Using too harsh hair products or poor hair tactics might actually enhance the hair loss process by causing hair breakage, split ends while compromising on your hair’s natural luster and shine. The following lines are dedicated to some of the most useful hair care tips that will help you achieve healthier and better looking hair.

• Hair cleaning is one of the most important processes in hair care. Use a mild shampoo to properly get rid of all the detrimental and palling oil deposits and dirt accumulation. Furthermore, adding a tablespoon of baking soda to your shampoo or to the hair directly while shampooing will help you wash away all the excessive chemicals and water impurities.
• Dry and brittle hair lacks the natural and normal moisture level and usually tends to be devoid of the necessary vitality and hair shine. A simple hair remedy is to massage a small chunk of butter over your hair, specifically hair ends and tips and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and enjoy luxuriant shiny hair!
• Another hair care tip for healthier and shiner hair is to use an easy-to-make hair mask containing 2 teaspoons castor oil with 1 teaspoon glycerin and one egg white. This mask works best when applied and massaged onto wet hair, allowed to firmly settle for 5-10 minutes and then washed later.
• Dilute a small amount of fabric softener with water and apply on the hair to get tangle free and conditioned hair. This is also an excellent hair care tip for those who possess fine, fly away hair or even for those whose hair is coarse and curly and tends to knot easily. You may also experiment with the amount of your conditioner to best suit your hair texture. Finer hair should make use of a weak solution whereas coarse hair types should use a stronger one.
• Once a week treat your hair to a gentle massage of warm olive oil. After application, wrap your hair in a towel and let the oil work the moisture back into your hair for about 45 minutes. Shampoo and thoroughly rinse later.

• Hair is most susceptible to damage when wet. For this reason treat your wet hair with extreme care and avoid rubbing harshly or pulling. Allow your hair to dry before combing or brushing. This will prevent hair from breaking.

• Hot blow-dryers are similar to a death sentence for your hair as they tend to over dry and break the hair. While blow-drying, set your dryer levels to low or medium and instead of concentrating on one spot keep the dryer moving from the root to the tip.
• Hair care tools such as combs and brushes with uneven teeth or bristles might actually tear your hair. Buy hair care tools that have smooth, rounded edges and texture so as to protect your hair from unwanted damage.
• Harsh chemicals are bad for your hair, its color, natural luster and texture. If however, you must expose your hair to a chemical treatment such as perms, coloring or straightening then we suggest that you place sufficient gap between the events. Frequent exposure to these chemicals will actually result in thinning and eventually breakage of the hair strands.

Avoid excessive sun exposure. This is perhaps one of the most commonly mentioned and stressed hair care tip ever. Excessive sunlight tends to destroy the hair’s natural protein structure thus leaving it susceptible to breakage. If your work routine or schedule involves excessive exposure to sunlight then we suggest that you cover your hair properly. Using hair sunscreen is not a recommended or a proven solution. Use an elongated hat or cap or even a scarf to shield your hair from the sun.

Hair transplant is a surgical process used for the cure and correction of androgenetic alopecia. The process includes redeployment of the person’s left over hair on the scalp to cover the bald area. Normally, the hairs covering the area behind the head and between the ears are not affected by androgenetic alopecia. Hence, the hairs covering this portion of the head are used in hair transplantation.

There has been a lot of bad publicity regarding the aftermath of hair transplantation due to the crude techniques which were adopted initially for the surgery. Furthermore, the hair transplanted looked artificial as well. However, with the passage of time and improvement in treatment methods, the hair transplantation can give off amazingly natural and imperceptible results.

Both women and men can undergo hair transplantation. You can also opt for hair transplant if you have undergone hair loss due to congenital defect, scarring alopecia, or any such injuries. Hair transplant technique is not just limited to the scalp; in fact you can even undergo eyebrow transplantation as well.

It is highly recommended to obtain the desired information from the dermatologist when you intend to undergo hair transplantation as it may also be possible that you may not be suitable for the hair transplant at all. People with excessive hair loss or poor donor areas are not eligible to undergo hair transplant. Hair transplant basically involves the redeployment of your already present hair follicles to achieve a more cosmetically adequate output.

Your dermatologist would discuss the entire procedure and hair line with you prior to surgery. He/she will also mention you the variant procedures for the surgery as most transplant usually involves various surgical sessions. The complete surgical procedure may take from about several months to even a year.  However, you must make sure that you feel comfortable with your dermatologist and the hair transplant surgery he/she will be conducting for you.

Furthermore, you must also make sure that you do not pay any extra charges for the entire surgical procedure.

There are variant techniques for hair transplantation and different dermatologists may also have slightly different approaches for carrying out the entire surgical procedure. Normally, the surgery takes an entire day for its completion. Before the surgery, your surgeon would probably revise the entire procedure with you and would also take photographs of your scalp to be able to show you the “before” and “after” differences.

During the surgery, the donor area is usually anesthetized and a special scalpel is used to cut the hair follicles from the donor area to be used for redistribution. The portion of the scalp where hair is to be transplanted is cut off with the help of scalpel in thin strips at equal distances between the various cuts. After this, the skin is processed depending upon the desired results. Micro dissecting is the most recent technique in hair transplantation in which the hair follicles are implanted in natural clumps which contain 1-4 follicles. This technique helps to attain the most natural results. The time required for processing depends upon the donor skin strip and is usually carried out by several expert technicians.

When processing is almost near to completion, the scalp is prepared to accept the grafts. For this, a needle, punch biopsy, or cutting of thin lines with a scalpel may be the method. Scalp punch may be used to make small holes in the skin for the grafts to be introduced into these holes. This procedure is repeated by the surgeon and is usually carried out from the hair line to the backward direction.

Bandaging the scalp after grafting may or may not be necessary. However, the surgeon will guide you on how to take care of the implants. After the hair transplant surgery, you are not allowed to wash your hair for few days. Also, you are required to pay regular visits to your surgeon for any necessary guidelines or follow-ups.
