Protect your hair before it's too late

HAIR may be simple in structure, but it is in fact made of a tough protein called keratin. A hair follicle anchors each hair into the skin and a hair bulb forms the base of the hair follicle. Blood vessels nourish the cells in the hair bulb, and deliver hormones that modify hair growth and structure at different times of life.
What causes hair loss?
Hair loss can be influenced by environmental effects, ageing, stress, excessive smoking, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, genetic factors, scalp infections, use of wrong or chemically enriched hair products, certain medicines and medical conditions like thyroid disorder, autoimmune diseases, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), iron-deficiency anaemia, and chronic illnesses.
There are about 100,000 strands of hair on your scalp and it is considered normal to lose 50 to 100 strands a day. But when you start losing more than that, it's time for you to take action. Many readily available ingredients can be used to treat hair loss at home.
For the first time in Malaysia, Blackmores introduces Vital Shine which provides a combination of carefully selected nourishing ingredients – He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti), bamboo shoot extract, millet seed extract, white tea extract and sea buckthorn for maintaining healthy hair.
He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti) is used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine to improve liver-kidney yin depletion that causes premature greying of the hair.
Bamboo shoots extracts contains silica. Silica helps facilitate the formation of collagen within the body, and can help support hair and nail health.
Millet contains important hair nutrients and trace elements, in addition to silica. All these compounds help to support growth and maintenance of healthy hair.
White tea and sea buckthorn contains antioxidants properties for hair health.
