My best advice is to stay away from chemical-laden pills, potions and hair-growth treatments.
If you want your hair to be thick, strong and shiny, here’s what you need to know…
Day-Old Hair… Should You Dare?
Some mornings I wake up and I’m not sure how I feel… should I or shouldn’t I?
There are women out there who are blessed with hair that looks better after a few days without washing. But if you’re like me, you may feel like you need to re-vamp yesterday’s perfect coif.
Problem is, you may just not feel like a hair wash. Or you might find yourself rushing to work.
Sometimes, there’s no time.

My patient S.W. wanted me to look at her cholesterol results.
Her doctor told her they were concerning.
But I ended up finding something that was much more concerning to me, and to her.
In examining her, I parted her hair to look at her scalp. I saw a problem I see much more often than I used to. She had very thin, sparse hair with a bald scalp that would remind you of an elder male.

While hair loss may not be life threatening, it doesn’t mean it’s not important – especially when it comes to women.
Hair loss is common subject among men, but you may be surprised to know that more and more women are looking for solutions to thinning hair, too.
As a woman, I know that your hair is your “crowning glory.” When it’s full and silky, you just feel younger and more beautiful.

Beauty isn’t just my job… it’s my passion. I love seeking out new ways to promote a natural, more youthful look. And sometimes, those “new” ways turn out to be very old.
That’s what happened when I came across shikakai (shee-ka-kai) a few years ago. No one I knew had ever heard of it… but it’s one of the oldest cleansing agents in the world.

Whew… it seems like summer was hotter than ever this year!
If you’re like me, you love going to the pool or beach. But these fun summer activities can leave your hair looking more than just a little parched.

One of the most embarrassing issues that we as women can struggle with is much more common than you may think. And no, it’s not menopause! It’s actually a problem that is hardly discussed in female circles: thinning hair.
So many women struggle with thinning hair, but most of us are too embarrassed to ask for help. As I thought to myself many times before – isn’t it men that are supposed to be going bald and not women?
For women with thinning hair, restoring health to their hair can also restore much-needed confidence. When your hair becomes thinner and patchier as a result of age, a poor diet, or even a medical condition, it can be devastating.
I’ve been a hairstylist for more than 20 years, and my heart goes out to all of the ladies who come into my salon hoping to mask their thinning hair with a brand-new hairstyle. They’re frustrated. They’re embarrassed. They’re at the end of their ropes because they’ve tried almost every hair care product on the market.

Women sometimes come into my salon complaining of “really bad dandruff.” They’ve tried all the usual scalp treatments, but nothing seems to work.
What they don’t realize is that unattractive flaky stuff that falls on your shoulders isn’t always dandruff. Sometimes it’s really psoriasis – and regular dandruff treatments just aren’t going to help.
Over seven million people suffer from this skin condition, so it’s not an uncommon problem. No one’s exactly sure what causes psoriasis. But many things can trigger a flare-up.
