Everybody has some or the other hair troubles with their hair. Nobody can have totally trouble free hair. Some suffer from hair fall, some suffer from dandruff, some have the problem of lice or some have split ends, many of us have the premature graying problem.
Even if the hair look perfectly fine and healthy in appearance, they have some or the other problem with them. If taken some precaution and care one can prevent and get rid of these hair trouble easily. But if the problem is hereditary and genetic and is serious enough to tackle then one should seek medical help. As in the case of baldness, if it's hereditary then one needs to take medical help and treatment to prevent the problem.
There are certain other causes too for hair trouble as lack of cleanliness, lack of hygiene, ignorance, vitamin deficiency or carelessness.
Many people keep on trying wrong hair care products on their hair without any expert's advice and they spoil their hair in ignorance. Excessive usage of chemicals on hair too damages them in a long run. They are good only for occasional usage.
Common hair troubles and solutions-certain hair troubles are very common and are found in every other person as hair fall and dandruff. Here are some easy remedies for the common hair troubles.
Dandruff-dandruff is one of the main common hair troubles, which gives itching on the scalp and causes falling of hair. Dry dandruff when falls on clothes gives acne and pimples on face and back. It requires proper cleanliness of the head. One should apply medicated shampoo, which is specifically meant for the dandruff in the hair.
Scalp massage with warm hair oil especially coconut oil and menthol in it, or olive oil, relieves the dandruff problem because it improves the blood circulation on the scalp. Massage helps to grow the hair and give them life and shine. One should give massage at least twice a day in a week. Oil should be put in the scalp and hair in the night; leave it overnight and next day shampoo the hair.
If one wants to set the oil deep, one should wrap a hot towel soaked and squeezed in hot water on the head. Leave it on your head for at least 20 minutes. This way steam will penetrate your scalp and oil will enter deep into the roots of the hair. It will make the hair soft, supple, reduces dandruff and stops hair fall. Someone who has dandruff in the hair should not share his comb, hairbrush and towel with others otherwise others will get affected with the dandruff problem because it spreads this way.
One can take zinc supplement too because deficiency too causes dandruff in the hair.
Hair fall-deficiency of certain vitamins as zinc, calcium, vitamin E and iron causes major hair fall. You should eat healthy food; include fruits and green vegetables in your diet. Take dairy products as milk and curd to nourish your hair. You can take iron and zinc supplement too to reduce the hair fall. Keep on massaging your hair to improve the blood circulation. Do not tie hair too tied and never comb or brush them when they are wet because the roots of the hair are the weakest when the hairs are wet.
If the problem is very severe then seek medical help.
Split Ends-one of the main causes of split ends is not getting the hair cut at the right time. If you keep getting hair cut every month, the split end problem will be hardly there. Usually deficiency of minerals too gives split ends in the hair. Drink lots of water and fluids in a day to hydrate the body, skin and hair. A professional expert will give you a good hair cut by chopping those split ends. Once in a week while massaging the hair, soak those split ends of the hair in hot oil for few minutes, it reduces the spilt ends to some extent.
Lice-the problem of lice persist in those hair which are not cleaned properly. Lice and nits (their eggs) are blood-sucking insects, which develop in head and hair if dirty hands are out on the head. Lice spread from one head to another and cause extreme bad itching on the scalp, which looks awkward when you are out somewhere, or working. You cant even sleep properly if have lice in the hair.
So first thing keep the head and scalp regularly keen. Use the shampoo and oil following the instructions on them, which are meant for the lice in the hair. They are easily available at any chemist or general store. The lice problem is severe with kids as they put their dirty hands in hair and get this problem. Then they keep spreading lice to their other friends in school or their siblings get it at home. Be hygiene conscious. Give regularly hair wash to the kids with the shampoo for lice killing. Keep that kids towel, hairbrush and comb separate and wash them with medicated antiseptic solution alternate day.
