Understanding Menopause

Hair Care

Healthy hair requires essential nutrients on a daily basis. Keep in mind that unhealthy hair is caused by many factors: heat (irons, blow drying, curlers, etc.), U.V. rays (sun, tanning beds, etc.), mechanical devices (combs, brushes, hair irons, etc.), chemicals (hair color, perms, relaxers, pool chemicals, etc.), or poor diet. In addition to Purolio, the following are general tips to help you avoid damaging your hair.

Hair products: use natural hair care products and sulphate-free products. Before purchasing any hair product read the ingredients first! Identify those that are harmful and avoid using them. Unfortunately most commercial products contain substances that cause more harm than good. The continued use of such products will eventually weaken your hair to the point where the hair will break easily and fall out. If you color your hair, you might want to consider a natural dye or no ammonia hair color.

Hair management : when towel drying your hair use blotting technique and use extra care as the hair tends to break easily when wet. Never brush your hair when wet. Always use a wide tooth comb to avoid pulling the hair out. If you use a hair dryer, use "thermal protector" to protect against heat. Protect your hair against sun rays by using a conditioner with U.V. protectors built in.

Exercise : Exercising improves circulation, which in turn improves hair.

Foods rich in : EFA (Essential fatty acids) help with dry and brittle hair and improve the texture; those high in B vitamins for hair health and growth; those high in Vitamin C for improved circulation to the scalp; Vitamin E foods to increase oxygen uptake and improve circulation thereby improving hair health and growth. Zinc stimulates hair growth by improving immunity. Consult with a qualified dietitian to discuss a specific regimen that best fits your own need and body tolerance.

Foods to avoid : uncooked poultry and meats, raw eggs contain a protein called avidin that binds to biotin and stops it from being absorbed. Carbohydrate and sugar destroy B vitamins and decrease minerals thus leading to unhealthy hair.
