Some of the most interesting hair care ingredients of 2011
When it comes to looking after your hair, there is a whole range of products to choose form which claim to offer the best care and it can often be quite hard to choose the best one. There are constantly innovations in this area and there are constantly new ingredients being invented and put into hair care products. This year, there have already been some fantastic new innovations when it comes to ingredients and they are already appearing in hair care products. Here are some of the best new ingredients of the year:
One of the things that have started to be used in hair care products are magnetic fibres. Previously, there were only really used on bald or thinning hair. These magnetic fibres are still in the early stages of development for use in hair products although it is thought that when the fibres do make it into products, they will be able to offer people a way of giving their hair a more balanced and blended appearance. These magnetic fibres work by actually attracting positively charged polymers to the hair shaft and this is what will give you that more blended look.
Another area that has seen a lot of advancement this year is the area of anti-dandruff products. Dandruff is a problem for many out there and it can be quite embarrassing. This year however, one company has made an innovation in this area by creating a natural hair product that will regulate the sebum production. This is well known to be one of the causes of dandruff so regulating this area through the use of a hair product will almost certainly begin to cure the dandruff.
Botox for Hair Loss is latest quick fix
There are a lot of different methods out there for combating hair loss and there are new methods being found all the time. The latest trend that has hit the UK and America is something that goes by the name of Botox for hair loss. This latest craze has come all the way from Hollywood where apparently, it is the latest craze for celebrities looking for that quick fix to their hair loss problems. However, experts have said that the craze is complete nonsense and does nothing for your hair loss problems.
According to the experts, there is no real evidence that this new hair loss Botox scheme actually works and as well as this, the treatment guidelines for the product don’t even specify what type of hair loss it will combat. There are many different reasons for hair loss including genetic reasons, poor diet etc and the hair loss Botox treatment doesn’t specify which of this it is effective for. Experts have said that any treatment which is not aimed at specific areas of hair loss should already alert people as being nonsense.
The idea behind the hair loss Botox treatment is that surgeons will mix Botox and vitamins together and inject them into the areas where hair loss is a problem. Apparently there are a lot of different reasons for this not working with one main reason being that Botox is not a hair stimulant or an anti-androgen. These block the hormones that are responsible for male hair loss so the fact that the product contains none of these means that it is unlikely to help you in the hair loss department.
Experts don’t recommend this treatment to anyone suffering from hair loss and recommend more well known and proven treatments instead.
Even More Unlikely Hair Loss Reasons
Last week, we spoke about some of the reasons that you might start losing your hair that you might not have previously realised were problems at all. There is actually many more reasons that you can start losing your hair that you might not have expected to be reasons and we have put some of the others together in this article so that you are able to get a relatively good understanding of many of the unlikely reasons that you might be losing your hair and so you will be able to treat it.
Another unlikely reason for losing your hair that you might not have realised is losing your hair through the menopause. Of course, this one only applies to women and you might not have known that the menopause can often cause hair thinning and hair loss. Scientists are relatively unsure as to why this is the way but it has been proven that general hair loss and hair thinning is common with many women going through the menopause. It is thought that it could be down to the many hormonal changes in your body during this time.
Another unlikely reason for hair loss is being ill. Although you might not have ever thought that being ill will cause hair loss, there have been studies that have found that it will. In many cases, illnesses such as a huge fever have been found to cause some hair loss as it disrupts the bodies hair cycle. Of course, this is a relatively low for of hair loss and the good news is that once the fever or illness has cleared up, your hair cycle will return itself to normal and you won’t notice any more hair loss.
