The Surprising Secret to Longer Hair

Are you looking for ways to grow longer, stronger hair? Well the answer could be right above you, literally. A healthy hair care regimen is only half the solution, but many are ignoring the whole other side to getting luscious hair: your scalp. A clean and well cared for scalp is what produces healthy hair. If your hair seems to hardly grow the answer could be to look at your scalp. Here are some tips for men and women to make sure your scalp is the perfect growing environment for your hair.

Keep the scalp clean

This may seem like a no brainer, but many aren’t taking the right steps to properly cleanse their scalp. As you wash your hair make sure you really focus on your scalp. Starting at the roots, gently rub around your head in circular motions using the pads of your fingers working down to the ends. Rinse with warm, not hot, water (repeat if necessary) then do the same process with conditioner and rise with cool water. However, make sure you’re not over washing your hair, which can lead to dryness and potential hair loss. Dermatologists advise washing the hair no more than 2-3 times a week during Summers, and 1-2 times a week during Winters.

Exfoliation and Circulation

Having proper blood circulation is an important factor in supplementing hair growth because blood carries oxygen and needed nutrients to our hair follicles. Washing your hair encourages blood flow to the scalp but also occasionally exfoliating by adding a few spoonfuls of sugar to your shampoo gets rid of dead skin cells and promotes good blood flow. Remember, to use the pads of your fingers to work the mixture in and not your fingernails to avoid unintentional scabbing. Plus, at the end of a long day a good scalp massage with essential oils is a great way to stimulate circulation and melt away stress. Also, Laser Hair therapy is an effective FDA approved hair loss solution that uses low level red light to boost blood flow to your scalp to regrow and restore damaged and thinning hair. Treatment sessions are quick and painless, and many clients notice visible results after only a few sessions.

Balance moisture and oils

Your scalp naturally produces oils essential for keeping the skin moisturized and healthy. Over washing strips, the scalp from these oils making hair it becomes dry and brittle. However, too much buildup clogs hair follicles and stunts growth. That’s why a good balance of washing and using oils and moisturizers is critical. Make sure you’re consuming enough nutrients and oils as well as directly applying them. Fish oil and foods rich in omega 3s are great for hair and nails and drinking plenty of water is crucial. Aloe vera gel and coconut oil can help get rid of dandruff and finding a quality leave in conditioner or moisturizer for your hair type makes a world of difference.

Protect your scalp

Damage to the hair and scalp can comes from several factors. Environmental factors such as UV rays, improperly using heat styling tools, and over processing when chemically treating or coloring hair are just a few instances where the scalp can be damaged. When outside protect your scalp from exposure to harsh elements and pollution. Consult a professional stylist when chemically treating hair and use plenty of conditioner. If your hair tingles when coloring that can be a sign of a dry scalp.  A dry or damaged scalp causes dandruff, inflammation, and potentially hair loss. Give your hair and scalp an occasional break from heat and chemical styling and regularly follow the tips talked about above. If you’re still experiencing thinning hair or irregular hair loss it could be signs of another problem like genetic hair loss or health issues. Speak to your doctor and a hair restoration specialist to pinpoint the cause and find a solution.

Losing More Hair than Usual? Find Out Why

School is out, the sun is out, and… your hair is falling out? As you wash the sand from your hair or brush out those beach curls you may find yourself pulling a few extra strands out of your brush (and your drain). Don’t panic. A new British Journal of Dermatology study suggests that shedding more strands in the summer and fall is totally normal. Dr. Shawn Kwatra, assistant professor of dermatology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, speculates to Health Magazine that, “from an evolutionary perspective one of the roles of hair loss is to provide warmth. This would be less necessary during the summer months.” Daily hair loss is normal especially during warm-weather months. The American Academy of Dermatologists says it’s normal to lose between 50-100 hairs a day. Our hair goes through phases of growth over a few weeks. During the resting phase (telogen) hair is more prone to shedding and falling out. “When hair is subjected to more extreme weather, as much as 70 percent of strands can prematurely enter this resting phase,” says hair restoration expert Dr. Robert Dorin.

The high temperatures and dry air typically seen during the summer can be especially harsh to hair making the telogen phase come around quicker. This is why you may see more hair fall during the warmer seasons. So seasonal hair loss is no reason for alarm. Especially, since hair regrowth happens simultaneously with hair loss. However, the findings of researches at John Hopkins is relevant to doctors whose patients complain of hair loss during those seasons and can be useful in evaluating the effectiveness of certain therapies at treating hair loss. Health Magazine states that, “40% of Americans suffer from unwanted hair shedding, and many women as well as men will notice an increase in hair loss as they get older.”

So how can you differentiate seasonal hair loss from male or female pattern baldness?  “If you notice hair falling out in a pattern—balding near temples or crown of the head, for example,” Dr. Dorin says. “Or if you notice severe thinning or balding in general.”

The sooner you speak with an expert, such as one of New England Associates® hair restoration specialists, the quicker your hair can be repaired with a proven regimen of proper hair nutrition and good scalp hygiene or several surgical or non-medical options.

Restore Your Hair this Winter Season With HairStart®

Winter can be a brutal season for hair. From split ends to a dry scalp, the winter season is no friend of ours. As this year’s harshest weather approaches, let’s prepare for it with healthy and lustrous hair.

Men and women both want their hair to look nice even during the worst weather days. However, the necessary measures aren’t often taken to replenish their hair from the disastrous conditions they expose it to. If hair is essential to us, let’s treat it with care. Here are the top-three hair care tips that will revive your hair from its dead state this winter.

Deep Condition & Moisturize

Harsh winter temperatures damage your hair causing your scalp to lose nutrients and your hair to become frizzy.  Deep conditioning your hair will cleanse your scalp, eliminate dirt, strengthen your roots, and it replenishes your hair with nutrients. It’s recommended to deep condition your hair at least once a week.

Once you’ve washed your hair, it’s imperative to lock in some oils that your hair needs. Look for natural oils, such as coconut or Argon Moroccan, which give your hair shine and grows it out. Also, try to avoid products that contain alcohol, or high amounts of it, such as in some hairsprays and hair gels. These products dry and damage your hair.

At New England Associates®, our line of hair care products provide the necessary nutrients for your hair. Below are some of our most popular products that are great for deep conditioning, moisturizing and styling. Visit our website at http://hairstart.com/ to view our full collection of hair care products.

·         For deep conditioning, try our HairStart® Condition25™, a conditioner that contains 25 vitamins, minerals and amino acids essential for healthier and fuller looking hair.

·         To retain moisture, our NEA Conditioner Moisturizing Formula  reduces dryness and flakes and helps your hair look lustrous.

Heat Protectant

During the winter, most men and women tend to use a lot of heat styling products that can damage their hair. Though staying away from them can be hard, it’s recommended not to use them as frequently. Letting your hair dry naturally and leaving it in its natural state is one of the best ways protect your hair from the heat. However, if you insist on using a heat styling product, it’s highly recommended to use a heat protectant like New England Associates® '  NEA Styling Lotion. This product can protect hair from heat, controls frizz and preserves your hair’s moisture balance.

Trim Your Hair Regularly

This may sound strange, but trimming your hair, specifically your split ends, fortifies your hair. Leaving split ends in your hair only causes your hair to look brittle and unattractive. Trimming them enhances your hairs strength and quality to grow better and longer. According to womanitely.com and menshairstylestoday.com, it’s recommend to trim your hair around every 2 months.

Following these tips not only protects your hair, but also restores your hair to a healthier state. We all want healthy looking hair, so let’s make it happen.
