Suffering from dandruff or split ends? Cut and Preserve

About 40% of men and 20% of women suffer from dandruff, with the main cause of hair loss being hereditary, but there are other factors such as stress, poor nutrition, and medication. Due to the widespread phenomenon, the field of hair transplantation has developed in recent years and has become particularly sought after by Israeli men with a need and awareness. "Maccabi Aesthetics" launches hair transplantation treatments performed with advanced methods, led by Dr. Najat Mrena.

There are two methods of hair transplantation: the FUE method - the most common in the world of hair transplantation today, based on manual channel opening and implanting follicles, and the DHI method - which does not require channel opening and shaving and is suitable and intended for thinning hair. Maccabi Aesthetics offers a 30% launch discount and a PRP treatment as a gift to insured members of the Maccabi network. For details: *6300 or on the Maccabi Aesthetics online website.

Another innovative treatment for hair thinning, more intended for women and less for dandruff conditions like in men, is hair injection. This is an advanced solution in which synthetic hair is implanted into the scalp using a special injector. The hair integrates homogeneously with the natural hair without affecting it. This is an Israeli breakthrough developed by Hairstetics that may change the rules of the game.

The average cost of treatment ranges from 15,000 to 25,000 shekels. Available at the clinic of Dr. Lehabit Akerman.

"Common issues such as dandruff, redness, or itching are often caused by an unbalanced scalp. Ravital Chadad, a senior marketing and business development manager at Moroccanoil, explains: "People who suffer from dandruff and many women after hair coloring in a salon tend to experience scalp irritation, and intense scratching can break their hair near the root.

Moroccanoil offers two treatments designed to balance the scalp: a restorative treatment for dry scalp – made from natural ingredients and essential oils, enriched with non-greasy fatty acids and vitamin E. It combats dryness, helps protect the scalp, provides moisture, and revitalizes the hair. And a treatment for oily scalp – containing essential oils with calming properties and enriched with non-greasy fatty acids and vitamin E, which help protect the scalp from dandruff caused by excess sebum and inflammation in the hair follicles. The treatment includes organic ginger root oil, which helps enhance blood flow to the scalp and stimulates the milk ducts."

The price for each treatment is 140 shekels for 45 ml. It can be purchased on the company's website as well as in stores and salons. Phone: 03-9511086.

The expert team of the Phil Eat brand, which includes food engineers, pharmacists, and nutritionists, has launched a dietary supplement that contains vital natural ingredients for improving hair health at high concentrations in the market. The currently marketed supplement by Dea iBrand has a unique patent that allows for more efficient absorption of all the supplement's components in the body. The ingredients are: collagen - a protein produced by the body and found mainly in the scalp, which nourishes and supports hair growth. Low levels of folic acid in the body can lead to a decrease and slowing of cell division and hinder the development of new cells. Biotin - plays an important role in maintaining the skin, nails, and hair. Biotin increases the flexibility of the hair fiber and prevents breakage.

A deficiency in biotin can cause hair to become brittle, look less healthy, and in extreme cases, lead to hair loss. Zinc - an essential mineral found in almost every cell in the body. Zinc is involved in key processes related to hair growth and is necessary for proper function of the sebaceous gland around the hair follicle. Vitamin B - a vital vitamin for the proper functioning of the nervous system, blood formation, and prevention of anemia.

Dry hair caused by winter damage such as dry air, wind, and rain, as well as frequent use of drying air conditioners in closed rooms, can harm the hair, requiring restoration. These are the golden tips we received from Dyson experts: do not leave the house with wet hair - wet hair is weaker. Using a quality hair dryer can ease the damage to the hair, style it, achieve the desired look, and prevent weak hair for extended periods of time. It also dries the hair using controlled airflow and helps protect the hair. Tangle less: in cold weather, the scalp may dry out and itch. Shampoo can remove the natural oils that help maintain scalp moisture, so moderate use of shampoo or reducing brushing frequency can help prevent this.

