Hair Under The Microscope

 

Hair shapes human physical appearances. It became a feature that people are obsessed with and are willing to put in effort and money to enhance it. Salons are appearing like mushrooms after rain in every corner in the country. Uncountable individuals are making a living by becoming barber, hairdresser and hair specialists. A lot of people are doing sales for hair products too. Hair products just keep on increasing since there is an ever-growing market for these products. Although people generally spend a lot of time caring and grooming their hair, not many of them are aware of the true image of hair under the microscope.

 

Figure 1 The image of a hair shaft enlarged under an electron microscope.

Typical human hair consists of the follicle and a shaft. A follicle or fondly known as the hair bulb is a structure beneath the skin of actively growing cells which eventually produce hair (hair shaft). Cells continually divide in the lower part of the bulb. The rapid divisions of cells at the base of the follicle pushed upward forming hair shaft as they harden and undergo pigmentation. The shaft are dead tissues protruding above the skin and composed of three layers, namely the medulla, cortex and the cuticle.

Figure 2 The cross-section showing three main components of a hair shaft.

 

Cuticle is the transparent outermost layer. It’s made of scales that overlap each other with the free ends of the scales directed toward the tip of the shaft. The scaly cuticle is to protect the inner layers of the hair. This delicate protective layer minimizes the movement of water in and out of the underlying cortex as well as holding the whole hair structure together. In a healthy condition, the cuticle will be smooth, shiny and intact. However, prolonged exposure to chemical, pollutions and harsh weather can lift the cuticle and disrupt this balance.

 

As shown in the pictures above, when the cuticle layer is perfectly closed, hair looks glossy and doesn’t tend to tangle or break. When a cuticle scales are raised or wide open, the scaly hair strands will rub against each other causing tangles. To avoid this, we should protect hair under harsh weather by wearing hats or using umbrellas, we should avoid chemical ingredients in hair care and we should minimize the usage of hot styling tools, and other product or treatments that is harmful to the hair.

 

The layer just beneath the cuticle is the cortex which is also the largest part of the hair shaft, forms the main bulk of hair. The cortex consists of long keratin filaments and consisted of compact, elongated cells and it is the part of the hair that contains pigment granules that give hair its colour. Pigment distribution varies from shaft to shaft, which sometimes causes uneven hair colour distribution. The health of the cortex depends largely on the integrity of the cuticle protecting it.

 

 

The central core of a hair shaft is the medulla but this component is not always present, especially in hairs with a thinner diameter. If present, it consists of a thin core of transparent cells and composed largely of air spaces as it often appears to be a hollow tube. However, this hollow tube could be filled with cells in fragmented form, continuous or even double. The medulla can contain pigment granules or unpigmented.

 

Using a single hair shaft, forensic scientist could find out many information of an individual including collecting DNA for identification purpose, testing for drugs or nutritional deficiencies in their body system.

 

Since we know aware of how hair under the microscope looks like. It is easier to illustrate the mechanism of hair keratin fibres that that is popularly used to enhance the cosmetic value of hair. The premium keratin in Toppik Hair Fibres is nearly identical to human hair, allowing the fibres to blend naturally and undetectably. The natural Keratin used by Toppik has an innate static charge that ensures their fibres adhere to each hair shaft regardless of any hair type. Toppik’s innovative technology allows the fibers to resist wind, rain and perspiration while filling in all the thinning area and balding spots on the head.

Reversing Hair Loss Naturally

 

In comparison with natural healing remedies, modern pharmaceuticals have been in use for a relatively short period of time. Aborigine tribes across the centuries have been using natural treatments and medicines made from plants and animals as they believe that these natural remedies are the perfection that nature has provide us with in order for us to survive. Pharmaceuticals are the achievement from the desires of mankind to imitate and improve upon what nature has given us.   

In many admirations, natural remedies are far more progressive then modern pharmaceutical remedies which more often than not, only deal with soothing the symptoms rather than dealing with the underline health issue itself. While there is no disagreeing the efficiency of modern medicine in treating a wide range of ailments for many individuals, they do however have some side effects. Many of synthetic chemicals used came with a long list of possible side effects attributed to them. Every medical conditions are different and every individual is unique so it is only normal that modern medicine did not work for some of them, or it might be that they want to try natural medicine first or even in conjunction with modern medicine. The case can be applied to all sort of health issues including the disorder of hair loss.

