Gray Hair Remedy: Is there Such a Thing?

None of us want to go Gray but we have to accept some of us will at some stage be affected by it. Your hair will go Gray for several reasons:

Heredity: If there is a history of family members going Gray then you may find you will follow and go Gray as well.

Smoking can cause your hair to go Gray.

Lack of B12 and Omega 3s in your diet.

So how do we go about finding a remedy to combat the onset of gray hair? There are a few options open to us. The first is diet. A lot of what we eat contributes to how our bodies produce healthy producing cells in our hair. As gray hair is usually dry and brittle it may be that you are not eating properly. As mentioned before the lack of B12 and Omega 3s are major contributors to your hair going Gray.

Even if we are on a good diet it does not necessarily mean you will be immune to gray hair. As mentioned if it is heredity then your best bet is to use a very good shampoo that will treat the hair and keep it in good condition. Some Shampoos are designed specifically for the treatment of gray hair and contain things like Omega 3s such as Emu oil. These oils actually treat the hair follicle and rejuvenate the pigment generating cells called Melanocytes. After repeated use you may find that your hair will revert back to its original color. If you are happy to stay Gray then make sure you treat your hair as no one said that gray hair cant look good.

You can always dye your hair. This is the most common. You can use dyes that will gradually change you hair color over time or you can go for an immediate effect. This usually works better for women. As they do look great with different hair colors.

If you do want to prevent or reverse your gray hair then you can take a tablet called Melancor. This is a new product on the market and works in two ways. Firstly when you get gray hair you have a genetically based tendency to produce less melanin as body pigments. Melancor triggers Melanocytes which helps overcome this tendency by increasing you bodys ability to produce melanin pigments.

Secondly Melancor exerts a profound Mleanocytes action whereby it mobilizes stored melanin, moving it out of the hair cell and thereby increasing the number and size of the hair strands and pigments in your natural hair color.

Melancor also stops male pattern baldness by blocking increased levels of DHT. This is the hormone that is responsible for male development in the early stages, and is a major contributor in hair loss as men get older. DHT shrinks the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair.

Do your research, find out why you may have gray hair and find the best solution to remedy it.

Shaving Tips That Work!

If you are one of the thousands of men out there that do not really know how to shave the right way, the following tips and advice might help you to get a closer, smoother, and less bloody shave without the unwanted side effects like razor bumps, ingrown hair, or razor burns.

Pre-Shaving Tips & Techniques

In order to prevent skin irritations that often come with shaving like razor bumps and burns or ingrown hairs, you should soften the hair before shaving for about two to three minutes before you actually start shaving. One of the best ways is to wet the hair with a hot towel for about 15 seconds before shaving. Another possibility is to shave after you took a shower. Always use a good razor blade that is sharp and wet.

In addition to that, we recommend using a good shaving cream or gel. Shaving gels are important, not only in treating or preventing razor bumps, ingrown hairs and razor burns, but also because a good shaving gel will help to minimize the friction associated with shaving and moisturize your skin. While your skin is still wet, apply a shaving gel and wait a minute or two then you can start shaving.

Shaving Direction & Skin Position

If your skin is likely to develop razor bumps, burns or ingrown hairs, you should try shaving with the grain, not against it. Shaving against the grain may get you a closer shave, but this can also cause razor bumps and other skin irritations. If you shave in the same direction your hair grows, your skin is less likely to become irritated. The objective is to angle the razor at 90 degrees. This shaving technique cuts the hair in an effortless fashion nipping the hairs at the grain and not against it. Shaving in the same direction, will also result in less pull on the hairs and less tendency to cut them too short. Hairs cut too short are at risk of curling into the skin causing razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Avoid going over and over the same area as this may result in hairs cut too short and painful skin irritations. It is best to shave with just enough overlap to avoid skipping areas. Also long strokes should be avoided. Instead, use short strokes to avoid razor bumps and friction resulting in other skin inflammations. Shave with the skin in a neutral and relaxed position dont stretch your skin too tight, as this may result in hairs being shaved below the resting surface of the skin, increasing the risk of ingrown hairs.

After-Shaving Tips

After shaving, apply an oil-free moisturizer that soothes and protects your face. If you prefer after-shave products, make sure you check the label for alcohol: dryness and stinging sensations are often side affects of most after-shave items with alcohol being their primary ingredient. Alcohol-based after-shaves are often another cause for irritating the skin if the alcohol level is too high.
Mentholated shaving products should be avoided as well. Although the cooling sensation feels good on the face once applied, menthol, just like alcohol, can be very irritating to the skin.
