Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

You have heard of Aloe Vera and how it works miraculously to help heal burns, right? Perhaps you didn’t know that it is the cure all for many other ailments and can be used both topically as well as internally. When taken internally, it is a wonderful cleanse, and can help remove toxins from the body.

Perhaps what you didn’t know is that Aloe Vera is fabulous for your hair and scalp. Some swear that it will even help prevent hair loss.

Aloe Vera has been used for centuries as a remedy to cure and relieve common skin disorders in North America, India, and the Caribbean. This miracle plant has been used to help relieve skin and scalp disorders and keep hair healthy.

So, what’s the connection with Aloe Vera and hair loss? Aloe Vera is known to balance out the PH in the human system and stimulate the production of enzymes on your scalp which in turn, helps to stimulate hair growth. If you are looking for a totally natural home remedy to help with hair loss or to simply keep your hair healthy, Aloe Vera to the rescue! Perhaps it can help keep hair on your head instead of in the bed!

Just before going to bed, dab a bit of Aloe Vera on your scalp with your fingers or with a cotton ball. Massage into your scalp and hair. You may remember from another post I did, that just the act of massaging your scalp will increase blood flow which can stimulate the hair follicles, which in turn can help the hair to grow.

After massaging Aloe Vera into your head and hair the night before, you obviously will want to wash your hair the next morning. Or, if you prefer not sleeping with the Aloe Vera on, massage it into your hair the next morning, leave it on for at least an hour, then wash it out. Longer is better and again, the massaging is probably almost as important as the Aloe Vera.

You should be able to find Aloe Vera at your local grocery store or drug store. If you live in a more remote area, check on-line. If all of this sounds like too much hassle and a lot of work, come into Fantasia for Hair Support System. This is a salon treatment followed by home care, with natural ingredients known to help with thinning hair and hair loss.

There is another innovative hair restoration technique we have not discussed. Laser hair therapy is one of the latest and most popular treatments for thinning hair.

Many men and women are regaining confidence through these treatments and; with more than half of the men and women in the United States experiencing hair loss, this is a big deal!

Laser hair therapy is a non-invasive approach to stimulate hair growth with no side effects. There is also no pain and no down time. Using laser light, laser hair therapy applies the same principles to hair that photosynthesis does to plants. Hopefully you can remember back to science class when we learned about this process. Laser hair therapy stimulates protein synthesis in cells to create a healthier, thicker head of hair. This process is referred to as “photo bio” stimulation.

The best candidates for laser hair therapy are those with thinning hair and those with scalp disorders. The procedure increases blood flow to the scalp and boosts cell metabolism. This creates more energy for the hair follicles. A patient must have functioning hair follicles in order for this therapy to work. If a person has been bald for awhile, laser hair therapy would not be a good option.

Laser hair therapy is a welcome alternative to hair transplants and has been used successfully in Europe for the past ten years. A good nutritional program for the scalp such as Hair Support System would work well in conjunction with laser hair therapy.

For those of us who prefer non-invasive solutions, this just may be a good one to consider.
