What is the impact of chemicals in your hair?

PH scale

To understand about the hair, the first thing must understand the pH scale. The pH scale of 0 to 14. The scale can be divided into two parts at a pH of 7, which is neutral. . Acids are 0-7 and alkaline pH are 7-14. Not much People know that the pH of our skin and hair is between 4.5 to 5.5, therefore, we can see our skin and hair is acidic. We find good shampoos and conditioners between these ranges of pH.

And what about chemicals? Where are they located on the scale? All chemicals are alkaline. Swell inside the hair shaft and open the hair cuticle. For example, when the dye is applied, the molecules of color are still very small and undeveloped. After half an hour the chemical process that finally evolved and become much larger. Due to its new size, the molecules can not pass through the cuticle and remain trapped inside the bark. That's why after coloring, bleaching, permanent or straightening chemically hair usually results in curly hair, dry and easy to break! Most of the chemicals in our hair color containing ammonia, of pH 11. Bleach, which has a pH of 13 is used to highlight hair that's almost the end of the scale! Therefore, after using chemicals, hair can be permanently damaged.

HEALTHY HAIR SHAFT DAMAGED HAIR SHAFT

You mean you have to stop coloring, bleaching, permanent or straightening hair? Not at all! We can still keep up with fashion and cover the gray! However, it is important to care for our hair too! Always use the shampoo and conditioner professional and acid treatments that can reduce high alkalinity in the hair. In the market, there are many brands of professionals offer hair serums, ampoules and other nutritional products to help further in the pH balance in your hair.

Is it now easier to understand what chemicals can impact your hair? And how should we care for our hair?

Hair loss male pattern baldness

male pattern baldness, otherwise known as "androgenetic aloprecia 'affects millions of men around the world. 'Andro' refers to androgens (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone) necessary to produce loss male pattern hair. 'Gene' refers to the inherited gene necessary for male pattern baldness occur. Hair loss can begin any time after puberty when androgen levels of origin, usually begins to recede in areas temporary. In general, those who begin losing hair by age 20 have more serious results hair loss.

Hamilton and Norwood have classified to male pattern baldness is shown in the picture below. Hamilton found that androgens are necessary for the development of male pattern baldness. Androgens These need not be higher than normal for baldness to occur. In all male hair loss occurs to some extent, however, if the gene loss hair is present, male pattern baldness will take place.

Testosterone is responsible for the growth of underarm and pubic hair whereas dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is responsible for growth of beard and hair loss male pattern. DHT is the conversion of testosterone by the enzyme 5α - Reductase. DHT acts by binding, then enter the cell to interact with the kernel, the change of DNA and ultimately making the hair follicle growth to cease. Finasteride (Propecia ®) works by blocking the enzyme, decreasing the amount of DHT produced thus slow or stop the process of hair loss.

There are three phases in the cycle of hair growth; Anagen - growing phase, catagen - the degradation phase, and telogen - Rest phase. Hair growth cycle is affected when there is a lower percentage of hairs in anagen phase, the percentage of hair in telogen phase. The hairs in the telogen phase are much more prone to loss of a daily trauma such as combing and washing. In male pattern baldness, hair shafts gradually become miniature meaning over time, the hair gradually becomes smaller in diameter and length. Pigment (color) The production is also terminated with miniaturization causing fine hair to become lighter in color and the affected area to appear thin. Over time, hair follicles permanently ended.

In summary, the loss of male pattern hair is an inherited disease that can be transmitted by the father or mother. The rate and severity of hair loss is unpredictable, although the severity increase with age. If the condition is present will be progressive and relentless. Hair loss is more likely to occur between late adolescence and the age of 40-50 years.
