Yet More Care Hair Myths - The Truth And The Lies
Those hair care myths just keep coming! In this third of 3 articles, we examine some of the most widely known myths - and dig out the truth?1. Hair should be washed every dayFALSE: There is no correct schedule for washing hair. Every person should shampoo according to the specific needs of their hair type and texture. While some people do benefit from a daily shampoo, others benefit from a variety of shampooing schedules.2. More lather = a more effective shampoo = cleaner hairFALSE: Lathering agents are often added to shampoos, but more foam doesn't mean cleaner hair.3.
Hair develops immunity to the same shampoo over timeFALSE: There is no scientific evidence to prove this myth.4. Brushing your hair is better than combing itFALSE: Actually, your hair reacts better to a comb than a brush. Brushing it will only lead to split ends and hair breakage.5. Split ends can be repaired without trimmingFALSE: The only successful treatment for removing split ends is with a scissors. Some hair care products may temporarily merge split ends together, but this only lasts until your next shampoo.
Always remember that damaged ends tend to grow slower than healthy, well-maintained, trimmed hair.6. Coloring hair during pregnancy is harmfulFALSE (PROBABLY): Some physicians disagree, but most believe that coloring the hair during pregnancy is not dangerous to the baby. When in doubt always get your physician's permission to color your hair during pregnancy. Most experts believe that the key danger with hair coloring is not the application of the product to the scalp but the inhalation of the strong chemical odor.7. Virgin root hair should be treated differentlyTRUE: The hair that is closest to the roots reacts differently to the application of new hair color and chemical treatments.
Hair color applied directly to the roots will process differently that color applied on hair that has already been treated.8. Lemon juice will bleach hair blondeFALSE: Some naturally light haired people may notice a slight lightening or brightening after prolonged sun exposure soaked in lemon juice, but most people wont not see any obvious change in their hair lightness or brightness.9. A sunburnt scalp can lead to hair lossTRUE: Severe sunburn or a series of burns that occur over time may damage delicate hair follicles at the root level. People with a genetic predisposition towards hair loss may accelerate the onset of hair loss activity. Avoid scalp burns by applying sun protection products to your scalp along with your hair.10.
For thick, shiny hair, eat a diet that's rich in iron and proteinFALSE: Iron deficiency can cause hair loss, but dermatologists say the reverse is not true: eating extra iron will not give you thick hair. In fact, overloading on iron can cause serious health problems (the correct amount for optimal health is about 15 milligrams a day for a woman). The same thing is true with protein. Dermatologists say protein-deficiency will cause lackluster skin and brittle hair. It's important to get enough protein, but eating more than normal won't make hair any shinier.11.
Wearing hats causes hair lossFALSE: In order for the hair to fall out, the hat would have to be so tight that it cuts circulation to the follicles. Milliners can breathe a collective sigh of relief!12. Hormones are not related to hair lossTRUE: Although hormonal imbalance can cause temporary hair loss, as is common with women after pregnancy, the important thing to remember is that the hair will grow back.13. Swimming pool chemicals can turn hair greenTRUE: Frequent swimmers with natural blonde or chemically highlighted hair that is extremely porous may experience the development of green tints and shades over time. This problem can be prevented with regular use of moisturizing shampoo and conditioners that provides a natural barrier to chlorine and related chemicals.14.
Hair grows faster on different parts of the headTRUE: There is some scientific evidence that the growth rate of hair may vary on different parts of the head for select people. There is also some indication that the growth rate of hair on babies may be faster on the crown than on any other parts of the scalp. Usually the growth rate differences are very marginal and will not impact the hair appearance in any way.SUMMARYHeard another myth about hair? Do your research ? ask an expert! This doesn't include your grandmother, best friend or local barmaid. Instead, talk to an experienced hairdresser or a trichologist. Always get the real facts before you act on any hair myths ? you owe it to your hair.(With thanks to Daniel Mcullough and Karen M.

Universities Use High-Tech Massage Chairs To Help Their Faculty Unwind
(ContentDesk) March 31, 2006 -- Many universities are now making massage chairs available to their faculty, both in an effort to reduce stress and improve work performance, but also as a novel teaching tool. College faculty members are expected to fill many roles during the course of their day; they are friends, mentors and even surrogate parents, and wearing all of those hats can really wear a person out. In order to help their faculty stay energized, many schools have begun using a new breed of super-advanced massage chairs from companies like Premier Health Products and Panasonic to help reduce stress, and make their faculty more productive.Faculty members are encouraged to take a massage between classes, or in the morning as they start their day. Many professors may not find the time in their busy schedules for traditional massage therapy, but massage chairs offer a quick way to get many of the same benefits with no sticky oils and no appointments.At some institutions, massage chairs...

Are Your Medicine Causing Your Thinning Hair?
Hair Growth
Hair usually grows about half an inch per month, although this slows as you age. Each hair remains on your head for two to six years, and during most of this time is continually growing. An average person has about 100,000 hairs.
As a hair gets older, it may enter a resting stage in which it remains on your head but doesn't grow. At the end of this stage, the hair usually falls out. Usually, the follicle replaces it in about six months.
During this time, your hair is in its resting stage.
But many factors can disrupt this cycle. The result can be that your hair falls out early or isn't replaced.
What Causes Thinning Hair
Thinning hair can be caused by drugs, including: birth control pills, anticoagulants,...

10 Reasons Why You Need to Ditch the Super Mom Syndrome
For any of you Moms out there that are doing it all, attempting to gain Super Mom status, let me give you my own personal opinion?It's not worth it!!!The pursuit of the Super Mom is an endless search that will be of great cost to you in the end.
Here are 10 reasons why you need to put an immediate halt to this pursuit.
- There is no such thing as a Mom who can do everything perfect because as far as I am concerned, perfection comes at a very high price. Seemingly perfect to other people, is often not the way things really are for the perfectionist.
- The Super Mom Syndrome is literally killing women.
Stress related diseases are on the rise and the demands that women place on themselves today directly contribute to the stress in their life. This stress is often all consuming. - There are far too many roles in our life today.
Trying to keep up with the different hats we wear on a daily basis is sometimes impossible.
Feeling the need to be perfect...
