For women, men and children all around the world, hair is an expression of beauty, status, confidence, and personal style. Unfortunately, for a growing number of women -- up to 30 million in the United States who suffer with hair loss -- the words "bad hair day" take on a whole new and much more serious meaning. Hair loss not only robs a woman of her sense of style, but often-times her sense of self-esteem and security -- it can be very traumatizing. Hair breakage and loss are seen more commonly in African American women than in women in other ethnicities. The L’Oreal Institute for ethnic hair/skin research has found that an estimated 60 percent of African American women report having problems with hair breakage and 27 percent experience hair thinning or loss.
Although years of research has linked women’s hair loss to stress, hormonal imbalance, medications, diet, vitamin deficiency and the like, more recent studies have attributed ingredients found in hair and skin products used daily by consumers as a cause to other more serious conditions. Harmful synthetic chemicals like sodium lauryl and laureth sulfates, propylene glycol and paraben preservative systems can build up over time and clog your pores, leading to the loss of oxygen, causing skin irritation, inflammation, skin allergies, hair loss, nervous system disorders and even cancer (simplyorganicbeauty.com).
Many people do not read product ingredient labels nor utilize a healthy hair care regimen as they should. But the skin, scalp and hair are remarkably efficient at absorbing toxins and carcinogens. A group of researchers at Stanford University in 1999 found they could deliver a DNA vaccine to laboratory mice as effectively by rubbing it on their skin as injecting it into muscle. In fact, some toxins can do more harm absorbed through the skin than through the digestive system because they lodge directly in fat cells, bypassing the liver (ota.com).
