As the Chair Turns - May 2019

Hi Hi,

I hope you've survived your allergies that resulted from the spectacular super bloom we had.  Spring is definitely here and a reminder it’s allergy season.  I have “seasonal” allergies but here in the Bay Area something is always in bloom so all that means is it’s allergy season pretty much all year round.  Thank goodness for local honey, though.  A couple tablespoons daily helps manage my allergies.  It’s not a cure all when the pollen is really high but it sure helps all those other days.   You should give it a try if you’re battling allergies.  

I came a cross an interesting article regarding an “epidemic” hair loss happening with millennials.   To be honest, this isn’t just happening with millennials.   Today’s stresses with jobs, finances, and the cost of living are common with all of us.   I’ve shared many articles about the affects of stress and hair loss.  What’s interesting is this article focuses on a certain age population, the millennial, and how the affects of these stresses are showing up in a younger individuals.

I knew iron, or the lack of it, had an affect on hair growth.   There really isn’t a simple resolution for an iron deficiency.  That said, I did not know that how our body stores iron is even more difficult to diagnose and treat.  I found an article regarding low ferritin and hair loss.   I hope it answers more questions than it raises.   

Over the last few months I’ve included articles about CBD oil and its benefits.  This month I have an article for you on how long CBD will stay in your system.   I’m learning about CBD oil all the time and I hope, along the way, you are doing your own research as well.

Did you know that for a Himba woman, her hair is her power? Hairstyles play a significant role within the Himba community and reflect marital status, age, wealth, and rank within the group.  Check out the article I have for you.

Inside this month you'll also find articles on the best hairstyle for your hair type, styling a perfect messy bun, the influence of k-pop on colour trends, taking better naps and more.  

Check it all out below. 
Enjoy!
