Did you know that hair is actually made up of dead cells which sprout from hair follicles located under the dermis? Or that each strand of hair is made up of three layers?

The inner layer has an important role to play in providing strength and elasticity for the hair.

Next is the middle layer, composed of the melanin which determines the color of the hair, together with nutritive protein and small inter-layered fibers.

On top of this is the outer layer, made up of thin, clear tissue. Oil glands produce oil which give added moisture and which coat each strand of hair to add beauty and weight and to prevent it from getting dry and damaged. This oil also helps prevent the growth of bacteria on the scalp, ensuring that your hair is strong, weighty, shiny, smooth and in excellent health.

Strong, soft hair, or rough, weightless hair. It’s up to you

The health of your hair is dependent on various factors, both internal and external. But all of these factors are determined solely by you. Everything you do will have an effect on your hair, and you are the one who has to resolve hair problems when they occur.

Emotional imbalance due to stress

Hair tends to react to emotions. Stress can cause various bodily mechanisms to malfunction, and as a result hair can become dry, tough, weightless and prone to falling out.

Failure to look after your hair properly

This can easily lead to problems with your hair. Everyone has different hair, requiring different nutrients and care.

The use of incorrect hair products

The use of hair products which have not been formulated for your specific hair requirements can be disastrous for your hair, as they don’t resolve the problems your hair is facing.

Also important are a good diet, regular exercise and the maintenance of good psychological health, and remember you must always select hair products appropriate for your hair. That’s all you need to do if you want to own silky smooth healthy hair, full of natural vitality.
