Spring is basically here so be sure you’re prepared.  These 3 factors will help prepare those locks for the season ahead:

Spring Clean

Spring-cleaning can go a bit further than vacuuming and picking up around the house.  Spend some time evaluating your beauty products, for example you should get a new hairbrush every 6-12 months.

Using an overused, worn-out brush will show in your hairstyle.   Get a new brush to help your style and outlook on spring have a bit of extra spunk.  It’s probably a good time to stock up on more bobby pins and hair ties, as they frequently go missing for most of us. Whether it’s a new shampoo or styling products, Redken is a great brand to begin looking for new supplies!

Embrace a Lighter Style

Your hair goes through a beating in the winter.  Dry air can cause easy breakage, a lot of static and a serious need of a moisturizing treatment.  Thus, with spring around the corner it’s about time to refocus on getting your hair healthy.

Consider a simple, fresh cut or maybe even a new color.  Your hair is prone to breakage throughout the winter; one-way to refresh it is a new cut.  Dull split ends can drag down your hairstyle, making it look dull and unflattering.  If you typically done a longer hairstyle, having a few inches cut off will lighten up your do – readying for the warmer months.

Throughout winter, longer and darker hairstyles are quite the trend.  Now that spring is just about here, lighten up for the season with a lighter style.

Highlights are a great way to add a little light to your do – no matter your hair color.  For example, a nice caramel color highlight works well to lighten up a brunette’s hairstyle. If you’re looking for something a little more risky, try changing with an all over hair color.  The ombre hair color trend has been peaking its way into the scene, consider embracing the dark to light (from root to tip) style!

Cleanse and Clarify

Along the lines of rejuvenating your style, you may need to send your hair through a detox system.  It’s not as harsh as you may think!  Prepare for spring by getting the gunk out of your hair that’s been building up over the winter.

One of the best ways to detox is with clarifying products.  Clarifying shampoos will helps to remove deposits caused by hair products we all love to use.  By doing so, you’re hair will feel fresh and brand new!

After putting your hair through a clarifying process, embrace your new clean ends!  Consider a conditioning treatment. The heat indoors dries out your hair and if you use hot styling tools, you’re hair can use a little extra care. . Moroccan Oil products are great for the conditioning step.  Winter is harsh on your hair; embrace its exit by giving your hair a special treatment.

Encouraging existing hair cells to repair themselves. This process is fuelled by a natural engine – photo biotherapy – which works according to principles found in normal hair and cell repair.

Cells repair themselves when light is absorbed (on the right frequencies) – the light penetrates into the cell and stimulates blood flow and cell metabolism. The protein synthesis processes that may have stopped working properly in hair cells where baldness or thinning hair are a problem can be kick-started by the laser light, which gets deep inside the scalp tissue.

Baldness and thinning hair are themselves natural occurrences, caused by the normal development of the hair life cycle through the years. In some instances, though, the thinning or balding can be quite dramatic and upsetting for the patient. Laser hair treatment aims to slow and even reverse this degenerative process by stimulating hair roots to remain strong and re-grow at the end of their normal cycles.

All the hairs on your head will fall out at some point: you only go bald when they are no longer replaced by newer, younger ones. This process, the hair life cycle, is invariable amongst humans: everyone’s head is covered in hairs at every stage of the cycle, some old and waiting to fall out (leaving only the root behind); some young and still growing and some mature. At any given time, you will normally have a balance of hair in each stage of the cycle, thus giving you a full head of covering.

Where the covering is no longer full, there may still be roots present under the skin. The death of a hair follicle normally only includes its visible body – the root from which it grew remains under the pore and should sprout new young hairs in the fullness of time. Laser hair treatment may stimulate dormant roots into production, in the right circumstances, thereby noticeably rejuvenating the head.

In order for the treatment to work, the lasers must be used intensively and frequently. As with any therapy involving a laser, which is potentially quite dangerous when used unadvisedly or without expert attention, laser hair treatment must be completed in a qualified installation and carried out by competent and skilled technicians.

Laser hair treatment may not always promote growth where growth has stopped – but it is likely to halt thinning and balding for some time. It may also clear out debris from the hair shaft, essentially refurbishing the hairs of the patient so that his or her head of hair appears fuller and softer.

It is important to understand the causes of any given instance of baldness or hair thinning before a course of treatment is prescribed. The patient may have other factors affecting his or her current ability to maintain a healthy hair life cycle – nutrition, for example – and as such the courses of treatment most suited to her or his requirements may change from laser hair treatment to a different form of intervention.
