As the Chair Turns - April 2019

Happy Spring to you all.  

Last month I shared a few articles about CBD oil.  Now that retailers like CVS and Walgreens will be carrying it you really need to be even more informed about ingredients, purity and what it is you are actually buying.  I have another article for you this month that will hopefully help with some of your questions.

The way I cut hair has evolved over the years.  A lot in part because of trends and how you are wearing and styling your hair.  Haircuts are less structured, more tousled, and wash & wear these days.  A lot of this has to do with busy schedules and not wanting to spend hours doing your hair.

I’m sure you’ve already noticed I include articles on trending hairstyles.   The trending cut for women is the Shag.  Yes, the Shag is back.  It’s easy to care for and, if cut to suit your hair type and texture, will allow you to go a little longer between hair cuts.   Even with men’s hairstyles trending longer, guys still asking for a classic haircut.   The “barbering” tend of the last few years has been a huge contributing factor.   So, while women want hairstyles that are easy to care for and can also stretch out the time between appointments, guys are spending more time in the salon/barber chair maintaining their coif.  

The way we care for our hair has also changed.  Hair products have become more gentle, less damaging, not just to your locks but for the environment.  I have an article for you with some helpful tips on washing your hair differently in order to save the environment.  

Do you know the difference between a mole and skin cancer?    The tanning we did in our youth, 20+ years ago, is now  showing up as either sun damage or melanoma skin cancer.      I’ll keep an eye on your scalp and let you know if I see anything that looks unusual, but there may be other areas on your body that need a real doctor to check out.  I, myself, have regular follow up visits with my dermatologist.  About a year ago I did a skin treatment, basically liquid kemo, on a few areas on my face.  It (and I) wasn’t pretty, but it was a valuable proactive procedure.  If you have any doubt about that spot on your skin I have an article for you that might inform you on whether or not you need to make an appointment with your dermatologist.  

80’s hair, hair dye, mobile passports, hair extensions, and lice?  Yup, lice.

All that and more.  Check it all out below.
