Hairy Tales: When you've lost it and How to Get it Back

Ever wash your hair and step back from the drain horrified to see how much hair you've lost? Your first reaction may be horror and your second reaction fear.

Take a deep breath.  Hair loss can be attributed to many reasons.  It can be hereditary, hormonal or just due to a less than clean scalp.   If your hair loss is due to your genes there is very little you can do to regrow your hair.  Hormonal issues are not the focus of this blog, but if your hair is less than clean, we have some suggestions for you.

Sebum build up on the scalp can be responsible for hair loss and hair breakage. Shampooing is simply not enough to remove the oily buildup on your scalp and hair.  This build up can cause your hair to break.  Experts recommond  washing your hair with jojoba oil. 

Jojoba oil is technically a wax from a cactus like plant. Its oil is non-greasy and can be used by every skin type. The advantage to jojoba oil is that is absorbs sebum like a sponge.  Once the sebum is absorbed the hair is healthier and less likely to break.
