Over the years it’s always been perfectly acceptable for men to let their hair go gray. In fact, men with salt-and-pepper hair are called “distinguished.” Women, on the other hand, are more often referred to as “older” or “matronly.”

And even though most people associate gray hair with aging, some women can see gray hair as early as in their teens.

To simplify the “sciency” details of why your hair turns gray, here’s what happens:

You have cells called melanocytes that become defective or die off. These are the cells that produce the pigment known as melanin that give your skin and hair its color. Genetics, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disorders, smoking and vitiligo (a skin condition that causes loss of pigment) are just a few things that can cause your hair to lose its natural color.

Severe stress can contribute to your graying hair as well, because it contributes to free radical damage. “Graying could be a result of chronic free radical damage,” says Ralf Paus, professor of dermatology at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Lubeck, Germany.

According to the book, Beauty Bias: Discrimination and Social Power by Bonnie Berry (Praeger, July 30, 2007), “Three out of four middle-aged women color their gray hair as do 13 percent of middle-aged men.”

But have no fear. Scientists have been working on the antidote for gray hair for years.

In fact, scientists at French cosmetics company L’Oreal have already identified the genes that may play a key role in gray hair, and they’ve been working on a treatment. “We could be talking about a pill or we could be talking about a topical treatment,” says Dr. Bruno Bernard, the lead researcher in this study.

Whether you color your hair or let nature take its course is a personal decision. Only you can decide what’s right for you.

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.

But a stylist I came across – Sanda Petrut from Maxine Salon in Chicago – has got you covered. In fact, she recommends purposely running around with day-old hair every now and again because it’s actually good for your hair.

“Not washing your hair daily allows for the natural oils to develop, which gives hair plenty of movement, separation and sexiness,” she says. It can make hair easier to style and save you time and energy.

Here are Sanda’s suggestions:

• If you want to add mega-volume to seemingly lifeless locks, try this: Before you go to bed, take your hair and lift it vertically to create a high ponytail on top of your head, making sure it’s not too tight. By sleeping with your hair up like this, you’ll create natural fullness and lift in your hairstyle the following day.

  You can also add mousse to dry hair, fluff it until it dries and brush it out. The results are instant shine and fullness.

• For longer hair, add more texture and body by using a 1½-inch curling iron and curling random pieces. You can also re-blow dry hair using a large round brush.

  For short hair, tuck your hair behind your ears and then change the direction of your bangs.

• If you want laid-back, yet sexy “beach-y” hair, try this: Before going to bed, mist your hair with water and create loose braids. In the morning, undo the braids and brush it gently. If you have bangs, mist with water and re-style them.

  Want more wave? Just use a big curling iron, 1 inch to 1¼ inch.

• Got another night on the town? Part your hair down the middle and start braiding your hair on both sides of your head towards the back, twisting the braids into a nice bun and then leave the ends sticking out.
  This simple, no-fuss style is easy to put together, yet will elegantly polish off any evening look.

Have a Youthful Day,

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.

She was embarrassed to admit it, but she had been using hair spray and products that are designed to disguise balding in men – like that paint stuff – for years. And she never thought there was anything she could do about it, so she never mentioned it to me.

I used to see this kind of thing rarely, but now I’m seeing it all the time. In the last fifteen years I’ve been practicing, this problem has at least quadrupled.

Fortunately, you can stop this from happening to you.

Today, I’m going to show you how to do two simple things so you can keep a full head of thick shiny hair.

First, let me explain a little about why this is happening…

It starts with a modern epidemic that’s going on – an epidemic of too much estrogen. You’re getting it in your food, and from chemicals in the environment which act like estrogen when they get into your body.

What this does is cause a “feedback inhibition” in your hormone system. It causes you to produce less follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). They normally stimulate the ovaries to produce both estrogen and progesterone.

Your estrogen is going to be fine, but that decreased production of FSH and LH cause a decrease in progesterone. It has no dietary source, so it then becomes very low.

Here’s where the problems for your hair begin.

Progesterone’s normal role is to give you your sexual features like an hourglass figure, but it also binds to the same receptors as testosterone. It normally blocks the effect of testosterone so it won’t cause masculinization.

