The Myths and De-Bunking the skin creme and topical collagen “hype “ as it doesn’t work . We must treat the issue internally , and here’s why
Collagen , a protein produced by your body, has been proven to be one of the most important substances for having a healthy set of hair. This protein can be used as a source for amino acids crucial for creating keratin, the protein base of the hair. It’s also a very powerful antioxidant that would protect your hair follicles against free radicals’ exposure. Collagen can also prevent hair loss caused by aging, which is a result of the weakened dermis. In addition to the previous advantages, the antioxidant feature of collagen can also slow down the graying of hair
Why is Collagen Synthesis KEY to Hair Regrowth:It removes the bad bacteria in the gut and increases production of needed Reduces free radicals Stimulation of overproduction of DHT causes hair loss so by increasing the level of mitochondria DHT is decreasing, stopping hair loss. Red light therapy techniques Sauna using infrared light is included in training. Cancer patients actually have healthier hair after treatments because DHT is destroyed. The ultimate goal is a plant based diet, we start learning this in using the bio active nature of aloe

Dec 1, 2021 | Hair Loss, Natural Hair, Sleep Support
The common question about hair loss is whether sleep deprivation contributes to hair loss.
Hair growth and hair loss can be affected by many general health issues. One of the questions I’m often asked is whether or not lack of sleep could contribute to hair loss. Generally, anything that promotes good health is good for your hair.
In other words, anything that adversely affects your health – like severe dieting, extremely stressful situations, or sleep deprivation – can, of course, be detrimental. A negative impact on your health is not good for your hair or for hair loss.
“Sleep affects almost every tissue in our bodies,” says HairDocTK, It affects growth and stress hormones, our immune system, appetite, breathing, blood pressure, and cardiovascular health, and hair loss. Research shows that lack of sleep increases the risk for obesity, heart disease, and infections
While sleep has a direct impact on the human body’s natural hormones, it means that poor sleep reduces the amount of melatonin, potentially causing hair loss. Lack of sleep will stress people. The psychological stress response has been shown to lead to hair loss due to telogen effluvium. Hair Loss “Sleep is important for protein synthesis of your hair, as well as proper release of growth hormone and other hormones
Sometimes life calls and we don’t get enough sleep. But five hours of sleep out of a 24-hour day isn’t enough, especially in the long term. According to a 2018 study of more than 10,000 people, the body’s ability to function declines if sleep isn’t in the seven- to the eight-hour range. Your body produces a hormone called melatonin. This hormone helps your body regulate your sleep cycle, and it also has been shown to increase hair growth. If your body decreases in its melatonin levels, it’s possible that this results in hair loss.
Must-Haves In A Sleep Supplement
- Melatonin: Melatonin is an essential sleep hormone that sends signals to your brain when it’s time to sleep, wake, and eat. Shown to help regulate your body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm), melatonin can help regulate your body temperature and other important hormones needed to fall asleep soundly.
- Valerian root: Valerian root has been used for centuries for its calming, sleep-promoting benefits. Studies show that valerian may help promote the length and quality of deep, restorative sleep, as well as reduce the length of time it takes to fall asleep at night.
- Important Amino Acids: Amino acids like Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and L-Tryptophan help your body produce the proteins and molecules needed for good sleep and relaxation. For example, tryptophan plays an important role in the production of melatonin and serotonin, two key hormones for promoting a better mood, mental clarity, and cognitive function.
- Calming Herbal Extracts: Look for soothing natural herbal extracts like chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, and hops. These can help promote feelings of relaxation and calm that help you unwind after a long day, decrease stress, and prepare your body for sleep.
Can sleep supplements really fix your nighttime troubles?
Here’s how to spot the ultimate sleep formula for restful, rejuvenating, and restorative nighttime sleep. We all dread those seemingly endless nights of tossing and turning, just hoping that sleep will eventually come to us before the sun rises. And we’ve all been guilty of those occasional late-night TV binges or celebratory nights out. But did you know that a consistent lack of shut-eye could actually be hurting your health?

