LICE, NITS & WORRIES: WHAT TO DO?

by Leave a Comment

When lice invade the scalp of our adorable blond heads, we must act and quickly!

Lice are the anguish of parents as well as the terror of children. But before explaining the why and how, it is important to remember this; no, the little parasite does not wait until the start of the school year to swarm happily in the hair of children (as well as adults). Indeed, there are places that, encouraged by certain promiscuity, favor the parasite’s appearance, but these are not only concentrated in the school environment! Here is a snub to preconceived ideas to introduce the subject as it should.

The history of the louse

The discovery of the louse goes back several centuries. It even seems that this small parasite has also turned the hair life of prehistoric people and other mammals upside down. Before 1850, the louse enjoyed a good reputation since its presence was perceived as beneficial. It was, therefore, customary to remove lice from a person without any hatred towards them. Indeed, they were the promise of luck and healing.

It was, therefore, in 1850 that everything changed for the louse. The deployment of insecticides gives rise to a radically different judgment in humans. The louse is then considered dirty, a carrier of diseases. Its status as a lucky charm is more akin to that of an ominous bird. Over the years, this unwanted fungus has managed to adapt to the nature of his host to the point that it has become difficult to get rid of it.

But concretely, what is a louse?

The louse belongs to the family of parasites. Its scientific name (and a bit complicated to pronounce) is Pediculus humanus. Its sole purpose is to colonize the scalp of its host by laying its eggs there. As for its appearance, it sports a grayish color and measures between 2 and 4mm. Its lifespan does not exceed four weeks, which is why it needs to reproduce as quickly as possible.

 How does the appearance of lice manifest?

You feel very itchy on the scalp, behind the ears, and on the back of your neck. These tickles are the result of micro-lesions that can become infected. However, the presence of these tiny parasites does not cause any health problems.

When are the best times for louse transmission?

There are many occasions for the louse to infest your scalp: summer camps and camps, sports clubs, wearing clothes that don’t belong to us, etc. In short, when you come into direct contact with a person carrying the parasite.

Is there an effective way to eradicate this parasite?

Generally, treatment for lice is often a long and challenging job. There is always a risk of retransmission, whether through clothing or otherwise.

The Hair Center offers a treatment whose name “Zero Poux” echoes its effectiveness. In fact, in just one application, you can say, “Good luck!” To this unwanted. What’s more, the product is 100% natural, hypoallergenic, and above all, silicone-free!

SEASONAL HAIR LOSS: WHEN TO REACT?

At certain times of the year, the hair condition changes, and therefore the hair falls out more. This is called seasonal hair loss.

How do spring and fall increase hair loss?

The climate differs according to the seasons: the light sometimes becomes more intense, sometimes softer, and the temperature varies. This change has a direct influence on hormonal secretions (hormones). These secretions act on capillary growth, which accelerates greatly. The hair then experiences a premature end of life. All these changes inevitably cause significant hair loss.

How do you recognize seasonal hair loss?

As a reminder, an individual loses on average 50 to 100 hairs per day. Beyond this number, it is a question of alopecia, the type of which must be determined by a specialist.

Hair loss becomes more intense in the spring and fall. Generally, the hair loss associated with the change of season lasts a maximum of two to three months. During this time, it is customary to reach a peak of 150 hairs lost in one day. If this continues after three months, then the nature of the problem is pathological.

What are the right things to do to limit hair loss?

If you want to prevent the damage that can cause hair loss linked to the seasonal change, it is essential to consult a professional who will give you the best advice to face the hair disruptions caused by the change of season.

THE MANY VIRTUES OF SWEET ALMOND OIL

by Leave a Comment

Sweet almond oil, native to Asia and the Middle East and used by the Romans as a beauty product, has many virtues.

Beauty:

It is recommended for dry skin and babies for its moisturizing side. It is also softening, nourishing, fortifying, soothing and refreshing. Sweet almond oil is often used in homemade beauty products.

It relieves the baby’s buttocks (be careful of the risk of allergies) and protects your face from climatic aggressions (wind, cold, etc.).