Static electricity: Static electricity is more common in cold seasons when the air is dry and humidity is low, as is excessive hair drying. It is recommended to avoid using plastic hairbrushes that can cause static electricity buildup and instead use a hair dryer with controlled airflow. Such is the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, which comes with the flyaway styling attachment that neutralizes static electricity and provides uniform and shiny styling using air.

Recommended consumer price: 1,850 shekels. Available on the brand's website and selected electronics stores.

Asaf Zar, owner of the cosmetics and hair care company REBORN, suggests adopting 3 principles and habits for maintaining healthy, full, and strong hair: For quality cleansing and preventing hair loss - use sulfate-free and salt-free shampoo to preserve the ability of hair follicles to produce important natural oils for hair and scalp nourishment.

Shampoos containing sulfates (SLS) can lead to redness, dryness, dandruff, and hair loss. Avoid tight hairstyles that can cause pressure leading to hair loss. Replace hair ties with cotton, silk, or satin fabrics to reduce friction during sleep. For a healthy appearance - limit the use of hot styling tools such as curling irons, hair straighteners, etc. Prior to use, apply a protective spray to minimize damage. Rinse the hair with lukewarm or cool water (hot water contributes to dryness) and use a hair conditioner after shampooing.

Once a week, incorporate a moisturizing hair mask treatment to enhance moisture retention. For encouraging growth - regularly massage the scalp with fingertips in circular motions. This massage stimulates blood flow, which can promote hair growth. If you suffer from hair loss and thinning, enrich the scalp daily with a few drops of castor oil, derived from the seeds of the castor tree, which scientific research has shown to assist and encourage hair growth.

Hair designers Phil & Joe, ambassadors of Kerastase and L'Oréal Professionnel, claim that the choice of materials is important for a healthy hair appearance: shampoo, mask, and serum/thermal protector before any heat treatment with a straightener or curling iron will do the job. They emphasize that each hair has its own texture, and what suits one may not necessarily suit another. When we asked for their golden advice, they stressed the following:

Trimming the ends - trimming the ends every two months prevents split ends, thinning hair at the ends, and breakage.

Protection from blow dryers - as the use of hair dryers and styling tools increases in the winter, it is important to protect the hair and use a spray or cream protection on damp hair before drying to prevent hair breakage and minimize accumulated damage.

Repairing sun damage - during the winter season, when summer is behind us and the effects of the sun are noticeable on our heads, it is recommended to use shampoos and masks that contain ceramides, oils, and wheat that will restore the hair fibers' protective layer. It is also advised to use salt-free shampoos and avoid excessive heat styling to prevent hair breakage or burning. It is recommended to moisturize and nourish the hair using hair conditioners, masks, oils, and serums.

According to the hair experts of the Vichy brand, hair loss is a natural process that encourages hair renewal from the scalp, but it becomes a problem when it is excessive and unbalanced. Approximately 90% of the hair on a healthy scalp is supposed to be in the growth stage, while 10% is supposed to be in the shedding stage. This means that shedding around 100 hairs per day is considered normal. The main factors contributing to unbalanced hair loss, in addition to poor nutrition and genetic characteristics, can also be stress, illness, pregnancy, childbirth, and hormonal changes during menopause in women.

These are the leading tips from hair experts Vishi: Brush twice - a clean hair and healthy scalp will make the hair look shinier and healthier. If your hair is exposed to a lot of water, chlorine, or sun - I recommend using nourishing products and shampoos that will provide the necessary protection for the hair, making it look nicer and also protecting it from dryness and breakage.

Consult a dermatologist - in any case of hair loss or scalp problem, it is important to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and clarification that will lead to an effective and tailored solution. There are many diverse solutions today, such as nourishing products, growth stimulating products, vitamins, and even scalp injections. Small tip from the East - place the fingertips on the scalp and gently move the scalp for a few minutes. At the end of the process, you will feel "tingling" which indicates proper functioning and increased blood flow to the scalp.