 

Saw Palmetto

 

In the United States, Saw Palmetto extract is ranked as the third most sold herbal dietary supplements. This amazing plant is able to treat a number of illnesses from headaches, colds, coughs and asthma to chronic bronchitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and migraine. It’s also used as a natural remedy to increase urine flow, to enhance sexual drive and to curb hair loss naturally. Here we will focus on how the extract of this plant works in supporting hair growth. As people age, their male androgen hormone, scientifically called 5α-Dihydrotestosterone or DHT in short, increases. This DHT causes hair follicles to shrink, resulting in a decrease of hair production. Thanks to the trait of Saw palmetto being anti-DHT, the DHT production could be blocked, preventing the shrinking of hair follicles, making it beneficial for hair growth.

 

Although no minimum effective dose has been established so far, a dose of 160 milligrams taken twice daily has been tested to produce constructive results in clinical research studies. The time taken for the supplement to be effective may take as long as 30 days.

 

 

 

 

 

Ashwagandha

 

Ashwagandha has so many restorative properties that it is called as the Indian Ginseng. It is a small shrub with yellow flowers and red fruit with the extract typically taken from the berries or roots of the plant. This antioxidant herb shows optimistic results in numerous minor and major health problems including but not limited to skin conditions, inflammation, insomnia, anxiety, asthma, skin conditions, hormonal imbalance, dementia and Parkinson’s disease.

Just like ginseng, Ashwagandha is a type of adaptogen herb, a unique class of healing plants that are able to help balance, restore and protect the body. Adaptogen aids in adaptation to stress and lowering the aging hormone, cortisol. Since a healthy body could be traced back to heathy hair, Ashwagandha is great for growing thicker hair. When included in hair care preparations, it manages dandruff and greasy hair, increases scalp circulation and improve hair growth. The powerful antioxidants in Ashwagandha fight the free radicals that causes hair greying, preserving natural hair colour.  

Taking one 6 mg capsule of Ashwagandha herbs daily helps to eliminates toxins in the body and purifies your system, while treating several hair problems on the go.

 

 

 

Pumpkin Seed Oil

 

Pumpkin plays all kind of roles, from getting Cinderella to his prince, to scaring kids in Halloween to the root of your hair, inhibiting DHT formation throughout the body and contains fatty acids that support thick hair. As mentioned in the first point in this article, DHT does a lot of damage to the hair follicles to the extent that hair production slows and even halts. Pumpkin seed oil contains the phytosterol beta-sitosterol which reduces the damage done by DHT by inhibiting the conversion of useful testosterone into the harmful hormone. The mechanism is possible because the oil of the see has a steroid known as delta-7-sterol which competes for the same receptors as DHT.

According to the official study available at the US National Library of Medicine, patients who took two capsulated pumpkin seed oil in the morning and two in the evening before breakfast and dinner. Each capsule contained 100mg of pumpkin seed oil, for a total of 400mg of pumpkin seed oil daily. Another source suggested the taking of 1 tablespoon (8grams) of liquid pumpkin seed oil daily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Biotin & Vitamin B5

 

Biotin, or Vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that’s a part of the vitamin B complex. Biotin can be found in food such as fish, eggs, organ meats, avocado, cauliflower, berries, legumes and mushrooms. Biotin and Vitamin B5 are nutrients that helps us keep a youthful, attractive appearance since it plays a major part in maintaining the health of our hair, nails and skin. Among others, it helps to protect skin from acne, fungal infections, rashes and severe dryness and cracking. Hence, biotin is commonly added to hair and skin beauty products, however it is believed to be not very well absorbed through the skin and must be ingested to reach maximum efficiency.

