Hair Loss Awareness Is Key.
The month of August brings attention to the rooted issue that affects both men and women. Approximately 56 million adults are experiencing hair loss. Hair loss can point to a medical condition or can be a side effect of a treatment. Yes, in many cases genetics do play a significant role and often, hair loss is a natural part of aging.
Other causes are:

We’re not medical professionals. However, we are licensed cosmetologist professionals. We can recommend our suggestions around scalp and hair care, styling practices and organic product recommendations.
Here are some natural life practices you may want to apply if you’re experiencing thinning or hair loss.
Tensionless styling.
You may not realize that the pulled tight styling may be increasing your hair to thin or break from wearing it too tight. Loosen those top knots, braids & ponies! Use tensionless clips or accessories. Check out this brand. We will have them in our online shop and storefront soon!
Touch your hair less often.
We tend to touch or play with our hair throughout the day. Most of the time, you’re not aware of how much you’re touching your hair. Yes, it’s good to move your hair around in a gentle fashion. However, pulling or twisting over and over can create tension as if wearing your hair in a tight style. Try getting into the routine of using this tool for scalp care, brushing 100 strokes with a wide tooth comb and adding a serum before bed instead of touching your hair so much throughout the day.
Use clean products.
The products that you use on your hair and skin Do matter. Using the correct beauty products for your specific hair type recommendation by your hairstylist do make a big difference. We’d love to hear from you! If your products aren’t offering the results you’re looking for please visit us for some one on one time to evaluate your specific scalp and hair needs. Our Perfecting Serum is amazing for scalp and hair health.
Pat dry.
Your hair is in its most vulnerable state when it’s wet. To decrease strand breakage and thinning, pat dry your hair.
Consume nutrient dense foods.
You are the only one who can control what is going into your body. We recommend eating organic and non-GMO and balanced and nutritious foods. Be sure to stay away from processed foods. Your body will thank you. We’ve linked one of our favorite food gal professionals. She’s local. There are so many wonderful recipes that are so good for your body. Check it out!
