Did you ever have a secret that you kept to yourself? A secret so private that if anyone found out you would be horrified? For many, the answer is yes.
Trichotillomania or compulsive hair pulling can be one of those secrets. My friend, Amy Burzinski, works with individuals suffering from Trichotillomania and she gave us some insight into the disorder.
Trichotillomania (TTM or “Trich”) is a disorder that causes people to pull out the hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or any other parts of the body, resulting in noticeable bald patches. Trichotillomania is a type of body focused repetitive behavior or BFRB for short. People who have trich will describe a strong “urge” to pull. The urge can be so strong that it can almost feel like an attack- unrelenting and demanding attention before anything else can be done.
People have always asked, “Jeffrey, what should I look for when choosing a blow dryer.” This is a question that more of us should think about when we’re making a purchase, because not all dryers are equal! I want to share with you my favorite blow dryer, and what features it has.
The new CHI touchis my favorite blow dryer and one I would recommend to anyone because it has the following features:
Temperature setting
Volume of air setting
Changeable nosel
Ionization setting
These are all important settings because the more heat you use, the less beauty your hair has. Many blow dryers do not have a temperature setting, which in return, causes many of use to over heat our hair.

December is a month of cheer, but for those women experiencing 10-20 percent hair thinning or loss that cheer can be replaced with a bit of worry. There’s no need to worry this holiday season, camouflage makeup is a simple solution for early hair thinning and loss to keep that holiday cheer alive.
Just like light powder and liquid can cover dark and red spots on skin, light powder and liquid can conceal thinning areas on your scalp. After a consultation at Jeffrey Paul Salon, we can show you how this camouflage solution can help you look nearly perfect so you can enjoy that holiday party.
Here are some of my tips for applying camouflage makeup:
Having great hair for the holidays may mean styling with hot tools. But there are common mistakes we make when it comes to using curling irons and flat irons. I want you to look fabulous this holiday season, so here are three things to consider before prepping your look.
1. Time – First, time management is a big deal. We all have places to be during this busy season, and the correct styling tools will help style your hair in less time. Tools get old. If you have had the same hot iron for years, it is time to replace it. Styling tools wear down over time, which causes them to not work as well and lead to unsatisfying results.
Everyone loves a head massage, and many of us use the holidays as an excuse to get one. But don’t let the holidays be the only time you’re pampering your head. Here are a few of my reasons for you to give yourself one every time your in the shower.
It boosts circulation
Improves hair health
Reduces stress
Using the pads of your fingertips, start at the front of your head and work your way back to the nape of your neck.

Not so hot! One of the bad habits many of us continue to do when washing our hair, is using hot water. Although hot water may feel good on our body in the shower, it actually causes your hair cuticles to swell. When your cuticles swell, it creates an uneven surface, the result? Your hair looks dull. Instead, rinse your hair with cold or lukewarm water to close the cuticle and create an all over shine.

Tangles and snarls and bed head, oh my! One of the worst things for your hair and your hair replacement system is the sleep that your body so desperately needs. Luckily, I’m here to help. Watch my video above and follow these three beauty tips, to protect your hair, before laying down for your beauty sleep:
Sleep with a satin pillowcase. We move throughout the night and using a satin pillowcase prevents friction.
“After I work out I rinse my head, does that do any damage to my hair piece without fully performing the steps?” – Linda
Linda, thank you for your great question. I am sure many people are asking the same question. After working out, I recommend following the “detangle” step of my Video Maintenance Training. Also, make sure to always use a shower filter when rinsing your hair to prevent against the damage caused by chlorine.
You may also utilize a dry shampoo, in this type of situation, to dry the oils out of the hair prior to washing the next day. Not every dry shampoo can be used on a hair replacement system. Make sure you use one that has been tested and is approved by my salon for your hair system. I also do not recommend using the dry shampoo as a replacement for the maintenance program, but instead as an occasional add-in for situations like after working out.
I hope this answers your question! Please keep your questions coming! For more information on becoming a guest at Jeffrey Paul Salon please emailor call us to set up a free private consultation or visit our guest corner for more guest specific information.
Hair needs protection! That’s why using my Beautiful Hair Spray Conditioner is so important. Towels, blow dryers, hot irons, and other environmental factors damage hair each and every day. Using my Spray Conditioner after showering not only helps to protect your hair from many damaging factors. It also detangles hair, adds moisture which allows hair to feel more soft and smooth, and reduces frizzy hair.
Here are a few tips to further protect your hair.
If you must towel dry your hair, make sure to use a microfiber towel.
If you need to blow dry your hair or use hot styling tools, make sure that you are using them properly. (For tips, click here).
Understand the 3 T’s of your styling tools: time, temperature and technique.

2. Which ingredients are listed as the top 3-4 ingredients?
Most bargain brand products are not using high quality grade ingredients because they are expensive and they wouldn’t be able to sell their products for a “bargain”. You want to look for a shampoo that contains USP grade ingredients. These types of ingredients are more expensive than normal ingredients because they must meet standards for strength, quality and purity. However, this also means that the ingredients are much higher in quality which allows them to deliver the best possible results for your hair. Remember, you ultimately get what you pay for.
Next, most bargain brands list water as the first ingredient which means that the product is primarily water versus cleanser. My Beautiful Hair Moisturizing Shampoo has the cleansing agent listed as the 1st ingredient. This means that the majority of the product is made to cleanse and moisturize your hair. By having the cleansing ingredient listed as the first ingredient means that you can use less product and still get the best results. This ultimately allows you to save money. Versus using a product that lists water as the first ingredient which you will need to use more of to get even close to similar results.

I hope this helps. Keep your questions coming and keep an eye out for our step-by-step Maintenance Video and Free Maintenance Package giveaway coming out later this month!
Over the years I have found that if there is one mistake most women make when it comes to styling their hair it is the tools that they use. (Mother bought them a curling iron when they were eight years old and then have been using it ever since etc.) Using damaged tools can ultimately lead to more damage to your hair. There are 3 important factors to keep in mind when using styling tools The Three T’s of Tools: Time, Temperature, and Technique.
Hair loss can be devastating, in fact, one-in-four women will experience some form of hair thinning or hair loss during their lifetime. Whether it’s a result of genetics, health issues, medication, stress or other factors, the impact of hair loss is significant to a sense of self.
Why? Because hair is attached to more than the follicles in the scalp. It is attached to emotions, personality, confidence and the way you feel about yourself and how you interact with the world. It is the “crowning glory” to that individual look you call your own.
If you are experiencing the early stages of age-related hair thinning and loss, there are several options you can consider that will help divert attention away from the issue.