 

 

 

 

Zinc and Omega 3

 

Experts believe that deficiency in zinc can lead to deterioration of the protein structure that makes up our hair follicles. Weakened hair follicles are the main cause of hair shedding and hair loss. Zinc is also known to play a vital role in DNA and RNA production. This is essential for the normal division cell of hair follicle cells, leading to healthier hair growth. Examples of food rich in zinc are eggs, chickpeas, oysters, sweet potatoes, spinach and nuts. Omega 3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that effectively prevent hair follicles from shrinking and inflammation. Examples of omega-3 rich foods are natto, walnuts, egg yolk, salmon, mackerel, tuna, white fish, sardines, and hemp seeds. If you don’t eat enough omega-3 foods, take one to two capsules or one tablespoon of a top-notch fish oil supplement to help reduce inflammation that causes hair disorders.

When the body is not getting the proper nutrients to grow strong hair, the hairs that are lost regularly each day are not being replaced easily, and hair loss problems might persist.

Laser Hair Loss Treatment

 

Hair loss has been a persisting problem for generations. While some people found their solutions through traditional hair restoring methods,

modern medication and surgical hair transplants, these solutions don’t always work for everyone. Every individual reacts differently to different side effects,

ingredients and drugs and since most of the treatments take a lot of time and effort before giving any noticeable results;

the failures always impacted the patient in a significant negative way.

Do keep in mind that stress and depression are also a factor of hair loss.

This made it into a cycle of incurable hair loss since failure of treatment produces high stress which further encourages hair loss.

 

In 2007, low-level light therapy (LLLT) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe treatment for hair loss.

LLLT is a type of laser hair loss treatment and alternatively known as cold laser, soft laser, low power laser, low level laser therapy,

red light therapy, therapeutic laser therapy, bio stimulation, and photo-bio modulation. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a general term

that describes any sort of phototherapy or laser treatment that does not break the skin layer. On top of being clinically proven and FDA cleared,

LLLT administered to the scalp has been shown to enhance the health of existing hair and to encourage new hair growth.

The principle behind laser hair loss treatment is to stimulate the blood supply in the scalp with the appropriate wavelength of light.

These lights brings in energy which heightens cells activities, stimulating blood vessels and allowing for more nutrients to reach the hair follicles,

even dormant follicles, bringing overall improvement to hair growth. The process is painless. Laser hair loss treatment can be practiced with the taking

of both oral and topical medication. Due to of its additional skin repairing properties, LLLT may also be used to aid healing of the scalp after hair transplant surgery.

 

Two types of LLLT that produced positive feedbacks are the iGrow and the Revage with success rate of 85% and an increase of hair density by 40% to 60%.

 

A number of companies now sell handheld, low-intensity lasers for home use that are called laser comb or laser helmet with usage instructions as

frequent as three times a week for 10 to 15 minutes. For home use appliances that can be easily available online, it is important to check the status of

FDA clearance (especially for women), insurance coverage and the background of the retailers. While many hair specialists are sceptical,

(unsure if their claims are based on true facts or to encourage patients seeks treatments from specialists’ clinics) studies showed that it takes at

least six months for effects to show and this is not even seen in all patients.

It also would not work if the hair follicles are too damaged to the extent of having a shiny bald head.

 

Recently, another home-use device with greater laser power than most in-office systems was developed under the name Laser Cap (Transdermal Company).

It complies with all US and International product safety standards. The product contains 5-mW laser diodes in a mesh network that fits under a cap

or a hat and covers the entire top of the scalp. It is nearly 40 times the power of comb-lasers and infinitely easier to use with a rechargeable battery

for treatment to be administered conveniently while “on the go” in a discreet fashion. The LaserCap is available to patients at USD $2,999.00,

excluding taxes and shipping or through physicians at a rental cost.

LaserCap is a non-chemical, non-invasive, pain-free treatment that can be applied anywhere and anytime you can wear a hat or cap.

 

 

In summary, all emerging LLLT technologies that are FDA approved are safe, acceptable and easy-to-use treatment option for patients with hair loss problems.

The limited surveys conducted do support the efficacy of these laser hair loss treatment tools.  

However, proper considerations and treatment procedures must be better clarified in order to make this treatment more universally accepted. 

