Why fine hair loses its volume so quickly?
Fine hair loses its volume very quickly after shampooing and styling and seems to lack in strength. This is because each individual fine hair is about one third smaller in diameter in comparison with normal hair. In addition the hair is fragile in structure. This results in the hair not having enough strength to hold a style in place, and the hairstyle quickly loses volume. Fine hair therefore needs products whish strengthen the hair and stabilize its structure.

Why is it absolutely essential to treat damaged hair?

It is the only wearable treatment with nine ingredients to help repair damaged hair while building in style. Sebastian Originals hair care products are really effective and worth to try.

What are the causes of hair damage?
Mechanical causes:
Poor quality combs, brushes, scissors, and hair ornaments, can all cause mechanical damage to the hair. This roughens the protective cuticle layer, which then break away, with split end often being the result.
Chemical causes: Inexpert colouring, bleach or perming treatments can damage the inner structure of the hair.
UV rays can penetrate deep inside the hair and damage the inner hair structure.
These factors can lead to both the internal and external structure of the hair being affected:
External: the cuticle layer gets roughened and damaged.
Hair loses shine and is difficult to comb.
Internal: tears and breaks appear in the hair fibre. Hair becomes porous, loses its elasticity and tends to lead to hair breakage. Sebastian Penetraitt hair care range is a reconstructive, colour safe formula that is enriched with wheat and soy proteins to repair and restore strength to damaged hair from the inside. With an incredible protein-injected formula it will also help to restore elasticity, shine and condition.

Why is moisture so important for healthy hair?
The basis of healthy hair is its moisture content.
It determines hair characteristics such as elasticity, its shape, and how easy it is to style. But hair moisture content can vary considerably depending on various other factors. Hair is actually hygroscopic, which means that it can absorb water molecules from moist air, and it can also release them. The proportion of hair’s weight which is water varies between about 10% ( dry heated hair) and 30% (mist sauna). When the hair is dried, in the sun, or when the hair humidity is low, the water the water which evaporates is not only the molecules on the outside of the hair, but also some of the water contained inside the hair.
As a result the hair moisture content falls, the hair loses elasticity, feels rough and eventually breaks.

What are the causes of too little moisture?
Hair can tend to be very dry because of various influencing factors.
If the sebaceous glands are under active, the hair loses its protective lipid film, leads to a loss of moisture.
Sun or sun beds, dry sauna areas and over frequent use of blow dryers can all dry the hair out.
Chlorine and salt sea water takes moisture out of the hair which is subjected to very frequent shampooing, blow-drying and styling also tend to be dry.
Even normal hair, but particularly dry hair needs hair care which maintains the moisture content of the hair and protects against drying.

What are the causes of greasy scalp?
The sebaceous glands in our skin are distributed over our entire body, but on the scalp they are particularly large and plentiful. They produce sebum (grease) which gets on to the skin surface via the hair follicle aperture, turns into a thin liquid making it able to spread rapidly. Skin which gets greasy quickly arises when the sebaceous glands are overactive, and the flow of sebum is particularly high as result. We would then describe this as seborrhoea.
Many things that can cause this:
Disturbances in the hormone balance
Poor nutrition
Stress
Chemical and mechanical factors
Environmental factors
In order to stop the skin getting too greasy again too quickly, it needs a shampoo which is effective at absorbing the surplus grease, without irritating the skin or stimulating the sebaceous glands. Most importantly the scalp needs to be washed gently and not more then 2-3 times a week in order to avoid stimulating the sebaceous glands. For this problem use Wella SP Regulate Shampoo to Absorbs excess serum, gently and effectively cleanses the scalp without drying out the hair, leave hair with added volume and improved combability. Also apply Wella SP Regulate Mask, an Intensive treatment to absorb excess oil and refresh the scalp. Effective in slowing production of oil on the scalp, leaves hair with added volume and better combability. This hair care range is Ideal for frequent use.

