treatments tailored for you. Take control of your hair health and regain confidence.
A substantial proportion of Men and Women are experiencing hair loss.
Around 95 percent of male hair loss is due to ale pattern Baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Studies show by age 35, more than two thirds of men suffer from hair loss, and by age 50, 85 percent of men are dealing with thinning hair.
Women have visible hair loss by the age of 40, due to stress, hormonal changes and maybe diet. Hair loss in both men and women can have an emotional impact on their self-image and their mental and emotional well-being.
Hair Follicle
Hair follicles are structures within your skin that grow your hair. You are born with millions of hair follicles in your skin. Each hair has a hair shaft and a hair root. The hair shaft is the visible part of the hair; the hair root is in the skin and extends down to the deeper layers. At the base of the hair, the hair root widens to a round hair bulb. The hair bulb contains a hair papilla, which supplies the hair root with blood and nutrients. New hair is constantly being made in the hair bulb. If the hair follicles are damaged, this can lead to hair loss or reduced hair growth.

How to maintain healthy hair during all four stages:
Healthy fuller hair depends on genetics and hormone levels, which are largely beyond our control. There are several lifestyle factors and hair care that can support the hair through these four stages:
- Good Nutrition:
Hair is largely made up of protein, therefore focus on healthy protein intake in the diet such as lean meat, fish, beans, legumes, and low-fat dairy products. Also, vitamins and nutrients are required for healthy hair growth, in particular: Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Iron (especially in women), Zinc, folic acid and Vitamin B12.
In addition to this Biotin, a vitamin H or B7, which is involved in fatty acid synthesis in the body is essential to the hair life cycle. Supplements can support the reduction in hair loss. - Reduced Stress:
Stress can accelerate the hair from the anagen phase to the telogen phase, and then into the exogen phase, double or tripling normal daily hair loss.
Learning to de-stress helps to avoid the acceleration of hair loss. With the help of yoga, meditation, breathing techniques or counselling and avoiding daily stressors in life you can reduce hair loss and have many positive health benefits. - Hair Care:
Healthy hair starts with choosing the right shampoo, opt for a product based on your hair type, such as fine hair, curly or dry/oily hair. Washing your hair to keep the scalp healthy and clean may protect from hair loss, however, use a mild shampoo to avoid breaking hair or striping the oils from the hair.
Using coconut oil or olive oil helps to prevent hair damage, and prevents breakage at the roots.
Gentle styling of hair, avoid tight braids or pony tails which can pull the hair out of the roots leading to excessive shedding. Also, let your hair air dry and do not tie it up whilst wet.
