The following short list illustrates the point. If you're doing any of these things to your hair, you should stop as soon as possible. Here's why.</p><p><b>1. EXTENSIONS</b></p><p>Hair extensions are pieces of hair that are attached to a clip or comb. These hair units are sewn or glued into place by adhering the ends to growing hair shafts, usually very close to the scalp. Though extensions can instantly add the appearance of volume and length, the damage done is often severe. Extensions exert a pulling force on the hair follicle. This causes inflammation and damage to the living structures which produce scalp hair. Eventually, the damage may cause bald spots to appear where hair extensions have been applied. So, short term gain turns into long term loss. Not a good idea.</p><p><b>2. WIGS OR HAIR PIECES</b></p><p>Those who market these things call them hair replacement systems, or hair additions. Marketing gibberish aside, all of these things are based on a common premise -- which is the use of a base material wherein non living hairs are attached. The wig (or hair unit) is then attached to the scalp in some fashion, usually with glue or clips. Though hair pieces can look good initially, they require regular and costly upkeep to maintain a decent appearance. Regardless, they do damage to the underlying scalp and hair. By rubbing and blocking access, wigs can cause extensive and rapid hair loss.</p><p><b>3. CHEMICAL STRAIGHTENING OR PERMS</b></p><p>Although the "factories" that produce hair occur several millimeters below the surface of the scalp, the repeated use of harsh chemicals can cause irreversible damage. Likewise, the traction of curling or straightening, as well as the chemical itself can cause hair breakage as well as inflammation.</p><p><b>4. BRAIDS</b></p><p>Imagine placing your fingers on your hair and pulling for hours or days at time. Essentially, this is what braids do. The outcome is a gradual loss of the hair being pulled. Again, not a great idea.</p><p><b>5. HOT AIR BLOW DRYING</b></p><p>While less severe than the aforementioned no no's, blasts of hot air applied to the scalp do no good. The hair itself is rapidly over-dried and sometimes even burned. The organized keratin molecules that make up the hair shafts are also subject to damage. Split ends and a gradual loss of density all can be the result of over-zealous blow drying.</p><p>The moral to the story is 'treat your hair gently' and it will respond by looking and behaving better than it otherwise will if you abuse it.</p> <p>Dr. Geno Marcovici has fifteen years experience in the <a target="_new" href="http://www.hairgenesis.com">hair loss product</a> field.
