Are the Chemicals In Your Hair Products Damaging Your Hair?Men and women suffering from hair loss should avoid hair products made from damaging chemicals and toxins.It seems no one is satisfied with the hair he or she was born with, so we spend countless hours coloring, relaxing, perming and changing it in every way imaginable. However, the chemicals in your hair products could be doing some serious damage, especially if you are already suffering from hair loss or thinning hair. Maybe it's time to make the switch to all-natural hair products.Chemicals in hair productsChemicals are found in almost every type of hair product: relaxers, hair dyes, hair extension adhesives, and even many shampoos and conditioners. These chemicals can cause immediate damage -- such as when a relaxer, bleach or hair color is used improperly or kept on the hair for too long.There are several circumstances that produce a "shock to the system" that alters the hair growth rhythm. When hair loss is a side effect of a medication, hair growth usually returns to normal once the drug is stopped. The trigger for this type of baldness (called androgenetic alopecia) is DHT, a powerful sex hormone, body, and facial hair growth promoter that can adversely affect the hair on the head as well as the prostate. Fifty milligrams of silica a day is thought to encourage hair growth in young men with alopecia. Copper and zinc have been shown to inhibit growth of the enzyme that causes DHT production.
