Hair Cut Or Hair Growth And Life Of Hair

Every part of the body has some purpose to serve. We cut our hair from scalp and shave our face daily because we do not like its growth to distort our looks (?)And see the obstinacy and compulsion of the body; it brings back the hair we had cut. Is it not sufficient evidence that body contemplates the growth of hair on the place where it suits much to the advantage of skin and the organs beneath it? Actually what we do is we cut the cuticle of hair, which has several parts below i.e. Huxley’s layer, Henley’s layer, glassy layer medulla, cortical substance, hair bulb, hair papilla, blood vessel and then connective tissues of the cutis, are the parts lying underneath the end of hair, that we cut.

Cutting of hair is a repeated process affecting all the lower parts of the hair in which many changes occur before we see the cuticle come out of skin again. After cutting the end of hair, we cannot rule out the adverse effect on the working efficiency of the blood vessel beneath papilla. The adjoining blood vessels supplying blood to whole of adjoining hair or skin of head and face may not function wholly as per the designed efficiency.

In other words, the working efficiency of the hair and the organ beneath is degraded, if not destroyed. There is a saying in our old health books duly approved by our ancestors and saints that cutting of beard could harm gums and teeth. This harm may be in the form of decay or weakness in gums and rots of teeth. Can this related to malnutrition and inefficiency of blood cells of hair, which are subjected to frequent cuts at its ends? I feel any disturbance cause on the outer body is bound to affect the inner body may be in a long run.

It is just like continuous rubbing of the rope drawing bucket of water from the well and resulting in making of a groove on the brick wall of the well. I may be wrong and would like to have a rational correction from your end. I am just correlating theoretical aspects.

The hair according to above theory has a limited existence and short life. It is shed by the process of separation that takes place about the bulb accompanied by a contraction of the hair- follicle at this point. Once the hair is in its shedding process, the new hair is regenerated from the inner root-sheath about the papilla and it pushes the dead hair lying ahead of it until it is shed or accidentally removed while massaging the scalp or brushing the hair.

This means that hair is produced from the epidermis but its production is a process that forms a cornified cylinder, projected form the cutaneous surface and is very analogous to real epidermal cornification. The life of the hair is short but it is a process of regeneration that keeps the healthy person happy when he or she sees growth of hair returning after a lapse or recess.



Men's Hair Care: Top 10 Natural Hair Care Tips For Thinning Hair

One of the main complaints when it comes to men's hair care is thin hair due to hair loss. But there are plenty of natural ways for men to plump up thinning hair, without resorting to the style travesties of plugs or comb overs. Here are the top 10 tips for plumping up thinning hair naturally.

1. Ask your stylist to give you a volume enhancing cut which minimizes any bald areas and helps to create a fuller look naturally. A good stylist will be able create a smart look which gives you the ability to plump the hair after each wash. They may also suggest some high quality salon hair products to create the look you are after. If you can afford them then this is usually a good investment.

2. Try a volume enhancing shampoo and try not to use heavy or moisturising shampoos as these can weigh down the hair, making it look thinner. Ideally, choose salon hair products or other high quality hair care products, these have superior ingredients which will not build up residue on the hair as some cheaper hair care products can.

3. Finish your hair wash with a blast of very cold water. This may seem a little uncomfortable at first, but it only needs to be for a few seconds, to cover the hair, and it will help to increase shine and fullness.

4. When drying the hair, treat it carefully. Blot the hair dry instead of rubbing, as rough treatment can speed up hair loss.

5. Try a volume root enhancer � there are lots of hair care products on the market which can do this, again, salon hair products usually give better results due to their higher quality ingredients.

6. To blow dry, separate the hair into 1-2 inch sections. Lift each section using a barrel brush and blow dry from the roots to the ends to ruffle the cuticle, making the hair appear fuller.

7. A more unusual hair care tip is to try blow drying the hair upside down. While this tip is not for everyone, it can encourage the hair to move away from a flat position on the head, giving a fuller appearance.

8. Blow dry with cold air on a slow setting. This can take longer to complete but will help give the hair a more finished and full look.

9. Use your fingers to style your hair. This is a handy hair care tip for thinning hair because using a brush or comb can unintentionally flatten the hair and deflate the full look. If after all your hard work the hair looks too fluffy, put some hair spray onto your fingers for styling and pick out lightly apply to some strands. Don�t put the hair spray directly onto the hair as this can flatten it.

10. Try not to use hair gels as these can flatten the hair. If you must use some, choose a volume enhancing gel designed to increase the fullness of the hair.
