Losing hair is on the rise. It is estimated that over 20 million American women
suffer from losing hair or hair thinning. The causes seem to vary.
Women's and men's hair loss has been linked to dht, a derivative of
testosterone but there have also been many cases related to stress, lack
of protein in diet, rapid dietary changes such as weight loss, bacteria
on root and damage caused by everything from sun to heat from products
including dryers and sun tanning booths. To prevent hair loss and experience re-thickening it is important to find the cause of the hair problem. This is done most often with a microscopic analysis. This is done by the client gently removing 6-10 hairs from the scalp by running fingers through the problem areas of the scalp and then placing the hairs in a plastic bag. The samples are then mailed to the lab for diagnosis. The "microscopic hair analysis" is good for finding the cause of thinning, but also for dry hair, fly away, weak and brittle hair problems. There are products that can helps with all of these that do not mask the problem but instead solve it. One of the latest products that have had good results for thinning, dryness is Emu Oil products because it has anti inflammatory, anti bacterial and anti dht. It is full of essential fatty acids that all of us need but only 25% of receive adequate amounts of. Do you eat fish everyday?? Then you are probably not getting enough of the omega acids (gamma). Emu Oil has had significant positive effects on follicles and roots but also on skin where it has been labeled as great for skin firming and toning eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. It is not the only stimulating and dht preventative product but is worth mentioning. ***Important to note that based on our analysis**** Over 80% of women that complain of follicle problems have significant bacteria, dirt, or sebum build up on the root. This is typically because of the sticky products that women use to style such as sprays and gels. It causes dirt and bacteria to stick. It can happen at any age.
Below is the process that a hair goes through as it reproduces. The blue tail on the bottom of the bulb is the new bulb that is being formed to take the current follicle's place. Anything that interferes with this process can cause hair problems. Note the heavy sebum and cholesterol on the hair above and to the left. This person complained of thinning. This dirt and sebum as well as bacteria were removed with a product called Folli-cleanse. |

Solving scalp problems begins with finding the cause of the problems.
***A note on the shampoos that you use. A while ago there was information circulating about "sodium laurel sulfate" stating that it caused cancer on the scalp. In our opinion it is not desirable but because it causes inflammation because of its harshness on the scalp. It can burn and irritate at a microscopic level and this can cause significant problems especially with treated locks. We believe that Healthy Hair Plus
products offer unique qualities that women and men need for ultimate
roots and scalp and healthy growing conditions.
