Hair Expert Gives Back to School, and Winter Hair Care Tips
CHICAGO -- The season's changing, and classes are starting! Why not kick off the coming fall and winter months with a strategy to help your hair maintain its healthy glow? According to "Dr. Hair" of Namaste Laboratories, the products one should consider are those that have transferable benefits from season to season. In a word: Conditioners.
"When we're searching for the perfect place to live, or even start a business, it's 'location, location, location,'" says Dr. Reginald Mitchell (a.k.a. Dr. Hair). "When the hair has gone through such a damaging season and has been overheated -- it is, 'condition, condition, condition.'" Hours of activity in the sun can dry out unprotected hair just as quickly as blow-drying, flat ironing and the use of curling irons, etc. Although hair receives nourishment from the blood supply, it's often difficult for the body to repair hair strands due to our potentially damaging summer lifestyles. That's where products from Namaste Laboratories can help.
"Lets face it," notes Dr. Hair, "your hair goes through a lot, and presently, conditioning is its best defense. We really need to condition the hair so that weak hair becomes stronger, and newly emerging hair will become more healthy and prone to a longer life span." The hair goes through a series of cycles -- from growth to shedding. The life expectancy of hair is between four to seven years. According to Dr. Hair, the average person sheds 80-150 hairs per day -- not including the hairs you pull after a stressful exam.
Healthy hair is naturally shiny and doesn't break as easily as its unhealthy counterpart. It's regular conditioning that helps to maintain that health. "The hair is composed of a protein called keratin," Dr. Hair continues. "To replenish what is removed from the hair both naturally and chemically, it's important to make sure the hair receives a protein reconstructing conditioner such as our Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise. This will make the hair stronger, and more moisturized. It's the health of your hair that allows your natural shine to persevere."
While preparing for the fall, you're in the process of transitioning between warm, humid air to cold, dry air. The cold and dry air makes hair more susceptible to breakage and drying out -- even more so than the summer sun. Dr. Hair recommends celebrating the colder seasons with the use of a moisturizing conditioner such as the Olive Oil Replenishing Pak(TM) to restore nutrients and moisture to hair.
"Namaste Laboratories is dedicated to hair maintenance," says Dr. Hair. "We still advise our customers to ease up on curling iron use, but our products are there to moisturize. That's your hair's best source of nutrients. Your hair loses nutrients from the ends first." Dr. Hair also suggests combating the drying with moisture. Namaste offers its Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil or Olive Oil to minimize split ends caused by dry hair.
Shedding during the winter months is natural. Moisturizing and the regular use of protein conditioners will help maintain your hair's health. Dr. Hair emphasizes that consumers should apply scalp oils that do not contain petroleum. "Keep the hair and scalp clean-and moisturized," he admonishes users. "All things considered, your hair simply should not be one of your paramount concerns during an already demanding school year."
