Images International offers free consultations which include a hair and scalp analysis.  What is a hair and scalp analysis and why is it important?

Experiencing hair loss as a woman is extremely common.  Women may experience hair loss or they may experience hair thinning and in some cases they experience both.  This can be caused by a number of factors.  For women, hormones can play a role, thyroid hormones as well as fluctuations due to menopause contribute.  Nutritional deficiencies can be a culprit as well as poor overall health.  Stress, genetics, behavior and chemotherapy have all been linked to hair loss.  Figuring out what is causing your hair loss is the first step in solving the problem.

1. The average person has 100,000 – 150,000 hair follicles.

2. Once a hair follicle dies it is dead forever.

Since Images International has become a Trichology Certified salon we have been focused on more than just healthy hair.  We know that healthy hair stems from a healthy scalp.  If you’re not caring for your scalp, now is the time to start.  More and more evidence suggests that regular scalp care can lead to thicker strands and it can even prevent hair loss. 

When you start to notice your hairline receding or your crown starting to become thin you may become worried about how you’ll look as your hair loss progresses.  Unfortunately, there is no cure for hair loss, however there are things you can do to slow down the process and make your hair appear healthier.

There is some news buzzing this week from South Korea.  Scientists feel they are on track to create a cure for hair loss.  This exciting announcement comes from a team at Yonsei University that has found that two specific proteins bind together to prevent follicle regeneration.  Simply put, there is a protein that controls hair growth and they can control the function of that protein with a new substance called PTD-DBM. 

On October 3, 2017 Images International held it's 2^nd Annual Women's Hair Loss Seminar.  Women were welcomed to join us for an evening of education about the causes of hair loss and the solutions available to them.  The special evening was finished with each participant receiving a hair and scalp analysis and a private consultation with a hair loss expert.  Each woman was able to receive answers for their own specific hair loss situation.
