Messy hair... dandruff, dry hair
Problems with falling hair?
I've got a lot of hair lol in a good way.
But keeping it good happy and healthy is something I often get asked about.
So my keys to hair are ...
Avoid using chemical based products.
Natural is always best.
Eat a healthy diet - this is the foundation for all health issues.
Dandruff is often caused by a reaction to the chemicals in your shampoo and other hair products. The stuff you put in the ends doesn't jsut end up on your ends it gets all over your body so keep all your hair products as natual as possilbe.
Don't wash your hair too often.
The more you wash it the more it dries out.
And if you're someone who gets a greasy head quickly then same answer - the more you wash your hair the more oil your body will produce. so wash it less and it will produce less.
When we are younger generally oily is more of a problem as we age dry is more of a problem. so you need to adjust your products for this. Its just a general fact sorry on all levels - this also includes hair. .
Different environments affect your hair differently. For me my hair is better when its a bit humid.
Don't use the same shampoo and conditioner all the time. Mix it up a bit.
I used a combo of 3 brands, one of these is my own homemade one.
I also do use a silicone in the ends from time to time. The most natural form I can find.
Fragrances often are the thing that cause dandruff so avoid anything with perfume or parfum fragrance aka chemical fragrances.
Go for essential oils or no smell.
Its definitely and trial and error thing with natural products.
The other thing that causes dandruff is an over growth of candida and eating too much sugar so if changing the shampoo and hair products isn't cutting it... then this maybe the reason.
Falling hair is often hormonal... but not in the way you might think. Something is stressing the body enough to affect your hormones.
It can be anything from stress, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation caused by things like mould, pregnancy, thyroid problems. So these things all need to be investigated to sort it out.
And no.. loosing 100 hairs a day is not a sign of normal hair growth... if you google how much to loose is normal it will say that... I feel 20-40 a day but hair will fall more at certain periods than others due to the growth cycles.
Yes menopause can cause hair loss and this is often due to liver issues not processing hormones well particularly testosterone..
So there's a lot to know about hair lol that's a quick summary
And I'm a fan of grey hair - I call them grey lights
Dyes are super toxic.
