Hair care recipes, natural hair care homemade recipes

-
 As with general skin care, hair care should be taken seriously. Hair care recipes, natural hair care homemade recipes enhance the quality of hair, leaving the shaft shiny, rid of chemicals and wonderfully voluminous.


Whether you have greasy, volume-free hair, dry, damaged hair, or simply want to boost the healthy hair, hair care recipes are the way to go.


Beautiful, healthy hair is a symbol of health and good hygiene but not only that. Hair is so much more. Why is it that some people have naturally beautiful, full volume hair while others have to suffer with thin, brittle hair? Those who do, know that it is difficult to find just the right ingredient.

To fully understand how to take care of hair, we must understand what it is made of, how it grows.
Each hair is made of dead, keratinized cells that are held together. The shaft of a hair is what we see on the surface. The root is hidden inside the skin and surrounded by a hair follicle. The oil glands surround the hair root and provide the layer that protects it.


Each hair follicle goes through two stages of growth:



Growth stage


The cells multiply and die. New cells are added to the hair root making the hair longer. 


Resting stage


Comes after the growth stage. Old hair roots fall out and are replaced by the new hair follicle. 


Scalp hair grows for 2 to 6 years and then rests for 3 months. At any time, around 85% of scalp hairs are growing. 




Normal hair loss is about 100 hairs a day. Many factors like illness, age, genetics, stress, nutrition, excessive usage of hair products etc. can alter the speed of hair loss.

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
