Press Room

Do you want thicker, healthier hair? Weak hair can result from a variety of factors – regardless of your hair’s natural texture – like an improper diet, styling abuse and even washing too frequently. Diligent use of reconstructive products and treatments are best for adding strength and resilience to your strands, making them stronger and healthier with time. And if changes in your hair are the result of pregnancy, illness or stress, chances are they’re temporary – your hair should be back to normal in next to no time.

Take your hair’s age into consideration
With age, our hair naturally begins to thin out, becoming finer and weaker. And, like most women, chances are that your hair will start to gray as it ages a sign that hair is definitely in need of color. But since the diameter of tan aging hair is more narrow, it’s often recommended to leave chemical products like dolor, perms and straightening solutions on the hair for less time than usual. This is because the hair shaft is thinner and takes a reduced amount of time to process the treatment. Leaving a chemical product on the hair for too long may actually increase the risk of breakage and damage, and can actually make the effects of the product opposite of what is desired.

A Diet for Healthy Hair:
Certain foods and vitamins have long been touted for their hair health benefits. For strong strands, load up on zinc, which helps to build and reinforce hair protein and cell production. Zinc is also key in maintaining normal oil levels in the scalp. Since zinc works best in conjunction with vitamin A, stick to foods that contain both, like spinach, peas and crabmeat. A lack of protein in your diet can affect the health of your hair. If you’re a vegetarian, it’s important to get the proper nutrients, so supplement your diet with protein-rich foods like tofu, nuts, milk, cheese and yogurt.
