Healthy Hair Begins When It's Free From Stress, Reduce It, Simply

I have never done this (Post something written by another person) before {only because I haven't finished teaching what I know !} but I respect the man that wrote this Post tremendously. We disagree on a few points, but I believe that is only because he has never had the training and experience of actually changing hair color himself. When you sit in a lab or office and develop hair products (many don't even have hair !) and then proceed to make big huge statements about 'how' hair products work, 'should' work and should be made. It ruffles my feathers ... I feel they are missing a large portion of the education needed to do what they are doing. By not working on real people's hair. 

Regardless, this post is by Philip Kingsley - he is a hair loss specialist in the UK and he is the worlds expert in the who's - what's & whys of the hair loss problem for women. I've read everything he has ever written (which isn't much) but I think that is because he so busy he doesn't have time to.
I have a 14 STEP protocol for women on how to repair and rejuvenate hair for women experiencing hair loss, that is based on my experiences with over 15,000 Heads of hair I have worked on. . . and 2 years of the best training on planet earth in the world of hair. One of my Steps is : REDUCE STRESS, and he explains exactly how I feel as well and he does an excellent job. So, please read this Post on Hair Loss and how stress DOES contribute to it.


Stress can and often does result in hair loss due to a number of factors. One of the main reasons is that stress, through a convoluted route, can increase your body’s production of adrenaline. This can then be converted into cholesterol, which is capable of raising your body’s levels of testosterone. Testosterone is a male hormone (androgen) that has huge implications on hair growth, frequently causing hair loss and/or thinning in people who have follicles sensitive to circulating levels. However, too-high levels can also impact the hair growth cycle, especially in women.

Another important point is that when we are stressed we often do not look after ourselves as we should. For instance, we may skip meals or eat more processed foods than usual – which while convenient have little nutritional benefit. Diet has wide-reaching implications on hair growth, with improper nutrition being a leading cause of hair loss in women. This includes vitamin imbalances, iron deficiency, inadequate protein intake, and meals that contain too few calories. Stress also impacts digestion and the absorption of vital nutrients, reducing their effectiveness.

Furthermore, stress affects our immune system, making us more susceptible to illness. Like diet, general health is closely linked to hair health, with the flu, high fevers and systemic upsets often triggering hair loss approximately 2 months later. Stress can also trigger dandruff in individuals who are prone to it - and research is increasingly showing that flaky/itchy scalps can worsen or lead to hair loss.

Treating Stress Related Hair Loss

Unfortunately, there is no absolute cure for follicle sensitivity, and so the best ways to tackle and improve stress and stress related hair loss is to use preventative measures. We suggest reducing your stress levels with yoga, meditation, pilates or moderate exercise. Mindfulness has also shown to be very effective, providing tools for coping with day-to-day stress and feelings of being overwhelmed. You may also want to talk to your doctor about alternative treatments, such as acupuncture or herbal remedies. In relation to products, use a scalp treatment that helps to block the affect that male hormones can have on your follicles. 

In terms of diet, do not skip meals and try to eat at regular intervals with a snack in-between. Those of us at Killerstrands have found a supplement (called the SECRET SUPPLEMENT) that has an 80-85% success rate ...you get the information as to what it is with our Deep Conditioner - THRIVEN. Which is a well formulated nutritional supplement just taking one of these a day. In 30-90 days you will know if this will bring you completely awesome results as it has  everyone in my family it can be very helpful, providing your body with a boost of essential vitamins, minerals & protein. This may also aid in immune system function. While there is no fool-proof method of preventing illness and the spread of germs, if your doctor approves get a yearly flu shot.

It is important to note that stress will not cause hair loss straight away. Any hair loss you experience will present itself anywhere from 6 - 12 weeks later due to the nature of your hair growth cycle.

Most Common Cause of Hair Loss In Women

The most common cause of hair loss in women is “androgenetic alopecia” which basically means Female Pattern Hair Loss. FPHL basically boils down to the women’s version of: aging-hormones & genetics affecting hair loss. It has been fairly well established that the science of hair loss between the sexes is completely different. 

Not only does male pattern baldness reveal differently, scientists believe the solutions are down a different path as well. Men already have a quick-fix pill that works fairly well (Propecia), women have Minoxidil (Rogaine) as the one FDA approved drug to combat loss and there are multiple lasers that have now been approved for improving hair growth. The only issue of course...........is the price ( $700.00 ). I believe in the I Grow Laser Hair Rejuvenation System which is an innovative, convenient hands-free hair re-growth system designed for use in the comfort of your own home. 

