Want Healthy & Beautiful Hair?

Want to have healthy and beautiful hair but you are faced with the unfortunate fact that your hair is thinning? Or perhaps you find that you are losing more hair than normal? These lifestyle advice may assist you in stopping the hair loss and hopefully even reversing it.

First and foremost, the health of our hair and how thick our mane is relates to our kidney essence and this in turn relies on our lifestyle habits such as the excessive frequency of sexual activity or over exerting oneself through overdoing it in sports and from deficiencies in fluids in which blood is a major component.

Some habits and products too can detrimentally affect the quality of our hair. For example, if one were to continually expose one's hair to over coloring or bleaching with hydrogen peroxide for example in several hair bleaching agents or the use of synthetic chemicals in our hair as well as subject our hair to the stresses of heat from styling from the hairdryer, it wouldn't be surprising to find that there will be a constant increase in the quantity of hair that ends up on your hairbrush and the shower or sink trap.

For every action, there is inevitably going to be a reaction, it's just a simple law of physics. Hence, whatever you put onto our hair and in our bodies will affect the quality of our hair etcetera on the outside. This brings us to how we can help ourselves achieve Healthy and Beautiful Hair by supplementing ourselves from the inside.

Massage is one step toward achieving healthy and beautiful hair. Every time you wash your hair, massage your scalp before rinsing. How you do this is to use both hands on each side of your scalp, starting from the front of your forehead, spread your hands out and make a clawing action to your fingers. Massage with your fingertips and press down firmly but not harshly from the front of your scalp all the way to the nape of your neck and do this about 30-40 times. This helps improve circulation and thus blood flow to your scalp therefore stimulating the nutrients to be more readily delivered to our scalp and hair.

The idea of having greasy hair bother you? Having enough oils to lubricate the hair shaft is important and not to mention the anti-aging effects it possible may have to your body.

However, if you belong to the few who are constantly getting increasingly irritated by your flat limp oily hair, this just may be the solution you need.

Rosemary the plant belonging to the herb family could prove quite useful. Yes Rosemary is a very versatile herb.

Let this steep for 15 to 30 minutes then use this as a hair rinse after washing. Do this daily to begin with then try to reduce it to three times per week if you want to once things begin to improve.
