Unfortunately, not everyone is able to get the restorative eight hours they need.

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, over 40 million Americans a year will suffer from some sort or sleep disorder – many whom will go undiagnosed, or turn to over-the-counter sleep aids for relief.

Hair Care and Aging

Sep 20th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Beauty & Personal Care

As each of us grows older so does our hair and nails. The most obvious sign of aging in the hair is a change in the color. This is because there is less melanin produced in the hair follicles colored new hair the older we got. This is the same melanin that gives our skin its color and causes the hair to become gray. But, aging will affect our hair in other ways as well.

Here is the proteins strand that grows through an open follicle in the skin. A single hair has a normal life span of four to five years and then falls out which is replaced with the new hair. How much hair on the body and head is determined by your genes what almost everyone experiences loss with aging.

Age-Defying Hair

Jul 28th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Beauty & Personal Care

A lustrous, clean, and lively hair is a subject of envy for many. It is a manifestation of an optimum health and an evidence of youthful glow. While it is a frustration for some, you can transform that dull, grimy, and limp hair of yours to an enviably age-defying one too! How?

Shampoo only he scalp

If you compare skin care to hair care, shampoo is the soap that gets rid of oils, dirt, dandruff, pollutants and other impure particles that gradually assembles in hair. Just like your soap, your shampoo should also be used only unto select areas to prevent it from stripping out so much as to make hair unmanageable.

So when shampooing, remember that your hair is dirtiest and oiliest at the scalp. Shampoo just your scalp and the sudsy overflow would be sufficient to cleanse the rest of you hair without saying goodbye to your hairs natural shine. Remember, too much shampoo eliminates too much oil that actually protects the protein structure of hair from damage, and youre just reversing the end of your purpose. Tsk tsk