How does sensitive skin develop?
Whenever skin shows a reaction, two conditions are fulfilled:
The substance with which the skin has been in contact contains a component that has irritating properties. This substance has penetrated the skin in a quantity that is sufficient to cause irritation. In people that show an inherited tendency to sensitive skin, very small quantities that would lead to no reaction whatsoever on normal skin, can result in great irritation. The exact way in which the skin develops is highly complex and is not yet fully understood. However, studies show that the contact with the irritating agent results in the release of biochemical substances within the skin, leading to a complicated chain reaction of symptoms.
Typical symptoms are:
Visibly red skin
Locally increased skin temperature
Increased permeability of the permeability barrier in both direction
Rough skin surface
Sensation of irritation

Can you tell me how to get rid of split ends?
Split ends are a problem generally diffused, especially for people who have naturally dry hair and scalp, and particularly who has long hair. Split ends happen when the protective cuticle is stripped away from the ends of hair fibers. This can often be the result of aggressive brushing and chemical treatment but also little care can often be the result. You can't really treat split ends but to cut them off regularly every 6 to 8 weeks avoiding over texturizing. This will also prevent the formation of new split ends. However, this is not always acceptable due to the destructive nature of the treatment, but if nothing is done about split ends, the hair will naturally get shorter and either drop off or continue to split backwards toward the scalp reducing the growth rate. You can cover them up temporarily with a good hair care conditioning and the right serum. Don't over wash with aggressive shampoo and don’t vigorously brush your hair every day. Try using a leave-in conditioner and possibly a styling product with UV protection to protect the hair from sun ray and heated drying and styling .To keep your hair healthy and to prevent split ends you should frequently use an hydrateding and nourishing shampoo and conditioner no more then 3 times a week and apply a treatment on your hair once a month (this is subject to assessment of hair condition and the directions can vary). A good method to apply a treatment is to massage the product in your hair and place a plastic cap over your head with all your hair inside. Then place a hot damp towel on top of the plastic cap and leave on there for 10 minutes or more. Afterward, rinse hair well with cold water. Even though you may be trying to grow your hair out it's extremely important to trim your hair regularly.

When do you start talking about hair loss?
A daily loss of about 80 top 100 hair is completely normal. These rates of hair loss vary substantially upwards or downwards over a short time. Changes in hair can for example be subject to variation with season of the year. If the number of hair being lost each day is significantly higher than the norm over a longer period of time, then one would have to start talking about hair loss.
A very good treatment for hair loss is the davines natural tech vitamin activist haiur care range.

What types of hair loss are there?
We can differentiate between reversible and irreversible forms of hair loss.
Reversible hair loss;
All reversible type of hair loss, with the exception of circular hair loss, is marked by a diffuse reduction in the amount of hair, varying between unnoticeable and significant.
Cause for this can be:
Long term stress
Pregnancy
Side effects of medication
Infections
External mechanical factors
Irreversible hair loss:
Androgenetic hair loss manifests itself in a change in the hair covering the head, form terminal hair into downy hair (vellus hair). This form of hair loss is caused by male hormones (androgens). Two most relevant androgens here are testosterone and its derivative, dihydrotestosterone. This is the main cause of Androgenetic hair loss.
It is also possible for women to suffer Androgenetic hair loss, although this is rare. Up until the onset of the menopause, it mostly manifests itself as diffuse thinning of hair in the area of the centre parting, and does not lead to total baldness, but almost always to a greater or lesser degree of obvious thinning of the amount of hair.

What is the best way of preventing hair loss?
Healthy hair grows out of a healthy scalp whose blood vessels are responsible for optimum nutrition of the hair root. In addition, substances can be applied to the surface of the scalp which will optimize
The healthy maintenance of hair and its growth, and thus can counteract hair loss and changes in hair.
A treatment promising success therefore requires:
Securing optimum blood circulation around the hair organ, for optimum blood circulation around the hair organ, for optimum supply of active ingredients.
Securing the addition of ingredients that are of particular importance for keratinisation (strengthening of the hair).
Defending the hair roots against factors which bring about hereditary hair loss.

What is alopecia?
Alopecia is a congenital or acquired alteration that leads to hair loss.
There are different forms of this problem.
Traumatic
Caused by mechanical forces. I.e. the sufferer pulls his/her hair out, by excessively aggressive cosmetic treatments, and by accidental trauma.
Scarring alopecia
A number of pathological processes can lead to the destruction of the follicle, where the hair grows (psoriasis).

