4 Habits That Damage The Hair

Natural Hair - Continuing my previous article ( 3 Habits That Damage The Hair ), this time I will explain four other habits that can make the hair become damaged. You should pay attention to your hair care habits, because preventing certainly better than curing.

1. Too frequent washing of hair

Because it feels greasy, many people have the habit of washing hair every day. Washing hair with shampoo every day can remove the natural oils that actually required. Washing hair too often actually trigger the scalp to continue to produce oil to replace oil lost because of the shampoo.

The natural oil should reach the tip of the hair to make hair look healthy, but this will not happen if you wash your hair every day with shampoo. If possible, wash every 2-3 days to let the natural oils in your hair perform its functions. Wash with clean water without shampoo if you need a freshness to the scalp every day.

2. Using the wrong comb

Using the wrong comb can also damage the hair. Improper comb can make it difficult to comb your hair and cause hair breakage. The longer the hair, then select the larger comb to be easy to straighten hair.

3. Forget the hair care

If your hair is colored, has dandruff, or losing, you should immediately look for the proper care. The longer let your hair with these conditions will make the problem more difficult to treat. Use a shampoo or hair care product that suits your problem. If the problem persists, consult with your hair stylist or dermatologist to find the solution of the problem.

4. Too many chemicals

To keep your hair healthy, try as often as possible to let the hair in its natural state. Do not get too often overload your hair with a variety of styling products like gel, wax, or hairspray. Frequent use of these products will make the hair sticky and easy to have dandruff if not cleaned properly.

3 Habits That Damage The Hair

Natural Hair - Many people who complain about hair is often not aware if they are actually in the habit of treating hair which makes their hair becomes damaged. Here are some habits that can make the hair become damaged.

1. Tying the hair too often

Tying the hair is a practical way to keep hair neat. But do you realize, you could make your hair and scalp became strained and stressed? Some problems that may arise are headaches and hair loss.

Should not be too tight tying of hair so the hair can still breathe. In addition, try to always change the point of hair ties in order to avoid constant pressure at the same point.

Do not tie your hair all day, it is intended to allow your hair to rest and prevent the scalp becomes strained. If possible, do the variations in styling the hair so it is not easily fragile. Occasionally let your hair down, use a brace to help straighten hair.

2. Wrong in using a hair dryer

There are rules to dry the hair. Do not use a hair dryer to dry your hair while still in a very wet when just finished shampooing. This will make the hair more brittle and easily broken. Preferably, first dry the hair with a towel until damp. After that you can use a hair dryer at medium temperature, not too hot.

To get a healthy hair, it's worth to buy a good quality hair dryer where the temperature can be adjusted. Some hair dryer also provide a cold air features to dry your hair. This could be an alternative choice in drying hair to keep hair healthy. We recommend that the maximum time to dry your hair using hot air no more than 20 minutes.    

3. Change the texture of hair

Curly or straight hair can be equally beautiful, as long as it laid out correctly. No need to force yourself to change the texture of the hair with various treatments that can be damaging. Know your hair type and texture. Hair that thin and easily broken should not be burdened with a lot of chemical treatments that can make it getting damaged.

Using a hair straightener every day can also make the hair become brittle and fall off easily. For fragile and sensitive hair, the process to restore damaged hair can take a long time. If you still decide to change the texture of the hair, make sure you always use a regular hair care.

Benefits of Black Chocolate

Chocolate is always be a favorite food of all ages. Besides it tastes delicious, chocolate also has a good benefit for the body. Recently another benefit of black chocolate has been found. A study says that eating black chocolate has health benefits equal to those who perform sports activities.

Dr. Moh Malek, Wyne State University researcher who focuses on the study of mitochondria, the energy generation sources that produce energy in cells, found a plant compound found in cocoa or chocolate, called epicatechin, which can stimulate the same muscle response to exercise.

"Mitochondria produce the energy used by cells in the body. The more mitochondria means the more energy is produced, and the more work you can do," said Dr. Malek.

This study uses epicatechin found in cocoa, given to mice twice a day for 15 days. At the same time, other mice underwent treadmill exercise for 30 minutes per day. Researchers discovered that mice who ate the epicatechin has the same performance as mice that trained on a treadmill.

The researchers hope the study can be an alternative to counter muscle loss due to age. "It appears that epicatechin treatment combined with exercise can be a means to offset the aging of muscles," adds Dr. Malek.

Mistakes in Skin Care (2)

Yesterday I have discussed five habits that may damage the skin. Now I will add 4 more habits that we often do unconsciously that can damage the skin beauty.

1. Wash your face first rather than to wash the hair

As mentioned in previous posts, the remnants of dirt and hair moisturizer in the shampoo will pass through the neck, back, face as well, and can close the pores of the skin in this section. Therefore, to avoid double work, you should wash your hair first, then wash your face. With this, the remaining dirt will not stick in your face.

