Herbal Beauty Care

Alopecia is the partial or complete loss of hair—especially on the scalp—either in patches (alopecia areata), on the entire head (alopecia totalis), or over the entire body (alopecia universalis).

A basic understanding of hair biology and normal hair development is essential to distinguish normal versus abnormal hair loss in children and adolescents.

Each person has about 100,000 hairs on their scalp. Although it is normal to lose between 25 and 100 hairs per day, any disruption of the hair growth cycle may cause abnormal hair loss.

Hair loss is caused by a variety of conditions like medical history, family history of hair loss (genetics), medications (including vitamins), nutritional status, high fever, crash diets, emotional stress, surgery, and hair-care habits.

Although in children and adolescents hair loss may be caused by a wide variety of factors, most children experience hair loss as a result of one of four major causes

Fungal infections (mainly due to Tinea Capitis) Alopecia areata, or localized baldness, the sudden appearance of sharply defined circular or oval patches of hair loss, most often on the scalp. The hair loss is not accompanied by other visible evidence of scalp disease, and the condition is not contagious. Trauma to the hair shaft is another common cause of hair loss in children. Often the trauma is caused by traction resulting from, for example, tight braids, ponytails, or by friction (hats, hair bands, or rubbing against a bed). Trauma may also be caused by chemicals or burns. Telogen effluvium, another common cause of hair loss, affects both children and adults, mostly between six and 16 weeks. Partial or complete baldness occurs later if not treated for appropriate cause.

Till a few years ago, Saturdays were allotted for a relaxing oil massage and bath followed by an afternoon nap. But with a drastic change in lifestyle, people now prefer to go to a professional masseur and don’t mind paying through the nose for a ritual that was once enjoyed at home. It used to be one of grandma's most effective and refreshing remedies for many body ailments, especially stress. But times have changed. With the excuse of "no-time'' the new generation, prefers to hand themselves over to professionals for the job. It has become a flourishing business, at times with sleazy overtones, No wonder there are so many pairs of hands (males and females) prospering by giving the tired and restless crowd a good rub-a- dub.
