Friday Fun: April Flowers and Sunshine

I enjoy being creative when I do hairstyles for my friends' kids. I always tell them that it is one of my stress release mechanism.  Here are a couple of my favorite designs:

Sunshine

I remember the first time I braided my daughter's hair, she was about 5 months old. The style lasted.....for  10 mins.  Yes! 10 mins!

Can Fibroid affect Hair Growth?

Image
  Yes, uterine fibroids can indirectly affect hair growth, though the connection is complex and not direct. Fibroids themselves do not cause hair loss or changes in hair growth, but the hormonal imbalances and symptoms associated with them can influence hair health. Here’s how: 1. Hormonal Imbalance : Fibroids are often linked to an excess of estrogen or an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. Hormones play a critical role in the hair growth cycle, and an imbalance can lead to thinning hair, slower growth, or hair loss. 2. Iron Deficiency (Anemia) : Heavy menstrual bleeding, a common symptom of fibroids, can lead to iron deficiency anemia.

Can Hard Water Cause Dandruff?

Image
Hard water itself doesn’t directly cause dandruff, but it can contribute to scalp issues that may make dandruff worse.  Here’s how: đź”…Mineral Buildup: Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave residue on your scalp and hair. This buildup can irritate the scalp, making it dry and flaky. đź”…Dryness: The minerals in hard water can strip natural oils from the scalp, leading to dryness—a key factor in dandruff. đź”…Hair Product Residue: Hard water makes it harder to rinse out shampoo and conditioner, leading to buildup, which can contribute to an unhealthy scalp. đź”…Irritation: Hard water may worsen sensitivity or irritation for those already prone to dandruff, especially if they have seborrheic dermatitis (a common cause of dandruff). To minimize the effects of hard water: • Use a clarifying shampoo to remove mineral buildup. • Install a water softener or use a shower filter. • Rinse your hair with distilled or filtered water after ...
