  Pictures Head Lice 

  Lice, my child will never get lice!  I make sure she washes her hair regularly.  Many parents have spoken these words only to find out that their child can indeed get lice.  Lice does not discriminate, so it is important to know the signs of lice if you have a child in school. 

  First of all it is a good idea to check out pictures head lice.  They are small parasites that often hide in the hair.  It is easier to find the nits, lice eggs, than the lice themselves.  Nits attach themselves to the hair close to the scalp.  They are light brown in color and may be mistaken for dandruff, but they do not come off easily the way dandruff would.  The other major indicator is itching.  If you notice your child scratching a lot be sure and check for lice.  To remove lice be sure to look to natural products instead of harmful pesticides.

  Seaweed Slimming Body Wrap Benefits 

  Benefits of Seaweed Body Wraps

  Body wraps have become very popular for good reason.  They will relax you and rejuvenate your skin.  They help detoxify the body and perform other important functions such as acne treatments, weight loss and firming the skin.  Seaweed is an excellent ingredient for a body wrap.  It offers numerous benefits. 

  Seaweed Body Wraps

  Seaweed naturally removes toxins from the body.  When a body wrap with seaweed is performed you will feel rejuvenated.  Seaweed is also a good toning agent.  It contains a long list of vitamins and minerals which includes Vitamins A, B, C, E, K, niacin, folic acid, and pantothenic acid.  It is especially high in Vitamin B12.  It also contains beta-carotene which is an important anti-oxidant.  It is rich in sixty plus trace elements like calcium, iodine, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc and phosphorus.  Ascorbic acid and selenium in sea weed are protectants against free radicals that will cause cell damage.  Seaweed body wraps are also popular for weight loss and cellulite reduction.  The weight and inches lost with a body wrap are more than just water weight. And the toxins removed from sea weed body wraps will make it easier for you to lose weight, because toxins are stored in body fat. 

  It is a good idea to gently exfoliate the skin prior to your body wrap.  Also be sure to drink a lot of water before and after the wrap.  When your body perspires the toxins are removed, so the more hydrated you are the better.  A seaweed body wrap will leave your skin feeling tighter and softer and your body rejuvenated.  You may want to do a few wraps over several weeks to get your desired results.

  The Causes Of Dandruff and Itchy Scalp 

  What Causes Dandruff and A Good Dandruff Shampoo?

  Most everyone is familiar with dandruff.  It is known by small flaking bits of scalp that show up in your hair and on your clothes.  It can be extremely itchy and annoying.  And many people find it to be embarrassing as well.   Let’s explore what causes this most common scalp condition. 

  Skin cells renew themselves constantly.  As new cells are formed dead cells are sloughed off.  When someone has dandruff this process is not working properly. A good  Dandruff shampoo  must be able to handle the causes of dandruff along with the symptoms. Dandruff occurs when cells are shed prior to them actually dying.  A more severe form of dandruff is known as scalp seborrheic dermatitis. 

  Not everyone agrees on the exact cause of dandruff, but there are several things that are believed to contribute to the problem.    Many experts believe the main culprit to be a fungus called malassezia.  This fungus is present in small amounts on every scalp.   But in some people it can grow out of control.  Malassezia feeds on the oil that is produced by the hair follicle.  When too much of this fungus is present the scalp can become irritated and produce extra skin cells causing dandruff. 

  There are other things that might contribute to dandruff like not brushing the hair enough.  Brushing regularly can help remove dead skin cells.  Not shampooing enough can have the same effect as not brushing enough.  Yeast build up may also cause dandruff.  It has been shown that people who are sensitive to yeast have a higher risk of dandruff.  Dry skin may also be a cause.  This tends to occur more often in the winter when people are often inside in dry air.  Some other causes could be stress, reaction to chemical products, illness and poor diet.  Also, people with certain illnesses such as HIV and psoriasis are more inclined to get dandruff.

  Scalp Problems and Scalp Conditions 

  Scalp Conditions and Scalp Health

  Many people worry about taking care of their hair but neglected the health of the scalp.  There are several disorders that affect the scalp.  Some conditions are just minor irritants, but others are more serious and may be painful.  Some common conditions that affect the scalp are:  dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and seborrhea and many of these conditions cause itchy scalp, flaky scalp and scalp redness to name a few scalp problems.

  Everyone has heard of dandruff.  It is the most common scalp condition.  Mild forms of dandruff are annoying with some itching and scalp flaking.  More serious dandruff conditions causes flakes to clump together and form oily mounds on the scalp. 

  Contact dermatitis is caused by an irritation or allergic reaction on the scalp.  This often comes from chemicals in shampoos, conditioners, hair dyes, relaxers and perms. 

  Seborrheic dermatitis causes itching and flaking and greasy yellowish scales to form on the scalp.  This is a very itchy condition, but scratching may cause infection to occur.  Babies often get seborrheic dermatitis and it is called cradle cap.   Cradle cap usually goes away on its own within a few months.  In adults however seborrheic dermatitis is chronic and must be treated regularly. 

  Psoriasis is also a chronic condition.  It affects the scalp as well as other parts of the body.  It can occur on arms and legs and even effect joints.  Psoriasis produces scales on the scalp that are powder and look white or silvery. 

  A very greasy scalp may be caused by seborrhea.  This condition occurs when the sebum gland is overproducing oil on the scalp.  This condition occurs often in adolescence and tends to lessen with age.  With seborrhea the hair is usually very oily too.

  What Makes Your Hair Turn Gray 

  Why Does Hair Turn Gray?

  Everyone know that hair starts loosing its color and turning gray as we get older.  But what are the underlying forces – what causes gray hair.

  Each strand of hair is actually made up of two parts.  The shaft is what we see growing, and the root is the bottom part that keeps hair attached to the scalp.  Each root is surrounded by tissue below the skin called the hair follicle.  Each follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells that produce melanin.   This melanin give the strand of hair its color whether it be brown, black or blonde.  

  Melanin is also what give skin its color.  The amount of melanin in the skin determines if a person is fair or dark skinned.  The same is true for the hair.  The amount of melanin in the hair follicle determines the darkness, or lightness, of the hair.  When it comes to skin care and hair care manufacturers they are very aware of the amount on melanin in the skin and in the hair that they make products for.

  As a person ages, the pigment cells in the hair follicles begin to die.  Fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle mean the hair will be come transparent and turn gray, silver, or white in color.  For most people gray hairs begin popping up and eventually cover larger parts or all of the head. 

  Individuals turn gray at varying ages.  For some it starts as early as high school or college.  People in their thirty’s and forty’s often begin to see grey hairs appearing.  It may take up to ten years for the hair to turn completely gray.  It is mostly determined by heredity.   Dark hair may show grey earlier, but this is just because there is more contrast between they gray hair and the dark hair.  Blondes are just as likely to turn gray as brunettes.