When you don’t have progesterone, the testosterone can take its place. So what we have today is a whole generation of women who are getting unwanted facial hair, and they’re getting hair loss in a male pattern from the effect of testosterone, which turns into the hair-blocking hormone DHT.

Normally a woman doesn’t have much DHT because it’s blocked by the progesterone. But with all the estrogen women are getting, progesterone plummets and you have hair loss.

The solution is to stimulate your scalp for healthy blood flow, and block the bad guy that may keep your hair from growing.

The bad guy is DHT (dihydrotestosterone). As DHT forms in your body when you have too much estrogen, it collects in the sebum gland in the scalp and starts to attack your hair follicles. Your strands can shrink and eventually fall out.

So stopping DHT is one effective way to help your hair. But it’s only the first part of hair health. There are also a few other little-known but direct and dynamic ways to get shiny hair that has luster and thickness. You can use them to:

• Stimulate your scalp – There’s an herb not many people know about that can stimulate blood flow especially to the small capillaries like the ones that feed the hair root. It’s called fenugreek, and it’s also one of the best herbs to use if you have toxins or other scalp buildup.
• Enhance thickness – You might think of ginseng as just a feel-good herb, and it is. But when you use it in your hair, it also increases scalp stimulation in a way that gives you healthy hair depth and keeps each strand thick and strong.¹
• Keep a full mane – To help stop the hair-blocking hormone DHT, you can use arctium majus root. It helps condition your skin while it keeps DHT from attacking your hair.
• Rescue your hair – Amino acids are the building blocks of hair structure, so it’s essential to feed your hair with the ones that help the most. Like acetyl tyrosine, citrulline, and ornithine HCL. They promote healing and repair in your scalp, and help bring out your fullest, healthiest hair.
• Deliver the nutrients – B-vitamins are essential to grow healthy hair and nails, but it’s not easy to get enough from food. Two in particular, biotin and niacinimide, get used up growing and building healthy hair, so it’s important to replace them each day.
• Improve hair growth – B-vitamins perform a dual function for your hair if you use zinc gluconate… they team up to give hair follicles and your scalp with energy and strengthening. Without enough zinc, your hair shafts get weakened, causing hair breakage and very slow re-growth. They work together to decelerate hair loss and improve hair growth.
• Promote that shine – I don’t recommend eating soy, but it turns out to have great benefit for your hair. Hydrolyzed soy protein can give you shinier, thicker hair that stays moisturized.

Unfortunately, pattern hair loss is very severe in the women I see. To where if I part the hair, I see bare scalp.

Then they tend to use a lot of cosmetic things to try to hide it…

That can make the problem worse. That’s why I created a formula for the patients in my clinic who come to me asking if they can do something about thinning hair.

And I’ve had a lot of success with it. Many of my patients are so thrilled they write to me and tell me that their hair looks twice as thick. That they’ve stopped seeing hair in the shower drain, and that their hair is as shiny as a teenager’s.

S.W. told me she hasn’t had to cover up her hair with a hat in over a year.

I’m so happy for all of them. Because I know having a full head of thick shiny hair is every woman’s dream. And I know it makes you feel young and desirable, too.

That’s why I’ve decided to offer this formula to you. I call it Infuse.

Just two convenient spray applications each day and Infuse gets deep into your scalp, down where the roots are. Infuse replenishes those roots and stimulates normal hair growth.

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.

But when you start seeing more and more hair going down the drain every morning when you take a shower, it can take a real toll on your esteem and your confidence.

The good news is, there are some natural remedies you can try to help combat thinning hair and help your hair look thicker and more luscious than ever before. The secret lies in blocking the deteriorating effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the naturally produced metabolite that causes hair loss.

