Until now, it has been difficult to stop hair loss and to activate new hair growth with the methods already known in Europe and the USA. Classical hair cosmetic products (which mostly contain minoxidil as the active ingredient) only show very limited effects, while medical products that use finasteride as the active ingredient are very controversial due to their dangerous side-effects, and they may only be used by men.
Hair problems are frequently symptoms of an unhealthy life style and unprofessional grooming. Alcohol, cigarettes, wrong nutrition, stress and lack of exercise lead to an over acidification of our body.
Accumulated waste products prevent cellular activity. Fewer and fewer vitamins, mineral nutrients and trace elements reach the areas in which they perform their essential tasks – the hair root! Hence, the hair starves!
This is where we intervene and tackle the problem at its “root”.
The mother cell (=birth place of our hair) can be activated through particular treatment. Hair similar substances are infiltrated all the way into the hair root. The scalp is ridded of wastes through lymphatic drainage and physical treatments.
This is how the Transport of Nutrition can be Safeguarded. Of course there are numerous other potential causes, which are responsible for hair loss.
In the course of an exact analysis of the scalp and hair roots, by a well-founded trichological consultation and the opportunity for more medical examinations, we can determine the cause of hair loss through an individually designed combination of therapies.
Every problem solving attempt requires an active cooperation and teamwork between our clients and us. Only a healthy life style and application of special hair growth promoting products to be used at home, can assure a successful therapy.
The following hair problems are easily overcome with an appropriate treatment.
- Causes
Poor diet, sluggish metabolism, stress, hormonal imbalance or infection can all increase cell renewal on the scalp, meaning an increase in sebum. The scales will absorb some of the excess oil, but the problem will worsen unless treated.
- Solutions
Brush the hair before shampooing, using a mild anti-dandruff shampoo to loosen the scales. Follow with a treatment lotion. Avoid excessive use of heat stylers. If the problem persists, consult your family doctor.
This produces tiny pieces of dead skin that flake off the scalp. The scalp can be red or itchy, and the hair looks dull.
- Causes
Hereditary traits, stress, shampoo residues caused by insufficient rinsing, lack of sebum, harsh shampoos, air conditioning, pollution and central heating.
- Solutions
Choose a moisturizing shampoo and use a conditioner with herbal extracts to help soothe the scalp.
Fine hair tends to be limp, looks flat and does not hold a style
- Causes
The texture is hereditary, but the problem is often made worse by using too heavy a conditioner, which weighs the hair down. Excessive use of styling products can have the same effect.
- Solutions
Wash the hair with a mild shampoo and use a light conditioner. Volumizing shampoos can help give body, and soft perms will make the hair appear thicker and the style fuller.
Frizzy hair results from air moisture being absorbed into the hair. The hair looks dry and lacklustre, and is difficult to control.
- Causes
Can be inherited or caused by rough treatment, such as too much harsh brushing or pulling the hair into bands.
- Solutions
When washing the hair, massage the shampoo into the roots and allow the lather to work to the ends. Apply a conditioner from the mid-length of the hair to the ends, or use a leave-in conditioner. The hair is best styled with gel, applied when the hair is wet. The hair can also be dried naturally.
Split ends occur when the cuticle is damaged and the fibres of the cortex unravel. The hair is dry, brittle and prone to tangling and can be split at the end.
- Causes
Over-perming or colouring, insufficient conditioning or too much brushing or backcombing. Careless use of rollers and hairpins, excessive heat styling and not having a regular trim.
- Solutions
Split ends can't be mended; the only long-term cure is to have them snipped off. What is lost in the length will be gained in quality. Shampoo less often and never use a dryer too near the hair or set it on too high a temperature. Try conditioners and serums that are designed to temporarily seal split ends and give resistance to further splitting.
