			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An ideal woman is often pictured to be a person with a slender figure with long hair. Hair has always been important for every woman because it somehow reflects their personality. Having long shiny hair can seduce a man, it can land a woman in a shampoo commercial, or get compliments from others. It can reflect a woman&#8217;s health and gives an impression that she is healthy, and that she is taking good care of herself. Of course, not all women would want long hair. It depends on their character, the weather, their lifestyle, and so on. </p>
<p>Hair has its own life cycle, usually from two to six years of hair growth. Each hair grows at least one centimeter per month. Ninety percent of the hair on the scalp is growing at any given time, while the remaining ten is at its resting phase. Specifically for women with long hair, it is considered normal for them to shed some hair as part of the cycle. Not to worry, since it is normally replaced as it grows back in the same follicle on one&#8217;s head. Most people lose about fifty to a hundred of head hair strands a day. If one is losing more than those mentioned, a particular health condition can be seen, which would be hair loss.</p>
<p>Also called alopecia, it is basically the excessive hair loss of one person. This specific health condition may arise due to several causes. From three or four months after an illness or a major surgery, the patient may suffer from hair loss. This is usually temporary and is related to the stress of their particular illness. Another cause could arise from hormonal problems, primarily from imbalanced male and female hormones (androgens and estrogens). Pregnancy can also cause hair loss, usually three months after the woman conceived her baby. This is also related to the woman&#8217;s hormones, because during pregnancy, high levels of female hormones cause the body to keep hair that normally falls out. When such hormones get back to pre-pregnancy stages, hair falls out and the hair cycle starts normally once again. Certain medications can also cause hair loss, including blood thinners, gout medications, chemotherapy medications, birth control pills, and anti-depressants.</p>
<p>Hair treatments, such as hair coloring, bleaching, straightening, perms, and certain hairstyles (braids and cornrows) can also contribute to a person&#8217;s hair loss. A condition called traction alopecia is present if a person ties or pulls her/his hair tightly that causes tension on the scalp. This particular condition may be permanent if the hairstyle is worn for a long period of time, long enough to damage the person&#8217;s hair follicles.</p>
<p>Hair care is important to avoid these hair conditions. By eating a well balanced diet, hair is given its full health benefits. Washing hair gently with shampoo once a day, lathering gently, and not rubbing the hair too much on the towel to dry proves effective in taking care of one&#8217;s crowning glory. Avoid the use of hair dryers as much as possible, and style hair when its is dry or damp, not when still wet. Be careful to use certain hair care products as there are chemicals (especially those found in hair coloring or hair straightening treatments), which can also damage the hair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Proper hair care can stop hair loss and save you from becoming bald. Hair loss may be due to the effect of hormones or hereditary factors. Experts say hair loss occurs owing to ill-treatment of hair, chemical use on hair, illness, lack of adequate vitamins and minerals in food intake and mental stress. </p>
<p>So, do not make your natural hair unnatural by applying hair care products which contain chemical. Know the hair care products before using them. If you neglect your hair, you will face hair loss even in your young age and need hair loss treatment.</p>
<p>Improper washing, combing, brushing of hair will make hair loss. Experts advise to wash hair twice a week. If you have long hair, little more care is needed in washing, combing and brushing. </p>
<p>Balanced diet is also important. If you take nutritional foods, you can prevent hair loss. Besides, little exercise and adequate sleep is required to keep your hair healthy.</p>
<p>Hair loss treatment for men and hair loss treatment for women can be different as women generally have long hair and long hair need more attention.</p>
<p>If you are suffering from hair loss, you can take the help of hair loss treatment after consultation or using some genuine hair care products after understanding the ingredients in them. There are hundreds of products available in the market for hair loss treatment. </p>
<p>New Generation hair care products can stop hair loss as it provides a highly effective environment for strong healthy hair growth. Its Hair Growth Treatment Shampoo, Hair Growth Cleanser and Conditioner, Parula Overnight Hair Care Formula with Palmetto, Hair Dietary Supplement, Hair Grooming Mist are specifically formulated of natural and non-toxic ingredients and do not have after effects. These products have been in the market for nearly two decades and were prepared from the exact original formula developed by Dr. Ilona Schreck-Purola of the University of Helsinki. They are all sold with a money back guarantee and backed by the good name of California Pacific Research.</p>
