Hair comes in a variety of lengths, styles, colours and textures, each with its share of challenges. Here are some of the most common hair dilemmas.
Hair Loss
Hair loss is a common problem for both men and women, despite the fact that some hair is shed every day. Losing 50 to 100 strands of hair in a day is normal. Hair thinning and loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, hormone imbalance and improper hair care.
Dandruff
Dandruff causes your scalp to produce white flakes. Dandruff, while harmless, can be a real pain to deal with. Not only are flakes considered eyesores that can hamper your confidence, but they also lead to uncomfortable scalp itching.
Grey hair
Melanin, a pigment produced by melanocyte cells in hair follicles, is responsible for the colour of hair. Researchers have discovered that melanocytes endure cumulative damage over the years, which eventually leaves them unable to produce melanin. The new hair that grows in without melanin lacks colour, making it seem grey, white, or silver.
Greasy Hair
Your scalp contains a natural oil called sebum, which helps keep the skin lubricated. Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands. Sometimes these glands work overtime and produce too much oil, leading to a greasy scalp. Hair that is greasy can appear dull, limp and lifeless, and it can be difficult to manage.
Frizzy hair
Frizz happens when your hair’s outermost layer, the cuticle, is not sealed all the way, causing moisture to seep in. This could be for several reasons, including dryness, damage, sun exposure, or a bad blowout.
Split ends
Split ends happen when the ends of your hair become dry, brittle and frayed. They may resemble the end of an unravelled rope. Exposure to extreme weather conditions, and hair care techniques such as blow-drying, straightening and curling may cause split ends.
Unlike the skin, hair cannot repair itself, but damaged hair can be replaced with new hair. Get the right balance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and phytonutrients to revive your hair’s natural health and shine.
