			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Hair Protection</h2>
<p>Your <strong>hair</strong> is your glory and a huge part of the maintenance of your looks. One of the very first steps of hair care regimen is looking for the right kind of shampoo that is meant for your hair.</p>
<div class="mceTemp">
<dl id="attachment_738" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-738" title="Hair Protection" src="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/hair-protection1.jpg" alt=" a" width="300" height="225" />Image by Nicole takes pictures. </dt>

<p>You will be able to maintain your hair well when you have the right shampoo and conditioner arming you. Give your hair volume and thickness, by cleansing and conditioning it properly. Rough and dry hair can be turned into soft and silky after a hot oil massage, shampoo and then conditioning.</p>
<p>Avoiding excess shampooing can be one of the greatest positive things that one can do for one’s hair. Using shampoo that is specially meant for your hair would be great too!</p>
<p>Brushing all tangles out of your hair through a wide toothed comb is also most essential. A round brush is quite good for any kind of hair but for detangling the wide toothed combs are the most useful. After a wash always dry your hair with towel as too much of blow drying can cause harm to your hair. When you have to style your hair in a special way indeed, blow drying would be inordinately helpful.</p>
<p><span id="more-737"></span>Take the <strong>frizziness</strong> out of your hair by using effective herbal serum. Remember that too much of hair styling gels and products can definitely get your hair dried up. Rinse hair properly after a shampoo as any residual item can bring damage to the scalp. Rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel, in order to dry is also not expected. This will lead to hair fall and will brushing hair when it is wet since the roots are weakest at that point. You will be thankful for easy towel drying which is more like pressing that vigorously rubbing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="295" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fe-YMAdHmwg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fe-YMAdHmwg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Taking essential oil supplements, like primrose oil, is good for your hair as well as skin. <strong>B vitamins</strong> are also good for your hair. Having a full bowl of sprout salad is great for hair as they supply the important folic acid and iron required for lush <strong>hair growth</strong>. It is important to drink plenty of water in order to keep your hair vital and free of dryness. Massaging your hair with warm oil once or twice a week is one of the greatest beneficial effects that your hair would be experiencing. Warm oil penetrates hair shaft easily, keeping it soft and silky. Trimming your hair ends from time to time, or every 6-8 weeks is important. You will find your hair grows faster this way and there are no split ends as well. An important part of good hair is healthy diet and lifestyle. Crash dieting automatically leads to hair fall while if we take care of our protein and iron levels, we can always maintain great looking hair. Over exposure to colors and other damaging, chemical based styling products can definitely lead to hair fall. To counteract these effects deep nourishing hair masks or warm and deep <strong>hair oil</strong> can be very important. They moisturize and feed your hair shafts well and bring the shine and health back to your hair. Grandmother’s idea of brushing the hair well before sleep actually is a sound one. This increases circulation on the scalp and brings lush hair growth with practice.</p>

<p>Oil pulling or the process of drawing out toxins from the body is a very good way of detoxing the hair. This is an old fashioned alternative therapy that requires you to exercise the mouth with <strong>extra virgin oil</strong>. <strong>Coconut oil</strong> or <strong>sesame oil</strong> or even <strong>olive oil</strong> is good for this process. One has to take a cap of oil and rinse the insides of the mouth like a mouth wash for ten minutes and be careful to spit it out. It is then important to rinse the mouth carefully. This is a way of naturally detoxing chemicals from body and hair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-2008-summer-hairstyles11.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-254" title="hair and scalp" src="http://healthheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/resize-of-2008-summer-hairstyles11.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Our hair is one of the most important and noticeable parts of our personality. We can use dye on it, style it, shave it off or cover it with a hat. In order to provide an opportunity for self-expression, hair scalp really does have positive effects. Hair is a specialized type of skin. The hair on scalp provides protection and maintains homeostasis. Hair also helps to filter out debris and contamination, like nasal hair, and protects from sun and wind such as eyelashes.</p>
<p><strong>Hair Grooming</strong></p>
<p>Your hair reflects your overall grooming. The sebum, that keep your skin moist also accumulate on your scalp hair. If your sebaceous glands produce large quantity of oil, it can give your hair oily or stringy look, so you may need to wash your hair daily. But if your body does not produce much sebum and your have fine and thin hair, less shampooing is better for your hair and scalp.</p>
<p><span id="more-253"></span>Some hair products contain toxic chemicals that can cause allergies. This is mostly seen with the products that change the hair, like perms, relaxers and hair dyes. These products can contain lye, acid, coal tar, and other ingredients that can sting, burn, discolor, cause hair loss and blister your scalp. If you want to use these products, read precautions on the label carefully and thoroughly wash out all the chemicals after use.</p>
<p><strong>Scalp Problems</strong></p>
<p>As like many other treatments, scalp treatments depend on the diagnosis of underlying cause. A healthy diet and good care can prevent common hair and scalp problems. Some common problem that has experienced by the people includes:</p>
<p><strong>Dandruff</strong></p>
<p>If you see white flakes on your shoulders, you could have dandruff. It is usually easily treated at home and a medicated shampoo can solve this problem.</p>
<p><strong>Lice</strong></p>
<p>Lice are tiny insects, mostly found in scalp of school going children. Lice can be passed from person to person by using combs, brushes and hats of one another. Lice live on the blood sucked from the scalp and cause terrible itch. Lice must be treated with special shampoo.</p>
<p><strong>Hair loss</strong></p>
<p>There are so many factors associated with hair loss. One condition is called alopecia in which, patches form after hair fall. Alopecia usually occurs due to autoimmune disorders. This condition is not contagious and hair loss is temporary.</p>
