For both men and women 18 years old and older there is now a home use, hand=held laser hair brush that can improve the look of your hair. If your genetics are signaling that you will most likely lose hair when older, it is never too early to start treatment. The earlier you begin, the more likely you are to save your hair. Once you have assessed the reason for your thinning hair or hair loss, and have determined that there are no open sores or other scalp diseases, you are ready to start your low level laser therapy.

A quality laser hair brush manufacturer is an expert in the practice and administration of laser hair restoration and can advise if this treatment option is a viable solution for your current state of hair loss. Hair loss is progressive, and anything done to slow down that loss can be considered positive. It should be noted that the low level laser hair therapy used in a laser hair brush is not a cure, but a treatment option to be considered. It is most successfully administered along with a regimen of low sudsing shampoo, non buildup conditioning product and vitamins specific to male or female hair health.

Just as all living things grow with the help of sunlight, your hair can benefit from concentrated levels of light. The cool levels of laser light used in the new laser hair brush is safe and involves only light, not heat. This laser hair re-growth procedure is non-invasive, painless, and has no known side effects as long as you choose a device that follows FDA guidelines. In fact, laser hair brushes are often used in conjunction with hair restoration surgery as a healing method because of its skin repairing properties. Surgery and prescription medications can be much more costly, and not as safe. Since many of the medications that treat thinning hair are not prescribed to women, use of a laser hair brush is often the best option for female hair-loss patients.

The new laser hair brush with rows of diode lasers use a patented, hand held device which enables coverage of the entire scalp through the use of up to 36 diodes that are calibrated to precisely deliver consistent laser light at an optimum distance from each hair follicle. Low level light therapy or LLLT is referred to as a cold laser because it does not have any heat components. It is also described as a low-power laser, soft laser or therapeutic laser. The laser stimulates the follicles on the scalp helping to increase energy production thereby reducing the effects of protein blocking DHT enzymes, promoting hair thickness and density. This improved cell metabolism eliminates oxygen free radicals and improves blood flow to all treated areas. This non-invasive, painless laser treatment can make hair look fuller and shinier. Most people see results in as few as 6-8 weeks of laser therapy, but each user’s response varies on an individual basis, depending on their personal hair loss history.

LLLT administered to the scalp has been shown to improve the health of existing hair as well as stimulate new hair growth and stop hair loss. In the current age of men and women wanting to look younger and feel more confident in the workplace as well as in social circles, the laser hair brush seems to be the best method of obtaining all of this.

Summer is already here but these awesome tips can be used right now to stop hair damage and can be used all year long! Summer usually means sun, salt, chlorine, wind and drying heat. Short of covering up every inch of our locks, there is no way to get past these summertime pitfalls. However, there are ways to protect hair and scalp from the elements and pleasures of summer.

Sunscreen is a MUST whether we are at the pool, ocean or gardening….and not only for our visible skin, but for our scalp and hair. Hair usually worn down becomes tossed up in a ponytail or off we go in that convertible with our hair flying about. In the meantime, the sun’s rays are drying out our hair and beating down on our scalp. New sprays are out there that protect from the sun and can also protect from breakage and wind damage whether windsurfing or taking a wild convertible ride. Oil treatments can also help for hair after the party if we were just not prepared for the fun!

The scalp also can end up with an extra layer of buildup from sun damage flakes and extra product. There is a fun scrub to make that just screams summer. This scrub lets conditioners work on hair and scalp after they have scrubbed away all of the excess. Just squeeze some shampoo into your palm and add a tablespoon of granulated sugar (it’s better on than IN our bodies!)…then mix and add to your head. Massage into your scalp to exfoliate. As the sugar melts away and the shampoo rinses out, your hair and scalp feel a new type of clean! And, the $ you save can buy you an umbrella drink!

Color is also affected by the elements, but once it starts to fade it is too late. Instead, think ahead and use a raw honey mask instead of conditioner the first time you wash your hair after coloring. All it takes is ¼ cup of raw organic honey and enough water to make a mixture you can easily spread on your hair. Leave it in place for 15 minutes and rinse out thoroughly. Add lavender or chamomile for a lovely scent! You can also research conditioners that are specifically made for color-treated hair. Either way you’ll keep your color and shine longer!

