Romancing the hair at La Relance Salon<br />
Just like our skin, our hair ages<br />
as well. Product lines are booming<br />
with sales for anti aging<br />
beauty products. But what does<br />
aging hair really mean?<br />
Teens to Twenty’s<br />
Hair is usually as healthy and<br />
attractive in its natural state as it<br />
will ever be. Even with coursetextured<br />
hair its natural state,<br />
after being tamed, will be shiny<br />
and full. Some people may have<br />
oily hair due to hormone changes<br />
or a poor diet. Washing daily<br />
with a balancing shampoo and<br />
rinse for the ends will help keep<br />
the skin calm. Dry it thoroughly<br />
to the scalp after washing to<br />
avoid skin rashes or itchiness at<br />
the nape of the neck. A balanced<br />
diet rich in Omega oils, calcium,<br />
and protein play an important<br />
role in healthy hair.<br />
Thirty’s to Forty’s<br />
Gray hairs that are thick and<br />
wiry often first appear now.<br />
Color is used to help smooth<br />
and bring back a youthful shine<br />
to the newly textured hair. Hair<br />
may start to feel thinner due to<br />
fewer active follicles and a decrease<br />
in the diameter of the hair<br />
shaft. Men may see this more at<br />
this age. Men should use a deep<br />
cleansing and stimulating natural<br />
based shampoo to increase blood<br />
flow to the scalp and follicle.<br />
Women that know thinning hair<br />
is genetically passed, should also<br />
properly cleans and stimulate<br />
there scalp to at least decrease<br />
the chances of losing more hair<br />
as they age. Many people choose<br />
to start using Rogaine to help<br />
stimulate new hair growth. This<br />
works but once the product is not<br />
used any new hair grown will be<br />
lost due to the active ingredient<br />
not being applied. To help support<br />
your hair continue a balance<br />
diet and take quality supplements<br />
to provide vitamins and<br />
antioxidants such as vitamins A,<br />
C and E, zinc and biotin.<br />
Fifty’s and Up<br />
Hair will become more fragile<br />
now. It is likely to break or suffer<br />
from exposure to UV rays and<br />
other stresses. Be cautious with<br />
old styling tools. Blow dryers<br />
and brushes need to be replaced<br />
at least every couple of years. If<br />
you are using a five-year-old hair<br />
dryer, it may be over heating and<br />
burning your hair as you dry it.<br />
Brushes can have bent bristles<br />
from being stuffed into cabinets<br />
or drawers, this will shred your<br />
hair as you are drying it and cannot<br />
be repaired only cut off.<br />
Overly highlighted hair will<br />
break and permanent all over<br />
hair color will fade from all of<br />
the new gray hairs. Your colorist<br />
will need to rebalance the<br />
ends of your hair at least every<br />
third color root touch up service<br />
with a completely different color<br />
formula to best treat the faded<br />
hair needs. This is an additional<br />
charge to your service but it is a<br />
must for any aging hair to look<br />
its best. Always use an integrity<br />
shampoo and mask, a rinse<br />
will usually not provide enough<br />
moisture to the original lack luster<br />
hair. Remember, just because<br />
you have colored your hair does<br />
not mean you have changed<br />
what your natural hair is. It will<br />
always be aging hair that needs<br />
the most attention to become full<br />
and shiny. Using triple threat<br />
products will leave your hair in<br />
a beautiful place creating thicker,<br />
fuller, and shinier hair both<br />
in look and feel. This is why<br />
working with a hair stylist that<br />
knows your hair is vital to finding<br />
the proper products and tools<br />
to get your best hair! It is not always<br />
a sales pitch when stylists<br />
are working with you to create<br />
your best hair. I have years of<br />
experience and knowledge readily<br />
available to help you. At La<br />
Relance I stand behind our products.<br />
It’s not easy when there is an<br />
over abundance of hair and skin<br />
care products retailed everywhere.<br />
Reviews will not work<br />
because no one has the same hair<br />
needs. So shopping on line is not<br />
your best option. I suggest that<br />
you schedule a blow dry with<br />
your stylist. Have a consultation<br />
about your hair needs and discuss<br />
what you have in your cabinets<br />
already. You may need to change<br />
just one thing or maybe get rid<br />
of it all, but talking through it is<br />
the best option. Bring the products<br />
and tools you have and use<br />
to that scheduled appointment,<br />
this will help you in so that you<br />
are not guessing the names of the<br />
many products you have stored<br />
so carefully in your cabinets<br />
throughout the consultation. You<br />
will be surprised how learning<br />
what to do with your products<br />
can change everything!<br />