Some vitamins and nutrients that can help “feed your follicles” and decrease the potent DHT are:

• Fenugreek – Chinese traditional medicine has used Fenugreek for more than 2000 years. Fenugreek can stimulate your blood circulation and promote the appearance of a full, luscious head of hair.
• Panax Ginseng Root – Increases scalp stimulation, enhancing hair depth and thickness
• Articum Majus Root and Saw Palmetto – Help block DHT, one of the main causes for hair thinning
• Arginine, Acetyl Tyrosine, Citrulline, and Ornithine HCL – These amino acids are the building block of hair structure
• Biotin, Niacinimide – B-vitamins that help block the conversion of testosterone to DHT and regulate cellular nutrition
• Zinc Gluconate – Teams with the B-vitamins to block DHT
• Panthenol and Hydrolized Soy Protein – Proteins to shine, thicken and moisturize hair

These nutrients can help reinvigorate your scalp and restore it to good health. But these solutions may not work for everyone. There could be other underlying reasons for your hair loss. But give it a try and see if it works for you.

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.

Shikakai gently cleanses and conditions, leaving your hair healthy and beautiful.

Women in India have gorgeous hair. And their long, thick tresses aren’t just because they have “good genes.” For countless centuries, Indian women – from wealthy maharinis to poor farm girls – have been washing their hair with shikakai.

Sometimes called “soap-pod,” shikakai is the dried and powdered fruit of an acacia tree. In India, this tree has been a part of herbal tradition since the earliest times. And its fruit has long been prized for its effect on hair.

The name “shikakai” actually comes from ancient Hindi words meaning “fruit for hair.” And if there was ever a fruit to give you more beautiful hair, shikakai is it.

Shikakai is loaded with natural chemicals called saponins. These chemicals have a mild lathering and cleansing effect. Shikakai saponins clean hair effectively, and leave your hair shiny and manageable instead of dry and frizzy.

Shikakai is also a great hair conditioner. This gentle cleanser doesn’t strip the natural oils from your hair, so it helps keep your hair soft and flexible. You naturally get that beautiful “bounce” that says your hair is healthy.

And because shikakai doesn’t remove your hair’s natural oils, you won’t have the tangle problem you do with so many commercial products.

All this makes shikakai an ideal natural shampoo. But it may do much more besides.

Researchers at India’s Sigma Institute of Pharmacy recently looked at many of the herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine. They noted that shikakai promotes hair growth and helps prevent dandruff.¹

Added to everything else shikakai does for your hair, this puts it miles ahead of any of today’s commercial shampoos.

Shikakai doesn’t lather as much as commercial shampoos… but don’t be fooled. It provides terrific cleansing action. And as a conditioning treatment, it’s hard to beat a paste made from shikakai powder left on your hair for a couple of hours.

Keep on Stylin’!

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.

The hot sun, chlorine, salt water and over-washing can result in dry, dragged down, dingy hair by the end of the summer. But I know some great ways to restore the health of your hair this fall:

1. Classic pony. A ponytail can look quite sophisticated for work and play. It keeps your hair from being in your face and can cover some of the damage you encountered over the summer. Visit your nearest beauty supply store and pick out some pretty, unique clips and clamps to help spice up your ‘do. Get creative!

2. More moisture. Shampoo can be drying so be sure to wash it less often to restore moisture. You also can also use products that are less drying (alcohol free) and more moisturizing.

   Don’t be afraid of a leave-in conditioner – even if your hair is fine. It will help keep your hair from frizzing. Use cooler water for rinsing as well. The sensation can be quite invigorating and will leave your scalp and body feeling refreshed.

3. Trim those ends. Get your ends trimmed on a regular basis. Hair starts splitting at the ends, so it best to cut them off before it can cause more damage. If you don’t get a trim regularly, the splitting will continue to travel down your hair’s shaft and cause a frizzy, unkempt look.

4. Nourish it. To keep your hair nourished, be sure to drink plenty of water and try a more natural selection of hair products. Ingredients such as lavender, chamomile, avocado and shea butter are great choices. See your stylist for other treatment options, too.

   Another thing I like to do is to give my hair a little extra love with homemade treatments and fun styles. Here’s a couple you can try yourself to keep your hair looking and feeling sexy all year long:
   

All these tips should have you come out ahead of the game this fall.

Keep On Stylin’!

Every day your skin faces opposition – whether it’s the pollutants in our modern environment or even harsh chemicals in many of the modern beauty products on the market today. These outside factors continue to rob you of your natural protection and deplete one of your most valuable resources.

