Wanting Our Youth Back as We Age
Naturally as people age,
the inclination is to use measures to retain a youthful look. Who really wants
to deal with potential hair loss -or a ton of gray hair -when it's not
welcome?
Melanin is the pigment that gives the hair color. Since they lose melanin
with age, many will use stronger permanent hair color dyes. The final hair
color is produced when the hair dye interacts with the melanin.
Gray hair is usually harder to dye by this measure because of the dramatically
lowered melanin level. Additionally, permanent chemical dyes can
damage the hair shaft, since it becomes thinner and finer as we age.
How We Lose Our Hair as We Age
Numerous men and women are affected by hair loss conditions that are extremely difficult to prevent:
Heredity
'We are who we are' or better said: 'who made us who we are'. If a condition such as male –pattern baldness has spanned generations in our family. Guess what?
Medical Condition
There are varying underlying medical conditions that cause hair loss and it’s best to visit a dermatologist to determine if persistent hair loss could be caused by one of these conditions.
However, other countless men and women are affected by hair loss conditions that are preventable:
Natural Factors
- Using harsh chemicals in hair dye such as para-phenylenediamene (PPD) -that can potentially cause major damage to hair and health.
- Unhealthy diet can prevent essential nutrients from reaching the hair shaft, thus causing hair loss.
- Physical inactivity can also contribute to our cells not producing enough oxygen, which can affect our entire body, as well as healthy hair growth.
- Excessive stress can wreak havoc to our hair.
- Not following a healthy hair maintenance routine.
How We Can Keep Our Hair as We Age
- Basically do the opposite of what is listed above under the heading, “Natural Factors”.
- Use a plant-based hair dye. Dermatologists have recommended the use of all natural pure henna for hair to prevent potential scalp allergy and hair loss caused by the overuse of chemical hair dye. Pure henna coats the hair and doesn’t penetrate the hair shaft, like synthetic hair dye.
- Eat a well-balanced, nutrient-rich healthy diet.
- Move it! That’s right: Keep active and get that vital oxygen to every part of your body.
- Avoid unnecessary stress: Learn to R-E-L-A-X.
- Follow a healthy hair maintenance routine. Include beneficial botanical ingredients that have been proven to stop hair loss, produce good hair color and grow hair –since ancient times.
Even though aging can be a challenge, preventative measures go a long way in maintaining our hair color and avoiding hair fall. With proper application, you'll be able to look in the mirror and love, not only your hair color, but the fact that is it still healthy.