Our bodies lose 300 billion cells every day, and it is vitally important to replenish our bodies with the proper nutrients needed to stabilize the body’s pH and lower stress and cortisol levels. Hair loss is always a symptom of something else that has gone wrong in your body.
Keep in mind that sudden and severe hair loss is usually due to acute sudden toxins or stress or poisoning to the body. Chronic hair loss is commonly due to hormonal and nutritional factors or slow chronic toxicity. Toxicity causes hair loss because the toxins interfere with the nutrients and hormonal substances that help hair growth. Some toxins interfere with the glands or organs that govern these nutrients.
STRESS AND CORTISOL EXCESS
Stress has been in association with hair loss for many years. During times of extreme stress, the body loses large amounts of vitamins, minerals and protein (in the form of nitrogen) in the urine. This sudden loss of nutrients can be a factor in hair loss. The stress may come from illnesses such as high fever, severe infection, major surgery or the flu.
During times of stress, cortisol levels also increase. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It has many important functions. But, in excess, it can trigger hair loss as well as bone loss.
TOXIC METALS
Lead, cadmium, mercury, iron, aluminum, and copper are the most common causes of hair loss. These toxic metals are also referred to as heavy metals. They do not easily move out of the body and will accumulate in the joints, bone, liver, and other organs and glands. Their removal is possible by taking specific vitamins that drive them out. The EPA recognizes hair testing as an effective means of testing for toxic metals. Testing is the key factor in understanding how the body is being affected by toxins and stress and how to correct the problem.
Both poor hair, nail growth, and hair loss can come from toxic metals. Many hobbies and occupations involve exposure to toxic metals. Examples are painting, arts, and crafts, electrical work, soldering, jewelry repair, etc. Any activity that involves working with metal filings or dust can result in toxic metal overload.
HAIR STYLING PRODUCTS
Many people change the appearance of their hair by using chemical treatments like dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners, and relaxers. Hair can become weak and break if any of these chemicals are repeatedly used too often. Hair can also break if the solution is on for too long, or if two procedures happen on the same day, or with the application of bleach to previously bleached hair. Some chemical relaxers do contain powerful chemicals and there have been instances of people get chemical burns from these products resulting in permanent hair loss. Only go to a qualified hairstylist that utilizes pH balanced and sulfate-free hair color and skincare lines.

Did YOU know that anything over 50 hairs shedding a day falls under the category of hair loss or hair thinning? You most likely have mineral and nutrients deficiency, and an overwhelming amount of heavy metals depleting the follicles of the essentials needed to grow thicker hair.
People lose hair for various reasons. Chronic on-going illness, nutritional deficiencies, stress, inflammation of the scalp, prescription drugs, and overuse of many medications (like chemotherapy to treat cancer) are the most prevalent causes of massive hair loss. Hair loss can also come from a parent. Often, hair thins because it is lacking the essential “nutrients“ – or because of the use of too many harsh chemicals internally and externally – so it can tend to break easily.
These are hair care tips to help protect hair, prevent further hair loss, add volume to your existing hair, and things to look for when choosing the right products suited to YOUR personal hair issues, textures, and long term goals.
1. Try Coloring for Hair Loss
If you inherited a tendency for hair loss, you likely have very healthy hair. So, your hair can benefit from permanent or semi-permanent color to give body and volume to hair.
Medications can weaken hair, causing it to break or fall out. Semi-permanent color is good in this case, too, because it does not contain ammonia or peroxide. The Plant-based Holistic product line I carry and use has neither. It will not damage hair but will give it body and volume.
If your hair is fine-textured, semi-permanent or permanent color is fine, as long as it is professionally applied. Over highlighting of the hair can get over-processed, which damages it, causing further hair loss unless there is a use of proper plant-based buffers without the use of any heat.
2. Shampoo and Condition Your Hair ONLY When Dirty
To protect hair, the best practice is to use shampoo only when hair is dirty. Because fine hair gets dirty faster, people with fine-textured hair need to shampoo more frequently – even though fine hair breaks more easily.
For that reason, fine-textured hair benefits from a good shampoo and volume-building conditioner.
I am the master of thinning hair and ways to repair prior damage. I have been dealing with it myself for over 22 years due to a medication prescription for a disease I didn’t have at that time. All this together aided in the beginning stages of ALL my personal hair loss and on-going chronic illness.
In my committed research, we are also finding that our breast implants also have been a symptom causing inflammation which also aides to the massive hair-loss and ongoing chronic illness to our entire body’s repair system. Most of the medical clients have thinning hair from stress to the internal follicles, lack of DHEA, lack of vital minerals and nutrients and damaged cells that are rapidly AGING FASTER. This SCIENTIFIC CHART shows in simple terms the “hair follicle cycle and stages.” There are many options to achieve results using holistic hair health products, supplements, and anti-aging remedies via the scalp.
Although there are good medicated products that seem to result in hair density, once the use of this product stops hair loss resumes as most contain “minoxidil.” When stopping the medications with minoxidil, there can be an adverse effect that may cause inflammation of the heart and lead to longterm heart issues. We need to treat this with natural pharmaceutics, pH balanced products, and healthy lifestyle changes, starting internally with the GUT and liver. The key to most “Dis-Ease” in the body is the lack of proper nutrition necessary to feed the scalp and internally cleanse the body to function at the optimal levels.