Is there a remedy for dry hair and scalp?
Yes, but the right choice of product can make the different.
There are different factors that can make the hair dry: atmospheric agent exposure, excessive and unsuitable chemical treatments, heat from straightners, medicines, harsh detergents, hormonal imbalances, and dietary habits. These imbalances lead to the damage of the main hair protein, keratin, with the loss of essential properties such as elasticity, resistance and compactness. It is important to choose a product that contains proteins of the right form for the process of restoration of amino acids. All products based on lanolin, oils and other radar then proteins will not reconstruct or restore the hair conditions. Also a good diet, rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals will have an important function on the hair conditions. Mineral, amino acids and vitamin supplements are widely used nowadays. I suggest using supplements that are specific for hair in conjunction with moderate heat hair styling and chemical treatment and the following products:
For dry hair and scalp.
Davines Nourishing moisture remedy shampoo, cleanse and restructure dry hair and scalp
Davines Nourishing vegetarian miracle, add moisture and restructure dry hair in-depth
Davines Nourishing living enzyme infusion, to nourish and protect hair in-depth.
These products are quite effective however are not to be used on a normal scalp).

How can I make my hair shiny?
Shine is the reflection of light by the hair. Part of the light is reflected on the surface and another fraction is reflected inside the hair. The cuticle is the outer part of the hair; a featuring flat translucent cell that overlaps each other, creating a barrier that protects the hair and is responsible for the reflection of light on the hair giving the perception of shine. How? The light rays will touch the cuticle that if closed will then reflect that light to the eyes giving a healthy look, colour and shine. When this layer is damaged, with the presence of voids and high porosity, it will open resulting in loss of reflection, shine, smoothness and protection, often leading to split ends and deeper damages to the hair internally (breakage).
There are 2 steps to take in order to rebuilt the hair damaged parts and achieve more shine.

Directions:
• Apply on wet hair and scalp.
• Leave to act for 10-15 minutes with or without damp heat source.
• Remove by rinsing, and then shampooing with the second step products, Wella Sp Luminous hair care range.
Step 2:
Wella Sp Luminous is a tailor made shine treatment particularly good for adding intense shine for both light and dark hair, buy increasing the light reflection on the surface of the hair and reducing light diffusion buy making the inner structure denser, so the light diffusion is minimized and the hair has increased shine.
1. Wella SP Shine Care Luminous Shampoo Gently removes debris and dirt from hair while refining the surface of each hair strand.

I bought a conditioner how do I use it?
Contrary to deep treatments, conditioner is to be used every time you shampoo, approximately 3 times a week. After shampoo remove some excess of water (this will dilute the product) and apply from length to ends. Comb thought to promote the closing of the cuticle and rinse well after 2-3 min. conditioner is instant and does not necessarily need to be absorbed due to its formulation.
For stronger result try a hair mask
back to top
Is the use of a mask frequent?
No. Contrary to conditioner, the hair mask is a deep effect treatment with different result depending of the problem to cure. Masks are to be used twice or once a month and the application can vary depending of different products and the resulted wanted.
For deep results on very dry and damaged hair I suggest a weekly application for 4 weeks then alternate weeks for 4 weeks and thereafter, for the purpose of maintaining and continuing the beneficial effects apply the mask once a month. Due to its formulation, the mask is to be applied on towel dried hair to remove all the excess of water. Apply the product from length to ends in a good quantity and leave for 10 min. To enhance the effects I suggest the use of plastic cup to cover your hair and wrap around with a hot turban to accelerate the action. Be aware that, the excess of product left on the hair can lead to several problems: oily scalp, sense of heaviness, so rinse well preferably with cold water.
So masks have the appearance of not so soft hair. This is because the product is designed to work from the inside of hair reconstructing it! A fatty mask would probably make the hair temporary softer but the result will not be as long lasting and efficiently reconstructive as high grade products with concentration of essential ingredients. The product choice and directions are very important part for optimum results and a good check up can be given only by your expert. The use of unsuitable products can often only lead to unnecessary product build up.

Why fine hair loses its volume so quickly?
Fine hair loses its volume very quickly after shampooing and styling and seems to lack in strength. This is because each individual fine hair is about one third smaller in diameter in comparison with normal hair. In addition the hair is fragile in structure. This results in the hair not having enough strength to hold a style in place, and the hairstyle quickly loses volume. Fine hair therefore needs products whish strengthen the hair and stabilize its structure.

