Foods That May Help Keep Your Hair Healthy

Eating healthy foods is not only beneficial for your body, mind, heart and overall health, it's also necessary to keep your locks long and strong. Try adding these tasty power foods into your daily diet for extra nutrition for your hair.

1. Oysters:

A lack of zinc in your diet may lead to hair loss. Oysters have an abundance of zinc. Eating oysters can easily reach the necessary amount of zinc you should have per day in small servings. Other foods that you can eat to fill the zinc quota are nuts and eggs.

2. Spinach:

Everyone knows what happens to the cartoon character Popeye when he eats spinach. He gets big and strong and can take on anything. Well, eating spinach may also have positive effects on your hair. Spinach contains nutrients such as Iron and Vitamin C that your hair follicles need to stay healthy. If you don’t like spinach then broccoli is another healthy alternative.

3. Greek Yogurt:

Greek yogurt is another option packed with nutrition that may keep your hair healthy. Greek yogurt contains vitamins B5 and D, which are essential to quality hair follicle health. Other alternatives are cottage cheese and skim milk.

4. Poultry:

Hair is made up of nearly all protein, so what could be better to eat than chicken. Poultry contains zinc, iron, and vitamin B. If you currently have a lack of protein in your diet, adding poultry, such as chicken, can fill that void and may even keep your hair healthy. One alternative is lean beef.

5. Sweet Potatoes:

Sweet potatoes may be an excellent option for those in need of more vitamin A. A lack of vitamin A may lead to an itchy scalp and possibly dandruff. Some alternatives to sweet potatoes are apricots, mangoes, carrots, and cantaloupe.

Falling for Change

A new season calls for a new look, right? RIGHT! New is stimulating, adventurous and – dare I say – fierce.  New trends pop-up everywhere around us: new clothes, new shoes, and even hair. It is nice to have spontaneity every once in a while, it keeps life interesting and fun! You can become your alter ego or just have a sense of mystery in your new look by visiting one of the professional stylists at IHRS.

The top five must-try hair colors for this fall season:

1. Flaxen Blonde

Blondes are going darker! This look hosts dark roots and golden tones spread throughout the hair. This style is perfect for individuals with fair complexion and light features.

2. Bronde

Beverly Hills colorist and hairstylist, Nelson Chan, says "It's an edgier take on the naturally highlighted look and a perfect way to add a bit of drama to basic brown this fall." Definitely keep the highlights off the top of the head; instead have them scattered around the eyes, cheekbones and neckline.

3. Copper

A bolder take for redheads, or those who want to be. It’s a step away from the strawberry & orange hues of summer to the red hue of autumn. A more natural look, this style best complements those with blue or green eyes.

4. Sombré

It’s the subtle ombré – clever name – unlike the popular style, sombré features low lights blended in the under layers and roots of your hair.

5. Rich Chocolate

This is a rich blend of chocolate and chestnut undertones. The dark hues of this style will work well on many complexions.

Hair Loss and Breast Cancer

According to statistics:

·        About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

 

·        For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than any other cancer, besides lung cancer.

·        Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. Just under 30% of cancers in women are breast cancers.

We are fortunate to have many treatment options available for the complexity of the cells in each individual cancer. Be aware that these treatments do have a side-effect: hair loss.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Why does this happen?

Hair loss can occur as the result of chemotherapy which targets rapidly dividing cells – cancer and healthy. Within a few weeks, a patient may lose some if not all their hair. This also includes hair all over the body. The extent to which hair loss ensues depends on which drugs or other treatments (Radiation or Hormonal) that are used, as well as the longevity of it all. Fortunately, this is temporary and may grow back at a later date.

What can be expected?

The loss of hair often occurs one to three weeks after the start of treatment. It can happen rapidly in clumps or gradually. The accumulation of hair can be observed on your pillowcase, in a brush or comb, and even in the shower. This may continue throughout the treatment and up to a few weeks after.

How it be prevented?

It is not a full guarantee that hair loss will not occur. Nevertheless, the best thing to do is plan for the possibility. Trying to maintain a healthy mind and body after hair loss depends on a person's particular situation, such as the support of friends and family, as well as the attitude of the person.

How to make the best of it?

The best way to deal with the situation is to research what you can do to prepare yourself for possible upcoming events. Sources such as www.mayoclinic.org, ww5.komen.org/, and breastcancer.org are great sites that can assist you in the process of treatment.

Synergy: Hair Color and Skin Tone

Finding the perfect hair color is not a choice made by luck, but by science. It is never as easy as pointing to a person and saying “I want that!” Just as every person has a different fingerprint, finding the right shade and color is just as unique.

Hair Color/Skin Tone Chart

The wrong combination can lead to a total disaster, but the right one can lead to a jackpot full of admiration and envy. The perfect color has the ability to complement your skin tone, personality, and enhance certain facial features.

