Why Flax Seeds are Good for your Hair

3 Reasons why Flax seeds are good for your hair..

1-Flax seeds contain essential vitamins for hair

Flax seeds are full of essential vitamins and minerals which provide nourishment to the hair follicles and encourage stronger and healthier new growth. A daily dose of flax seeds will keep you and your hair beautiful.

2-Flax seeds are high in Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids help you avoid a dry, scaly scalp, and nourish your hair. It also increases the hair elasticity – which means less breakage. Plus it can help reduce dandruff, eczema, and other skin conditions.

3-Flax seeds are a good source of fiber

Flax seeds are a great source of fiber – both the soluble and insoluble types. Eating flax seeds will keep your gut in good health, and facilitate the absorption of vital nutrients. And health gut equals a healthy body and of course healthy hair.

How to Eat Flax seeds?

*Always eat flax seeds after dry roasting them in a pan or oven before eating.This way they are easy to chew and plus roasting eliminates anti-nutrients in the seeds which can block the absorption of other mineral.

*Add in your salads or make chutney, which you can add to your sandwiches or stuffed bread (parathas), etc.

*You can also grind the roasted flax seeds, and use them in your diet. 

Since flax seeds are slimy and sticky, make sure to take them with plenty of water or other liquids to increase their mobility in your gut.

ANATOMY OF HAIR FOLLICLE

                        ANATOMY OF HAIR FOLLICLE

Hair Structure

A hair can be defined as a slender, thread-like outgrowth from a follicle in the skin. The hair are present all over the body, except for the sole, palm, lips. Hair is composed of structural protein called keratin. This is the same kind of protein that makes up the nails and the outer layer of skin .

Hair comprises of three morphological regions - the cuticle, medulla, and cortex

• An innermost layer or medulla which is only present in large thick hairs.
• The middle layer known as the cortex. The cortex provides strength, color and texture of the hair.
• The outermost layer is known as the cuticle. The cuticle is thin and colorless. It serves as a protector of the cortex.

Structure of the hair root

Hair root lies below the skin, which is enclosed within a follicle. At the base of hair follicle is the dermal papilla. The dermal papilla is fed by the blood vessels which carries nourishment to produce new hair. The dermal papilla is very important for the growth of the hair as it contains receptors for male hormones and androgens. The presence of these receptors is responsible for the androgenic alopecia

HAIR GROWTH CYCLE .....HOW HAIR WORKS ???

HAIR GROWTH CYCLE .....HOW HAIR WORKS ???

It is very important to understand the hair growth cycle in order to recognize and understand many of the problems,  you can encounter with your hair. The hair growth cycle is ongoing and on average, 90% of your hair is in resting phase while the other 10% is either growing or shedding. Balding occurs when the hair sheds , and no hair grows to replace it. The hair growth cycle consists of three distinct stages:- 

ANAGEN PHASE ,  CATAGEN PHASE , TELOGEN PHASE 

ANAGEN PHASE - The hair growth cycle begins with the anagen or growth phase . During this phase cells in the root of  the hair divide to add to the hair shaft . Depending upon your genetics , the growth phase can last anywhere from 2 to 6 yrs. As the anagen phase comes to an end an unknown signal tells the hair to enter the next stage.

CATAGEN PHASE -  This stage follows the anagen phase and  is made up of a 2-3 week transitional period in which the hair is no longer growing .During this stage, club hair is formed .A club hair occurs when the section of the hair follicle attaches to the hair shaft , cutting the follicle off from its blood supply and the cells that produce new hair. This club hair leads to the next stage of hair growth and shedding cycle.

TELOGEN PHASE - Lastly, your hair enters the telogen phase , a resting phase when your hair is released and falls out. The follicle then remains inactive for 3 months and the whole process is repeated . Each hair follicle is independent and goes through the growth cycle at different times, otherwise all your hair would fall out at once. Instead you only shed a certain number of hairs a day.

STANDARD GUIDELINES OF CARE -HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

                    STANDARD GUIDELINES OF CARE

                           HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

Hair Transplantation is a surgical method of hair restoration. While undergoing transplant surgery , some of the points need to be taken into the consideration. These are the some of the basic steps:- 

1. PHYSICIAN QUALIFICATION- The physician performing hair transplantation should have completed post graduation training. He should obtain specific hair transplantation training under the supervision of an appropriately trained and experienced hair transplant surgeon. In addition to the surgical technique, training should include instruction in local anesthesia and emergency care.

2. FACILITY - Hair transplantation can be performed safely in an outpatient day case . The day case theater should be equipped with facilities for monitoring and handling emergencies.

3. PREOPERATIVE COUNSELING AND INFORMED CONSENT- Detailed consent form listing details about the procedure and possible complications should be signed by the patient.Patient should be provided with adequate opportunity to seek information through brochures and personal discussions. Need for concomitant medical therapy should be emphasized. Patients should understand that proper hair growth can be expected within 9 - 12 months. Preoperative laboratory studies should be conducted well.

4. PATIENT SELECTION- Hair transplantation can be performed in any person with pattern hair loss, with good donor area , in good general health and reasonable expectations. Caution should be exercised in , very young patients whose early alopecia is still evolving, patients with unrealistic expectations and patients with significant health problems.

5. MEDICAL THERAPY- Most of the patients will need concurrent medical treatment since the process of pattern hair loss is progressive and may affect the remaining hairs.

6. MANPOWER- Hair transplantation is a team effort. Particularly , performing large sessions, needs a well trained team of trained assistants.

7. ANESTHESIA- 2% lignocaine with adrenaline is generally used for anesthesia , tumescent technique is preferred.

8. DENSITY- Minimum density of 30-35 units per sq cm is recommended. Results depend on donor characteristics, technique used and individual skills of the surgeon.

AWARENESS ALERT !!!

.AWARENESS ALERT !!!

Beware of the various Hair transplant centers selling Motorized FUE as Robotic Hair Transplant. A robotic hair transplant is a type of hair restoration procedure where donor hair is removed directly from the back and sides of the scalp using robotic control. 

In a robotic FUE hair transplant, follicular units are extracted one at a time by the image-guided, computer-driven system called the ARTAS Robotic System, a technology developed by the company Restoration Robotics. ARTAS is the only authentic system of ROBOTIC HAIR TRANSPLANT, of which only one Robotic system has been installed in Mumbai few months back.

Various Hair Transplant centers are presenting Motorized FUE as Robotic Hair Transplant and charging high for this. so before taking any decision by just seeing advertisements always first authenticate the information given by the advertisers.
