August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month and now is the time to take preventative and proactive measures against this issue. It’s crazy to think that hair thinning/hair loss begins at age 35 for most women… not to mention that 90% of hair loss is genetic!
Bosley Professional Strength is here to help and has a collection of products specifically targeted towards prevention and treating those that suffer from hair thinning or loss. See below for a few expert tips from Michelle Blaisure, Bosley Professional Strength Director of Education!
THE FACTS:
– Genetics is the primary cause of hair loss in men (about 95% of loss due to genetics)
– 38% of women said they started to notice the change around age 35
– 86% of women, when surveyed, said they would be concerned if they started to thin in their 30’s
– By age 60 about 60-70% of men and about 50%-60% of women will have thinned
THE CAUSES:
Hair loss and excessive shedding can occur for many reasons:
– Genetics
– Extreme Stress
– Child birth
– Illness
– Immune disorders
– Medications
– Tight braids, weaves and improperly applied extensions
THE SOLUTIONS:
– When hair starts to thin, it’s important to address it early as it is easier to keep it than to get it back!
– Use products designed for scalp health and thinning hair that add thickness and volume so hair has a fuller look, and when used for prevention, slow the look of aging hair
– Shampoo frequently with a thinning hair cleanser, like Bosley Professional Strength BosRevive Nourishing Shampoo, which is designed to remove any build-up and debris from the scalp and hair
– For a quick cover up try natural keratin hair fibers like Bosley Professional Strength Hair Thickening Fibers, as they give instant density in the hairline and crown.