More studies and researches are needed to optimize treatment parameters and determine long-term efficacy as well as security of emerging LLLT technologies.

ANTI DHT Hair Loss Treatment Malaysia

What is DHT?

DHT stands for dihydro testosterone.

DHT is a sex steroid and an androgen hormone. It is produced in the gonads. Roughly 5% of free testosterone is normally converted into DHT.

The enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to the more potent DHT is called the 5-alpha-reductase (5-AR).

Thus, if there is an increase in 5-AR in the body, there will be an increase in the conversion of testosterone into DHT and consequently an increase in hair loss.

 

What is the role of DHT?

DHT are responsible for the biological characteristics that characterize males in individual – formation of male genitalia, deep voices,

hairy chests and increased muscle mass, for example.

 

 

What is the problem with DHT?

DHT is entirely necessary for most hair growth on the body but is detrimental to head hair growth. DHT attach to androgen receptors on

hair follicles and genetically trigger the receptors to begin miniaturizing, disrupting normal hair growth. To back this up, researchers discovered

higher levels of DHT on follicles and skin of balding scalps than those from non-balding scalps. Male pattern baldness sufferers are actually

inheriting a condition where their hair follicles are genetically sensitive to DHT. The sensitive hair follicles begin to shrink, shortening the lifespan

of follicles and ending the production of cosmetically acceptable hair.  

 

 

What are Anti DHT Hair Loss Treatments?

  

1.Propecia

FINAS TERIDE is a type 2-selective inhibitor of 5-AR. Since DHT is a much stronger androgen than testosterone with about three to five times more

binding strength to the androgen receptor, the removal of 5-AR from these tissues can dramatically blocked the formation of DHT. Rather than act upon the hair follicles,

Propecia is believed to act on the prostate to inhibit the enzyme 5-AR which directly inhibit DHT’s production.

The drug is available in tablets form and is marketed under two product branding, namely Aindeem and Propecia. The daily dose is one tablet (1mg)

and it is strictly for use in adult men only. It must not be taken by anyone aged under the age of 18 years or by women as it is harmful to unborn baby.

It might also trigger allergic reactions in some adult men, rendering them unsuitable to consume the medicines.

 

Nevertheless, studies of its efficacy have yielded impressive results within a few months with very rare (1-3% of men) side effects regarding to sexuality such

as loss of libido, reduced erection ability and/or decrease in ejaculate. However, the medication must be taken orally daily and indefinitely for if the medication

is stopped, the balding will continue. Propecia offers hope to people suffers from hair loss but it does not reverse the problem quickly nor permanently as some

people took longer time (up to a year) to notice the full benefits. It might not be the final answer to many but it could be a less risky alternatives than surgery.

 

However, while waiting for the medication to produce results, one could always look into other faster result-producing products such as Toppik Hair Building Fibres at www.toppikmalaysia.com/shop .

 

2.Anti-DHT Shampoos

 

All the hair loss treatments in the world will have minimal effect to your hair loss problems if the scalp on your head is still occupied by high concentration of DHT.

 

Thus, this is where Anti-DHT shampoos come in to play their roles in cleaning and clearing out as much dead skins, pollutants and DHT from your scalp as possible.

These shampoos contain special ingredients to reverse the shiny balding skin on your head and to promote hair growth by having DHT blocker ingredients.

Some well-known anti-DHT ingredients are saw palmetto, roibios, nettle leaf, pygeum extract, green tea extract, linonelic acid, Azelaic acid, emu oil and pumpkin seed oil.

If you suffer from hair loss problem and are using a shampoo, it’s worth massaging quality ingredients to your scalp daily that may also help to reduce scalp DHT levels.

When checking for DHT blocker ingredients, it is also important to note the volume of active ingredients because a low amount is unlikely to produce satisfying results.

 

That said, it’s better to go for a shampoo with less ingredients, but higher levels of the important active ingredients.

It is also useful to look up for other ingredients according to individual needs. For instances, niacin works in increasing the blood circulation in the scalp, biotin aids

in cells production in the scalp, jojoba oil increases hair growth while zinc and ketaconazole helps to reduce fungal infections in the scalp.

