7 Hair Loss Myths Dispelled
Perhaps you’ve been noticing a bit of extra hair in your brush lately, and like many you may feel like you are losing your hair based on a myth that you’ve believed most of your life. It’s time to debunk those hair loss myths and find out the reality to what causes hair loss and thinning and find out if you are really losing your hair!
Myth 1: If your hair is thinning, it’s because of your mother’s side of the family.
- Reality: Actually, scientific research proves that hair thinning can occur from mom or dad’s side of the family. Take a look at your immediate family’s hair. If they are losing their hair, you may likely do the same.
Myth 2: Only men suffer from hereditary hair loss.
How A Crash Diet Can Affect Hair Loss
SPF For Your Hair!
“Jeffrey, I do a lot of outdoor activities in the summer. How can I protect my hair from the sun?” – Sarah
That’s a wonderful question and I think many people can relate. Damage comes from a variety of factors, but during the summer months the sun is definitely a huge contributor to dry, damaged hair and color fading.
Did you know that, like skin, hair has melanin and keratin that acts as a natural “shield” against the sun’s harmful rays? Unfortunately, it doesn’t renew itself like our skin does. Once hair shafts are damaged, they cannot be repaired. That’s when your hair will feel dry, becomes difficult to style and does not look its best.
So, what’s the best solution? Wearing a hat or covering your hair with a elegant scarf is by far the best protection for your hair. If that does not fit your lifestyle or activity, I highly recommend the Phytoplage Protective Sun Veil. This product is lightweight – doesn’t weigh hair down – SPF for your hair! It helps preserve color and prevent fading by filtering out the sun’s damaging rays, while also adding a luminous veil of shine. So this summer make sure to protect not only your body, but your beautiful hair as well!
Camouflaging Thinning Hair
Spring is the perfect time to learn how camouflaging your thinning hair can work for you. I understand that it can be difficult to hide a bare scalp, especially during the spring months when the weather turns nice and we’re no longer wearing heavy clothing or hats. My camouflaging trick will keep you feeling confident and gorgeous, just like a spring flower!
Now, there are a few barriers when “covering up.” Most of us are running around on a daily basis, our bodies’ sweat, and with the spring season comes rain. These factors can make it difficult to hide hair loss or thinning. Some camouflage makeups run-off in these insistences, but unlike those other products, the physician-developed makeup I suggest using, actually seals in place allowing you to go about your day without any worry and help you continue looking beautiful on the inside and out!
Want to learn more about the camouflage makeup I talked about in my video above, please email or to set up a private and personal consultation with one of my consultation specialists.
Save Some Product & Your Change!
How much shampoo should I be using? This is a question I hear frequently, and an important tip I educate my guests on because people tend to overuse products. It’s good to go through your beauty products and learn how to make them last. So let me help you start saving some product, and change.
More is not always better. Overusing any product does not mean it will give you a better result and could possibly be damaging to your hair…not to mention, you’ll waste your product causing you to spend more money.
Recognizing Early Signs of Hair Loss
Looking down at your brush, you notice strands of hair. Immediately you panic and wonder – am I experiencing hair loss? The good news is that there are some signs and questions you can ask yourself that will help determine if you are losing more hair than you should. Being in the industry for years, I’m here to help!
There are a few questions that are essential to ask yourself:
- When you wake up in the morning, is there hair everywhere? On your pillow? On your bed?
Beauty Tip: Cocktailing
This is one of my beauty tips that every woman, whether she has a hair replacement system or her own beautiful hair, should know when styling her hair. It’s a beauty trick you’ve seen your stylist do a million times, and in this video I lay out how to use these products to help you create the look you want.
When you leave the salon, your hair is looking fabulous! So why does it seem difficult to achieve the same result at home? Perhaps it’s because your stylist uses the “cocktailing” method. Take a pea-size amount of a few products, thoroughly mix and mold them in your hands, and disperse them evenly (roots, ends, and in between), this is called cocktailing. Like in mixology, you are using more than one type of product to achieve an amazing result.
Try this beauty trick and you’ll notice that your hair cooperates more and is easily styled. Good luck cocktailing!

What Will Your Hair Loss Look Like in 3 Months?
“I have 20% hair loss due to hereditary. I am 65 years old and in good health. I have heard about laser treatment, Can you tell me the success rate or, would you recommend a different treatment?” ~Brenda M.
Thank you for your question, Brenda! Hereditary hair loss is one of the major causes of hair loss in healthy women. Much like you, many women are looking for a solution for their hair thinning or hair loss. The first thing to keep in mind is that there is no “magic pill.” No matter what the product, service or specialist tells you the only way to grow hair back is if there is a healthy hair follicle beneath the scalp. Once the follicle is gone, it is unfortunately not coming back.
I often ask my guest this question, ” If you looked in the mirror three months from now what will your hair loss look like then?” If you are noticing more than the normal shedding of 80-100 hairs per day then in three months there is a great likelihood that your hair loss will progress even further. The goal now is to make sure your scalp is in a healthy condition in order for hair to grow stronger, faster, thicker and be less inclined to fall. So when you look at yourself in the mirror three months from now your hair loss has not worsened, and your hair is thicker helping to give the appearance of even less hair loss.
The Most Beautiful Fabric of All – Your Hair!

In today’s world there is one fabric that all women have in common, and that’s their hair. Whether it’s changing the world of science or touching lives on a daily basis I believe that all women need to take a moment to think about their hair, and how they can learn to protect and care for it as the fabric that it is.
In the video above I’ll discuss the similarities of your hair and your favorite fabrics.

I have created a full maintenance guide video to help walk you through the correct amount of products to use as well as the importance of rinsing the products out of your hair.
