, squeeze out the extra water and towel dry it. Then take generous amounts of conditioner and apply it right to the root of your hair. Use a broad toothed comb and run it through your hair to make sure the conditioner reaches everywhere.

How to choose right shampoo for your hair

There are so many shampoos on the market today, it can be confusing to decide what particular type and brand is best for your hair. The best way to distinguish what is and is not best for your hair, you first need to understand shampoo and the different varieties so that you can arrive at quick decision.

The main purpose of shampoo is to properly cleanse the hair and scalp. An effective shampoo will remove dirt, oils, and dead skin cells without negatively affecting the hair and scalp.

The hair and scalp needs to be shampooed regularly to fight the build up of oils, dirt, and natural flakes that can create an environment for disease producing bacteria. Regular shampooing will vary from person to person depending on the type of hair you have. Oily hair needs to be shampooed more often to control brittleness and breakage.

Excessive shampooing on both oily and dry hair can strip the hair of its natural protective oil that seals and protects the hair’s cuticle. If your hair is constantly dry, try shampooing it a little less frequent to see if that will help eliminate the problem.

Water Makes A Difference

Water is the most important and abundant element on earth. It is vital to sustaining life on the planet and plays a large part in aiding hair with bounce, body, and shine. So it has to be taken into consideration.

Soft water, which is best for shampooing, is rain water or chemically softened that contains small amounts of minerals. Hard water contains more minerals and reduce the ability of soap or shampoo to lather readily. It can also change the results of hair coloring. Hard water is found mostly where well water is used to supply the home.

Let's find out some of the types of shampoo available :-

Acid Balanced Shampoo – is a shampoo that is balanced to the pH of skin and hair. Shampoo can become acid balanced by adding citric, lactic, or phosphoric acid. An acid pH of 4.5 to 5.5 is essential to prevent excessive dryness and hair damage during the cleansing process. Acid-balanced shampoos help to close the hair cuticle and are recommended for hair that has been color treated or lightened.

Conditioning and Moisturizing Shampoo – are shampoos that are non-stripping and do not remove natural oils and artificial colors from the hair. The purpose of these shampoos are to make the hair smooth and shiny, improve hair manageability, and avoid damage to chemically treated hair. These conditioning agents restore moisture and elasticity, adds volume, and strengthens the hair shaft.

Medicated Shampoo – contain special ingredients, chemicals, or drugs that help combat certain scalp conditions such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis. Some medicated shampoos that fight the more severe scalp conditions must be prescribed by a doctor. These shampoos are quite strong, are very drying to the hair, and can effect the color of tinted or lightened hair. In most cases, the shampoo must rest on the scalp for a longer period of time than regular shampoo in order for the active ingredients to take effect.

Clarifying Shampoo – are shampoos that are acidic on the pH scale. They cut through product buildup that can flatten hair, and allow the hair to shine. This type of shampoo should be used once a week or once every 2 weeks. 

Balancing Shampoo – is the most misused shampoo due to not understanding its use. Balancing shampoos are designed for oily hair and scalp and wash away excess oil in the hair. This shampoo is not ideal for dry and brittle hair.

Dry or Powder Shampoo – are shampoos that cleanse the hair without the use of water. This is ideal for the elderly and people where there is a challenge to use water on the hair due to some type of incapacity. The powder is applied throughout the hair and then brushed thoroughly where the product picks up dirt and oil leaving the hair clean and with more volume.

Color Enhancing Shampoo – are designed to brighten, add a slight hint of color, and eliminate unwanted color tones to the hair. Similar to temporary color rinses, they contain basic color pigments that are attracted to porous hair and revives color that has been removed with plain shampooing.

Volumizing Shampoo – gently cleanses hair without adding weight with heavy oils and conditioning agents. These shampoos provide body and fullness to fine, lifeless hair while improving strength, shine, and manageability.

Using the right hair care products at home can make all the difference in how your hair looks, feels, and behaves. So, make yourself aware of the right products by reading our blog .@cosmoworldclinics.. Book an appointment now, call : 9643636652

Benefits oF Hair Transplant Surgery

Hair transplant surgery is the procedure that is used to implant hair follicles from a donor area of a patient's scalp to an area that has experienced hair loss. It is a mean of gaining your self confidence again.

Hair transplant surgery has continued to grow in popularity over the years due to success rates and improved technologies that make the surgery less invasive, the healing time quicker and more importantly a natural treatment.

Some of the benefits :-

Better Looks

Most people who deal with hair loss issues, loose their self confidence because of it. That feeling of being “ugly” or not normal because your hair is thin, or non existent - goes away with a hair transplant because you are now replacing that hairless area with locks that make you feel attractive and young all over again.

A Permanent Solution

Unlike topical treatments, or holistic remedies that say they might work to help grow back your hair, a hair transplant is permanent and the results will last. Once all surgeries are completed by the doctor, you can be done with the entire ordeal - forever.  

Improved Self-Esteem

Not only are those who suffer from hair loss upset about their appearance in the mirror, but this often time has also lead to lowered self esteem because the person is feeling as if they are not living up to a societal norm, and there is nothing they can do to make themselves look more acceptable. With a hair transplant surgery, patients have hair growing again in the problem areas and not only do they like what they see again in the mirror, but that leads to improved self-esteem, higher levels of self confidence and much better outlook on life in general.

Cost Savings

While hair transplants are more costly than going out and buying a gimmick remedy from a drugstore , the truth is those remedies must be bought multiple times - and that is if they are even producing results in the first place. One way to think about it is that over time, the actual surgical procedure is saving more money overall than what you are paying out of pocket for treatments time and time again, that actually might not even be having a permanent effect. So always go for permanent ones.

A Natural Appearance

For years, people shied away from hair transplants and things like hair pieces to help mask their hair loss issues because they were seen as comical. Thanks to improvements in technology and techniques, surgeons have been able to perfect their craft and are now producing hair transplant results that are so natural, many people cannot even tell it was done. They give you natural and guaranteed results.