 

Various plant extracts, Rosemary oil, vitamin E and B-vitamin complex are thought to be beneficial for hair growth and hair health in overall.

Salicylic acid helps clear sebum and dead skin cells from the scalp while tea tree oil keeps scalp pores healthy and open.

These products are deemed safe and efficient when used accordingly but do come with minor side effects. Minoxidil are suitable for both genders.

Finasteride is only to be used in men as it can be quite harmful to women. It is a prescribed drug taken orally in tablets form.

The medical treatments may be used separately or in combination, as recommended by the physician hair restoration specialist.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Laser Therapy

 

Laser therapy has been known to treat a variety of health conditions including removing acne, killing tumour and restoring hair growth.

In hair growth, it utilizes therapeutic lasers, which are low level class III lasers. The full name for these treatments are sometimes called as

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), low dose laser, soft laser, cold laser, red light therapy and bio stimulation.

balding patches being covered up by thicker hair.

To date, there are many marketed portable devices for this method such as the laser-comb that can be bought and used at home.

 

 

 

 

3. Diet Plans

 

Many varying factors contribute to hair loss, it can be genetics, diet, stress, level of physical activities, side effects of other underlying

health problems and environmental factors. While you can’t change the DNA that you get from your parents, there are quite a number of factors

that can be controlled or reversed. One of them is by changing our diet plans to include plenty of lean meats, fish, fruits and vegetables

for proper growth of hair follicle. Herbal supplements and other important vitamins and minerals such as Zinc, Iron, Vitamin B,

Copper among others, could also be taken.

and Keratin to increase hair strength as well as follicle flexibility.

6. Cosmetic Covers Up

 

The idea of people putting cosmetics on their faces to enhance their facial features and to create an artificial beauty is so widely embraced.

There are these non-prescription cosmetic products made from keratin fibres that bulk-up thinning hair and bald patched in no time.

7. Physical Cover Up

 

Strategic haircuts and headwear are the best short-term solution to improve physical appearance while people wait for hair transplantation or

when they are taking their time to decide on other riskier methods to deal with hair loss. One of the fastest ways to create the illusion of thicker

hair if you have long thinning hair is to cut it off because shorter hair tends to look healthier and have more volume, since it’s not weighed down by extra inches.

Find a skilful hairdresser who can add strategic layers, creating the illusion of high volume hairstyle. When dyeing your hair, aim a few shades

lighter than your natural color to make visible patches of scalp less noticeable. Last but not least, invest in a few funky headwear such as snapbacks,

hats and beanies that can disguise your hair condition while making you fashionable.

as these two ingredients would be readily available in the kitchen. Both onion and garlic are not only good for our body but also good for our hair.

stimulate blood circulation an important process to the scalp for proper hair growth and prevent hair loss. To apply onion, you need to chop it finely and

extract out the juice. Massage the scalp well with the extract and wash off with a mild shampoo.

Herbal hair loss treatments have been around much longer than the modern medicine and they were significant parts of the recorded history as

well as in the daily life of many who are practising these treatments. Since herbs and the other ingredients used are derived from natural sources, they do

not contain harsh chemical and would be generally safe to be used. However, user should do their own research and seek advice before trying on a

Everything You Need to Know About  Propecia (Finasteride)

 

 

 

In 1992, pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. developed a synthetic compound called finasteride and created a medicine called Proscar

with a 5mg content of finasteride to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)or widely known as an enlarged prostate gland.

Merck later discovered an extraordinary side effect of Proscar treatment where some of the patients with hair fall condition reported hair growth

after taking the medicine. Through numerous researches and clinical trials, they found out by dropping the dosage of finasteride to 1mg, it could be used to

correct androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness, a hereditary condition that affects close to 50% of the male population aged 50 or older.

However, this medicine could only be used in men. It is not indicated for use in women and children.

Clinical studies over the years demonstrated in men (18 to 41 years old) with mild to moderate male pattern hair loss had confirmed the effectiveness

of Propecia (finasteride) treatment. At 12 months, 86% of the men reported positive feedback on hair growth.

