Hair talk, perms, braids, scalp, healthy hair

Hair grows 1/2 inch per month, sometimes slightly faster during the spring and summer months. This adds up to 6 inches a year. Hair goes through growth cycles. The active growing phase of a individual hair is called the Anagen phase. The Anagen phase lasts an average of 3 to 5 years. The hair then goes into a resting phase called Catagen phase. In the Catagen phase, the hair rests. During the resting stage, the hair is shed. The shedding stage is called Telogen. When a hair is shed, it is replaced by a new hair from the same follicle and the growing cycle starts again. Every hair follows its own cycle of growth, resting, and falling out, which means all hairs grow at different rates. It is normal to shed between 50 to 100 strands a day. There is a difference between shedding and breakage of the hair. Shedding of the hair includes the whole hair follicle including the hair bulb. Breakage of the follicle includes part of the follicle usually the weakest which is located in the middle or end of the follicle.

HOW DOES STRESS EFFECT YOUR HAIR?

Stress is a factor that produces body and mental tension. Whatever happens in the mind influences the body and vice versa. Whenever they are out of sync, physical and mental stress will occur. Some of the symptoms of stress are irregular breathing, frequent tapping of fingers, change in appetite, loss of humor, inability to sleep, oversleeping, frequent stomach upset, difficulty in thinking, increased drinking and smoking, increase in tranquilizer intake, endless anxiety and depression, cold hands, frequent gritting of teeth, eyestrain, repeated headaches, and high blood pressure. Stress can also result into hair loss in patches known as ALOPECIA AREATA, thinning, and TRICHOTILLOMANIA, pulling out of ones own hair.

When stressed out, the body sets off a chain of chemical reactions 1. The blood sugar soars. 2. Minerals are mobilized from the blood stream and the bones. 3. Fat is produced at an alarming rate. 4.The heart rate and breathing speed up. 5.The body is drained of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. 6.The hair and nails get nutrients last from the body nutrition system, due to stress, the hair and nails don't get the required amount of nutrition, which results to very slow growth, dry, brittle, and wiry.