Simply put, having a cosmetology or barber license is essential for your profession. Without one, it’s difficult to excel in this field and you do not want to lose out on job opportunities due to it.
Many states need a cosmetologist or barber to have a license to do extensions. These demands differ from one state to another. Regardless of the state in which you live, the benefits of having a license coincide. Below are a couple of factors to take into consideration.
Training, testing and licensing enhance accountability. Within the different disciplines in the beauty sector, cosmetologists and barbers normally undertake one of the most comprehensive programs. This program covers several teachings and abilities from safety, cleanliness, and technical skills to client and business management abilities.
Having a cosmetology or barber license is extremely important if you wish to work in this area because thanks to this permit you can show that you have all the skills needed to enhance the hair of other people through waving, styling, along with any kind of various other techniques.
From the start of my career at 18, I have understood that millions of people have un-natural hair loss due to autoimmune disease, nutritional deficiencies, and environmental toxins. I am known for providing both reputable training, certifications and listings on my salon directory and salon charity called “Superhairoes” which offers hair, health, hope, and continued education.
The enforcement of rules is important when it comes to saving consumers from MORE HAIR LOSS -health and safety issues, improper techniques and for the health and safety of everyone.
Arizona is only one of 3 states that allows the unlicensed performance of hair, lashes, and other extension services.
With hair loss on the rise and with all this knowledge I want to make a difference. I want to be the difference. In AZ, a personal difference I’m dedicated to making is I want to change a specific law in my profession.
Here’s why.
I’ve made it my purpose to educate others about the causes of chronic illness. In doing this, I determined the law for hair restoration was inadequate. Licensing in all extension practices is necessary.
My Petition to change the law

I have actively been lobbying at the State Capital to alert all consumers of this unethical change to deregulate the hair and lash extension services that is taking place in our community on SB 1401. More Hairloss, infectious diseases and more damage will be on the rise!
Citizens can register with the Arizona Legislature’s ‘Request To Speak’ system (RTS) and leave their name and comment in opposition to the bill.
Another thing citizens can do is contact the 60 legislators in the House of Representatives who have voted on SB1401. Here is a list of their names, in alphabetical order, with party affiliations, direct links to their email addresses and their office phone numbers: https://www.azleg.gov/MemberRoster/?body=H
Professional beauty licensing is an essential component of the wellness of America’s economic situation and to the health of its residents. Beauty experts touch almost all Americans across every demographic in large and small areas. These specialists get their special skills to supply safe, top quality services to their clients with considerable training, certification and licensing, especially when utilizing extensions and hair restoration systems.

Hair and hair loss is a scientific part of our bodies. And hair loss is caused by STRESS, a breakdown of the amino chains, and increases in DHT. It is extremely disfiguring to one’s self-esteem. The normal amount of shedding hairs a day should be 50. With hair loss clients, it can be as much as 100 to 150 follicles a day.
When the body’s cells are not being renewed, new follicles will not emerge, thus causing hair loss… We will discuss treatments internally and externally to reverse this issue unless the client has suffered this for more than 10 years.
Is your hair trying to tell you something about your health? Maybe. Some conditions and medications affect your body as well as your hair. In other cases, you may just need to take better care of your hair or scalp.
Why is this so important to me? I have and had hair loss and have worn-every extension method in the world and I am here today to help all of you with hair loss!
If we can’t grow it, we will attach it, and in the most NON-invasive way to preserve the integrity of the hair, your health, and the planet.
After vast research and my own personal trial and error, I discovered hair loss is 80% due to stress and 20% genetic. Which if we knew years ago what we know now, we could repair the DNA at the cellular level and decrease DHT.
So not only am I the master hair extension extraordinaire because I’ve worn them all and will always. But my walk is the talk and it works. I have the living proof on my head and my nutrition/natural pharmaceutics and infrared therapy is key to hair regrowth.
