Keeping
Your Hair Clean and Healthy.
Water is essential for a healthy scalp and hair. When washing your hair, try using soft water instead of hard water and a shampoo that has a pH of 7.
A combination of both of these will reduce a breeding ground for bacteria.
Making your own shampoo is even better because you are sure of the product
content. Avoid shampoos that
contain sodium lauryl,
sodium laureth, propylene glycol. Your hair may thin due to stress,
genetics, diets, medications, mechanical manipulation, and menopause.
Other factors that may
contribute to hair loss include, excessive heat,
improper use of hair chemical, hair products containing alcohol, some
drugs, thyroid disease, inadequate protein in your diet, low iron,
birth
control pills and other things. But with the right diet and
proper excersise you can reduce
the level of hair loss.