The safe, effective treatment strengthens hair follicles while re-growing through low-level light therapy. You’ll notice improvement in hair growth and appearance after six months of continual use. It even includes iPod- and MP3-compatible headphones to keep you entertained while your hair grows.
How to use: Use every other day for 20-25 minutes for 6 months, then once per week to maintain treatment results.
. 

 If you include minoxidil 
 & the IGROW










 along with the full 10,000HEADS Protocol, 

 you could potentially have the hair of a super model. There are any factors that! If you are very worried about the amount of hair loss you are having then you need to hop in your car and get yourself all of these supplies. Use only the "foam" .......all the others just sweat off the scalp !   My initial work & research at killer strands was focused mainly on the issue of Women’s hair loss.

Killer strands would like to introduce to you a new way of understanding the female hair loss plaguing America today. By recent estimates 50 million women are suffering from one form or another of hair loss and the numbers continue to rise. In order for women to understand why the 14 steps of this program work, we found it helps to educate and explain the “HAIR GROWTH CYCLE in a little different method, one that  is clear – simple – and concise . 

When we take the time to explain the whole process at the clinic, we can see the light bulbs going off over clients heads so we know its helps - this explanation ...............................
{ if I've done a good job ! } also explains why some people have longer hair than others. See if you can catch 'why' ? ! 

Each person is born with every single hair follicle they will have for lifetime, on the body. As a tiny baby you are born with 5 million hair follicles spread throughout the entire body , with 1 million on the head and 100,000 on the scalp.

 There are 2 types of hairs within all of those, vellus and terminal…vellus are the short fuzzy, soft ones that do not grow, while the “terminal” hairs are just that, terminal. Think about that, as that is what will help you understand the reason behind alopecia, the hairs on your scalp have a life-span…they sprout, grow, shed – rest, then begin the process all over again. 

Now there are technical names for all of these stages which you can see on the chart , but what is important here, is that  each and every single hair on your head; sprouts, grows, sheds, & rests…shedding is a mandatory part of new hair growth. A hair remains in its GROWTH phase for approx. 4 years (fluctuates by person) – at the end of the growth phase it is shed {hair fall}; three months later another grows in its place. When the hair is shed there is the period of awaiting cell regeneration…which begins another new hair… and ‘that’ is where the diminishing numbers come from.

 As we age the hair that once grew for 4 years – the next time it may only grow for 3 1/2 years, the next time for 3 years and so on . Therefore, if you had 50,000 hairs growing for 4 years when you were 20 years old and then every  4-5 years the amount went down another 2-3,000 . Therefore, you have an EVEN  all-over or “DIFFUSE” pattern of hair loss, you can now see how the thinning begins to happen, which explains WPHL or women’s pattern hair loss . We believe that the hair SHIFT term that we coined is the result of 10 years accumulation of changes within the body (for one reason or another) resulting  in a distinct and noticeable change. 

Every single hair on your head sheds, that is the completely normal process within the normal growth cycle of each and every hair. In order for a new hair to grow in.... the old one has to shed, so the “cycle” can continue along its merry way! Many people panic about hair shedding, 95% of the time it is within the normal range, it has just been combined with a person’s aging & hormones, so it seems more severe, which is understanding. 

So what I am trying to say is...........shedding is normal.....its completely NORMAL. So many of you think you have abnormal shedding. BUT....if all hair sheds. Then eventually every single hair on your head MUST come off your head. Why? For the NEW one to grow in.....so the goal and those theories about brushing the hair regularly are valid. You want the hairs to come off the head that are ready to, that makes way for the new hair to be able to grow in.

Many of you do not eat a balanced diet and if that is the case be sure you get yourself some Secret Supplement and just watch your hair flourish! It really does solve the problem of thin or weak hair like nothing I have ever seen in 20 years!

This Saturday will be the last Sale of the year dedicated to a very worthy cause...........the SMALL BUSINESS.  Its our Small Business Saturday Sale and its a cause near and dear to my heart. I watch small hair company's being snatched up by large Corporations on a daily basis, I watch small - cool - innovative company's in all field's being bought up by large Corporations and that to me, is the death of both the Middle Class and the Middle income population of this country. 

If we end up with just the very wealthy and the very poor, it will destroy our country. The economics of having only 2 classes make NO Sense no matter which party you are. This is NOT a "particular party" issue. This is an issue of survival in America for everyone. 

Please not ONLY support us, but MAKE A POINT of shopping ONLY at ALL SMALL BUSINESSES this Saturday. The government and the media is paying attention, PLEASE -- PLEASE. . . . support only small businesses on this Saturday November 29, 2014. We have the last Sale of the year.
