Expert Tools for Good Hair Regrowth

A proper hair care regimen serves as a preventive and corrective measure against hair loss and such other hair and scalp problems. Hair loss is a major threat to the self-esteem which is why some people, men and women of all ages already tremble at the thought of it happening to them.

Besides being preventive and corrective, treating the hair properly induces good hair regrowth which reflects in a full healthy head of hair. A good hair care regimen starts with the use of the right tools and doing the right way of using them.

Types of Expert Tools

    Classic Natural Bristles: Boar-bristle brushes are natural which makes them very good for any type of hair. Some brushes of this type have an open cylinder to distribute heat properly during blow drying. They specifically eliminate static electricity which can ruin the look of your hair.
    Synthetic and Natural Bristles: Brushes such as Mason-Pearson is a superior-quality brush that combines nylon with boar fibre. Some of these brushes are specialized based on the length of the hair. They give off excellent results after blow-drying.

    All-Synthetic Bristles: Brushes like these are often used by top hairstylists particularly on a medium-length and long hair.

    Steel-Toothed Comb: Combs with steel teeth work best in parting hair, creating sections, and distributing treatments throughout the length of the hair.

Proper Brushing / Combing for Hair Regrowth

    A clean hair always begins with using a clean tool. Clean your brushes and combs regularly with a diluted shampoo. This alone will already take away dirt collected in the hair from your day-to-day activities.
    Regular brushing doesn’t have to mean every hour of every day. That would already constitute abuse to your hair. Forget about the myth of 100 strokes as this will only rob the natural moisture of your hair.

Brush your hair in the morning and in the evening. Doing so in the morning will help optimize the effects of your shampoo to your hair. Doing so in the evening will remove the accumulated dust and any pore-clogging dirt from your hair.

All in all, brushing is an excellent hair regrowth routine especially for those suffering from hair loss.

    Avoid using a narrow-toothed comb on a wet hair. Wet hair is very weak and thus prone to breakage when harsh tools are used. Use a wide-toothed comb instead to remove the tangles safely.

Scientists discover new gel may stop hair growth, eliminate need to shave

Philadelphia, Penn. - Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a drug that when combined with a gel, helps stop unwanted hair growth, thus eliminating the need to shave.

It was found that cidofovir, commonly used to treat eye infections, significantly reduced hair growth during a study involving sixteen men with beards when combined with a gel and applied on the skin in a three percent dose.

“Eflornithine, the only prescription topical agent approved in the United States for female facial hirsutism [excessive hair growth], has only a 32 percent success rate... therefore, additional topical treatments effective in preventing hair growth are needed,” according to scientist Joy Wan and her team, reports the Daily Mail.

Therefore, the dose level needs to be adjusted, however, when given in too strong of doses, subjects experienced nausea, headache, fever and a drop in white blood cells. 

Further trials regarding the drug will continue before it is perfected, as researchers found the gel to be “...safe and well tolerated. But we did not observe total alopecia hair loss as was previously reported and the treatment dose and duration may have been insufficient to trigger this effect.”