It is also the ally of pregnant women to prevent stretch marks throughout pregnancy.

Hair:

Just like the skin, sweet almond oil nourishes dry hair and prevents the appearance of dandruff. It can be used in massage on dry ends or the scalp.

Health:

Sweet almond oil can be consumed at a rate of 5 to 10ml per day to avoid specific health problems such as urinary problems, cholesterol, bronchitis, or dry coughs.

It also has laxative, deworming, expectorant, anti-sterile, and antiemetic properties.

Cooking:

Some sweet almond oils can also be eaten as a seasoning for raw vegetables and other dishes, but be careful; this is not the case with all sweet almond oils. Most are for external use only.

With its many virtues, sweet almond oil is aimed at a broad audience. There are several kinds, some intended for a specific use, others being organic.

PROTECT YOUR HAIR FROM THE SUN!

Of course, your hair is not at risk of “cancer,” it’s all about aesthetics, but everyone wants healthy hair.

UV rays weaken hair and make it dull; it loses elasticity and color. They are also attacked by chlorine, sea salt, wind, and repeated shampooing.

We advise you to use hair sun protection, that is to say, treatment with a UV filter.

Note that the René Furterer laboratories have created a specific hair protection index, the KPF index – Keratin Protection Factor – it indicates the percentage of protection of keratin, an essential constituent of hair.

SHEA BUTTER: ALL ITS BENEFITS!

Shea butter is extracted from the shea tree’s fruit; it is an organic product by nature because the tree from which it is extracted grows only in the wild. It is therefore often certified Organic Cosmetics. Shea butter is used in cosmetics; it is part of many cosmetic products for the hair and the body.

Three essential virtues

– suppleness & vitality

– hydration & satin effect

– protection against the cold and the sun

Shea butter can be used:

– for the body and face, it is a moisturizer for the skin that restores radiance and vitality,

It is a powerful conditioner; it nourishes the hair’s keratin and gives suppleness and shine to the hair. It is ideal as a mask for the hair.

– it is also a sublime lip gloss ideal for chapped lips.

It is also found in the composition of various products in hand creams, shampoos, lip balms, shower gels, body balms, etc.

The Labo Cosprophar laboratory is a Swiss laboratory registered in 1989 whose products are patented (Swiss patent, European patent, American patent). Their mission is “to devote significant investments in research to formulate – and patent – special, innovative cosmetic products offering real results to consumers.”

One thing is sure; the results are not disappointing!

This laboratory has two ranges: Crescina and Laboïna Stem.

The Crescent range comes in ampoules and shampoo for men and women; it is recommended for people suffering from androgenetic alopecia and effluvium. It promotes hair regrowth and stops hair loss. 

The Laboïna Stem range is the new generation of preparations for reducing expression lines, especially all facial lines. In Laboïna Stem care for expression lines, the discovery of the potential of Active Plant Stem Cells is a real leap forward that guarantees excellent product efficacy. Their action can improve the results of the treatment, particularly in terms of the reduction of wrinkles. 

An indisputable advantage: the results! Rapid effectiveness on hair regrowth for the Crescina range and deep action on all wrinkles for the Laboïna Stem range.

BACK TO SCHOOL IS ALSO BACK TO SCHOOL FOR LICE

It’s back to school, but also back to school for lice! Taking advantage of the outings outside and the still mild temperatures, the start of the school year is a good godsend for them!

Small reminder: hair lice are parasites of humans exclusively. So nothing to do with crabs or animal fleas. They feed on their host’s blood 3-5 times a day, causing the itching. During its life, the female louse can lay a hundred eggs, the nits, which attach themselves to the hair and give birth, after 8 to 10 days, to a larva which will also feed on blood. This larva will develop into an adult louse in 18 days.

The most characteristic sign of pediculosis – the name given to contamination by lice – is the presence of itching.

From the first signs, it is better to act because it is, above all, necessary to limit their colonization to children and adults in contact. Its lifespan is still one month, so if no action is taken, it has time to multiply and spread both among its host and among its friends. Since it does not jump (and no!) And does not fly; it is transmitted by direct contact or through clothing, sheets, and other textiles that children can exchange.