What are the causes of hair damage?
Mechanical causes:
Poor quality combs, brushes, scissors, and hair ornaments, can all cause mechanical damage to the hair. This roughens the protective cuticle layer, which then break away, with split end often being the result.
Chemical causes: Inexpert colouring, bleach or perming treatments can damage the inner structure of the hair.
UV rays can penetrate deep inside the hair and damage the inner hair structure.
These factors can lead to both the internal and external structure of the hair being affected:
External: the cuticle layer gets roughened and damaged.
Hair loses shine and is difficult to comb.
Internal: tears and breaks appear in the hair fibre. Hair becomes porous, loses its elasticity and tends to lead to hair breakage. Sebastian Penetraitt hair care range is a reconstructive, colour safe formula that is enriched with wheat and soy proteins to repair and restore strength to damaged hair from the inside. With an incredible protein-injected formula it will also help to restore elasticity, shine and condition.

Why is moisture so important for healthy hair?
The basis of healthy hair is its moisture content.
It determines hair characteristics such as elasticity, its shape, and how easy it is to style. But hair moisture content can vary considerably depending on various other factors. Hair is actually hygroscopic, which means that it can absorb water molecules from moist air, and it can also release them. The proportion of hair’s weight which is water varies between about 10% ( dry heated hair) and 30% (mist sauna). When the hair is dried, in the sun, or when the hair humidity is low, the water the water which evaporates is not only the molecules on the outside of the hair, but also some of the water contained inside the hair.
As a result the hair moisture content falls, the hair loses elasticity, feels rough and eventually breaks.

What are the causes of too little moisture?
Hair can tend to be very dry because of various influencing factors.
If the sebaceous glands are under active, the hair loses its protective lipid film, leads to a loss of moisture.
Sun or sun beds, dry sauna areas and over frequent use of blow dryers can all dry the hair out.
Chlorine and salt sea water takes moisture out of the hair which is subjected to very frequent shampooing, blow-drying and styling also tend to be dry.
Even normal hair, but particularly dry hair needs hair care which maintains the moisture content of the hair and protects against drying.

What are the causes of greasy scalp?
The sebaceous glands in our skin are distributed over our entire body, but on the scalp they are particularly large and plentiful. They produce sebum (grease) which gets on to the skin surface via the hair follicle aperture, turns into a thin liquid making it able to spread rapidly. Skin which gets greasy quickly arises when the sebaceous glands are overactive, and the flow of sebum is particularly high as result. We would then describe this as seborrhoea.
Many things that can cause this:
Disturbances in the hormone balance
Poor nutrition
Stress
Chemical and mechanical factors
Environmental factors
In order to stop the skin getting too greasy again too quickly, it needs a shampoo which is effective at absorbing the surplus grease, without irritating the skin or stimulating the sebaceous glands. Most importantly the scalp needs to be washed gently and not more then 2-3 times a week in order to avoid stimulating the sebaceous glands. For this problem use Wella SP Regulate Shampoo to Absorbs excess serum, gently and effectively cleanses the scalp without drying out the hair, leave hair with added volume and improved combability. Also apply Wella SP Regulate Mask, an Intensive treatment to absorb excess oil and refresh the scalp. Effective in slowing production of oil on the scalp, leaves hair with added volume and better combability. This hair care range is Ideal for frequent use.

How does sensitive skin develop?
Whenever skin shows a reaction, two conditions are fulfilled:
The substance with which the skin has been in contact contains a component that has irritating properties. This substance has penetrated the skin in a quantity that is sufficient to cause irritation. In people that show an inherited tendency to sensitive skin, very small quantities that would lead to no reaction whatsoever on normal skin, can result in great irritation. The exact way in which the skin develops is highly complex and is not yet fully understood. However, studies show that the contact with the irritating agent results in the release of biochemical substances within the skin, leading to a complicated chain reaction of symptoms.
Typical symptoms are:
Visibly red skin
Locally increased skin temperature
Increased permeability of the permeability barrier in both direction
Rough skin surface
Sensation of irritation

