When do you need extra supplements for your hair?  During times of stress and when you have medical issues or notice more than usual hair shedding to name a few.

Like skin cells, which renew and are shed daily, the hair follicle also sheds strands of hair.  It's in our DNA, and while there are average cycles, our hair strands are programed to be released, so that a new strand will replace it.  Think of eyelashes or body hair.. each person has different amounts and length and thicknesses.  Hair and nails are the last places to be fed in our bodies and therefore are good indicators to what is going on within us, that is out of the norm.

The average shedding of a head of hair is said to be 100 strands a day.  Do take into consideration what is normal for you, and that if you wear longer hair the shedding will be more obvious simply due to it's length.

If you are at concerned of excess shedding, try taking this supplement.  You do not need a prescription. A/G PRO by Miller can be picked up at your local pharmacy.  At Walgreens, you'll have to ask the pharmacist as it is kept behind the counter.
 
 

Color your roots, build body and a fresh scent..
Is Dry Shampoo that good?


I have discovered a really cool over the counter product that will give your limp hair more volume and control.  How easy is it?  Wow... it couldn't be easier... I first used this spray shampoo on 2nd day unwashed hair.  It made my hair smell good but it also gave it some texture just like the Name implies, however I don't always believe what I read... so was pleasantly surprised.

So, the following day I sprayed it into my freshly washed and dried (soft and limp) hair and it gave me the body and lift at the roots I usually only get on the 2nd day when all the hair product I use has built up and combined with natural scalp oils.  In a good way, the dry spray shampoo somewhat simulates this conglomeration.  It's combining a drying agent and blows colored powder between the hair follicles, plumping them up a little like a feather pillow.  Not to worry about 'drying' out the hair with this product.. it only absorbs the excess oil at the roots.

That brings to mind an old-school barber's trick that entails puffing the thinning hair of their gentleman clients with white powder and using hairspray to encapsulate the particles so that they give nearly same effect as the dry hair shampoo.  This is easier! 

Well, why not give it a try yourself, if you haven't considered it. As promised, it works great to refresh your hair if you don't have time to wash it and imparts a fresh, clean scent.  You'll love it especially if your hair is too soft and limp after a fresh wash.  And added bonus in the colored variety aids in blending away graying roots between color touch ups. 

July 22- Update:  I love the brunette to cover my new growth between color touch ups!  It's now my go-to solution especially when pulling my hair back.

Oct 23- Update:  Oh no... the product I'd come to depend on is discontinued.. (why is always like that?).. well there are others out there.  Currently I'm trying a different one and the verdict is still out.. it does the job however it's only 4 oz vs 6 oz for the same price. It is also a spray in... Salon Graffix in brunette.

I'm considering trying a powder next.. I'll update here after it comes in.

NOTICE.. the product displayed below is the discontinued item.. I'll get pics for the others soon.

This product will last you a very long time as it only takes a very small amount.  Use the back of a finger nail to remove a tiny bit from the jar (it's kind of a thick white waxy cream paste) and then massage lightly onto just your finger tips and begin pulling through the strands as needed to create this very Sexy contemporary look.   Water Wax by Redken is similar, but not quite.  Anyway, I must recommend this product very highly.

Go from fly-away hair to control in seconds.  Notice the hair styles I picked out that have more controlled look to them.. from short to long... it does the trick!

As a hair stylist, I just HAD to watch the reality show "Blow Out" starring celebrity stylist Jonathan.  He may be over-the-top, but I'd long wanted to try this particular product and finally got my hands on it to see if actually does the job as promised.
It looks like something they would have used in Robert Pattinson hair for his role in Twilight (Edward Cullen)!  It's a very current look.. Controlled messy... I like it.