Even foods in our modern diet that are full of preservatives and additives can deprive your skin of the valuable nutrients that it needs to stay in the best condition.

Luckily, all hope is not lost. Here at Dr. Sears’ clinic, he has created a number of revitalizing formulas to restore health and a youthful quality to the complexion. Even more importantly, these products are created without harmful chemicals that will coat the surface of the skin and strip it of its natural moisture.

If you want to:

• Have “college age” skin that everyone will notice. To prevent outside damage from causing premature wrinkles in your skin, resveratrol is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants on the market today. Resveratrol works to protect and heal damaged skin at the same time. How does it accomplish this? A team of dermatologists at the University of Wisconsin discovered that resveratrol can fight premature aging caused by sun exposure by working at the DNA level to neutralize damage.1

Although resveratrol is a fairly unstable antioxidant, when it’s blended in our Silk formula with natural avocado oil, glycerin, alpha-lipoic acid, and grape seed extract, it hydrates and protects aging skin at the same time.

• Turn heads with your amazing hands. The hands are often one of the first areas to show signs of age. That’s exactly why your hands need the same care and attention that you give your complexion each day. One of the most effective hydrating ingredients is hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water molecules.

• Enjoy the warm sunshine again. Most health practitioners today advise you to stay away from the sun. But you were designed to thrive in it. Your body makes natural vitamin D when you expose your skin unprotected to the sun each day. Just 15 minutes of sun exposure will give you the daily vitamin D that you need.

While chemical sunblocks protect from sunburn, they also effectively block vitamin D production in your skin. Rather than applying chemical ingredients to your skin, using a natural ingredient like zinc oxide in Solis will shield your skin from the sun’s rays while boosting your natural antioxidant defenses in one fell swoop.2

• Have Hollywood hair. Factors like car exhaust, wind, and pollution can damage your healthy hair. You can get movie-star, red-carpet-worthy locks by supplementing your hair with biotin.

Biotin is a derivative of vitamin B, and studies have shown that it creates stronger, thicker, and shinier hair by thickening the hair cuticle and improving elasticity.3 Infuse is formulated with biotin and other protective ingredients like fenugreek and panax ginseng root that will increase circulation in the scalp and improve hair thickness.

• Never have to act your age. Using a moisturizer that contains teprenone can turn back the clock on your skin. Teprenone stimulates healthy cell function and improves the overall quality of your complexion. This extract protects your skin at the DNA level by delaying the shortening of telomeres and halting the aging process.

A moisturizer like Revive uses teprenone to maintain healthy telomeres. This will visibly reduce the aging process to give you younger and fresher skin that people will notice.

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.

Before panic sets in, the good news is that you don’t have to fear premature thinning of hair with age as a woman. There is a solution available to you, but first you have to get to the root of the issue.

When I discussed this common problem with my good friend Dr. Al Sears, M.D., I was interested to find that most cases of thinning hair were actually hormone related. Even though this is pretty normal for men, it can also happen to us ladies.

The hormone to blame is called dihydrotestosterone, otherwise known as DHT. Dr. Sears told me something pretty interesting about DHT. Women struggling with thinning or receding hair usually have very high levels of DHT in their blood.

So what are we going to do about it? Dr. Sears cares just as much about restoring confidence in women as I do. He created a product called Infuse, a spray-on strengthening formula that blocks the damage caused by the hormone DHT.

In layman’s terms, Infuse gives your hair and scalp the nourishing vitamins and minerals it needs to promote thick, lustrous hair. Most importantly, Infuse is chock full of biotin, a form of vitamin B, which research suggests is exactly what you need to help promote the appearance of shinier, thicker and healthier hair. Biotin works to thicken the hair cuticle and increase elasticity for silky, vibrant, red carpet-worthy locks. Finally!

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Infuse also contains such natural ingredients as fenugreek, panax ginseng root, and the amino acids Arginine, acetyl tyrosine, citrulline and ornithine HCL. Fenugreek has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years to promote full, thick hair growth. Panax ginseng root stimulates scalp circulation, which enhances hair depth and thickness. And this group of amino acids works as the building blocks of your hair structure – just as Mother Nature intended.

