How often should you wash your hair?

How often should you wash your hair?

On average, 90% Americans shampoo their hair daily. Centuries ago people washed their hair on monthly basis. In 1950s getting hair washed and styled once a week from a salon became customary. An advice column was published in the year 1908 in the New York Times, encouraging people to wash their hair twice a week, and claimed it to be completely harmless. Thanks to them and the aggressive marketing campaigns by the shampoo manufacturers, today people cannot stay without washing their hair frequently. What can be the hazards of frequent washing? We will get back to that later. First it is important to understand what makes your hair look dirty?


Every human being has sebaceous glands on the scalp; in fact they appeared when you were fourth months old inside your mother’s womb. They are connected to every hair follicle and are responsible for releasing sebum, what you call oil. This natural oil is beneficial for moisturizing your scalp and makes it waterproof. It prevents dryness of the scalp and stops it from shedding prematurely. However, too much accumulation of this oil may lead to skin conditions like acne vulgaris.
How often should you wash your hair
It is important to maintain a balance between washing and not washing, by understanding the condition of the hair.
What are the hazards of frequent washing?
Freshly washed hair may feel good and smell great but over washing can make them dry, dull and more prone to breakage.
Paradi Mirmirani, MD, a Vallejo, Calif., dermatologist and specialist in hair research, says ”Hair is a fiber, think of a wool fiber: The more you wash it, the worse it’s going to look. There’s no need to wash your hair every day either.” Frequent washing can make your hair look like “a pile of straw”.
Isn’t it ironic that our hair washing routine involves the use of lathering shampoos which depletes our hair of the natural oils and then we again apply conditioners to replenish them with moisture?
We usually associate shampoo bubbles with cleanliness, but in reality these bubbles are formed by the harsh ingredients present in the shampoos such as sulfates. In fact these sulfates have nothing to do with cleaning of the scalp, they are just meant for forming bubbles and actually dehydrate your hair.
Mirmirani says, “That’s what we’ve gotten used to because we see the commercials with big white foam,” she adds, “Shampoo removes oil and excess skin cells from the scalp. It’s not doing any favors for the hair, unless you have a lot of product in it that is making your hair look dull. But in general, shampoo is not good for fiber.”
Owner of New York’s Arrojo Studio and former stylist on TLC’s reality show “What Not to Wear”, Nick Arrojo says, “Hair washed every day with shampoo tends to need more styling product. Because it’s so clean, it’s also soft, loose, and floppy and therefore harder to style.” He suggests, “Natural ingredients produce less suds, but they still have plenty of cleaning power with the added benefit of less residue.”
Therefore, switching to sulfate-free, non-foaming shampoos can protect your hair from damage.
So how often you should wash?
The need for shampooing varies from person to person depending on the hair type and how much oil is produced by the scalp.
Paradi Mirmirani says, “It really depends on the scalp and hair type and what you do to the hair.”
Thick, long and curlier hair can go without washing for more days. Heather Woolery- Lloyd, MD, director of ethnic skin care at the University of Miami, says about thick and curly hair, “This is because the oils from the scalp do not travel down the hair shaft as quickly, so the hair tends to be dry and requires less frequent shampooing.”
Short, thin and straight hair tents to get oily more quickly, for such hair type skipping a day would be better.
Arrojo says that most people wash their hair frequently to make them smell good. He suggests that those who want to wash their hair frequently should use lightweight shampoos, usually labeled as “everyday shampoo”.
What else can you do to get rid of sebum?
Here are some of the tricks you can do with your hair to get rid of excess oil.
Arrojo suggests that you can take help of the dry shampoos and powders for absorbing oils. He says, “One trick is to use talcum powder in the hair in lieu of shampoo.”
Joe Murray, owner of Hale Organic Salon in New York recommends, “If you can’t stand a being a little oily, then coat your wet hair with conditioner up to the ears to protect it and then just wash the scalp.”
You can even omit conditioners for rinsing, just rinse your hair with simple water or you can make your own natural shampoo. Add baking soda or lemon to the water and wash your hair with it.
While choosing shampoos, look for the ones that suit your specific hair type. Massage your scalp everyday and always choose a good quality hair brush.

