Stress related hair loss in women is an increasingly common problem.A
growing number of women in stress-related jobs suffer from thinning
hair.Modern life and high stress levels associated with a fast-moving
lifestyle can have a truly dramatic effect upon hair.Considerable
stress can also be placed on a mother, especially if working, by
the oftenformidable demands of family life.
Many parts of the body can suffer the effects of stress, but it
shows very quickly in the hair because the life cycle of the hair
is interrupted, causing it to fall out prematurely.In most cases,
this type of hair loss is temporary and the hair which is lost will
be replaced.The problem is, however, by the time one particular
hair is replaced another two have fallen out, so the overall effect
can be a significant thinning of the hair.
Problem Solving
The first rule, if you see excessive hair fall is dont panic.This
will cause more stress and even more hair to fall!Most people who
can eliminate or reduce the levels of stress will recover the hair
very well.
The Tony Maleedy Trichology Hair Loss and Scalp Treatment can be
used to reduce excessive hair loss and encourage good hair growth.
This treatment is a blend of plant extracts and is commonly used
in professional trichology clinics to stabilise hair fall.It is
sprayed onto the scalp once a day, where it has a pleasant cooling
sensation.It should be used for three to six months until the quantity
of hair coming out is back to normal.It would be wise to use the
Trichology Scalp Improvement Shampoo too as this will ensure that
the scalp is healthy and the hair will grow back as quickly as possible.

Hair Drying Tips
Dont stop moving the dryer. If you do, your hair will overheat
and become damaged.
Dont use brushes made entirely of plastic because, unless your
hair is very short, you hair will probably end up in knots.
Dont turn off the dryer until youre sure the roots are completely
dry.If you hair has cold patches then it is not dry, which means
your style will flop and kings will appear.

We all love our early morning cuppa but here are a few ways to make
the most of it
- To
reduce puffiness placecool, used tea bags over your eyes and
relax for 10 minutes.
- Keep
your feet smelling sweet by immersing them in a bowl of warm,
black tea.The tannic acid is a natural astringent and helps
kill odour causing bacteria.
- Take
the stingout of an insect bite or cut by placing a cool, brewed
green-tea bag over the affected area.

Did
you Know
.
- If
one cup of coffee keeps you on a high all day, your genes
may make you particularly sensitive to caffeine.Swedish
researchers have discovered a protein in the brain that
appears to prevent the effects of the coffee wearing off.Differing
levels of the protein could explain how a cup can keep
some people bussing for hours whilst others need regular
fixes.
- Smokers
be warned research published in the International Journal
of Dermatology shows that smokers are three times more
likely to get severe pre-mature wrinkles than non-smokers
and that these wrinkles were visible in smokers as young
as 20 yet another incentive to ditch the habit.
- The
British Dietetic Association are calling for standard
portion sizes to be brought back.They say that king-size
big-eat and super-size portions are partly to blame
for the increasing obesity problem in this country.Studies
showed that when faced with a larger portion we automatically
ate more, unfortunately we get used to this sized portion
and so need to eat even more to feel satisfied.

- I
wear a hat quite often but someone told me this isnt good for
my hair.Is this true?
- The
main problem that this can cause is a build up of static.Very
tight-fitting hats may cause breakage especially if your hair
is processed.
- I
have been dyeing my hair black for quite some time but would
now like to go back to my light brown natural shade. Can I do
this myself?
- If
youve been putting a very dark colorant on your hair for a
while it would definitely be best to go to a stylist.Your hair
may need to be stripped of colour before it can be corrected
especially if your hair is mid-length or longer.If you could
bear it, it would be beneficial to have a short style for a
good while, so that you style will eventually be your natural
colour without having to continue corrective dyeing.Dont forget
to keep hair in tip-top condition whilst you are doing this.
