Research in Hair Loss

As you know: Hair loss is NOT the same as hair breakage. FIRST: Real, troublesome, hair LOSS starts at the scalp. The hair follicle goes into a prolonged ( or permanent) dormant stage and moves closer to the opening at the scalp. The hair strand loosens and falls away. That’s hair loss.


Even though hair loss has been widely addressed for YEARS, and products and medical interventions address this issue, beauty industry insiders now report that hair thinning and hair loss are reported ..and feared.. even more right now. Perhaps you and those you work with notice this upsetting trend.


Noted: We are not medical doctors, but, before ( or instead if). Seeing their doctor, our clients ask us for help. The late, great, British trilogist, Phillip Kingsley, visited my salon in NYC years ago— and I visited him as well. His lectures and book noted that heredity plays a part in the situation. He notrd that protein and vitamin deficiency, stress, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, poor thyroid function, certain medications and lack of scalp stimulation all contribute here.


The topical drops he prescribed for me ( no longer available in the USA) made my hair more abundant than ever before— hormones as well as his own version of Rogaine and other ingredients were involved. Here is what he stressed: The Scslp Must Breathe. We. Should never allow the scalp to ‘ suffocate’. infrequent shampooing— a filthy scalp covered with cellular debris, oxidized sebum, styling aid build up, spray , environmental pollution and .. stress. All combine to exacerbate hair loss. DRY SHAMPOO does not clean the scalp, and, in a pinch, is fine to uses. However , it does not replace proper and thorough cleansing of the scalp. Great salons know this. Great salons offer a terrific and thorough shampoo service and Great salon professionals explain proper scalp care and cleanliness to their clients. When a client sees hair in their bathroom drain; the cause was not action from shampooing… that hair had already been detached from the scalp. … wonderful, gentle and regular cleansing coupled with proper scalp stimulation, good diet.. and other measures like Considering options like Viviscal, Nutrifol, topical minoxidil… and hair transplanting.. all play a role in maintaining hair.. again.. research for yourself and for your clients. Locate an area Derm. who specializes in hair loss. He or she is the doctor. You, however , can be a source of information, care and comfort. B.