Clarifiers also come in handy to keep strands from looking dull and going flat. The difference between limp and luscious is the removal of the buildup of silicones in shampoos and conditioners. Clarifiers can be used once a week. Just wash twice with a clarifier then condition. Big disclaimer here…do NOT use on color treated hair or you will be back to the salon in no time!

Frizz is another condition that LOVES to come out in the summer months! Heat causes curls to unfurl like a flag on the 4^th of July and straight hair to frizz like fireworks! Style extenders can be applied to damp hair and then you can blow-dry, curl OR straighten. The heat from your device activates the ingredients which hydrate hair and block humidity.

If it’s the AMOUNT of hair that you have or don’t have that bothers you, then the latest in a thinning hair treatment is laser hair therapy. A laser hair brush can be used every other day for 15-20 minutes per treatment to stimulate the scalp’s follicles and allow them to produce a thicker, shinier hair shaft. Any viable follicle will respond to the increased blood flow and added nutrients it receives. Using a laser hair brush for hair loss will increase the volume and the quality of your hair. Head into Summer with confidence and some shiny, healthy locks!

Of course Stars NEVER age! That’s the way it seemed until we got high definition TV and IMAX screens. I believe these inventions were funded by the folks who invented Botox and Chemical Peels! As time has gone on, we actually do see our favorite actors aging gracefully on screen and “old actors” are now Stars, not just walk-on bits playing grandpa or grandma. Faces are one part of our looks, but I think the first thing we notice is our hair. A full, shiny head of hair can make you look years younger just as whiter teeth and smoother skin do…on screen and off. So, what is the secret to making hair look so great? Here’s what some famous hairstylists and their Star clients say.

Most hairdressers have been recommending washing and conditioning your hair 2-3 times a week with a good product that doesn’t dry it out. Brittle hair allows breakage, thinning and dullness. Lately there has been a trend toward “mopping up” oil on the scalp and distributing it to the ends to fight the effects of blowouts. Dry shampoos (remember baby powder in the good old days?) and blowouts allow a patron to wash only once a week, and that is the new way to lessen damage. I just read not to towel dry your mane as that causes breakage…just to pat and rake with a wide tooth comb to detangle. Of course the new ionic dryers supposedly dry faster and damage less, but it all seems like we are talking about a difference only as wide as a hair!

Eating properly and living a good lifestyle are important to hair health, but the exercise we do to keep up our heart, lung and body health can disrupt a hairstyle faster than anything! From swimming to sweating on the elliptical, sweat mats our hair and distributes salts and oils from our scalps down the hair shaft. Chlorine dries out hair and changes its color and shoving hair into a cap or up in a ponytail is breakage-causing as well. Silk hair ties and sweatbands along with dry shampoos to the rescue. It seems like it’s a “catch 22”…we exercise to look beautiful and spend a ton of money and time “fixing” the damage after exercise!

All of this is a moot point however, if our hair is thinning or disappearing altogether! Naturally, there are a plethora of thinning hair treatments for men and women out there being sold. Everything from creams to surgeries are on the internet as the latest natural hair loss treatment or grandma’s old time remedy or state of the art laser hair restoration. Which one is the best? It depends on how much money and time you are willing to put out. To me, creams are messy and cumbersome and come with little proven results. Shampoos and conditioners that coat the hair shaft to make it thicker end up clogging the hair follicles we need to produce a healthy, thick hair. Medications taken are very costly and any extra pills or prescriptions I don’t have to take, the better. Surgery is costlier yet, and the major downside aside from expense and time is the fact that eventually we run out of places to take the hair from on our scalps and thinning hair shows telltale scars. We CAN just shave our heads and have hair tattooed on, (yes, there is a market for this) or we can use the latest technology available for almost every ailment out there, the laser.

Nutreve’s Personal Hair Therapy Laser is the most efficient laser hair brush as it is cost effective (a one time charge of around $600 with rechargeable batteries), portable (no cords), lightweight, discreet, shareable (friends and family have the same problem, face it!), ergonomic (comfort grip handle and curved surface), efficient (35 laser diodes that pulse), has a hands-free option (genius) and actually works! It has such a wonderful manufacturers and consumer satisfaction guarantee that purchasing one is a no-brainer.

This method of laser hair therapy is used only 15-20 minutes every other day and you start seeing results in 30 days.

This is ONE secret WORTH sharing!!!
