- About 95% of the human body is covered by hair.
- There are about 110,000 hairs on a person's head.
- We lose about 50 - 100 hairs daily. This is a natural
and normal process.
Information on dandruff :
- Is not a skin disease.
- Results when there are higher than normal levels of
fungus in the scalp
- Manifests first by "flakes" (i.e., clumps
of cells) that fall off the scalp and are visible to the
naked eye (as opposed to single cells that are shed from
the scalp as a normal physiological process).
- Does not happen only to men.
- Should be treated even when it doesn't happen (or becomes
visible).
- Not common in the very young or the elderly.
- Considered as the biggest problem in Asian men and women.
Taking Care :
- Have a balanced diet containing Vitamins (A, B and E),
proteins, iron and minerals.
- Exercise and rest in moderation.
- Select the Right Shampoo : Your shampoo needs not only
to clean, but also protect the entire strand of hair from
damage. Hence, always use shampoos (like H&S) that
contain
(a) cleansing ingredients that are mild to the hair
(b) conditioning ingredients which in turn
· protect the hair from daily combing and brushing
· protect coloured / permed hair
· protect rough / dry hair
(c) Scalp-balancing dandruff-control ingredients (prevent
and control dandruff).
- Wash Your Hair Frequently. Frequent shampooing can control
dandruff by :
(a) removing the constant build-up of pollution, dust,
oils, etc.
(b) keeping the scalp clean
(c) replenishing the damaged protective coating on the
hair strands.
- Wash, Dry and Then Comb your Hair the Right Way :
