Hair Loss
People often wonder what causes hair loss, and in truth, there are many causes for hair loss. Aging is only one cause of many, and hair loss does not have to be an inevitable part of the aging process.
Hair loss is a common occurrence as we age. For men, when the time is up, the baldness starts on the top of the head or toward the front of the head and spreads out from there. While in women the baldness process is most common after menopause. Different to men, woman's hair thins all over the head.
Illness including thyroid disorders, diabetes, psoriasis of the scalp, lupus, kidney or liver disease, cancer and some other disease can cause hair loss. Since many of these illnesses are chronic conditions, simply treating the illness may not be sufficient. If the illness does not cure, the hair loss may not treat well. We may still need to treat the hair loss itself.
Taking some kind of medications also may cause hair thinning. Mostly, not only the hair on your head is affected, but your eyebrows, eyelashes, and other body hair may fall out as well. Medicine such lithium, heparin, beta-blockers and medications used to treat cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. Stopping the medications usually reverses the hair loss, but it's always not a good idea before you're really cure.
Pregnancy and childbirth also can be causes for temporary hair loss. This may related to changes in hormone activity, but your hair will return to normal after a few months.
Well balance diet is another important fact. Hair is made of protein, so you need to get enough protein as well as iron, magnesium and B vitamins in your diet to have healthy hair. Taking a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement can help if you're fall into this category.

PREVENTING SPLIT ENDS AND BROKEN HAIR
Half of the cure for split ends is prevention: Don't brush your hair too much, and be sure to use brushes and combs with smooth, wide-set teeth; avoid nylon bristles. And no matter what, don't brush wet hair! If you have knots, use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to gently detangle from the ends up, one section at a time.
Elastic bands -- even the covered ones -- and barrettes can cause breakage. If you put your hair in a ponytail, use a scrunchie; when wearing barrettes, take care not to catch hair in the metal clip.
Of course, a trim will rid you of split ends instantly. In the meantime, a split-end treatment or leave-in conditioner with light hold applied to the ends can temporarily seal the splits.

The Best & Easy Way to Shampoo
Firstly, thoroughly saturate scalp and hair using warm or cool water. Beware of hot water tends to dry out hair and scalp.
Apply a small amount of shampoo, about the size of a quarter, to palm and rub hands together to evenly distribute. Start at the back of the head and move to the front of the head.
Now apply shampoo to scalp with the balls of your fingers. Do not wrestle your hair. Massage gently and allow suds to be distributed throughout hair.
Then work out your way to the ends, because this is the direction in which the hair cuticle lies.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water followed by cool water for 20 seconds. It closes the cuticle and stimulates the scalp. Do not use strong water pressure.
It’s not necessary to do the “rinse and repeat” routine unless you have an oily scalp. After rinsing, gently blot the hair dry with a towel - dont rub. Rubbing can weaken your hair.
Shampoo Hair
Shampoo is a hair care product used for the removal of oils, dirt, skin particles, dandruff, environmental pollutants and other contaminant particles that gradually build up in hair. The goal is to remove the unwanted build-up without stripping out so much as to make hair unmanageable.
Shampoo, when lathered with water, is a surfactant, which, while cleaning the hair and scalp, can remove the natural oils (sebum) which lubricate the hair shaft.
Shampooing is frequently followed by conditioners which increase the ease of combing and styling.
Modern day hair is constantly exposed to harsh chemical treatments, styling and sunlight. These damaging factors cause hair to become coarse, brittle and more vulnerable to further damage.