<p>For dry hair, you can use a shampoo with a rich emollient that will clean and soften your hair. You can also use a conditioner for softening your dry hair. </p>
<p>While shaving pubic hair, little caution is required. Improper use of razor may cause irritation. It is advisable to trim pubic hair before applying razor. Also, soak and lather the pubic part by using a shaving cream before shaving. You can moisturize the freshly shaven pubic area, but avoid moisturizers that contain fragrance and colors since they may cause irritation. Shave as per the need as over shaving may cause infection or irritation. Shaving pubic hair may be uncomfortable for women during their periods, so they should shave around their menstruation cycle.</p>

Hair loss is the most common medical problem. Millions of people all over the world are struggling in the endless battle to stop their hair loss. How ever, most of them did not spend a couple of minutes learning what exactly the meaning of hair loss is. Read the following lines to learn the basics about hair, hair loss and hair loss treatments.</p>
<p>Did you know that an average scalp has about 150,000 hair follicles and hair – more than 90% of them are continuously growing.</p>
<p>What is hair?<br />
Hair is the fastest growing tissue of the body. It is made of keratins which are a type of proteins. Each hair strand includes three layers: the medulla (the inner layer), the cortex and the cuticle. Hair grows from roots – Those roots get the vital ingredients to the hair growth by the blood. The roots are a living tissue but the visible hair strand is a dead tissue. Therefore, any hair loss treatment should take care of the scalp and roots and not of the hair strands.</p>
<p>How does the hair grow?<br />
It is natural to loose hair. Actually, we all loose about 100 hairs a day. We start noticing that we suffer from hair loss only after losing more than 50% of our hair.</p>
<p>The phases of the life cycle of hair are:</p>
<p>Anagen – In this phase the hair is actively growing. This phase lasts about 5 years.<br />
Catagen – In this phase the hair falls out. It lasts about 3 weeks.<br />
Telogen – In this phase the hair is resting. It lasts about 12 weeks.</p>
<p>What are the causes of hair loss?<br />
There are various conditions that may cause hair loss from heritage to stress. For each cause one may find different hair loss treatments. Hair loss treatments include anything from the FDA approved hair loss drug called Propecia or Rogaine to natural hair loss treatments as Rogaine to hair transplant surgeries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Female hair loss is a genetic condition inherited from either parent. The genetically pretentious hair follicles in women experiencing female hair loss are susceptible to a byproduct of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, which causes the hair follicle to shed the normal hair and produce thinner, shorter, colorless hair. This peach-fuzz hair makes the scalp look thinner, and over time, the miniaturized hair follicles atrophy and die, causing permanent hair loss known as balding. There is no peach-fuzz hair in balding areas, and the scalp appears tight and shiny.</p>
<p>Baldness is an unalterable condition. Once the hair follicle has atrophied, it is gone forever. This would be similar to losing any other body part, and since we are not able to reproduce our body parts, there are no female hair loss products or remedies that can force the body to produce a new hair follicle.</p>
<p>Causes of Female Pattern Hair Loss</p>
<p>Women, just like men, inherit the gene for thinning hair from either parent. In women, testosterone is produced in the adrenal glands and the ovaries. Although testosterone gets converted to DHT in a woman’s body, it cannot cause female hair loss due to the protective effects of estrogen and progesterone. These hormones reduce DHT production and block DHT’s attachment to the hair follicle as long as they are present in adequate amounts. Any condition that can cause a decreased production of estrogen and progesterone or overproduction of DHT can cause thinning hair in genetically predisposed women. In women, hair loss can start at any age after puberty, but in most cases it occurs with menopause. The normal production of female hormones drops drastically during menopause, lowering a woman’s natural protection against thinning hair.</p>
<p>Hair loss in pre-menopausal women indicates an abnormal hormonal imbalance that requires medical investigation and appropriate treatment.</p>
<p>In post-menopausal women, hormone replacement therapy restores the normal hormonal levels and stops the process. In cases where hormonal replacement therapy is not recommended, the only other available medical option is Rogaine 2%. Although Rogaine activates the follicle’s growth phase, it has no effect on the DHT production that eventually leads to hair-follicle atrophy.</p>
