5 days clinic training and you call yourself a ‘Trichologist’ Really?

 

 

My views also on a ever increasing problem. ‘So called Trchologists’ that pray on the vulnerable and do not follow the true meaning and ethical practice of a clinical Trichologist;

  1. Investigation (of the patient’s presenting problem)
  2. Explanation (as to the type of hair or scalp problem the patient exhibits and contributing causes through the ‘evidence’ of pathology testing & results)
  3. Treatment recommendations (options, alternatives, as well as duty of care in suggesting same)

Do Protein Smoothies Cause Hair Loss?

Protein Smoothies

Can protein smoothies cause hair loss? Half of Europeans and Americans use supplements, according to recent statistics. By 2017, analysts estimate that the health supplement industry will grow to a staggering $36.1 billion. Protein shakes are among the most popular supplements available, often viewed as a relatively transparent and safe option for managing weight, muscle mass, and even sugar cravings. Now, fitness enthusiasts are concerned after a correlation between protein shakes and hair loss is sweeping the Internet. Continue reading

Don’t Brush For A Week?

Earlier this month there was an article in the Daily Mail which stated that the average woman has 103 hairstyles and three hair colours during her life. And, with trends changing so regularly and the latest celebrity looks having such a huge influence on women’s hair nowadays, I wasn’t particularly surprised by this figure.

Whatever your choice of styling, straightening, curling, twisting or plaiting that takes your fancy, there are many aids to help you styling or to help you achieve your desired look. However, the first thing  that most women reach for is the good old hair brush when styling.

Brushing your hair using a soft bristle brush stimulates the circulation in the tissue of your scalp and can help to keep your hair healthy – it’s not just about those tresses looking silky and sleek!

Despite this, I’d always recommend that unnecessary brushing, combing or handling is avoided, as it can lead to split ends and breakages, which could eventually lead to hair loss.

A lot of women over-brush their hair, both in terms of brushing for too long and brushing with too much force. This vigorous taming of locks can remove some of the hair’s cuticles, causing weak, dull hair – not to mention the amount of hair that’s actually pulled out as a result of the constant traction caused by brushing.

Understanding your hair is one step towards achieving healthy locks and with excessive heating and brushing, it’s just a matter of time before your hair becomes frizzy and starts to break off.

Banish those blow dries and ditch the brush for a month and see the results for yourself. Tweet me @dubaihairdoctor and let me know how you get on!
