HOW
TO BEAT SCALP DERMATITIS
|
Dr Hugh Rushton,
a specialist in hair and scalp science says that scalp dermatitis
is not necessarily a lifelong condition. He advises against colouring
or perming as any chemicals are likely to cause stinging and inflammation.
Dr Rushton advises cutting out dairy products for a period of
about six weeks and although you may notice a worsening of the
condition for a short time as the toxins work their way out of
your system, you should notice a considerable difference after
around 40 days. You can then reintroduce foods gradually.
Dr Rushton
also suggests washing your hair every other day to get rid of
skin flakes so your scalp has a chance to heal and renew itself.
If you would
like to see a trichologist its worth mentioning to your GP next
time you pay a visit.
CHARLES
WORTHINGTONS HOLIDAY HAIR TIPS
According to Charles the hottest look for travelling is big sunglasses,
silk scarves and floppy hats! The hair it stiff and lacquered
with masses of body, height and wave. This way you will look as
good when you arrive as when you set off.
To achieve
this look Charles recommends washing and conditioning with volumising
formulas and finger drying using a body boosting styling product.
If your hair is long use heated or velcro rollers or a hot brush
on shorter hair. Let the hair cool before removing rollers, unwind,
shake the head forward, lift up then backcomb the crown for added
height. Brush into place and keep it there with a firm hold hairspray,
Jackie Onassis style!

HAIRDRESSERS
TIP
If your hair
goes made with static invest in a wooden comb and natural bristle
brush, synthetic materials create more of a charge. Leave-in conditioners
can also help.

TOP
TIP
If
you have greasy hair swap your cotton pillows cases
for satin or silk ones as these will absorb the
natural oils from your hair. Do not forget to change
them frequently!
