October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Getting diagnosed with breast cancer is heart breaking and life changing.  Patients that undergo a certain type of chemotherapy, can experience hair loss which can be devastating.  If you are someone who is told that hair loss will be a side effect of your chemotherapy, we suggest that you handle this part of your treatment by trying to meet with a professional that can help you to select a wig that suits you and can mimic how you looked before the chemotherapy treatments.  It is best to visit a hair professional prior to your treatments as most people start to experience hair loss within the 1st -2nd rounds of chemotherapy. Having a wig to transition to that you feel great in, will help to make your road to recovery so much easier.

Recovering from temporary hair loss

Hair loss, may not always be permanent, there are times when you may experience hair loss for a short period of time. Temporary hair loss may be caused by a stressful life situation, medications or surgeries to name a few. Below are some ways in which you can overcome the temporary hair loss while at the same time, allow your hair to grow back in.

If you’re hair loss is occurring at the front of your hairline:
Bangs may be the answer. Have your stylist create a bang look by cutting your hair a little further back than normal. This will cover any thinning along the front hair line.

If you’re losing hair in your part:
Have your stylist show you how to create a criss cross look in your part. This will make your part appear fuller without having to do a lot of styling.

If you are experiencing hair loss all over your scalp:
If you find the hair loss is showing up in different parts of your scalp, you may want to consider a hairsystem. They are very easy to use, look natural and are not difficult to maintain.

Taking control of frizzy hair

Frizzy hair, it is hard to manage and hard to control, but one sure thing, is that frizzy hair lacks hydration.  You heard it right, when hair is frizzy, it is because the hair's cuticle, which is the protective outer layer of your hair, gets flayed out in different directions.  In healthy hair that is hydrated, the cuticle will stay sealed and the hair will be shiny and smooth.  Frizzy hair, can be controlled by reducing the amount of friction that is placed on the hair and as you know by now, hydrating the hair.  Frizzy hair, is also more prone to breakage and breakage can result in hair loss.  Here are a few tips on keeping your hair well hydrated:

• Start from the inside by making sure to drink plenty of water every day.  
• When you wash your hair, it is important that you never vigorously scrub it, doing so, can cause friction which can lead to frizzy hair.  
• Use products that are moisturizing and not harsh on the hair. Look at the ingredients and try to stay away from any shampoos, conditioners or styling products that contain high levels of alcohol or chemicals as these are things that will dry your hair.  
• Keep your hair hydrated. Try not to use high heat products frequently, they will dry out your hair when used too often.
