Where is my hair going?!

Do you feel like every time you brush or wash your hair you are going bald?

Please remember, number 1… you are most definitely NOT alone and this is something I hear daily in the salon.

Many things can factor, medication, season change, stress and good ol’ hormones hormones hormones. That is the one that is generally the culprit. Women and men go through many hormone changes throughout life.

Have you heard yourself say “I had so much hair when I was younger or, My hair was so much curlier or straight when I was younger?… Hormones…

I think the biggest changes I have seen in my clients is in their mid 40’s. This is when I have personally heard the most concerns from them. Thinning and or receding around the temples or thinning throughout is the most common.

I have, or should I say, had curly hair. I am 46 and a few years ago I started to lose my curls.

I never really had to “do” my hair when it was curly, I am still trying to figure out my new hair. And vice versa, I have many clients that their hair all of a sudden has texture. You are not alone!

Medication and certain health issues can definitely contribute to hair loss. Please, if you are very concerned, there is no harm in seeing your doctor.

Hey Curly Hair Gals! Let’s get you prepped for your next appointment

When visiting a stylist for the first time, I recommend coming into the salon with your hair on your favorite good hair day. Day 1? Day 2?, 3? Curly haired people know what this means! This way when you describe the beautiful quirks of your hair they can be seen… It is really hard to visualize textured hair when it comes out of a 3 day ponytail!
