Re: //Dil Se Desi// 8 hair and skin myths, busted......................

Dear Priyanka
Thanks for your mail i hope you got some information on wrong myths people follow so follow these things which doctor told and for hair loss please read this mail given below
 
hope you got answer to ur question in the mail below
 
10 lifestyle mantras to beat hair loss.........................

We all want lustrous, healthy-looking hair. And we spend a pretty packet on trying to get it.
 
But most of us miss out on the basics -- like a good diet, a simple but effective daily hair regime and son on. Hence we experience hair conditions like dandruff and hair fall.

 
Trichologists Dr Apoorva Shah and Dr Sonal Shah, who have trained at the Institute of Trichology in London, are certified hair specialists advisors from the International Association of Trichologists, Australia, offer a few tips.
 
The husband and wife duo are also the official hair advisors for the Miss India contest.
 
Their mantras:
 
~i. Eat lots of paneer, spinach (palak), green veggies and milk.
 
~ii. Regularly oil and shampoo your hair. That's a must at least three times a week, to nourish your scalp. Applied oil must be washed within 24 hours or else it could mix with dust and clog the pores.
 
~iii. If you are allergic to oil then try to use medicated oil. Or else go in for a potion or hair tonic which has no component of oil. These too can nourish your scalp. They are also known as hair vitalisers.
 
~iv. Henna is also a good scalp conditioner, but not a good hair conditioner as it tends to make the hair dry and brittle. Hence you must use oil after washing off the henna, before shampooing.  
 
~v. Washing your hair after a session of rigorous exercise like gymming, jogging etc when the scalp tends to sweat a lot is a must.
 
~vi. Once in a while chemical treatments like perming, chemical straightening etc are alright, but too much of it causes breakage of hair.
 
~vii. Another reason for hair getting damaged is heat exposure to the hair and scalp, with a blow-dryer, hot oil or hot water and usings combs with sharp teeth.
 
~viii. Never comb your hair when it is wet. Towel drying is the best way to dry your hair.
 
Why does hair fall?
 
Lack of hair oil, acute illness, dandruff, emotional shock or stress, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiency and hair colouring, sans the correct regime to go with it.
 
Of these, stress is a major cause of hair loss and baldness, in India and this condition is called Alopecia areata
 
ix) The cure for this is simple -- learn to live a relaxed life through regular meditation, occasional massages, music, yoga and prayers, which are all excellent stress busters.
 
x) Last but not the least, good hair is the barometer of good health, so practice these mantras and let your hair shine.

"We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever."
 
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them". -- Mother Teresa
 
Never take some one for granted,Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones."
Remember this always in life.
 
   
Thanks & Regards

8 hair and skin myths, busted......
By Dr Parul Kolhe M B B S, DDV and DNB in dermatology.
 
We all have certain fixed ideas about what's good for us and what isn't. These ideas are often fuelled by folklore, incomplete knowledge from various publications or the Internet, incorrect interpretation of this knowledge and, of course, misinformation and exaggeration by television commercials. To set the record straight -- at least as far as skincare goes -- here are a few common myths and the truth behind them.
 
Myth: "My sunscreen will prevent tanning"
 
Fact: No sunscreen prevents tanning. It only decreases sun induced skin damage such as sunburn and delays photo-aging. Only a physical block like dark cloth or an umbrella can protect you.
 
Myth: "The longer I keep hair oil on, the better it is for my hair"
 
Fact: You actually need hair oil only for half an hour to an hour. It merely smoothens frizzled hair cuticles and is not absorbed into the hair shaft or scalp. In fact, keeping oil in your hair for a longer period or overnight traps dirt, causes build up of residue and leads to blackheads and acne on the forehead.
 
Myth: "My skin is normal / oily, so I don't need moisturizer"
 
Fact: Moisturiser does not add oil to the skin -- it hydrates, ie makes water molecules move into the cells of your skin, making it look smoother and softer. In fact, even oily skin needs frequent cleansing to remove excess oil and sebaceous secretion, followed by an application of moisturiser.
 
Myth: "Applying cream at night is bad as it prevents my skin from breathing"
 
Fact: Most of the skin's self-repairing activity occurs at night and nourishment given at this time can only maximise benefits. Most night creams are non oil-based, non-greasy formulations that do not block pores and supply essential rejuvenating substances.
 
Myth: "Home / natural remedies are 100 per cent safe"
 
Fact: If you have sensitive skin, even homemade packs and natural cleansers (eg turmeric, multani mitti, besan) can cause allergies or irritant reactions. Not all skin types are alike, so what works for most people may backfire for you. Always perform a test patch of a home remedy before applying it all over your face.
 
Myth: "Shampooing frequently increases hair fall"
 
Fact: Shampooing only dislodges hair that is already dead (Telogen Hair), which otherwise would have shed off on its own without your realising it. Live hair, in its growing stage (Anagen Hair), cannot be pulled out by shampooing. It is normal to lose 100 strands of hair per day.
 
Myth: "Fairness cream will transform me from a black beauty to a swan"
 
Fact: No one is going to offer you a movie role after three months of applying any cream in the world. Your skin colour is largely genetic and fairness products can make a difference of a few shades. Be realistic in your expectations. Yes, with intensive skin improvement, under a dermatologist's supervision, your skin can definitely become more even toned, less patchy, healthier and up to 30 to 35 per cent lighter -- but no one can make you Snow White -- that's a fairy tale!
 
Myth: "Stress causes greying of hair"
 
Fact: Stress only causes falling of hair. This affects only black hair, which is how the grey begins to show more as the black hair decreases. Greying, especially premature greying, is determined more by your genes.
