The Hair Facts
Your hair is your most unique feature and should be your crowning glory. The barbers and professional stylists at Classic Barber Shop in Carmel, Indiana suggest that to make the most of what you have, you must start with what your hair does naturally.
Healthy hair has an average lifetime of 2 to 6 years but that lifetime depends on how you treat yourself and your hair. It may come as a surprise but if you look closely you'll find that many of the classic hairstyles are the result of what each hair type does naturally and uniquely. With few exceptions, a professional barber, like the stylists at Classic Barber Shop, can look at your hair, the shape of your head and face, and recommend a look that works for you.
Hair is made up of keratin, the material that is also responsible for the elasticity of human fingernails Hair grows at approximately half of an inch per month and although it is as strong as a wire of iron, a single strand of hair has a thickness of only 0.02-0.04mm. In other words, it would take almost 50 hairs side by side to equal one millimeter. A normal head of hair contains about 150,000 hair fibers but blondes usually have more fibers than brunettes or redheads.
Hair growth equals about one half inch per month and means to keep your hair trim you should schedule an appointment with a barber or hair care professional every four weeks to keep your hair cut in good shape. The hair in a beard or mustache grows a little faster, about 0.4mm per day or just over a half inch per month means that well-groomed facial hair also requires regular appointments in the barberís chair.

Extreme Hair Care Myths or Truths?
Thank the barbers and professional stylists at Classic Barber Shop in Carmel, Indiana for up to date basic hair care tips and styling suggestions. If you need advice for hair care problems ask your barber or stylist before trying these extreme suggestions.
Worried about hair loss, talk to your barber before trying this extreme suggestion, a hair growth ìremedyî made of ground up licorice and milk applied to thinning areas like a paste.
Restless sleepers can protect their hair by investing in satin pillow cases. The cotton cases catch hair more easily, which can lead to continuous breaks in the hair cuticle due to constant rubbing and pulling.
Save the hot oil for a car not your hair since it makes absolutely no difference in the condition of your hair. Instead, because hair is made up of protein mix up a paste of Vanilla Instant breakfast mix (all protein) and leave it on your hair for no more than 10 minutes before completely rinsing it off.
If highlighted hair shows signs of turning yellow, the color may be changing due to absorbed fat from your sweat working its way into your hair. For extreme hair care, wash the grease out of your hair using Dawn dishwashing detergent. Do this sparingly since it will severely dry out your hair.
Not sure about if these extreme hair care suggestions are true or false? Make an appointment and ask the barbers and styling professionals at Classic Barber Shop in Carmel, Indiana. Their expert advice will have you and your hair looking great.

Common Causes of Hair Loss And What You Should Know!
Shedding hair is a natural process and allows for new hair growth on the scalp. For men worried about excessive hair loss, the barbers and professional stylists at Classic Barber Shop in Carmel, Indiana can help you understand common causes of hair loss.
While genetics can play a role in hair loss, stress is also a common reason for increased hair loss.Research is ongoing to discover the exact mechanism of how stress impacts  normal hair growth. Scientists say it may be linked to the network of nerves that surround hair follicles and any disruptions in normal nerve cell signals trigger changes in hair growth.
Thyroid hormones also play a major role in hair growth. Disruptions in thyroid levels can be a cause of hair loss. Either too little or too much thyroid hormones can switch hair follicles into a dormant state, slowing hair growth.
Poor nutrition is another cause of hair loss. Without the proper vitamins, proteins and other nutrients, normal hair growth decreases and leads to hair loss. A healthy diet includes protein rich foods like meat, eggs, fish and natural oils. If you or your barber or stylist detects a noticeable change in your hair loss see a doctor.
This information is not intended to take the place of a medical evaluation or professional medical advice. The barbers and professional stylists at Classic Barber Shop in Carmel are there to assist you with your hair care needs.
