Ukungabi nezinwele etsheni kubizwa ngamanye amazwi ngokuba yimpandla, noma ngoba izinwele zethu ziqothukile noma ngoba siziphucile. Ukunakekelwa kogebhezi akufani neze kuzo zombili izimo kodwa amaphuzu avamile achaza ukuqhuma kwemikhiqizo ekhethekile yokunakekela nokugcina isikhumba "esihlakazekile".

Isikhumbuzi sibhekisa engxenyeni yesikhumba sogebhezi eqala izinwele ezifana nezinwele. Ukwenza izinwele noma izinwele, kuyindlela efanayo: udinga i-follicle yezinwele noma i-pilosebaceous, ingxenye encane ye-epidermis (ungqimba olungaphezulu kwesikhumba) olutholwe esikhumbeni (ungqimba lwesibili lwesikhumba). I-follicle ngayinye ine-bulb phansi kwayo futhi yondliwa yi-papilla. Igilobhu liyingxenye engabonakali yezinwele futhi lilinganisa u-2 mm.

Qaphela i-anecdote ukuthi izinwele zikhula ngokungapheli ngenkathi izinwele zimisa ukukhula kwazo lapho ubude obukhulu bufinyelelwe. Izindlala ezi-sebaceous ezikhona ku-dermis zixhunywe kuma-follicles ngamaphayiphu angaphandle avumela i-sebum efihliwe ukuthi isabalale ngezinwele noma izinwele ukuyigcoba. Le sebum ibalulekile ekuqondeni ikhanda elinempandla. Kepha okokuqala, kufanele sihlukanise izinhlobo ezimbili zogebhezi olunempandla: okungazibandakanyi nokuzithandela.

Ikhanda elinempandla elingazibandakanyi libizwa ngokuthi yi-baldness. Amadoda ayizigidi ezingama-6,5 emhlabeni wonke ayathinteka kuwo: ukulahleka kwezinwele kuyaqhubeka. Sikhuluma ngempandla ye-androgenetic, ngokungajwayelekile ngokwanele kwabesilisa nabesifazane. Lapho kuthinteka kuphela izindawo ezithile zogebhezi (ngokwesibonelo amathempeli), ibizwa ngokuthi i-alopecia.

Nsuku zonke silahlekelwa yizinwele ezingama-45 kuye kwayi-100 kanti uma siba nempandla silahlekelwe yizinwele eziyikhulu kuya kwezingu-100. I-follicle pilosebaceous (emuva kulokhu) ihlelelwe ukwenza imijikelezo engu-000 kuya ku-150 kuyo yonke impilo. Umjikelezo wezinwele ufaka izigaba ezingama-000:

• Izinwele zikhula iminyaka emi-2 kuye kwengu-6;
• Kukhona isigaba sokuguquka samasonto amathathu;
• Bese isigaba sokuphumula izinyanga ezimbili kuya kwezi-2;
• Bese izinwele ziyawa.

Uma kwenzeka impandla, imijikelezo iyashesha.

Zihluke kakhulu izinkinga zamakhanda aphuciwe. Ngokomlando, abesilisa kodwa nabesifazane bayazigunda izinwele noma bagundiwe. Imayelana nokukhombisa ukuhlangana ngokwenkolo, ukwenza isenzo sokuhlubuka, ukumaka isijeziso, ukunamathela emfashini, ukuthatha isikhundla sobuhle noma ukukhombisa ubuhlakani noma inkululeko. "Ngenza engikufunayo kufaka phakathi izinwele zami."

Ekhanda eligundiwe, usengalubona ulayini lwezinwele, kepha isikhumba sithanda ukoma. Kufanele ifakwe amafutha akhethekile noma ukhilimu. Kungcono ukuphathisa ukushefa kuchwepheshe. Isiko lokucheba alilimazi kangako kunensingo. Ukusikeka okubangelwa izindwani kuthatha isikhathi eside ukuphola futhi kwesinye isikhathi kudinga ukusetshenziswa kwasendaweni kokhilimu we-antiseptic noma wama-antibiotic.

Ukuthi asisenazo izinwele akusho ukuthi asisebenzisi i-shampoo ukugeza izikhumba zethu. I-shampoo iyi-syndet (evela esihlanzweni se-English synthetic detergent) engenayo insipho kodwa izinto zokufakelwa zokwenziwa; i-pH yayo iyakwazi ukuguquguquka, ikhihliza amagwebu kakhulu futhi nokuhlanza kwayo kungcono: akukho mali ebekiwe ngemuva kokusetshenziswa.

Imvelaphi yayo kufanele ishiwo: ngesikhathi seMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba, abaseMelika basungula lo mkhiqizo ukuze amasosha abo azigeze emanzini olwandle anamagwebu. Insipho ayikhihliki amagwebu emanzini olwandle.

Kunenqwaba yolayini abanakekela ochwepheshe bamakhanda aphuciwe. Sibona ngisho muva nje kwezokukhangisa.

Uma kungekho izinwele, ikhanda elinempandla lilahlekelwa ukuvikelwa kwalo okushisayo. Kungakuhle ukuthi ugqoke isigqoko noma ikepisi ebusika. Uhlobo loqweqwe lekhekhe, lesi sesekeli esikumema ukuthi ukhulise ubuhlakani bakho sigcwalisa ukubukeka okwenziwe kwaba ngokwakho. Kuyadingeka futhi ukusebenzisa kakhulu ukhilimu wokuvikela ilanga omkhulu ehlobo. Omunye akakhiphi omunye kokunye. Kuhlala kuqondakala ukuthi kungani igama elithi "isikhumba" lisetshenziselwa lesi siqeshana sesikhumba ngoba imvamisa sisho isikhumba sesilwane esifile. Kepha lokhu kukhombisa kudlulela ngalé kwesihloko…