Top 10 Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Top 10 Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Indulge yourself in the goodness of dark chocolate. This amazing food can provide you with countless health benefits, while leaving a sweet taste in your mouth.
The origin of chocolate dates back to 1500 BC. The cocoa beans were used in Aztec and Mayan civilizations. Christopher Columbus brought these cocoa beans to Spain and later they spread all over Europe while the first chocolate bar was introduced in 1874.
Chocolates are produced from the seeds of Theobroma cacao, commonly known as cacao tree. The tree is native to tropical rain forests of South America and holds significant importance for its beans or seeds that are used for cocoa powder, and cocoa butter. The cocoa beans are then crushed and grounded to get cocoa liquor. Then this cocoa liquor is processed further by mixing sugar and fat and finally you get your favorite chocolate.
There are different types of chocolate available, the taste of chocolate depends on the proportion of cocoa and other ingredients that are used in its mixture. The three main varieties of chocolate are milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate. Out of these three varieties dark chocolate has the highest amount of antioxidants which makes it the most beneficial variety for your health.
dark chocolate bar
The healthy nutrients you can get from dark chocolate are Potassium, Copper, Magnesium and Iron. You also get flavonoids from chocolate, an important antioxidant for preventing many diseases. In fact, it has 5 times more flavonoids than an apple. These nutrients serve your body with the following health benefits:
Promote Heart Health
A research was conducted in Sweden, over a time period of 9 years to find about the heart promoting benefits of chocolate. In this study more than 31,000 women participated, who consumed one to two servings of dark chocolate per week. A reduced risk of heart failure was observed in these participants.
Another research conducted in Germany proved that consuming a square of dark chocolate everyday can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke up to 39%. Thanks to the flavonoids that help with the flexibility of arteries and veins.
It also promotes good circulation because of its blood thinning and anti-clotting properties.
Control Blood Sugar
Good news for diabetics! Dark chocolate ranks low on Glycemic index, which means it won’t spike your sugar levels. The flavonoids present in dark chocolate reduce insulin resistance and helps your body to efficiently use the insulin. Claudio Ferri, M.D., a professor at the University of L’Aquila in Italy says, “Flavonoids increase nitric oxide production, and that helps control insulin sensitivity.”
Weight Loss
Did you know that dark chocolate can actually help you to lose weight? A research conducted at the University of Copenhagen, revealed that dark chocolate gives you a more filling effect and lessens your cravings for fatty, sweet and salty foods. So if you incorporate a little portion to your diet you can get optimum health benefits without a weight gain. A cup of hot chocolate is also beneficial for reducing appetite.
Happier Babies
A Finnish study revealed that babies born to mothers, who consumed dark chocolates during their pregnancies, were happier and they smiled a lot. So, it is better to use chocolate during pregnancy rather than giving pacifiers to your crying babies after birth. It also relieves stress in mothers-to-be.
Good Mood Food!
An important chemical called phenylethylamine or PEA is present in chocolates, it is the same chemical that the brain creates when you experience the feeling of love. Phenylethylamine also encourages the release of endorphins by your brain, a chemical essential for putting you in a good mood.
Dark chocolates can also relieve stress by reducing the level of stress hormones. It contains serotonin, which acts as a natural anti-depressant.
Prevents sunburns
Dark chocolates contain high levels of flavanols. A research conducted in London proved that flavanols found in chocolates can provide protection against harmful effects of the sun.
Boosts Brain Powers
Researchers at the Oxford University studied long term effects of chocolate consumption on human brain. 2000 participants were included in the study, with age above 70. It was concluded that participants consuming chocolates high in flavanol contents scored high on cognitive tests.
Another study conducted by the researchers at the University of Nottingham, found that drinking flavanol rich cocoa can regulate the flow of blood to the key parts of the brain, as a result its performance is improved.
Provides Cough Relief
Dark chocolates contain theobromine, a chemical that is effective for treating cough. It is as effective as codeine, but unlike codeine it does not cause dullness and tastes far better than it. Maria Belviai, a professor at the National Heart and Lung Institute, in London, says about chocolate that, “It had none of the negative side effects.”
Treats Diarrhea
The use of cocoa for treating diarrhea can be traced back to the 16th Century in European and South American cultures. Researchers at the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute found that the flavonoids present in the cocoa help to bind the protein, responsible for regulating fluid secretion in the intestine, this results in a relief from diarrhea.
Fights Cancer
Dark chocolate is considered among “one of the best cancer-fighting foods” along with other foods like garlic, blueberries, red wine and green tea. Chocolate works in two ways to fight against cancer. It inhibits the cancer cell division and also reduces inflammation.
While choosing chocolate make sure it contains at least 70% of cocoa. Remember! Chocolates are high in fats and sugar, so it is better to consume them in moderate amounts. Mary Engler, Ph.D., a professor of physiological nursing at the University of California at San Francisco, suggests taking no more than 200 grams or 7 ounces of dark chocolate in a week. Also look for labels saying sugar contents less than 10 grams.

When you take large amount of fruits in your diet it may cause intestinal upset, because of the natural acids present in fruits. Your body can’t handle heavy acids and may create internal changes.

Fish:

Fish that are raised environmentally are great sources of protein, but here we are not concerned about protein. But are concerned with the hormone called “leptin” that is present in your body.
