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!
