Down with Dandruff

If you think Politics & Religion are taboo conversations to have at parties, ask about how to control your Dandruff problem…and you'll likely hear a pin drop! The turnover & renewal of skin is a natural process; however, the rapid scaling of the scalp is not. There is a volume of medical jargon that can describe exactly what's causing your dandruff…but, you're probably more interested in remedies at this point.

Here are some tips to help keep the flakes at bay:

• Use a dandruff treatment shampoo; one with zinc or selenium sulfide
• Wash your hair frequently to avoid build up of oils & styling products
• Rinse your hair thoroughly
• Avoid tight fitting hats
• Condition your scalp more frequently in the winter, as cold weather and dry indoor heating can exacerbate your dandruff problem

The Thin Line Between Thinning & Balding

Hair loss is a huge concern for men of all ages. Some men experience receding hairlines and other signs of impending hair loss by their late teens or early twenties. Middle-aged men almost always have some degree of hair loss or thinning. Those are the facts, now what are you gonna do about it?

Common Preventative Measures:

• DHT Blockers & Scalp Hyper-Cleaners: These products are engineered to fight the effects of DHT and improve the condition of your scalp. With little more effort than a 2 minute scalp massage, these topical solutions work to improve nutrient intake, stimulate circulation, balance sebum (oil) production and eliminate free radicals — resulting in optimal scalp and hair health.
• Get a scalp massage: Studies indicate that improved stimulation to the scalp helps improve the overall health of your scalp and hair follicles.
• Don't wear tight hats.
• Olive oil & garlic wash.

In most cases, thinning hair is inevitable. There are steps to take right now to fight the good fight. When you have no choice but to admit defeat, do so gracefully. Get on the Bald-is-Beautiful band-wagon. Bald is better than the comb-over every day of the week, and twice on Sunday!

At Emerson Joseph, we will help your cause with a hyper-cleanse treatment and relaxing scalp massage.

All Shampoos are Not Created Equally

This is not rocket science, but thereีs definitely more to it than lather - rinse - repeat. A shampoo is nothing more than a surfactant (a foaming & cleansing agent), water, and a formulator (a thickening & conditioning agent used to temper the not-so-pleasant affects of the surfactant). The formulator is where the real difference is made. Here, manufacturers will add sunscreen, preservatives, antioxidants, fragrance & dyes. High-end shampoos & conditioners will be properly Ph balanced. These types of shampoos have been engineered to feel & behave differently; being gentle to fine hair, moisturizing to dry hair, stabilizing to color treated hair, stimulating to thinning hair.

Bottom line: Don't skimp; you get what you pay for. Our styling consultant can help guide you.
