Warm Weather is Great, But Not For Your Hair! Learn to Care for Your Hair in Hot Weather.

Spring time is here and summer is approaching fast. The sun is out and we all enjoy this time to visit the beach or play in the yard.  We all know to protect our skin with sunscreen while outside for long periods of time, but did you know that your hair needs protection too? Here are some tips that may help you protect your hair from the hot summer sun this year. 

Your hair needs vitamins and supplements just like your body especially when it's exposed to harsher elements such as the sun, sand, or wind. For women with color-treated hair, your hair is at an even higher risk for dehydration and damage. The sun, chlorine, and saltwater are all factors to consider when playing outside on a sunny day.

The sun is the reason that most women have to color their hair twice as often in the summer time. Whereas, the chlorine and saltwater dry out and cause damage to the hair follicles.  The best way to protect color- treated hair during the summer time is to put an SPF product on your hair several times a day while you’re exposed to harsh temperatures. An easy way is to do this is to mix your ordinary SPF with water in a spray bottle and just spray it on your hair. This may help protect the color and prevent damage.

Is Your Diet Affecting Your Hair Growth?

We all know a well-balanced diet can lead to better health, but who knew it could lead to healthier hair. A well- balanced diet can help improve the look and feel of your hair. That’s right! Eating protein, Iron and other essential nutrients may help your hair go from dry damaged hair to shiny luxurious hair.

Protein is the most important nutrient when it comes to healthy hair. Think about it, your hair is mostly made up of protein. So it makes sense that it needs protein to grow properly. Your hair has different stages of growth. Ninety percent of the time the hair is in the growing stage and then it enters a resting phase that leads to the shedding stage. If you are not eating enough protein your hair may not grow back after it sheds. It’s like asking your body to run a marathon with no water; it’s not going to end well.

Does Smoking Cause Hair Loss?

If you’re like most people, you may be looking at your hairline or scalp and attempting to self diagnose your hair loss. What most people don’t realize is that a healthy lifestyle may significantly contribute to the overall health of your body, and that includes your hair.  With all the research over the past few decades, everyone is aware that smoking leads to countless systematic problems with your health so why would your hair be included in this?

The truth is smoking is probably the worst habit anyone could have. If you smoke, you are damaging nearly every organ in your body including your hair. That’s right, smoking not only causes cancer, but it may also cause hair loss too. Smoking may cause hair loss because it reduces the circulation to the extremities, it can cause pollutants in the blood, which affect the liver. And it can also cause minor clogging of the scalp’s pores.

What is Scarring Alopecia?

Nearly 3% of hair loss patients are diagnosed with scarring alopecia. But what is it? Scarring alopecia is also known as cicatricial alopecia. Although each diagnosis in specific categories are rare, some examples of the hair loss disorders are follicular degeneration syndrome, dissecting cellulitis, lichen planopilaris and many more.  However, no matter what type of scarring alopecia is diagnosed, the most common factor of the disorder is a potentially permanent and irreversible destruction of the hair follicles. It also makes replacement harder with the advanced scar tissue.

Laser Therapy Promotes Hair Growth

Are you fighting the signs of hair loss? Is your hair in the beginning stages of thinning? If you’re a man or a woman, you should look at laser hair replacement or laser hair restoration.

Today, lasers are used in a variety of ways—from industrial developments, military operations to procedural medicine. For years, medical professionals have been using this tool to improve eye sight, removal of sunspots and birthmarks, and incisions for surgical operations.

However, one of laser’s major contributions is in the field of hair loss treatment. Today, another form of laser— the cool laser— is becoming a renowned solution to stop hair loss and stimulate better hair growth. The laser in this process is going to stimulate the blood flow in your system. It may help the hair follicles get intoxicated with nutrients to strengthen it. If you have healthy hair follicles, you will not lose hair. Thus, what the laser does is strengthen the hair follicles in order to prevent the hair loss.

It’s an alternative for patients who aren’t ready to have hair transplant surgery, or are concerned about the possible side effects of hair loss medications. Laser hair therapy is a natural, safe and without medications treatment that offers amazing results.

Over the years, studies show laser hair therapy supports hair growth in three ways:

Energization

When the hair follicles absorb the laser energy, this will increase blood flow, it will also remove oil, impurities and DHT. DHT is the primary cause of hair loss. Moreover vasodilatation provides more proteins, nutrients and vitamins to your hair follicles, thereby producing a hair stronger, brighter and healthier.

Circulation 

Laser hair therapy enhances circulation and oxygenation of the blood. It also lessens the blockage and calcification around the hair bulb as well as improves cell and tissue regeneration. The increased blood flow in the scalp helps deliver adequate amounts of nutrients and oxygenated blood to the hair roots, encouraging the development of healthier hair follicles for the creation of fuller and thicker hair strands.

Vibration 

It is believed that a cell’s healthy functioning is mostly dependent on an exchange of information and energy with its surrounding cells. Therefore, a cell is in an unhealthy situation when its vibration becomes imbalanced with this common communication system. To combat that, it can be transported back into vibratory “harmony” through low-level lasers.

The treatment will not work on completely bald areas, only in areas with live follicles. Results are seen in 4 to 6 months. It is important to adhere to the treatment schedule to achieve best results
