When you choose to color or bleach your hair, be careful of how it interferes with your hair growth. Ever tempted to let your stylist leave in that bleach for a very blonde look? All of us do it at one time or the other, what we do not realize is that it is damaging our hair quality. The bleaching disperses the melanin in your hair and the longer you leave in the bleach the more melanin is dispersed. The peroxide raises the cuticle layer to assist the melanin dispersal and in the process the hair’s molecular structure gets weakened resulting in thinning of your hair and also hair loss.

Today, thinning hair is a concern for more men and women and according to the American Academy of Dermatology more than 50 million American men and 30 million women experience hair loss. If you are seeing more hair on your brush everyday, take heart, there are a number of tools and tricks to make your hair seem thicker and promote hair growth.
