How to control dandruff The flakes that we call dandruff, or scurf, are actually an accumulation of dead skin cells. When the cells of the scalp grow too fast, they clump together noticeably in the hair. Static electricity and sticky, oily hair surfaces keep the scales from falling. Any scaling may be called dandruff; but most cases are probably just a mild form of seborrhoeic dermatitis. The actual... 

Hair Care with Vegetarian Nutrition It seems that vegetarianism, particularly among young teenagers, is becoming more popular, and although many children are brought up vegetarian because their parents are, young adults are easily influ­enced by their vegetarian peers – or they may read that this or that celebrity is vegetarian and think it cool if they follow suit.

Your Health and Your Hair Most of you at one time or another have connected the behavior of your hair with the way you feel: the state of your health, the degree of stress or worry, sleep patterns, pregnancies (in both sexes it may surprise you to know), menstrual cycle, short- or long-term illnesses, fevers and, very importantly, the drugs, vita­mins and minerals you take to counteract them all....

But hair loss from it is usually reversible. The most common age, it seems,... 

Tips for Tangled Hair One of the most common frustrations is hair tangling. It can be a simple tangle, leading you to tug on your brush or comb in an attempt to remove it, or you may have a very serious tangle, which is often referred to as a ‘snarl’.

Internal Hair Loss Treatment for Men The internal method tries to control the main culprit, which is di-hydro-testosterone (DHT). The testes produce testosterone. This on its own doesn’t do the damage: it’s when the conversion into DHT occurs that can be the problem.
