Hair-Care
Disasters:
Use Caution
With
Relaxers and
Dyes
-
It's never a
good sign
when the
hairdresser
panics.
That's what
happened to
Barbara
Cabrera-Avila,
38, when she
returned to
the salon
about six
weeks after
having her
hair
straightened
a couple of
years
ago. The
cause for
alarm:
several bald
spots in the
back of her
head.
Look Out
For Your
Eyes
- Whether
applying
hair
chemicals at
home or in a
hair salon,
consumers
and
beauticians
should be
careful to
keep them
away from
the eyes.
A new
FDA-approved
laser hair
restoration
procedure
can stop -
and possibly
even reverse
- hair loss.
Of the
estimated 80
million
people
nationwide
fighting
hair loss,
more than 25
million are
women. And
it can have
a major
impact on
how a woman
feels about
herself.
Here's what
you need to
know.
Hair
Color and
Cancer
- Over the
years, some
studies have
indicated a
possible
link between
hair dye use
and cancer,
while others
have not.
Vitamin D
Deficiency
Linked to
Health
Conditions
and Hair
Loss
These
seemingly
disparate
illnesses
all have a
common
factor –
they are
associated
with Vitamin
D deficiency
in humans.
Endemic
diseases
such as
diabetes,
high blood
pressure,
‘stroke’,
heart
disease,
depression,
gum disease,
seasonal
influenza –
as well as
certain
forms of
cancer,
multiple
sclerosis,
tuberculosis,
autism in
children or
body muscle
mass wasting