2. Like to touch the skin

Touching the face with dirty hands should be avoided. If you currently have acne, then certainly, the dirt on the hands will actually make acne more inflamed. So stop touching your face with dirty hands!

3. Lazy to clean your face before bed  

When we sleep, the skin is working hard to suck the nutrients included in the surface. If you do not clean your face before bed, then the dirt will also be absorbed by the skin. As a result the skin looks dull and unhealthy.

4. Less sleep  

As explained above, sleep is the time for the skin to regenerate the cells and absorb the nutrients. If you sleep less, then automatically the skin time to repair performance would be reduced as well.

5. Not wash the back of the body after shampooing

When washing your hair after shampooing, the rest of moisturizer on the shampoo will go down through the back of the neck and back. If you don't rinse thoroughly, then the rest of moisturizer will cover the pores of the skin and often cause acne. So don't forget to always wash the back of the body after shampooing.

Products Make Up For Sensitive Skin (2)

For those of you who have sensitive skin it should be more careful in choosing beauty products. Allergic reactions due to wrong choice of beauty products can damage your skin. Many terms are used in beauty products on the market. All you need to consider include :

Hypoallergenic

For those of you who often having allergy symptoms such as itching, redness, burning sensation on the skin, or other allergic reactions, this label should be noted. The product will be labeled hypoallergenic if it passes the test to various types of skin allergies. Each of the materials to be used will be tested to see an allergic reaction. The best materials are used to reduce allergic skin reactions.

Although it is difficult to prevent all types of skin allergies, but the majority of common allergic complaints have been tried on this product. There is no product that really guarantee there will be no allergic reaction, but at least those of you who have sensitive skin can choose a product with this label to reduce the risk of skin irritation.  

Oil-free & Mineral Oil

Products labeled "oil free" contain oil (lanolin) very little or none at all. For oily skin that are vulnerable to acne, use of these products can reduce the risk of acne. But for dry skin, never use beauty products labeled oil-free.

Mineral oil that often written in the make-up material is a light oil-based petroleum. Commonly used in lip moisturizer products. Excessive use of products that contain mineral oil can disrupt the body's natural moisture and less good for sensitive skin.

No similar effect on the cosmetic to different people. Before deciding to use a product for the long term you should do a little experiment first. Visit the make-up store and apply a little product that you select in your hands. Wait 24 hours to see the reaction. If there is a reaction to irritation or skin disorder, you should consult to dermatologist to choose the right product for you.

Products Make Up For Sensitive Skin (1)

Naturally sensitive skin requires special attention. Choosing the wrong beauty products can be fatal such as skin irritation, acne or other skin disorders.

There are many terms in the make-up products on the market. Starting from hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, until the term non-comedogenic. Which one is right for sensitive skin?

Fragrance-free & Unscented 

Some products for sensitive skin is also often display a label "fragrance-free". While the product "unscented" means without scent. Well be careful to distinguish between them. "Fragrance-free" means containing no artificial fragrance, while the "unscented" may be using materials that eliminate the smell of perfumes or fragrances. So the "unscented" are not necessarily free of perfumes or fragrances. 

Why is this important? Some skins have allergic reactions to artificial fragrances contained in beauty products. Not just make-up, products such as shampoo, soap, and moisturizers also often contain perfumes or fragrances.

Artificial fragrance has a different reaction in each person. Allergies, such as itching, redness on the skin, or other allergic disorders are common allergic reactions to artificial fragrances. Artificial fragrances are the five major causes of allergies in the world. Besides having adverse effects on sensitive skin, in certain people, artificial fragrances can also disturb the brain and nervous system. Dizziness or shortness of breath is one of the symptoms that arise due to this substance.

Non-comedogenic

Especially for the skin prone to comedones, these products should be considered. Products with this label means, has been tested on oily skin, which is more prone to comedones. Comedones can appear due to clogged pores of the skin by using make-up. Generally more common in oily skin.

The product is claimed to be low-risk causes comedones, blackhead or whitehead. However, the effects of these products on each skin is different. For very oily skin, you can still experience the onset of comedones due to the use of make-up that labeled non-comedogenic. If your skin is considered very oily skin, you should first test the product on your skin before deciding to buy it.

Apples Prevent Blood Clotting

Eating an apple a day was able to reduce the risk of developing blood clots. Blood clotting is an early stage which can increase the risk of heart disease.

A team at Harvard Medical School have discovered a chemical, called a routine, an anti-clotting agent in the arteries and veins.

Routine can be found in apples, oranges, onions, black and green tea, which is expected to be an alternative treatment in the future to protect against heart attacks.

In that study, the researchers found that these chemicals helps to block harmful enzymes involved in the formation of blood clots. These enzymes - rotein disulfide isomerase (RDI) - is released very quickly when blood clots form in arteries and veins.

"Routine compounds proved to be the most potentially anti-blood clotting that we are testing. These findings suggest that the routine can treat and prevent this type of blood clots," said study leader Professor Robert Flaumenhaft.
