      • DEHYDRATION & HAIR LOSS
        Hair is an important part of our body, along with skin and nails. Hair roots are situated inside the scalp so it requires proper nutrition to survive. Water is a key nutrient for the body and hair.
        Hair needs lubrication inside and out. Water hydrates our body, regulates our circulatory system and lubricates our hair follicles. (Water is the key source of minerals which are the most important nutrients for hair.) This, in turn, stimulates hair growth.
        If there is an insufficient supply of water to the follicles, it will result in hair becoming dull, lifeless, dry, rough brittle and break easily. Thus, one of the main side effects of dehydration on hair is hair loss ultimately. Let us understand this further. Hair is the second-fastest-growing organ after bone marrow. It has a 4 to 6-year life span. It has its own life cycle – grows, rests and then falls. Hair fall can happen in two ways, either by shedding or in breakages. Hair sheds from the roots and it breaks off anywhere along the hair strand. Dehydration can cause this shedding and breakage at an accelerated pace, which can affect the length and thickness of the hair.

      • EDC’s in BLACK HAIR PRODUCTS
        Endocrine-disrupting chemicals or EDCs, can be one of the most difficult chemicals to avoid in beauty products. They cleverly elude most ingredient lists by hiding within a product’s packaging or an ingredient itself. So, how can we avoid these harmful chemicals if we can’t find them?

      • CURE TO (DANDRUFF) SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS
        Dandruff (pityriasis capitis, seborrheic dermatitis confined to the scalp) is a disease that has been around for centuries despite several treatment options. Almost every day new players are entering the market with various antidandruff products, perhaps due to an increase in the incidence of dandruff all over the world. Interestingly, clinicians, especially dermatologists, gave little attention to this problem. At the end, the dandruff sufferer is puzzled by the array of antidandruff products with varied claims entering the market day by day. Why have we not achieved complete treatment success against dandruff? Is dandruff a disease or disorder? It seems that our understanding about dandruff perfectly fits into the famous saying of Albert Einstein, “as the area of light increases, so does the circumferences of darkness.”

      • Uterine fibroid & CCCA ALOPECIA
        Women if you have been losing a lot of hair lately, beware. According to a latest study a common form of hair loss and balding in women could be linked with growth of fibroids or non- cancerous tumours that grow along or within the walls of the uterus. According to the researchers, the medical records gathered on hundreds of thousands of African-American women pointed at the peculiar risk
        The results suggested a five-fold increased risk of uterine fibroids in women with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA), compared to age, sex and race matched controls. CCCA predominantly affects black women and is the most common form of permanent alopecia - baldness - in this population.