Can you tell me how to get rid of split ends?
Split ends are a problem generally diffused, especially for people who have naturally dry hair and scalp, and particularly who has long hair. Split ends happen when the protective cuticle is stripped away from the ends of hair fibers. This can often be the result of aggressive brushing and chemical treatment but also little care can often be the result. You can't really treat split ends but to cut them off regularly every 6 to 8 weeks avoiding over texturizing. This will also prevent the formation of new split ends. However, this is not always acceptable due to the destructive nature of the treatment, but if nothing is done about split ends, the hair will naturally get shorter and either drop off or continue to split backwards toward the scalp reducing the growth rate. You can cover them up temporarily with a good hair care conditioning and the right serum. Don't over wash with aggressive shampoo and don’t vigorously brush your hair every day. Try using a leave-in conditioner and possibly a styling product with UV protection to protect the hair from sun ray and heated drying and styling .To keep your hair healthy and to prevent split ends you should frequently use an hydrateding and nourishing shampoo and conditioner no more then 3 times a week and apply a treatment on your hair once a month (this is subject to assessment of hair condition and the directions can vary). A good method to apply a treatment is to massage the product in your hair and place a plastic cap over your head with all your hair inside. Then place a hot damp towel on top of the plastic cap and leave on there for 10 minutes or more. Afterward, rinse hair well with cold water. Even though you may be trying to grow your hair out it's extremely important to trim your hair regularly.

When do you start talking about hair loss?
A daily loss of about 80 top 100 hair is completely normal. These rates of hair loss vary substantially upwards or downwards over a short time. Changes in hair can for example be subject to variation with season of the year. If the number of hair being lost each day is significantly higher than the norm over a longer period of time, then one would have to start talking about hair loss.

What types of hair loss are there?
We can differentiate between reversible and irreversible forms of hair loss.
Reversible hair loss;
All reversible type of hair loss, with the exception of circular hair loss, is marked by a diffuse reduction in the amount of hair, varying between unnoticeable and significant.
Cause for this can be:
Long term stress
Pregnancy
Side effects of medication
Infections
External mechanical factors
Irreversible hair loss:
Androgenetic hair loss manifests itself in a change in the hair covering the head, form terminal hair into downy hair (vellus hair). This form of hair loss is caused by male hormones (androgens). Two most relevant androgens here are testosterone and its derivative, dihydrotestosterone. This is the main cause of Androgenetic hair loss.
It is also possible for women to suffer Androgenetic hair loss, although this is rare. Up until the onset of the menopause, it mostly manifests itself as diffuse thinning of hair in the area of the centre parting, and does not lead to total baldness, but almost always to a greater or lesser degree of obvious thinning of the amount of hair.

What is the best way of preventing hair loss?
Healthy hair grows out of a healthy scalp whose blood vessels are responsible for optimum nutrition of the hair root. In addition, substances can be applied to the surface of the scalp which will optimize
The healthy maintenance of hair and its growth, and thus can counteract hair loss and changes in hair.
A treatment promising success therefore requires:
Securing optimum blood circulation around the hair organ, for optimum blood circulation around the hair organ, for optimum supply of active ingredients.
Securing the addition of ingredients that are of particular importance for keratinisation (strengthening of the hair).
Defending the hair roots against factors which bring about hereditary hair loss.

Is there a remedy for dry hair and scalp?
Yes, but the right choice of product can make the different.
There are different factors that can make the hair dry: atmospheric agent exposure, excessive and unsuitable chemical treatments, heat from straightners, medicines, harsh detergents, hormonal imbalances, and dietary habits. These imbalances lead to the damage of the main hair protein, keratin, with the loss of essential properties such as elasticity, resistance and compactness. It is important to choose a product that contains proteins of the right form for the process of restoration of amino acids. All products based on lanolin, oils and other radar then proteins will not reconstruct or restore the hair conditions. Also a good diet, rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals will have an important function on the hair conditions. Mineral, amino acids and vitamin supplements are widely used nowadays. I suggest using supplements that are specific for hair in conjunction with moderate heat hair styling and chemical treatment and the following products:
For dry hair and scalp.
Davines Nourishing moisture remedy shampoo, cleanse and restructure dry hair and scalp
Davines Nourishing vegetarian miracle, add moisture and restructure dry hair in-depth
Davines Nourishing living enzyme infusion, to nourish and protect hair in-depth.
These products are quite effective however are not to be used on a normal scalp).

