Spotlight On Treatments – Hair Vitalics

Good nutrition is a vital part of any healthy metabolism and the skin, like every other organ, is dependent upon a wide and balanced range of vitamins and minerals in order to be at its best. As hair follicles are specially adapted skin cells, the hair that grows from them can be significantly affected by a poor diet. As such, even a mild case of malnutrition can make conditions that involve the thinning or complete loss of one’s hair worse.

Key Nutrients For A Healthy Head Of Hair
Although a fully balanced diet is necessary for preserving general health, there are specific nutrients whose absence from the diet can have a damaging impact on one’s hair. Protein is vital, as it is used by hair follicles to produce the material that composes the hair shaft itself – keratin – in addition to being the fundamental building block of all cells. Vitamins E, B6, B12, Biotin and folic acid all boost the general growth of all cells in the body. A deficiency in Vitamin A may lead to a dry scalp, while a lack of Vitamin C in the diet can cause hair loss, breakage, and split ends. Minerals such as zinc, iron, and silica are all important for maintaining a healthy scalp, and methylsulfonylmethane – a naturally occurring source of sulphur – can increase the length to which hair grows before it is shed by increasing the growth phase.

Hair Vitalics – A Nutritious Blend
A balanced, healthy diet should provide you with these basic nutrients, but your individual metabolism and circumstances may make it difficult for you to get all of the nutrients your hair needs – which can curb the effectiveness of anti-hair loss medications like Propecia and Minoxidil. That’s why The Belgravia Centre offers Hair Vitalics; a broad spectrum daily supplement that combines plant extracts such as Saw Palmetto, along with vitamins and minerals that can boost the health of your scalp, and thus the thickness and coverage of your hair (when used in conjunction with scientifically-proven medical treatments).

Part Of A Combined Approach
Supplements are not – in and of themselves – able to treat most conditions that lead to hair loss. However, the substances they contain are vital for the body’s continued well-being  and as such when they are used as part of a broader treatment programme, they can lead to quite staggering results – boosting the effectiveness of scientifically proven drugs by increasing the ability of hair follicles to produce new, strong and healthy hair.

DID YOU KNOW – HEAD LICE IS CAUSE HAIR LOSS

Lice are tiny insects that live on humans and feed on blood.  The lice is commonly found in small children as opposed to adults.  When a large number of lice live and multiply on a person, it is called an infestation. However you still ought to be wary because they can crawl and / or jump on top of your head, particularly when you are close contact with someone highly infected. Lice spread easily from one person to another through close contact or through shared clothing or personal item (such as hats or hairbrushes).  A louse cannot jump or fly.

The common symptom of lice is itching.  There are different symptoms depending on which type of lice you have. Lice are spread primarily by direct, head to head contact with an infested individual.  Indirect spread through share of personal items such combs, brushes, barrettes, hats, scarves, jackets, blankets, sheets and pillows is less likely but possible.

Using magnifying glass and natural light, carefully examine hair scalp sideburns eyebrows, beards and mustaches of all household members for lice and their eggs, called  nits.  Nits which are yellowish which in color and oval shaped, can be easier to locate than lice.  Nits are glued to the side of the hair shaft and can be found throughout the hair, especially at the back of the neck, behind the ears, and at the top of the head.  Don not confuse nits with dandruff or hair casts (material from the hair follicles).  Unilike a nit, dandruff can be flicked or blown out of the hair and hair casts can slide easily along the hair shaft. 

Tip:

Parents will be informed if there has been reported incidents of head lice in your child’s class.

In an effort to stop them from spreading, we would be grateful if you would carefully check

Your chilc’s hair.  If any lice or eggs are found, please follow these 3 steps at least every 3 days for 2 weeks.

Washthe hair – any shampoo will do

This makes the hair slippery and tangle free

Use a head lice comb – start each stroke as close to the scalp as possible.

Ensure you remove any lice/eggs caught in the comb after each stroke and once the whole head of hair has been thoroughly combed, rinse the hair.

Please note, you will have to treat the whole family.

Our school nurse would be happy to check your child/s hair on your requests.
