Rebonding
-
maisy:
I hv lotsa white hair too. My parents have lotsa white hair, so must be in the genes. I only heard of DRY HAIR due to colouring, not oily hair. Could it be yr diet or did u use a new shampoo??
Do u ladies feel that post-pregnancy suddenly lotsa white hair \"sprucing all over\" ??? I somehow feel the post -pregnancy effect kinda \"fertilises the white hair roots\" .. urgh !!! Cos for me, pre-pregnancy only 1 or 2 strands....but post-pregnancy, i can't even count how many strands! ! !
So i resorted to colouring recently - once beginning last year..the other late last year...and i realise the colouring resulted in me having \"v oily hair\" ! ! ! In the past , my habit is always washing my hair once a day every morning....and cos i wash everyday in the morning, i don't experience \"oily hair\" but eversince i started colouring my hair, my hair cannot last for a day ... eg if i wash my hair in the morning ... by evening time, must wash again cos oily ! ! ! ie twice a day.... How ????
Anyone experience \"oily hair due to colouring\" ? -
Instead of rebonding, my hairstylist recommends \"soft straight\". Apparently, it's like rebonding, except that the chemical treatment and straightening technique are less damaging to the hair.
I usually go for soft straight treatment and hair colouring/ highlights twice a year. It's usually around Christmas/CNY period and mid-year.
With regards to hair loss, I do have hair dropping, especially after I wash my hair. For me, I suspect the hair dropping is due to my hormonal changes (i think i may be peri-menopause
) than because of the hair treatment. But I do see baby hair sprouting on my head, so am most relieved...
Not sure if this bit of info may help. I have been taking Evening Primose Oil for many years. I actually take it to keep my skin healthy and to manage my PMS mood swings. I was sharing this info with a nutritionist and she claims that EPO also helps in maintaining healthy hair.
I wouldn't say my hair is all jet black and glossy but ok lah. No complaints, so far. :lol: -

Am no hair expert, but it cd be due to our hormones changing that our hair texture and hair colour (black to white
) differs from what we are used to.
Another possible reason cd be due to the chemicals in the hair products that may cause our hair changes? Or maybe wrong/inappropriate hair product for our hair type? :idea: -
*nodding head* * nodding head**
I also agree it could be a combination of both our hormonal changes + wrong hair colouring product type. Whatever the reason, aging is such a terrible process -

I have also been taking EPO for years. How much do you take daily ? In spite of this, my hair has turn pretty much white. EPO did not have an effect on my hair colour. :?

I didn't know EPO helps with hair texture too. I have been on it for years too, primarily for skin. Though I must say that my hair is very black and I dislike it...too dull :lol: So I would highlight it...

hihi... Lovekidsverymuch, KingRascal, CJS and Maisy :lol:
Guess, we need all the help we can get.
Just want to clarify that EPO will not keep our hair black but it will help it to be healthy. I think they only magic to turn our white hair black is to colour or highlight it!!
I used to have jet black hair - but i believe it's due to good genes. My dad had black hair until he turned late 50s, then his hair started to grow white. So, I'm glad that I take after him.
But now, I'm starting to see white hair too And I'm not even 50s... Like I mentioned, I think I'm peri-menopause, so I believe it's also due to changing hormones and stress!!
For info, the brand that I buy is Efamol EPO. Initially I bought to keep my skin healthy and for hormones balance (it's said to help with mood swings and PMS). However, I later found out that other positive effects include healthy hair and finger nails too.
Btw, the main company Efalex (producing Efamol) also manufactures DHA for kids, Omega 3-6-9 for adults (cholestral, etc). So there's a good range. I buy Efalex for my kids.
It may be slightly expensive (sorry, I can't remember the price now - am not at home so can't check the price), but I have read reviews and testimoninals (online as well as in health magazines) that it is a good brand. So I treat it as an investment for my family's healthy living :lol:
You can buy EPO from any pharmacy (Guardian, Watsons...) Sometimes, I wait for Robinsons' members sale to stock up - can enjoy the discounts, mah
ps... come to think of it, our white hair may also be stress-induced. I noticed that I have more white hair in the months leading to my kids' exams. :!: -

Thought I'm the only one so free to be obsessed about hair. Have done rebonding (too poker straight) and soft straight (haiz, doesn't last a month) and now gaipping my hair instead, using a hair iron. Very time-consuming!
I thought I didn't have white hair but during a recent visit, the hairdresser told me, I've a few, at the back of my head.
but no big deal, out of sight out of mind.
I also take efamol epo. My current 2 bottles of 1000mgx30 cost $45 and I take 1 daily.
:? not sure why my male colleague takes it but he sure looks young for his age. -

Have to because hair is one's crowning glory....
My white hair quite smart now, they like to hide underneath...so as long as I don't push up my hair, I am quite safe.....but this is not going to last for long I know.......