How can I make my hair shiny?
Shine is the reflection of light by the hair. Part of the light is reflected on the surface and another fraction is reflected inside the hair. The cuticle is the outer part of the hair; a featuring flat translucent cell that overlaps each other, creating a barrier that protects the hair and is responsible for the reflection of light on the hair giving the perception of shine. How? The light rays will touch the cuticle that if closed will then reflect that light to the eyes giving a healthy look, colour and shine. When this layer is damaged, with the presence of voids and high porosity, it will open resulting in loss of reflection, shine, smoothness and protection, often leading to split ends and deeper damages to the hair internally (breakage).
There are 2 steps to take in order to rebuilt the hair damaged parts and achieve more shine.

Directions:
• Apply on wet hair and scalp.
• Leave to act for 10-15 minutes with or without damp heat source.
• Remove by rinsing, and then shampooing with the second step products, Wella Sp Luminous hair care range.
Step 2:
Wella Sp Luminous is a tailor made shine treatment particularly good for adding intense shine for both light and dark hair, buy increasing the light reflection on the surface of the hair and reducing light diffusion buy making the inner structure denser, so the light diffusion is minimized and the hair has increased shine.

I bought a conditioner how do I use it?
Contrary to deep treatments, conditioner is to be used every time you shampoo, approximately 3 times a week. After shampoo remove some excess of water (this will dilute the product) and apply from length to ends. Comb thought to promote the closing of the cuticle and rinse well after 2-3 min. conditioner is instant and does not necessarily need to be absorbed due to its formulation.
For stronger result try a hair mask
back to top
Is the use of a mask frequent?
No. Contrary to conditioner, the hair mask is a deep effect treatment with different result depending of the problem to cure. Masks are to be used twice or once a month and the application can vary depending of different products and the resulted wanted.
For deep results on very dry and damaged hair I suggest a weekly application for 4 weeks then alternate weeks for 4 weeks and thereafter, for the purpose of maintaining and continuing the beneficial effects apply the mask once a month. Due to its formulation, the mask is to be applied on towel dried hair to remove all the excess of water. Apply the product from length to ends in a good quantity and leave for 10 min. To enhance the effects I suggest the use of plastic cup to cover your hair and wrap around with a hot turban to accelerate the action. Be aware that, the excess of product left on the hair can lead to several problems: oily scalp, sense of heaviness, so rinse well preferably with cold water.
So masks have the appearance of not so soft hair. This is because the product is designed to work from the inside of hair reconstructing it! A fatty mask would probably make the hair temporary softer but the result will not be as long lasting and efficiently reconstructive as high grade products with concentration of essential ingredients. The product choice and directions are very important part for optimum results and a good check up can be given only by your expert. The use of unsuitable products can often only lead to unnecessary product build up.

What is dandruff?
The surface cells of our skin follow a natural process where dead cell are sloughed off daily. When this process speeds up dandruff occurs, leading to problems of aesthetics and hygiene. The factors that influence the appearance of dandruff can be internal, hormonal alteration, diet too rich in animal fats, stress, and external, atmospheric pollution, wrong use of product, and aggressive use of chemicals. In the past I have always noticed that the main problem for dandruff is heavy stress.
Do not wear caps often, so to help scalp perspiration.
There are two type of dandruff, dry and greasy.
Dry dandruff, futures white, dry, thin flakes that come away from the scalp, with limited inflammation.
Greasy dandruff, future bigger flakes of yellow colour in combination with abrasion and itching. Usually these flakes are attached to the scalp by the considerable greasiness and can be accompanied by hair loss. This problem is more linked to seborrhoea.
Products to use are:
Davines Purifying anti-dandruff shampoo, to tackle dandruff problems.
Davines Purifying anti-dandruff gel, to control the dandruff.
Cause of dandruff
Because of lower moisture levels in the hair in the winter months, the moisture level in the hornie layer of the skin may be reduced, which can lead to increased drying out of the scalp, as well as sensitive reactions, feelings of tenseness, and itchy scalp.
Psoriasis
Inflamed, strongly marked skin areas with relatively large, silvery white, clinging scales.
