Shampoos seems like a necessity and a regular part of our daily or bi-weekly routine. But, what are we actually doing to our hair? Too little shampooing and our heads look greasy…too much and our hair is dried out, dull and flyaway. Shampoos that lather up, shampoos that don’t have suds on purpose, cream shampoo, dry shampoo…they all claim to be the best solution to giving us the best looking, healthiest hair. But, how much attention are we paying to our scalps? THAT is where our hair originates, and that is where we make or break the quality of our head of hair. Hair follicles must remain clear of debris to allow the hair shaft to grow and they must be fed by a healthy blood flow to keep them producing a thick and shiny hair shaft. As for shampoo, whichever one works to keep our scalp healthy is the one that is good for our hair. I believe in “mixing it up” a bit so hair never gets to greasy nor too dry, yet scalp stays clear…

A great way to keep our scalp’s follicles pumping out healthy new hair is to keep it fed, and the best thinning hair treatment is to make sure that blood is flowing to the base of each follicle. We all are starting to lose hair or our hair is getting thinner once we pass the thirty mark. Some of us keep our hair longer, some go completely bald at an early age, but we all could use the help of a natural hair loss treatment to keep all of our follicles firing on all cylinders BEFORE they start to slow down. Like the vast variety of shampoos, we also have options for keeping our hair vibrant.

Along with keeping a healthy body through proper diet and exercise, not smoking and not taking unnecessary drugs, we can use a laser hair brush for hair loss or thinning. Use of a laser hair brush only 15-20 minutes every other day will not affect any medications you may be taking, will not reduce the effectiveness of hair dyes or treatments and will definitely increase the proliferation of viable hair follicles. Hair follicles that were dormant or in their resting phase are awakened and the fine, thin hairs that they were producing will be growing thicker and fuller. Now, any follicle which is already dead will not start producing hair. This treatment for thinning hair is mostly about prevention…prevention of thinning or loss.

Several options exist, but basically the more actual lasers that are on the surface of the laser hair comb or brush the better. Don’t be fooled by LED lights either. Make sure that these cool, low level lasers (LLLs) are situated for targeting the base of the hair follicle. The LLL Therapy will penetrate and not damage the hair that you already have but it will increase the blood flow to provide nutrients and take away toxins from the bulbs of each follicle. Extra comforts would include a smooth surface so that its use does not feel uncomfortable.

An ergonomic handle and easy to clean surfaces are other plusses as well as rechargeable batteries. You do not want a cord to tether you nor to spend a fortune on batteries! There is only one company which has been clever enough to offer a hands-free stand that holds the laser hair brush so that you can sit under it with both hands free to read, knit, do crafts, etc. while you spend your 20 minutes of treatment.

The best laser hair therapy treatment is from the Nutreve Personal Hair Therapy Laser at about $599. This one time purchase can not only prevent thinning or lost hair, but it can help regain what we may have already lost just because we have not been aware of this amazing product. This advancement in laser hair restoration will give you thicker fuller hair so that your biggest worry now is WHICH shampoo is the best for you!

In fairytales Queens and commoners have looked in the mirror to find either a more wicked and ugly or a more beautiful and softer side of themselves. Others have passed through the mirror to enter another world altogether where time changes forward or backward for better or for worse! For us regular folk, we see change coming at us full throttle in the form of wrinkles, splotches, sagging and loss. Some of us go with the flow of natural aging and accept all of this change and others of us try to turn that clock back to an earlier time. What is the expression that says “it’s a good thing eyesight is one of the first things to go…otherwise we’d all go crazy seeing all the age spots, wrinkles and balding patches” or something like that. Well, let’s put on our glasses and look this one straight in the eye!

Creams and Botox can cure the wrinkles, acid peels and microderm abrasion can get rid of the spots, but what about a treatment for thinning hair? There seems to be a lot more choices and a lot of hype out there. Let’s get to the facts.

Hair follicles are a static number. We are born with a certain amount and as we grow from baby (baby fine hair) to young adult the production of hair increases and it gets thicker, curlier, straighter, blonder or darker with age. Every follicle takes a break now and then as it “rests” and then starts production all over again. Hair from these resting follicles drops out and we shed about 100 hairs per day on average. However, as we age, these follicles get tired just like us and either produce a mere shadow of their former selves or they give up completely. Unfortunately, this can even happen to us in our 30s and 40s. THIS is when we still have pretty good eyesight though…so it is not a pleasant sight! We need to find a healthy, natural hair loss treatment that can keep our youthful looks.

There is a shampoo revolution in the works. We went from washing hair only when it got uber greasy and we could spread out that “shine” with 100 brush strokes a day. Then we started washing our hair every day, with lots of suds and even lathering twice each time to have a clean, healthy scalp…but it also caused damage to the hair we did have. Next came the “suds are bad” phase. More shampoos touted a chemical free shampoo that uses only natural products to get out the grease. I still couldn’t pronounce anything much on the labels! The current trend is not to shower out (think hot water, chlorine AND shampoos) the grease, but to once again embrace it! No, not to look like a “hippy” but to apply a cream that is made of essential oils and aloe…then rinse it out and style. It is made to NOT have to be used with any conditioners, masks, oils or sprays that we’ve been using to put the life back into our hair after we’ve taken it out with shampoos.

So…now that we can keep it clean, we can hopefully keep our scalp clean too! Clogged pores or follicles can inhibit hair growth. But there is another factor that keep us from having a full head of hair. AGE. UGH! We cannot stop the aging process, but we can stop the aging of our follicles. With the latest device called a Personal Hair Therapy Laser, Nutreve has come up with the best laser hair brush on the market today. Its innovation in laser hair restoration is amazing. The smooth curved surface of the “brush”, so called as it is the size of a regular paddle brush, does not pull at your hair or hurt your scalp. Its 35 cool low level lasers (LLL) penetrate to just the depth of the hair follicle itself and stimulates the flow of blood to feed, nourish and remove waste from the follicle to allow it to produce the strongest, shiniest hair possible.

The science is behind it and it sure beats surgery, pills, messy goo on your scalp and all of the money that goes along with these “treatments”. For a one time purchases that uses rechargeable batteries and has an amazing satisfaction guarantee, there is no better male OR female hair loss treatment out there. Laser hair restoration is noninvasive and can be used on ANY hair type and for any ethnicity. With a clean head and a laser hair brush at work, you can safely check your reflection.

What’s in YOUR mirror?
