Experience a "Beautiful Health"  Kasia Kick Start Kit

Kick-start your personal thermogenic energy, support your stress load and adrenals, and put weight loss in effect for 2013!

 

The Premier Research Lab DUO!

1.)  FatStat is the result of years of trial-and-error research and development in the nutritional art of the botanical thermogenic effect.

When used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program, this synergistic formula promotes fat loss in all those hard to reach places. One key ingredient, Chrysin, has been shown to break down stubborn abdominal fat. In addition to those with gross fat levels, this formula can also be used for thin people who carry toxic fat around the abdomen and hips. An added benefit is increased muscle mass and increased energy.

This product has a superior effect for the following:

• Promotes steady, efficient fat burning (thermogenic effect)
• Hormone balancing for effective, long-lasting weight loss support
• Boosts energy
• Use in conjunction with Adaptogen R3 for the superior "Lean Body" effect
• Use in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program

2.)  Coupled with Adaptogen-R3

Adaptogen-R3 is not a “jolt product,” loaded with stimulants that rev up weak adrenals such as ephedra. Instead, its unique, adaptogenic herbs are synergistically combined to focus on nourishing the glands and organs, including the adrenals, as well as creating maximal oxygen and nutrient transport to the muscles and connective tissue to ensure optimal support, detoxification and immune function.

Adaptogen-R3 Supports:

• Maximum performance
• Increased energy
• Endurance
• Enhanced oxygen & nutrient uptake
• Enhanced fat loss when used with a balanced diet
• Supports healthy adrenal function
• Optimal neurotransmitter
• Memory
• Mental & endocrine support
• Broad spectrum endocrine rejuvenator, especially the pituitary-adrenal axis
• All ingredients are also immune-specific, so this product may also be used for those with multiple immune concerns.

Adaptogen R-3 is Indicated for the Following:

• Hormone Support
• Athletes
• Overweight Individuals
• High Stress Levels
• Type A Personalities
• Fatigue

3.)  Add in Premier Cleanse, which will assist and support intestinal cleansing and rejuvenation.

Even if you have cleaned up your act for the past few years (by eating a healthy, high fiber diet with fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains), you may still have years worth of toxic accumulation. Many colons still retain the toxic sludge that is a by-product of the Standard American Diet (including meat, dairy, refined flour and sugar, fried foods, etc.).  Unbelievably, layers of decayed fecal matter and pockets of mucus can remain in the colon for a lifetime.

This unique formula is designed to thoroughly but gently cleanse the entire intestinal tract, promote healthy, normal bowel eliminations and thereby, aid in cleansing the entire body.

Why hair becomes thinner, less shiny and more prone to breaking or damage.

As we get older and grow wiser, our hair unfortunately becomes more brittle and thin.  Check out our Informed Beauty Essential Tips on how to battle the signs of aging in order to attain - and regain -  younger-looking and healthier locks.

As the years go by, many of us dread the experience of finding that first gray hair - which actually occurs because hair loses protein and melanin with age.   But, unfortunately, silver strands aren’t the only change. After the age of 40, hair may become thinner, less shiny and more prone to breaking or damage.

These changes can be caused by several factors including:

• Hormonal changes. Over time, the body produces lower levels of the hormones necessary for hair growth. Hormonal fluctuations post-menopause may also cause many women to experience thinner hair later in life.

• Sluggish cell regeneration. As we age, the rate at which hair is able to grow slows down, resulting in thinner tresses. Over time, hair loses its elasticity, hair follicles shrink, growth slows and sebum and keratin production diminishes, so strands can become brittle and dull.

• Genetics. Genetics play a significant role in determining the quantity and quality of your hair. While most people experience some hair loss with aging, the extent of hair loss is often determined by genetics.

• Medications. According the American Academy of Family Physicians, certain medicines may contribute to hair loss. These medications include those used to treat gout, high blood pressure, depression and heart problems related to blood pressure and cholesterol. Changes may be long term or temporary. Be sure to discuss potential side effects with your doctor.

Your Winter Hair Recovery Guide

 

Winter air can be brutal on our hair and scalp.   While gusting winds and frigid temps outside whip our tresses into a mess, the warm and dry-like air inside our home and office do even more harm.

"It's indoor heating that really dries out the hair and weakens the hair cuticle.   "Without that protective barrier, hair fibers peel and break."

Support your locks and stop this cycle with some changes in the products you choose and how you use them.

A Rx Prescription for Shine

Like a sneezy and achy winter head cold, winter hair has it's own set of symptoms: static, dry, dull, frizzy, and flat. Nursing your hair to health takes multifacited approach.

Hydrating: Give your parched hair a long drink they need by switching to moisturizing shampoos and conditioners such as Kasia Replenish Shampoo and Conditioner.   Sea kelp, aloe, and shea moisturize, repair and strengthen, restoring shine and defining curls. Vitamins E and C are powerful antioxidants that repair and protect.

Seal Your Split Ends

Dehydrated and thirsty hair means fraying tips and  dreaded spit ends. The only way to get rid of those crunchy tips is with regular haircut "dustings"  every six to eight weeks. Between trims, prevent future damage by applying a hydrating conditioning oil  into your hair to smooth, nourish, and protect.

Bring On the Shine

Due to the daily ware and tear,  the roughed-up surface of dry hair doesn't reflect light as the sun in partial retreat during wintert. Add gloss and protection to your sad and gloomy locks with  Kasia's Off the Fritz.  This is  a great leave-in that protects the  hair from heat and UV rays, while leaving your hair weightless and with shine.  "Oh yeah, it protects that beautiful color you invested in!"

