Detoxing Your Kidneys

Critique on hair loss prevention tips

A few thoughts on an article discussing hair loss and how to prevent it.

First, I will attempt to overlook the author's obviously non-english background and from there ignore the obvious spelling mistakes, incorrect word usage, and article omission (which is a pretty common mistake for amateur english speakers and writers)

Combing the hair with a wide tooth comb is advisable for those who have curly or wavy hair which would get caught in an ordinary brush. Brushing the scalp with a brush is actually a very healthy practice and will do a lot to prevent hair loss.

Chemicals on the scalp are always a no-no, though conditioning elements are not, provided they are natural.

Furthermore, while caring for your hair does enhance the look of your body, it is proper care of your body that will also benefit the hair, not the other way around.

This article is geared towards women but men can learn something from this too

I'm from Canada and due to the severe winters there, men use lip balm as the heaters tend to dry out the air in the house and outside, the cold also makes the air really dry. Men have become accustomed to using lip balm there. When I moved to Japan and used chap stick in front of Japanese people, they looked at me and thought I was gay. At the same time men here in the winter have the most chapped lips I've ever seen. They also use more hair products then women here which I found really strange as well. I guess it is all where you come from I suppose.
