Study Notes
Hair Inheritance and Health
- Hair color is determined by heredity, passed down from parents through genes.
- Hair and scalp health issues include dry or oily scalp, impacted by shampoo choice; products are tailored for each hair type.
- Chlorine from swimming pools can dry out hair and alter its color; special shampoos are available to remove chlorine.
- Dandruff, characterized by an itchy scalp and flakes, can result from dry skin or skin diseases; regular washing and medicated shampoos can control it.
- Head lice, tiny insects that feed on blood, cause itchy scalps and can spread easily; avoidance of shared personal items and use of medicated shampoos are necessary for treatment.
Hair Care Tips
- Regular washing with gentle shampoo and conditioner promotes healthy hair.
- Select hair care products based on personal needs, and allow hair to air dry when possible to minimize heat damage.
- If using heat styling tools, choose low temperatures to prevent dryness and brittleness.
Skin Health Overview
- Skin is the largest organ, covering an average area of 2 square meters and weighing around 3 kilograms.
- It acts as a waterproof barrier against germs, regulates body temperature, and allows sensation of touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
- The skin synthesizes vitamin D from sunlight, essential for bone and teeth health.
- Comprised of three layers: the epidermis (outermost), dermis (contains nerve endings and glands), and subcutaneous layer (connects skin to muscles/bones).
Skin Care Recommendations
- Bathe or shower daily to remove dirt and bacteria; moisturizing is essential for dry skin.
- Limit sun exposure, particularly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest; wear protective clothing and apply sunscreen (SPF 15+) regularly.
- Avoid tanning beds due to their harmful effects similar to sun exposure, and consider the risks of tattoos and piercings for potential disease and scarring.
Acne and Skin Problems
- Acne is a common skin issue caused by clogged pores, often exacerbated by bacteria.
- To treat acne, avoid touching or picking at the skin; use mild soap and warm water for gentle cleansing to remove impurities.