Patient self-assessment disclosed improvement across racial groups with Propecia (finasteride) treatment with mainly satisfaction of the frontal hairline.

 

 

To date, there are only two type of drugs that have been approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as legitimate hair loss treatment

products and Propecia (Finasteride) is one of them.  Propecia (finasteride) comes in the form of pinkish orange octagonal film-coated convex

tablets for oral administration. The tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient finasteride during normal handling but

once it is broken or crushed, the active ingredient is exposed, making it unsafe to be handled by pregnant women or women who may potentially be pregnant.

This is due to the possibility of absorption of finasteride and the subsequent potential risk to a male foetus. Experiments with female rats has shown

that low doses of finasteride administered during pregnancy have produced abnormalities of the external genitalia in male offspring and this is a possibility in human as well.

Propecia (finasteride) tablets require physician prescription. Each tablets contain 1mg of finasteride as the active ingredient

and the tablet is to be taken once daily and can be administered with or without meals.

 

 

While it is hazardous for women to use the product, Propecia (finasteride) also came with a lot of side effects in general use for men,

especially regarding sexuality.

 

The most common side effects include:

• Testicular pain
• A decrease in sex drive
• A decrease in semen production
• Trouble in getting a penal erection
• Trouble in keeping a penal erection
• Trouble with sperm ejaculation
• Male infertility
• Low sperm count
• Poor sperm quality
• Changes breasts such as lumps, tenderness, enlargement or nipple discharge. In rare cases, male breast cancer.

 

 

 

In 2011, the FDA revealed that many of the deficiency in sexual function listed above may continue even after the drug is no longer being used.

In April 2012, FDA officially made another revision to the product, announcing the continuation in experiencing sexual side effects after cessation of use.

Besides sexual complications, Propecia (finasteride) also cause ill health in terms of allergic reactions such as rash, itching,

hives and swelling of the lips, tongue, throat, and face. Read more on this topic at www.toppikmalaysia.com/blog

If the treatment with Propecia (finasteride) is paused, hair loss problem will resume, because these treatments don’t usually have any effects beyond active use.

Any delay or disturbance to the constant consumption of the drugs will affect the results. Even in continuous usage, the drug needs months to prove their functions.

In the meantime, everybody needs to carry on with their daily life. There might be some events to attend, important people to meet, and special appearances to be made.

While the Propecia (finasteride) tablets are taking their time kicking into your system,

most people will resolve to instant Hair Building Fibres to create a full hair set in no time.

Toppik does an extremely good job in working in that particular direction.

 

Just a few shake of the Toppik Hair Building Fibres on your balding or thinning spots and voila, these unsightly spots are well hidden.

Everything You Need to Know About Rogaine Minoxidil In Malaysia

 

Today, of all the products on the market claiming to be able to successfully treat the ever present problem of hair loss, there are only two type of drugs

that have been approved by United States, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as legitimate hair loss treatment products.

One of the drugs are Rogaine Minoxidil  . Rogaine Minoxidil is the first topical brand to be FDA-approved to

help regrow hair in both sexes but dermatologists suggested that Rogaine tends to be a better option for women.

 

 

Ironically, the U.S. FDA initially approved Rogaine Minoxidil as treatment for male pattern baldness in 1988. It took three years before

FDA extend the approval for use in women in 1991. After Rogaine was made available for purchase without prescription in 1995,

the manufacturer has extended its product line to include various formulations,

the most recent being a foam preparation for men, which launched in the year 2006.

As of March 2010, products of Rogaine Minoxidil include Rogaine Foam and Rogaine Extra Strength Solution for men,

which contain 5% of the active ingredient minoxidil;

and Rogaine Topical Solution for women, which contains 2% minoxidil. The lower concentration is recommended for women

user as there is a potential for some women the medication trickles down onto the face or the stain on the hand is not washed away properly.

This risk is relatively lower for women who use the 2% concentration of the drug, as opposed to the 5% concentration that is designed for men.

 

 

Rogaine Minoxidil is an over-the-counter topical treatment that usually comes in two forms, namely as liquid or as foam.