What stuck out most for me about Infuse is the fact that it is completely free from harmful chemicals. I don’t know about you, but it just doesn’t make sense to treat thinning hair with harsh chemicals that have the potential to damage your scalp even further!

Thinning hair can be devastating for anyone, but women especially need all the help that we can get to bring that volume and life back into our hair. I’ve been using Infuse myself along my hairline because I have to admit that I’ve overdone it with a few too many hair weaves and chemical treatments over the years. And it’s really made a difference. It’s no wonder that Infuse is so popular with my female clients in my salon – it can finally make you feel like yourself again.

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.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Let me explain …

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

Biotin is found in low concentrations in the brain, liver and muscle tissue in your body. And it helps promote healthy blood cells, nerve tissue, skin and hair. This vitamin is created from the yeast and good bacteria in your body. It works by helping your system produce keratin, the protein responsible for keeping your hair shiny and healthy.

Your best option for boosting this vital vitamin in your system is to eat foods that are biotin-rich, such as the hair, nails and hooves of animals. And back when your ancestors ate all parts of the animal, biotin deficiencies weren’t a problem.

But chances are you won’t be willing to ground up some hooves to sprinkle on your salad.

Animal organs such as chicken liver (170 mcg) and kidney (42 mcg) are also good sources of biotin, but not exactly part of our modern diets.

To a slightly lesser degree, you can get biotin in eggs (25 mcg), salmon roe (15 mcg), raw oysters (10 mcg) and lobster (5 mcg).

An extra boost of biotin is a great way to improve the appearance and feel of your hair, but unfortunately, even if you eat the proper foods, it’s going to be difficult to get the amount you need to see a difference.

You see, the biotin in food is usually attached to a protein. And many times the protein makes it hard for your body to absorb the biotin and make use of it. That’s why I suggest taking a biotin supplement daily.

But be careful which supplement you choose.

Biotin is not stable and is easily destroyed by heat. Like the kind of heat created by your body. And the majority of supplements available at your local drug store or health-food store don’t have the right combination of ingredients to prevent this from happening.

That’s why I developed Primal Force Biotin. This supplement is designed to allow for maximum absorption into your body. And just one pill contains the perfect dose of 5,000 micrograms to help you grow strong, shiny, manageable hair.

Like all of my supplements, Biotin is backed by my 100 percent guarantee. If you don’t get the results you are expecting or if you change your mind for any reason, you can always get your money back, guaranteed.

To Your Good Health,

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.

But after all that pulling and tugging, it can leave you with a very unhealthy scalp and hair. And even more frustrated than you were before by all your efforts to make your hair look full and sexy.

Let’s face it, gals, isn’t that all we really want? Sexy, lustrous locks!

With more and more of my older female clients looking as bald as their husbands, I decided to do my own research. There just had to be a solution.

So I decided to ask Dr. Sears about it…

Turns out, in most cases, there’s a hormone culprit at the root of the problem. An imbalance of this hormone is usually the case with the guys, but can also happen to women. It gets even worse as we age, and that’s exactly what I was seeing in my salon!

But to explain why that’s happening to us women, I have to get a little more technical…

Now, are you ready for this? The hormone has a big, fancy name, “dihydrotestosterone.” But don’t let that bother you too much. We’ll just call it “DHT” for short.

The point is, if women with the pattern of a receding hair line and hair thinning over the crown were to get tested, the results would most likely show a high level of DHT in their blood.

Ready for the good news? Dr. Sears has a solution. It’s called Infuse…

Infuse is a spray-on strengthening and thickening formula that blocks the deteriorating effects of DHT. It also helps to replenish your scalp and hair by redistributing vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the growth of vibrant hair. It literally feeds new life into your hair follicles, revives your scalp, and brings your hair back to life.

Studies on Infuse show that it:

• Reduces the appearance of hair loss
• Gives you thicker, stronger, silkier, shinier hair
• Helps diminish scalp irritation

So there is hope for us all!

I’ve been using this product myself, especially on my hairline, which has been abused by chemicals and hair weaves over the years. I can’t tell you the difference it has made to my life. My salon clients refuse to go without it.

I’m sure it will work for you as well.

Here’s how you can try it yourself…

Keep on Stylin’!
