Most of us wake us in the morning with our hair a mess. According to hair care experts that Satin Pillowcase is uniquely designed to help prevent the cuticle heating up during the night as the head moves around and puts pressure on the hair because the head and hair flows over the satin. The unique construction of the Beauty Pillow with satin pillowcase allows the satin to flow even easier and is also better for your skin in helping to prevent facial creases caused by the face lying in the same position for an extended time. A cotton pillowcase may feel soft and highly absorbent causing it to draw moisture from your hair and skin while you sleep. The natural oils found on the scalp are uniformly distributed along the hair shaft with the simple act of brushing, but these oils are then absorbed by the cotton, drying it and making it more brittle. The weave of the cotton is also abrasive tending to grip individual strands of hair causing them to break and the hair to tangle. This is why your hair can look such a mess when you wake in the morning.

Any heat source applied to the hair can cause damage to it. Straightening irons are a popular hair tool used to turn wavy or curly hair into straight and smooth style without the use of chemicals. But using it every day can cause hair damage that is far more difficult to correct.

To protect your hair from Straightening Irons, don’t use it every day. Try natural styles and refrain from using it. Reducing the amount of heat applied can work wonders as it minimize damage? Most popular straightening irons have heat control which enables you to select the heat settings you think will give you the best results but start from the lowest first.

Choose one of the many hair products that will work to protect your hair from heat. These products are vitamin enriched to minimize the damage of straightening iron.

Managing healthy hair can be very challenging and it can be damaged in various ways. Most damage is caused by over-processing the hair during chemical services (relaxing, hair color, permanent waving) and further aggravated by daily styling with blow drying and curling irons. All of these factors can rob your hair of moisture and essential nutrients needed to maintain the strength and elasticity of hair.
When hairs break at the ends, they’re called “split ends,” and the splits can travel up the hair shaft. The break starts when points in the hair thicken or weaken. Sometimes this happens near the scalp so a person’s hair never grows very long. When you understand the factors that can cause damage to your hair, you can minimize the effects. Hair breakage and split ends happen less when hair is not dried out and it moist and healthy. By taking care of your hair, you can drastically reduce the chances of hair breakage and split ends.
A major cause of hair breakage is improper use of chemical hair treatments, like the treatments described above. But brushing or combing hair too frequently or in the wrong way (such as using a fine-toothed comb on very thick, curly hair or teasing hair) can lead to breakage. Hair extensions and braids can also cause breakage. Leaving them in too long or pulling them out without professional help can cause hair and scalp damage or even hair loss.

On the other hand, we can recognise hair that is in good condition. It shines, it is easy to manage - it just looks good. Even though the hair shaft is technically ‘dead’, in that its cells are no longer dividing, we may describe it as ‘healthy’. So why can its properties change so much that the hair loses this ‘healthy’ appearance?

Sometimes this may be due to a medical condition such as poor nutrition: starvation or anaemia due to a lack of protein in the diet can damage the hair. In famine conditions, some people’s hair changes as it grows from black to gingery-red if they cannot get enough protein.

Normally, we lose about 100 hairs each day - old hairs fall out and are replaced with new ones. But with hair loss, hair thins at a rate that can’t be replaced. Falling hair not replaced by new ones can make a person bald or have bald patches. Hair loss can either be temporary or permanent. Changing hairstyle or shampoos used may ease the problem. But if that doesn’t help, a doctor may prescribe a drug to slow or stop hair loss and to aid hair growth. Hair is healthiest when we eat right, exercise, and protect it from too much sun.
