ANGELA SIMMONS FROM STUDIO FIFTY SIX ANSWERS SOME SALON FAQ’s Advice on maintaining your hair through the summer months
Treat your hair this summer
At this time of year we get asked for a lot of advice on summer hair. The main problems generally relate to condition and colour. I’ve noticed I’m losing a lot of hair recently – it seems to be more fragile and is getting much thinner. Why is this and what can I do about it? Sara, Bournemouth With 74% of women and 50% of men claiming this to be a problem, we asked Studio Fifty Six REDKEN scalp specialist Chris Chevers his advice. There are many reasons for thinning hair, one can be hormonal and too much testosterone (particularly in women) is a common cause as this is converted into the enzyme DHT which prevents nutrients getting to the hair follicle and allows collagen to build up around the hair bulb, preventing it taking anchorage at the root. Our levels of testosterone can increase as a result of stress, either general or brought on by a specific event such as moving home, work pressure, marriage, separation or exams both yours or others in your family. Take some time to think about any changes to your lifestyle which may help, for instance avoid overly long hours at work, consider swapping some gym sessions for more gentle exercise such as yoga or brisk walking to relax and help you sleep which will encourage testosterone levels to fall. If you are particularly concerned it may be worth consulting an Endocrinologist who can check for any hormone imbalances. Many women lose hair after a pregnancy or when they stop breastfeeding, again this is hormonal and usually balances out within a few months Other causes of hair loss include an illness such as colds or flu, thyroid problems and medication (read the enclosed leaflet for side effects) which includes the contraceptive pill can play a part. Radical dieting is also a common cause of hair loss so should be avoided, a good balanced diet of vitamin B’s are essential for hair growth with plenty of fruit, vegetables and protein. It is worth checking out any unexplained hair loss with your GP or trichologist (Dr of hair and scalp) especially if you are noticing patches of hair loss (alopecia which is rare) or there is any irritation or inflammation Redken’s new product range INTRA FORCE with it’s unique formula’s containing patented Aminexil, Arginine & zinc PCA, which reduces the rate of hair loss, cleanses excess sebum from the scalp and invigorates the hair from root to tip, is guaranteed to give thicker, fuller looking hair or your money back. There are two state-of-the-art formulas, NATURAL THINNING HAIR and COLOR-TREATED THINNING HAIR enriched with UV filters and additional conditioners. Phone the salon and ask for a personal consultation with me and we can also discuss the best hair style for you, colour to give the correct depth and texture, and styling products to add volume to your hair style without weighing it down all. All of these will help to achieve thicker, healthier looking hair and give you back your confidence. Look forward to seeing you soon CHRIS.
