Men's Edition 1

Hello Everyone

It is a beautiful day here in Arizona, so beautiful in fact I have taken my laptop outside to blog. Today I want to talk about men's hair care. I have been asking most of my male clientele about what they want to know about their hair. Unfortunately some men are still uncomfortable talking about the subject, and I tell them, "Hey this is my job, I want you to know anything and everything you can about your hair. Don't be afraid to ask me something" Once they warmed up a bit most of them asked me about hair loss and going gray.

On the topic of hair loss, I told them a few things. If your hair is just thinning all over, products like Rogaine or Nioxin are wonderful products. See if you are just seeing a thinning all over, it may mean the hair follicle is still present, and if it is present it is most likely they can be reactivated. What the products like Rogaine and Nioxin do in fewer words than a novel is get them active again. There are three stages of hair growth, Anagen, catagen and telagen.  

Now, I seriously can't explain this better than a site that I have found. So to understand the stages of hair growth better, clicking here will present you with a short article on the matter.

As for greying of hair, the reason why (if you don't already know) is because as we age our hair cells create less melanin (the stuff that makes our hair color our brown/blonde/red and everything in between) therefore making it grey/white instead. Some people never go grey, and some go grey at a very early age, this all depends on your genetics. So if you are grey bound there is no way to reverse it (yet lol) So in the meantime most women color their hair. If you are a man and don't want to look like you colored your hair, you have options. Redkin has a color line dedicated to you! It's called Camo Color, and it gets its name because it blends in your grey to your natural hair color. This means you will still have some grey hair, but thats the point, it doesn't look colored. If you wanted it completely gone you can use the same color as your female friends. The downside to that is you will have whats called a line of demarcation, which is where your natural hair grows in and you have grey roots. If you plan on getting your hair touched up every 6 to 8 weeks than thats great, but if you don't it will be a problem. Camo color is a demi permanent color which means it will fade away gradually therefore no distinctive grey roots for you! And you don't have to have a standing color appt. you can do it whenever!

I am sure there are more things you men what to know about your hair. I want you to ask me, if I don't know the answer, I'll find out for you! Let me know if this blog was helpful at all!

I hope you guys have a beautiful day! As for me, I'm going to enjoy my day off!

Happy Styling
