How Extreme Styling Affects the Strength of Your Hair

Everybody hates a monotonous hairdo and craves for something new at some point of time. We curl our hair, straighten it, make it go between the blades, and what not. All this while, we might forget that we are styling our hair at the cost of its strength.

Regularly changing the hairdos can cause a serious damage to our hair, leading to a receding hairline, rough texture, or even traction alopecia (a type of hair loss). The following discussion serves the purpose of imparting awareness about the effects of extreme styling on your tresses and what can be done to rescue them.

Cornrows -  Not Good for Your Hair and Scalp

This African-origin hairstyle has been all-time popular. It is easy on maintenance, as it can stay intact for weeks. However, as stylish as they look, the cornrows lead to traction alopecia wherein your scalp goes through a gradual hair loss. This hair loss occurs owing to the excessive pulling force applied to your hair.  

Dreadlocks – Extremely Dreadful for Your Hair

This type of hairstyle not only makes your hair dull and rough but also leads to side-effects like scalp infections, hair-loss, and even migraines. With the complexity involved in this hairdo, one feels bogged down when it comes to its maintenance. This hairstyle leaves your tresses twisted, matted, and exposed to dandruff. 

Hair Weaves – Wave Them Away

Hair-weaving is done by attaching extensions to your scalp with the help of a glue. Attaching these extensions involves clipping or gluing them on each strand, which is done with a constant pulling or hurting. This type of hairstyling can also lead to traction alopecia and can make bald spots on your scalp.

These are just a few out of many hairstyles that can lead to a tremendous deterioration in the strength of your hair locks. Nevertheless, preventing yourself from styling your hair is no solution, as it is almost a necessity, whether you are a male or a female. So, for maintaining the strength along with a trendy hairstyle, apply chemical-free herbal hair products and carry any hairdo with confidence.

Summary:

Styling your hair may come with a heavy price as it can harm your hair. To keep up the strength and volume of your hair, rely on those hair-care brands that use herbal techniques and are formulated with nature’s gifts.

Hair Colors can reduce the Density of Your Hair

Hair colors are the most commonly used hair styling products that help us making a style statement. No wonder, the hairstyle speaks for itself when highlighted with these vibrant shades. But everything comes with a price and so does a hair dye. Some hair colors can lead to a tremendous hair breakage and damage, leading to a reduction in density thereof.

Following are the reasons why hair-dyes can lead to a drop in your hair-volume, explaining alongside as to what hair-care products need to be chosen as a remedy.

Exploitation of Hair Shafts While Dyeing

While dyeing your hair permanently, your scalp and tresses go through a continuous stroking. At first, the dyeing materials are rubbed then the extra dye is removed by rinsing your hair with water. Later, a conditioner is applied and rinsed thereafter. This process removes telogen from hair, lessening the hair volume.

Chemical Penetration Causes Hair Damage

Chemicals are used to get the colors on your tresses. The tresses that you see above the skin are dead already and therefore they cannot be damaged when colored. The damaging results come when the chemicals penetrate beneath the scalp and disrupts the hair bulb – a part that plays an important role in hair growth and loss.  

Hydrogen Peroxide Weakens the Hair Shaft

Hydrogen Peroxide functions to make the cuticular scale swell for letting the dye reach the hair shaft, as the swelling creates an opening. In order for the production of artificial color to take place, hair shaft experiences a process of oxidation or reduction. For closing these ports, conditioner is used to reverse this swelling. However, the hair shaft stays permeable and leads to further protein loss.

It is not Hair Loss but Hair Breakage

The hair dyes do not reduce the density by way of hair loss. Rather they damage your hair and cause breakage that further results in a declining hair volume. Hair breakage causes thinning and alteration of your hair.

Therefore, hair breakage being the ultimate result of hair dyeing and cause of deteriorating volume, one needs to fight it. There are some herbal conditioners that do not contain any chemicals and let you have naturally shinier and healthier hair.

Summary:The discussion lays down the reasons why one undergoes hair volume reduction by putting light on what your hair goes through as you dye it. It has also been discussed as to what can be done to address this dilemma.

Changes Your Hair Undergo After 40

As a woman reaches the age of 40, she finds herself undergoing a lot of hormonal and physical changes. Some of these changes are at times shocking and get noticed lately. This is true for hair. Knowing these changes in advance can ease the stress of encountering such ‘changes’.

In this blog, we will be discussing two most common age-related hair issues and the possible solutions for each one of them.

Loss of texture

Usually a woman’s hair start becoming more dry and brittle after a certain age. This happens because the production of sebum in the body, a lubricant naturally present in the skin and hair pores, is slowed down. As a result, the hair loses elasticity. As we age, the sebum production rate is estimated to decrease by 10%.

Dealing with the problem of hair texture is easy. For beginners, the best thing is to start eating healthy. Go for a diet rich in calcium, omega 3 fatty acids, anti-oxidants and Vitamins E, C and A. Also, make sure you drink at least 2 Litres of water a day.

Loss of hair density

One of the most frightening changes in women is the thinning of hair. For most women undergoing hair loss is more traumatic than going grey. As women get older, they experience some kind of hair loss. Sometimes the loss might be minor, and not that visible. But in worst cases, the scalp could be easily seen through the hair, especially around the perimeter. In case you think that there is something abnormal about the hair loss, then you should without doubt book an appointment with a doctor. He or she might be able to determine whether the problem has been arising out of thyroid conditions. Sometimes, doctors might recommend a hormone replacement therapy. You can also try out Ayurvedic, herbal treatments, which are better and safe.

Each time you subject your hair to chemical conditioners and shampoos, there is 100% chance for your hair to lose its natural integrity. Chemicals can make your hair strands brittle, dry and rough. The lesser you use chemical-rich shampoos and conditioners, the better it is for your hair. Once the damage is done, the only solution is to remove the damaged hair, so that healthy hair grows out. So, better go for natural options.

Summary

It is no new thing that with the progress of age, there can be obvious changes in the texture of a person’s hair. In this blog, the writer has tried to introduce the reader to few age-related hair issues, and their solutions.

These steps are sure to put an end on your bad hair days, irrespective of what your hair type is.

    2.   Consider your hair type and lifestyle choices: Yes, it is true that you should not wash your hair daily but how often should you wash your hair also depends on the type of hair you have.

    3.   Avoid heat styling: Did we hear that you cannot avoid heat styling completely? There is a solution. Use steam rollers on your hair as they are gentle and do not get too warm as they are only heated by the steam, which goes through the foam on the roller. But if you still want to use any heat tools (hot rollers, flat irons, blow dryers etc.) desperately to style your hair, then always use a heat protection spray.

Invest some time and groom your hair properly as good hair can change your personality completely and can also do a lot to your confidence. Take good care of your hair by using Strong & Nourished Hair oil and say goodbye to bad hair days.