Liquid Rogaine for men and women is applied directly to a towel-dried hair with dry scalp using a dropper. According to the manufacturer,

the dropper should be filled to the 1 ml line and carefully applied to the areas of the scalp where hair is thinning, starting with the crown of the

head first then continuing to other areas of the affected scalp. The liquid Rogaine Minoxidil is then gently massaged into the skin using the fingertips.

It is used primarily for treating androgenetic alopecia (also called male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness), and alopecia aerate, an autoimmune disease.

More about these diseases in www.toppikmalaysia.com/blog .

Application should be twice a day and the products might take up to four months of daily usage to show maximum effect.

The desirable effect would be thickened hair shafts and increase of hair follicles.

 

 

 An applicator is not needed when applying Rogaine Minoxidil product in spray foam. Similarly, the foam is applied to towel-dried hair on a clean scalp.

After spraying the foamy product of around half the volume of the product’s cap, the foam is massaged into the areas of the scalp where hair loss is noticeable.

When using any of the products, the manufacturer stresses on washing your hands well after each application.

Rogaine Minoxidil in spray foam form is prepared in alcohol and glycerine base. This formulation is specialized formulated for those

who experience contact dermatitis with Rogaine Minoxidil liquid preparations. On a side note, female consumers

who do not have the option of selecting a foam formulation, have to make do with the liquid solution. 

This might come as a sad news for female consumers who enjoy a good selection and a variety of products.

More products that help with hair loss and available for female can be seen in www.toppikmalaysia.com/shop 

 

 

Although the product is easily available over the counter with no prescription needed when purchasing, it is still highly encouraged to

consult a specialist or dermatologist before beginning the long term treatment of using Rogaine Minoxidil since there are still

risks that come with taking the drug. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of using this product is listed below:  

 

Advantages:

• It is able to actually encourage new hair growth.
• It helps to slows down or stops hair loss

Disadvantages:

• The product can cause skin irritations to certain individuals. The irritations may be in the form of redness, redness, flaky scalp, itching scalp and others.
• There might be an initial increase in hair shedding. It can cause more hair loss during the first two to four weeks because some of the old hairs are being pushed out by new ones.
• Results take time, usually from around the fourth month to possibly a year.
• The product is expensive. The usage of the product has to be continualas the results disappear once the medication is stopped.
• It can be inconvenient to stick to the strict regime of double application daily.
• It can change the texture and the colour of the new hair.
• To certain individuals, there might be some health complications such as weight gain, light-headedness, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, chest pain and the swelling of stomach, face, ankles or hands.

 

Some of the famous Minoxidil product on the market right now are

• Rogaine Minoxidil by Phizer
• Kirkland Minoxidil by costco
• Regenepure Minoxidil Salonceuticals
• Lipogaine

 

 

Nevertheless, Rogaine Minoxidil is proven to be effective and for most, relatively safe.

 

 

To be frank, it takes a lot of effort and determination to go on a long term treatment to fight hair loss,

however there are other products that can work wonder for a fast fix while going on the treatment.

Traits of Healthy Hair

 

Our hair sits on top of our head, it frames our faces and sometimes hang long, past our shoulders or down to our waists.

Being on the position it is, our hair is almost always the first thing that people notice about us. How does it look like, what is it colours, is it trendily styled or messy?

Inevitably, we all want our hair to be healthy, strong yet soft, with lots of shine and no tangles, frizzes or hair loss.

We try to follow the most effective hair care routines, we look for the most suitable hair products in the market and if you are reading this,

I am sure you are one of the many that look for the best hair advices and knowledges.

Here, the information we are about to share with you are the traits of healthy hair.

More hair information could be accessed at www.toppikmalaysia.com/blog.

 

 

Healthy Scalp

Sometimes in our quest for cultivating a head of fine, attractive hair, we often pool all of our focus onto our strains of hair and either

forget about or neglect the importance of a healthy scalp. Imagine a plant growing from the soil, similarly our hair grows from our scalp.

If our plant is wittering or not being on its best, we will nurture the soil by watering or fertilising it so it is very comparable to our hair.