There are emergency treatments to eliminate lice, but also preventive care to prevent them from settling on your heads or those of your children.

The ITEM Dermatology laboratory has these two types of care:

In prevention, the 2 in 1 balm, thanks to its combination of essential oils and detangling agents, allows to take off the dead nits clinging to the hair and ward off lice by its repellent effect to avoid reinfestation of the scalp.

It is used as a conditioner, with which a fine comb is provided.

In treatment, KO Poux Gel-Cream eliminates lice by asphyxiation. Coconut oil, dimethicone, petrolatum oil, and beeswax suffocate lice by a combined enveloping action; lice die from asphyxiation and dehydration.

The nutritious gel-cream form prevents spattering on application and leaves hair soft, shiny, and easy to comb. A fine comb is provided with this care.

SAY STOP TO LICE

It is done by direct contact with an already infected person and especially with bedding, clothes, in public transport, at school, in the nursery, the louse feeds on blood, it clings to the hair and lives about one month, it dries quickly as soon as it leaves the head. Females lay nits that hatch every 7-10 days.

It is sometimes difficult to identify the presence of lice, although there is an intense itching in the “hot” spots (top of the neck, side of the head, etc.). To check for contamination, wet the hair and comb with very tight teeth comb the hair strand by strand. If there are, you will find small “insects” of brownish or grayish color; if there are nits, they look like tiny white “bags” stuck to the base of the hair.

How to get rid of lice?

An effective insecticide product must be used, following the instructions in the package leaflet, which will be used one week after the first application. In addition, the hair is combed strand by strand to eliminate lice and nits.

HOME COLORING

While 60% of women color their hair, have you tried home coloring? Whether you have white hair or want a drastic change of color, permanent hair color is for you.

Home coloring is an economical method; here are some tips for successful coloring.

Beware of color charts on a white base; the color will always be lighter than the result you get.

It is necessary to follow the indications of the notice by insisting well on the roots and by lengthening towards the lengths.

Rinsing is a crucial step; add water to the mixture and knead to boost penetration; add water again and start over. Rinse with boiling water and in the last rinsing water, use a handful of coarse salt to relieve the most sensitive scalps.

After rinsing, do not forget to use the care provided with the box; it allows fixing the color and regenerating the hair fiber weakened by oxidation.

Tips: Prefer coloring on dirty hair to keep the hair’s protective sebum. And we test 48 hours before application to avoid an allergy.

OUST THE LICE!

Little Chinese proverb: ” Looking for lice in others, they end up itching you!” “

You will understand that today we will not discuss chic and shocking or glamorous products but will evoke the little inhabitants who adore the heads of our dear children and hasten to colonize our family as long as we do not. Take no notice.

For thrill-seekers, a little internet search by image will show you in detail the countenance of this bloodsucker on our skulls, and you will understand that it is essential to treat this infection.

The infestation by lice, these dreadful parasites, has nothing to do with a lack of hygiene. They can neither fly nor jump but are exchanged by simple contact of the hair, formulas of prevention exist, we will quote for example:

 

The essential oil of lavender and essential oil of tea tree is compelling thanks to their antiparasitic and insecticidal action. The homemade recipe: Mix three drops of each oil and apply the mixture behind the ears and at the base of the neck.

If, however, you are unfortunately infested by these undesirable ones, forget the BAO (word of mouth) or FIF (Crazy Internet Forums) remedies and go for practical, recognized, healthy, and above all laboratory tested and hypoallergenic products. Please note that these products are to be used only when live lice or nits are seen or detected, for example, using an anti-lice comb. Check the following areas carefully: back of the neck and behind the ears.

In this case, treat the house and the bedding without forgetting the headrests of the car with specific environmental products:

HOW TO FIX SPLIT ENDS?

Sun and hair don’t mix!

In summer, hair tends to be rough. Sun, sand, and salt, from the first exposure, the hair fiber weakens.

