Nourish your hair…for GOOD by feeding it inside and out. Our hair is built of proteins (80-90%), so along with a balanced diet to get you the vitamins and minerals you need, make sure to eat protein-rich foods as well. Great sources are organic, grass-fed chicken, beef, cheese and eggs. If you are vegetarian or vegan then plant-based substitutes to get you the protein you need are legumes, nuts, tofu, seeds and hemp (hemp seeds are nutty tasting and delicious!). Eating at least 5 ounces daily (150 grams) will do it. For those vitamins (especially B) eat kiwi and pumpkin seeds. Healthy hair also needs the essential fatty acids from such sources as walnuts, avocados, flaxseeds and wild salmon. Important minerals for healthy hair production are zinc (found in seafood and legumes), silica (found in potatoes, red and green peppers and bean sprouts) and magnesium (found in green vegetables and nuts). Diets low in iron can also contribute to hair loss or poor hair quality, especially in women.

Our hair follicles are considered a “non-essential tissue” by the body’s computers, and therefore they are one of the last to receive nutritional substances. Anytime our bodies go for too long without enough proteins and other nutrients necessary for optimum growth, these follicles which produce our hair cannot keep up and our hair begins to thin and fall out. Before this, the hair shafts begin to show a lack of optimum health by becoming duller and prone to more breakage as they grow out. Due to a decreased capability of the follicle, the hair that is produced is thinner as well.

We also need to feed our hair on the “outside”. There are many new “hair systems” out now that claim to contain (elastic) proteins to coat the hair shaft and make it more resilient and resistant to breakage. The way some of these sound, it seems that they are claiming to “revive” your hair even if technically it is dead tissue once it leaves the follicle chamber in your scalp. However, many of these products do coat the strands or keep the scalp clear of built-up oils that can clog the follicles. Clogged follicles become constricted and end up producing a finer hair that has less sheen. Part of this is due to the physical constriction and part is due to a lack of air circulation that keeps your scalp healthy. Beware of super drying shampoos, however. You may feel like your scalp and hair are squeaky clean, but scalp and hair (just like skin) need some oils to keep from drying out and flaking or breaking. The perfect balance is what we are striving for here.

 

So, feed your body properly in order to feed your hair from the inside, and make sure hair is cleaned but then fed with good conditioners on the outside. Sometimes outside influences (dry heat, prescription medications, illness or stress) damage our follicles and we need an extra boost to make our hair fuller, shinier, stronger or even to fill in balding patches where follicles are beginning to fail all together. In that case, an increase in the blood flow that actually carries the nutrients to the follicles may need a boost. The Nutreve Personal Hair Therapy Laser uses cool laser waves to stimulate the blood flow at the correct depth of the follicles creating a natural thinning hair treatment. This laser hair brush feeds the root of your hair, so it is not only fed inside and out, but also nourished from the bottom up!

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!!!
