I have just graduated from high school and am finally able to grow my hair long. I'm a guy by the way my high school had rules about hair length. I have always been quite found about my hair and take good care of it but lately I have been having problems.

The normal shampoos and conditioners don't work the same any more. after using them and washing them I out my hair gains this weird constituency sort of like rubbery, becomes extremely tangled and no longer looks as smooth. I have Used head and shoulders, dove, pantene pro v and some other ones but still the same. Lately I bought some shampoo and conditioner from the phyto brand because I have read many positive things about them.

I have two samples of shampoo (Phyto PhytoJoba - Intense Hydrating Shampoo and Phyto PhytoProgenium Intelligent Shampoo. I also bought the Phyto PhytoSesame - Express Hydrating Conditioner. when I have used the PhytoJoba it smelled amazing but in the end my hair still felt rubbery after using it and I really didn't notice much. It didn't feel any smoother or silky like at all.

When applying the PhytoSesame it did remove the tangles and did slightly improve my hairs softness but still didn't do as much as expected. I have yet to try the PhytoProgenium. As for my hair type I have dark brown very heavy hair but when I run my fingers through it my hair feels sort of strainy quite similar to straw. Now I don't want to just give up on the phyto brand, perhaps I should use another type of shampoo by them like perhaps the Phytonectar?

Alopecia : Introduction and Types


Around 2% of the world’s population suffers from a hair loss problem known as alopecia areata. In the last decade much progress has been made in terms of research on the causes and treatment of this disorder. Hair loss from different parts of the body, especially the scalp leading to bald spots on the head is caused by alopecia areata.

This disorder has also been nicknamed “spot baldness”. Resting follicles are not affected by this disorder which attacks growing hairs only. Hair follicles are not completely destroyed but the growth of hairs is truncated. Due to alopecia areata, hair follicles go into a resting state which leads to significant shedding. Hair follicles remain in this state of rest for a prolonged time and they are forced back into the resting state if they attempt to go to a state of growth. The treatment of alopecia areata is based on attempting to promote new growth in the hair follicles at rest and to lessen the effect which immune cells have on the hair follicles.

Alopecia Patient Treatment Alopecia areata is of different types namely alopecia areata monolocularis, alopecia areata totalis, alopecia areata universalis, alopecia areata multilocularis, diffuse alopecia areata. The causes of this disease are still not known for sure. Alopecia areata contains autoimmunity which is failure to identify its own constituting parts. The hair follicles are treated as foreign tissues erroneously which suppresses and stops hair growth. People often mistake alopecia to be contagious but it actually is not although in some cases it may be hereditary. It is still not known whether the stress factor causes alopecia areata. Alopecia can be treated in a number of different ways, like PUVA which is Psolaren and UV-A light, topical sensitizers like diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) and squaric acid dibutylester (SADBE), vasodilators and non-specific irritants.

The treatment methods are not directed at cosmetic hair re-growth and hair loss is not prevented by them. The most popular treatment options are Anthralin, Topical corticosteroids and injected corticosteroids or therapy in which minoxidil is used. Extent and duration of the disease are taken into consideration when deciding the most suitable method of treating alopecia areata.
