As The Chair Turns - February 2020

What’s old is new again. 
That goes for you and me, too, right?

When you realize the music of your youth is now called classic or the clothes you wore in High School are now retro it takes a little getting used to.  Now, the first hairdryer I used in the 70’s has been revamped and is now a bestseller.   Thanks to Dyson’s Airwarp (at a hefty $400 bucks) that came out a couple years ago, these hairdryer/brush combos are popular again. 

Have you heard, stress causes grey hair!  I think you and I had a hunch but there is now a scientific study to back that up.  Researchers believe the effects are linked to melanocyte stem cells, which produce melanin and are responsible for hair and skin color.  Hair color change may be linked to nerves in the “fight or flight” response system.  I have a couple articles for you on stress and grey hair.  

Did you know there was a thing called a Guillotine Haircut?  
How about “Fashion Victim”?    Curious, aren’t you?

Bangs. Bangs. Bangs.  I've shared a few articles about the dos and don’ts of bangs in the past.  One very important thing is to talk to a professional (that would be me) before making the cut.  Bangs come in many shapes and lengths, from baby bangs to side-swept. Bangs are great for framing your face and accentuating a haircut. However, you have to know there is a commitment. I have an article for you on one women’s experience getting French-Girl bangs.

I’ve added a new section for the “Follically Challenged”.  The market for hair transplants is expected to surpass $31 billion by 2025.  That means more and more of you are going to be researching and looking into different means of maintaining, preserving and growing those precious hair follicles.  I want to be an information resource for you.  If you have a question, please ask and I’ll get you an answer.  
 
That’s just some of what I have for you this month in “As the Chair Turns”.
 
Enjoy!
