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.
Biotin – The Hair Vitamin

Does your hair break more easily? Are you seeing more hair in your brush?
This isn’t uncommon.
Many of my female patients are concerned about the health of their hair … especially brittle strands. They’ll usually cut their hair short to keep it manageable and looking somewhat healthy.
Some spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on special potions and lotions for their hair but they might not get the results they want. You see, some of these products contain toxic chemicals that can be harmful to your health. Some people just accept that their hair is destined to look thin, brittle and dull for the rest of their lives.
Biotin (also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H) has been used traditionally to promote hair health, strength and manageability by increasing hair elasticity and by thickening the strands of hair (and the cuticles of your nails).1

I’ve been a hair stylist for over 20 years, and I’ve seen it all when it comes to thinning hair. Lots of guys and girls who come to my salon have this problem. Especially as they get older. And believe me, it can be devastating.
They come to me full of frustration. They’ve tried everything – from hair extensions to all kinds of gooey hair products that only fake the funk.
Thinning hair and balding are much more common than you might think. You may be guilty of trying some of these trendy solutions yourself…
What’s Hiding in Your Shampoo?

Years ago, I discovered that certain shampoos were pretty much guaranteed to give me consistent “bad hair days.” My hair would either be dry and frizzy or limp and unmanageable.
Back then, I thought it was just my hair type.
Today, I know better. Turns out almost all commercial shampoos and conditioners are full of chemicals that will destroy the health of your scalp and hair…
Hair’s Worst Nightmare

From Japan to Brazil, and all around the world… the latest craze is to have silky, straight hair.
TV commercials, billboards, and magazines are full of flashy advertising for revolutionary products that promise to “improve the quality of your hair inside out.”
It all sounds wonderful, but at what expense? Has anyone ever stopped to figure out if it’s really worth it? Plus, what’s wrong with having curly hair anyway?