So to avoid the straw effect, we must take care of it as much as we take care of our skin by moisturizing it after the shower or a day at the beach. The new Klorane routine protects against UV (UVA + UVA), anti-salt, sand, and chlorine!

Ylang-Ylang, absolute protection against external aggressions

The Ylang-Ylang flower is harvested in the heart of the Indian Ocean, precisely on the island of Anjouan in Comoros. If its essential oil with a captivating scent is very well known in perfumery, it is the wax that protects it that caught the expert eye of botanists from Klorane laboratories. Applied to the hair, the latter offers complete protection.

I TAKE CARE OF MY HAIR IN THE SUMMER

Summer vacations are not easy for my hair. My hair is struggling a lot between sunbathing, swimming in saltwater, diving in chlorinated water, and so on. That’s when I find myself with a dry mop at the start of the school year. Follow my advice to overcome this concern and have mermaid hair even when you return from vacation.

 

Just as it dehydrates our skin, the sun also dehydrates our hair. It discolors them and dries them under the combined effect of the sun’s rays and salt or chlorine, creating a magnifying effect and thus accelerate the dehydration process.

Good reflexes:

Spreading sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays makes it easier to think about it. But, we often forget our hair which takes the full brunt of the sun. For some time now, oils have been slipping into all our beauty products. They hydrate the hair and make it shinier. 

So before exposing yourself, do not hesitate to use them in small quantities on the lengths and ends to form a protective barrier. When you get back from the beach, wash your hair with a mild and nourishing shampoo. Like me, fall for the shampoos specially designed to be used after sun exposure. Like PHYTOPLAGE REHYDRATING AFTER-SUN SHAMPOO 200ML. This creamy gel gently foams to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. The hair regains flexibility and shine. The little extra it can also be used on the body in case you forgot your shower gel.

Let your hair breathe.

Your hair is already suffering enough from the heat from the outside, so don’t add hairdryer angst to it. Let your hair air-dry, and above all, avoid straightening them. The fashion is for the “Wavy” effect, that is to say, pretty waves like coming back from the beach, so this is the opportunity to let your hair breathe. They, too, need a vacation.

I TESTED FOR YOU… LEAVE-IN PHYTO SUPREME OIL

Phyto products respect the beauty of your hair by using natural ingredients from plants. Their wide range of products responds to all hair types and offers silicone and paraben-free care.

I tested for you the new Phyto Supreme leave-in oil for dry, thick, and unruly hair. 

This oil concentrates 99% of active ingredients of natural origin to nourish and discipline dehydrated and rebellious hair. It allows you to tame your hair by eliminating frizz: the brushing is controlled, and the curls are subtly redesigned. The hair is instantly softer and more radiant with beauty; the hair is regenerated and protected.

Personally, I found the bottle very elegant, reflecting a qualitative image of the product. The first time you spray, it gives off a familiar scent of essential oils. I love this very natural smell that makes my hair feel good.

I use this product after each shampoo on dry or towel-dried hair. The texture of the oil is not too greasy, which allows it to be applied correctly on each length and tip. This rich oil visibly hydrates my hair with the advantage of not weighing it down. Once styled, my hair is visibly silkier, and my ends are reshaped.

This product brings a touch of beauty to my hair, and I feel it lighter and softer. The advantage of this treatment is its ease of application: two sprays in the palm of my hand, and my hair is tamed! Phyto oil is a quality complement to my beauty routine, both pleasant to apply and visibly effective on my hair.

EMMA ON BRAZILIAN TIME

The soccer world cup starts this week, and my head is already in the Brazilian clouds. All this excitement inspired me with a tropical and colorful travel kit. From Copacabana to Ipanema, Brazil will make us dream this summer, so we might as well take the opportunity to get the trendy products of the season.

Brazilians are known to take care of their bodies all year round. Body worship is a national sport, and Brazilians claim it loud and clear. Brazilian women know how to take care of themselves by using natural products, often resulting from ancestral rituals. There is no need for flashy makeup, Brazilians count on a sparkling complexion, beautiful hair, and velvet skin to wow the gallery.
