Hair Protection Advice by Dr Adolf Klenk

As mentioned at iol.co.za, renowned and internationally acknowledged German scientist Dr Adolf Klenk has offered advice related to hair care. Dr Adolf had developed a brand of shampoos and conditioners containing caffeine about two years ago. Hair loss is the biggest problem for men and women which is increasing due to poor diet and stress. Dr Adolf said answer to this is “caffeine”.

Klenk conducted his own research in early 2004 then with German cosmeceutical Company: the Dr. Wolff Group and developed shampoos and conditioners with the use of caffeine. Klenk had said that “The idea of taking a closer look at caffeine came to him purely by coincidence”. His caffeine hair products are widely sold especially in South Africa.

So, caffeine is “wonder” ingredient of his hair products but in order to have improvement in hair growth, one would have to take about 40 to 50 cups a day. But this formula can really be helpful to strengthen hair roots. According to Klenk, hair loss is a genetic problem. If your family have hair loss issue, you are likely to have the same. Hormonal changes also affect hair growth, for women during menopause and young men during puberty. Klenk says stress and depression play an important role in shortening the hair growth period and can cause serious hair loss.

Conditioning hair on regular basis keep hair strands in better condition. Hair strands are important as they formulate healthy hair shape. Klenk’s another advice is “avoid heating your hair too much”. Tight hair styles, excessive usage of hair styling devices and chemical products affect hair quality.  

Pregnant women have more chances for hair loss. Healthy diet and relaxation may prevent hair loss during pregnancy. Junk food and unbalanced diet also affect hair. Healthy food means healthy hair. Consumption of balanced diet will cause a perceptible change in the hair in two months only.

Be gentle with your hair. After washing dry you hair gently with towel and use good quality comb. Scalp protection is important. 

For this purpose, dermatological products can be used for healthy scalp and hair root. Stay away from excessive UV exposure as it damages scalp thus lead to hair loss.  

Many good products are available in the market that have no side-effects and help to reduce hair fall. Hair is life so one should be very careful while selecting shampoo and conditioner. But before this, first look at your health. Hair are healthy when body is healthy. Consult your doctor regularly and avoid such medicines that cause hair loss as side-effect.