The way to find the right color has little to do with finding the one you want, and more to do with what color your skin likes.

Hair Color Pigmentation

Hair color comes in two distinct ways: by the level and shade. Color levels fall on a scale of one to ten; one being the darkest color, like jet-black and ten being the lightest color, like platinum blond. Within each level are color pigments- eumelanin (black-brown) and pheomelanin (red-brown), which control the shade.

Skin Undertones, Eye Color and Hair Color

Your skin tone also contains these underlying pigments. Those born with blond hair, have cooler undertones like blue, green, pink or blue-based red. In addition, those born with brown or black hair have warmer, earthy undertones like orange, brown, gold or orange-based red. Your undertone indicates the type of hair color that will look better on you: warm on warm, and cool on cool.

Eye colors also follow the pigment guidelines. Those with eyes that are deep brown, black-brown, gray-blue, dark blue or hazel with white, gray or blue flecks may look better with cooler tones in their hair. However, if your eyes are golden brown, green, turquoise or hazel with gold or brown flecks, warmer tones are recommended.

As complex as this all may seem, the result will surpass the process by far! Read more about skin tone and hair color by visiting http://www.youbeauty.com/hair/hair-color-skintone

Six Common Hair Loss Myths

There are reasons why some of the myths about hair loss have been around a long time. They appear to be true to the eye, are true in the extreme, or have been handed down for who knows how many generations. Below you will discover the follicular truth.

1.    Wearing a hat can cause hair loss.

      It is not hats that cause hair loss; it’s the person wearing a hat that can possibly cause hair loss in two ways. First, wearing a hat so tight it constricts blood flow to the hair follicles might cause some shedding.

       Second, wearing a hat for an extended time in hot, humid weather can lead to sebum plugs. Heat and  humidity bring sebum, the skin’s built-in lubricant, to the surface. If the sebum has time to react with  cholesterol it forms a plug that can asphyxiate hair follicles.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebaceous_gland

2.    It is normal to shed more than 100 strands of hair each day.

     We each have 100,000 to 150,000 hair follicles. At any given time, 85 to 90% of those are in a growth cycle that lasts five years. It is during the sixth year that a hair strand falls out, and the follicle begins another growth cycle.

      It was thought that people lost around 700 strands of hair per week, but scientists did the math and that number is considered too high. It’s likely to shed 50-100 strands in one day. Losing more than that could indicate an early stage of hair loss.

      http://www.ehow.com/about_5418646_many-hairs-do-lose-day.html

3.    Cutting hair makes it grow thicker.

       Each strand of hair is thicker at the scalp than at its tip. When you get a haircut, it may  appear that your hair has thickened because the split ends have been cut off. It is a  pleasant optical illusion.

4.    Daily washing and blow drying can trigger hair loss.

       This is not true; however, frequent exposure to intense heat does damage hair. Heat  damaged hair is usually brittle and strands easily break off. It may look as if you are  shedding hair. Excessive heat can damage hair follicles as well, possibly causing hair loss.  Very aggressive hair pulling, tight ponytails or braids can cause traction Alopecia.

5.    You have your mother’s side of the family to thank for your hair loss. 

       If you are genetically wired for hair loss, it is inherited from either side of the family. You  came into the world with two copies of genetic information that determined whether  your hair will go or stay one copy from each parent.

       If one of those copies is labeled “hair loss” and the other is labeled “hair for life,” the hair  loss gene will win out because hair loss is the dominant trait. Either your father or  mother could hand you the dominant hair loss gene.

Can Smoking Cause Hair Loss?

Smoking cigarettes has long been associated with many health problems a person can have. While the list of health problems associated with smoking cigarettes is a very long one, here are some of the major health problems caused by smoking: respiratory disease, heart disease and lung cancer.

With that being said, can smoking cigarettes cause hair loss? Smoking cigarettes may speed up the hair loss process. If you have some sort of genetic pattern baldness and smoke, the hair loss that you experience may happen at a faster pace. The toxins from cigarettes may lead to malnutrition of your hair follicles causing them to die quicker and may cause you to lose your hair more quickly. Stopping smoking will not change your hair loss, but may slow down the process.

http://www.belgraviacentre.com/blog/can-smoking-cigarettes-cause-a-hair-loss-condition/

Smoking by itself cannot cause hair loss, but smoking can also lead to many different types of cancers that may need to be treated by undergoing chemotherapy. Certain forms of chemotherapy treatments may lead to hair loss.

So the answer to the question is no. Smoking cannot directly cause hair loss. However, if you do smoke you should talk to your doctor or a hair care physician at IHRS to better understand the effects of smoking on your health and your hair. Visit Hair4me.com for more information.
