As the Chair Turns (November 2019)

​Well, they’re here…
​
Happy Holidays!  It’s time to make and confirm Holiday plans and travels for the Season.   AND make your appointment so you’re looking great for the Holidays.   My Holiday schedule is below.     

I don’t know about you, but I am emotionally exhausted.  There is so much happening locally and around the world.  I have to admit that some days are a bit of a challenge.  Hiccups in my serenity but I’m trudging along.   I hope you’re finding moments of solitude here and there, too.   Ohm…

Oh my, the things I wish you knew…
No worries.  Someone wrote a nice little article (and I have it for you) of the “7 Things Your Hairstylist and Colorist Want You to Know Before Your Next Appointment”.

I’ve been dealing with issues of contact dermatitis on my hands.  As time goes by our bodies just don’t defend us against the same allergens and toxins that it used to.  I’m getting pretty good at narrowing down the irritating ingredients.  The interesting thing, though, is that many of them are very common and in almost everything.   The latest is Linalool, a compound in Lavender.  Which, as you probably guessed, it in everything.  It’s just nice knowing what’s causing the skin irritations and then “trying” to limit them coming into contact with my hands.

That said, I have an article for you on shampoos and contact dermatitis. What are the signs and what are the symptoms.   Most of you probably don’t notice or have any reactions to your shampoo or hair products.  It is a good reminder to check ingredients in your haircare products and to be aware of any skin irritations.

It seems like I’m always sharing something about thinning hair or hair loss.  It’s a very common topic and concern for many people so you will definitely see more articles in the coming months.  This month I have an article for you that delves a little into the science of thinning hair, brows, and lashes.   Hair loss is a very complicated subject.  There is not just one reason or even one solution.  It’s important to know what’s going on up there because it could be a sign of something else going on with your health.   The more you know, right!

With the fires and earthquakes you can never be too prepared.  I have 2 articles on putting an emergency kit together.  One is a quick little shoebox of things.  The other is a more extensive 72-hour kit.   If you haven’t done so already, now’s the time.  

There’s more, but that’s just some of what I have for you this month in “As the Chair Turns”.
 
Enjoy!
