Many people are worried about hair loss these days. There are tons of articles on the internet that talk about the causes and prevention of hair loss. Of course, there are some myths related to this phenomenon as well and this article aims to bust that myth.

Myth: Frequent hair washing cleans dandruff but leads to hair loss.

Reality: Dandruff happens when your scalp is too dry or too oily, and daily hair washing can actually improve the problem without causing hair loss.

A lot of people prefer to wash their hair daily, which is good as it keeps your scalp clean. However, people who complain that daily hair washing leads to hair loss, should check the products that they apply to their hair.

A common (and neglected) cause of hair loss is using hair products that do not suit you. Many people just buy every new product that is launched in the market without realizing whether it’ll help them or not. And in some cases, they end up with negative results and get worried about hair loss.

The best option to try new hair products is to ask your hairstylist about them. Every salon has a wide range of various hair care products which they recommend to their clients. So the next time your stylist is snipping your hair with hair scissors, try and ask him/her about their opinion on which products you should use.

Your hairstylist would give you good recommendations after studying your hair and your needs. This will not only help you in having healthy and beautiful hair but will keep hair loss at bay.

A Way to Look Like Yourself

Posted at 2:00 PM • No Comments

A Texas hair stylist knows what it’s like to go through a hair loss experience – and she’s using that knowledge to help other women in the same circumstances get back to normal – or as close to normal as they can be.

With a 26 year career wielding hair shears, listening to her clients – and then battling hairloss herslef during a thyroid problem, Shelly Beatty is helping women with a new line of wigs called “Look Like Myself.” 

The program is an extension of the salon where she works, and it offers consultations to women losing their hair to medical reasons, and ensures they end up with a hair solution that is customized and doesn’t look like a stereotypical wig.

Meanwhile, Beatty’s hair has grown back, but she continues to help women deal with hair loss like she did. The salon has roughly six to 10 consultations each week with women who are seeking help for thin or lost hair. From wigs that give a client a full head of hair, to small partial hair replacement pieces, called Reprieves, there are hair solutions for every woman, Beatty said.

Providing guidance to women is something that Beatty learned from personal experience as well as from extensive training specifically in wigs and Reprieves – so she brings additional knowledge to the table as well. She said many women are intimidated when they are seeking ways to cover their head.

“You need some direction when you do that,” she said. “You’re already scared to death and you already feel bad.”

She’s hoping to eliminate this fear by working with the women who come to her and sharing her own experiences.