When our hair is not looking and feeling good, we have to shift our focus to the scalp.

Yes, healthy scalp produces healthy hair.

Your scalp is fully responsible for that because it possesses the hair follicles which extend deep down into your scalp that your hair grows from.

Your hair follicles consist of several parts which is illustrated below. It would stand to reason that the scalp which house many

of these follicles need to stay in a healthy condition, otherwise,

there would be no hair or the hair that does manage to make it through, probably will not be very healthy.

 

 

The Papilla is located at the base of the follicle and contains blood vessels that nourish the cells of the follicle.

Inner and outer root sheaths of the follicle protect the hair growing within while the bulb is the tiny white blob

that we see at the end of our hair when it sheds. Since it is connected to the papilla, it is actually the living part of the hair follicle.

Sebaceous glands are tasked to produce and secrete sebum that conditions the hair and scalp.

As an individual that care about personal hygiene, cleanliness as well as the health of our hair, we have to maintain our

scalp health by your scalp health by ensuring that it is not clogged, stays clean and is properly nourished.

This ensure an ideal environment for healthy hair to grow. On the other hand, we don’t want to overstimulate it by over cleansing it.

That could strip off the natural sebum, causing excessive dryness and itching which can lead to itchy and irritated scalp.

 

 

 

Soft hair

 

Soft hair is one of the traits for healthy hair. If your hair is not soft, there are several reasons behind that.

Since coarse and dry hair tends to be hard, it means you are not moisturizing properly.  To gain healthy hair,

it is extremely important to make sure your hair is nourished with all the moisture it needs. Choose water-based moisturizing products with less harsh

chemicals and always go for organic product or natural home remedies if possible. Make it a routine to condition your hair after every hair-wash,

but being careful to skip the roots to avoid weighing them down or causing them, causing hair breakage.

You could also use a moisturizing leave-in spray before styling your hair.  Once a week, it is recommended to apply a deep conditioning hair mask.

Product build up could cause our hair to be dry and hard. It is very easy to pile product on and on but once gone overboard, the scalp will be burdened

by the chemicals residue from many products, making it greasy, waxy, and heavy. This will further irritate the scalp and harm hair growth.

To remove products build up, we can use clarifying rinses with organic hair wash, or apple cider vinegar.

 

 

Shiny Hair

 

When people tell you, having shine means hair is healthy, they are absolutely right. Like skin, hair just looks better when it glows, no kidding!

Elizabeth Tanzi, co-director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, D.C. stated that “Shiny hair reflects light, creating natural

highlights and making the face appear radiant.” When looking for hair products to add shine and lustre, one must pay attention for products infused with silicones or

natural oils that can easily penetrate the scalp and nourish the hair follicle. Hair lustres due to the miniscule scales on outermost layer of the

hair shaft lying flat to reflect light. Damage to the hair cuticle causes the hair to swell and impede the shine and lustre.

Usually dry, unhealthy hair is a result of poor hair handling techniques, but often, other factors such as the weather, inadequate nutrition,

unsuitable hair product usage, illness or hormonal change may be responsible.

Even lifestyle choices and personal habits such as swimming and overexposure to the sun can all dehydrate hair, making them rough and gloomy.

 

Smooth Hair

 

When the hair is healthy, hair shafts are smooth, easily detangle on their own, without the help of a detangler or any detangler products.

The term smooth and silky accurately describe the feeling of your hair growing evenly, smoothly with great texture.

It feels silky to the extent that the hair will slide pass you hand in your attempt to touch or hold them. According to the American Chemical Society,

in a damagingly dry condition, the edge of the hair shaft cuticle will start to peel off and cause friction, making the hair rough and difficult to be combed.

This is the opposite of being smooth and silky.  To fix this, you can use a conditioner, which is designed to coat the hair shaft and soften the cuticle, making hair combed easier.

Last but not least, no matter what your hair type is, it is always important to take the time to identify the most suitable treatments,

remedies and products for your hair. Some people may take a longer period to figure their hair out than others but in the end it will be worth it,

as we are living in a world of instant gratification where first impression speaks a great deal about ourselves.