A Rx Prescription for Nutrition

Skinless Chicken

Skinless chicken breast is another healthy source of protein, and it's rich in B vitamins — folate, B6 and B12 — that maintain healthy hair. These vitamins play an important role in the creation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to all body cells, including those of the scalp, follicles and growing hair. When the body is deprived of B vitamins, the cells can starve, causing shedding, slow growth or weak strands that are prone to breaking.

Lentils

Lentils are especially high in both folate and iron, two powerful nutrients that nourish your mane. Folate is a B vitamin that aids the creation of red blood cells; iron helps those blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to all body cells. With iron deficiency, a condition known as anemia, cells can't get enough oxygen to function properly. The result can be devastating to the whole body, causing weakness, fatigue and maybe even hair loss. So load up on iron-rich lentils for sturdy tresses — and if you're a premenopausal woman, consider taking a multivitamin that contains iron to replace iron lost during menstruation.

Strawberries

Oranges often get the credit as the best vitamin C–packed fruit, but did you know that just eight strawberries deliver 100 percent of your daily value? Strawberries are a juicy, delicious source of vitamin C, which is largely responsible for the health of collagen. Hair follicles require collagen, a structural fiber, for optimal growth. Even minor vitamin C deficiencies can lead to dry, splitting hair that breaks easily, so eating vitamin C–rich foods like strawberries can help you grow stronger, more resilient strands.

Kale

Beta carotene is converted into vitamin A, which is necessary for all cell growth and turnover. Skimping on beta carotene can lead to dull, lifeless hair and dandruff, which is really just dry skin. Regularly eating kale, a leafy green vegetable, is one of the best ways to pack beta carotene into your diet for healthier locks. You can saut&eacute a bunch or two with a little olive oil and garlic, or try my delicious recipe for crispy kale chips: Cut or tear fresh kale into pieces, place in a single layer on a baking sheet, mist with oil spray and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Herbal Therapy for Hair Loss

  Hair loss in men and women can be treated in numerous ways. The two main categories of treatment are surgical and non-surgical. Among the non-surgical treatment methods, one of the most promising procedures is herbal therapy. Herbal therapy has been found to help  in numerous ways to curb hair loss and stimulate better hair growth. Given below are the some of the herbs and herbs-based therapies which can help  with hair loss.

Therapies based on herbs like palmetto, pygeum and nettle roots have been found to be excellent treatments for hair loss. Since these naturally occurring herbs have the ability to interfere with the chemical processes caused by DHT or dihydrotestosterone, the process of hair follicle thinning and the stoppage of hair production from follicles can be halted. Consequently, with the action of these herbs, the hair follicles will reopen and patients’ hair will once again commence to grow normally.

Another well known herb used to treat hair loss is Ginko Biloba. This herb has been found to have excellent qualities in improving the circulatory system of patients. As a result of improved blood circulation, the hair follicles in a patient’s scalp is expected to get better supply of blood which will contribute to better nourishment, which, in turn will in turn cause the processes of hair growth to be improved and stirred.

Lastly, the world famous herbal drink green tea has been used by many to treat the condition of alopecia. Apart from alopecia, green tea is known to treat and heal numerous other diseases and conditions as well. With respect to the pattern balding condition, some of the valuable contents of green tea have been found to perform a vital function of restricting the enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase, which is directly instrumental in producing the DHT or dihydrotestosterone hormone.

6 Tips to Keep Thin Hair Looking Full and Thick

 Thinning hair is becoming very common and can be a result of many catalysts in the body from hormone havoc to your individual DNA.  As a stylist that specializes in hair loss for women, it is our goal to give our guests the best options for what colors look best with a cut that compliments any hair type or density.

There are techniques that are unique for each individual.  Check out our tips below and don't  leave home without them on your way to your next haircut!

Get Banged!

Hair that is thin at the crown but thick in front:  Try bangs to create a fuller look. Color!  Ask your colorist to take a section of hair underneath the bangs and color it two shades darker than the rest of your hair color which will create a dimension and make your hair look thicker.

Thinking Twice Before Layering

Ask your stylist to cut the under-layer of your hair a half an inch shorter than the top layer. This will add fullness by “pushing” the hair up.  BEWARE of a razor because that can create frayed ends that make your hair look wispier. To give fullness to fine or thin hair, keep ends blunt.

Get Color to Add Dimension

Add shing with Color!  Peroxide doubles the thickness of each strand by swelling the hair shaft, which makes your hair look and feel fuller.   Depositing color also fills the cuticle.  By adding dimension (a mix of shades), it creates the illusion of density. Also, keep in mind that your hair color should match the color of your scalp as closely as possible if you want to camouflage a wide part.

Keep Your Hair Above Shoulder Length

Plain and simple:  If it’s shorter, it will appear thicker.

Mousse It Up

Lift it up!  A foam or mousse gives your roots a boost and creates longer lasting volume  . Steer clear from creams and heavy gels.

Blow-Dry Gently

Don’t subject your hair to more wear and tear than necessary—let it air-dry 80 percent, then use a round brush to lift the roots and smooth the ends.

Strategy!  When blow-drying, don’t part your hair where you normally do before you blow-dry to avoid it going flat along the part, which is exactly where you want some height. Instead, part your hair on the opposite side. When you’re done blow-drying, flip it back and you’ll have your desired volume. Try Extensions

Extensions are now for the “every day women” wanting to add a little fullness to a little bit of length.  You can add 3 extensions or more, a minimal amount is needed. If your hair is full at the crown, but wispy from the mid-length to ends, they’ll give you a lush style in minutes and last (professional) up to 3 months.

Restore with Keratin

Fill and Restore! Look for a healing and temporary keratin treatment.  It’s best to do this every 4-8. It smoothes and coats the hair with a protective layer while also protecting colored hair.   Kasia Organic Salon offers a great keratin treatment that truly chemical free for instant relief.
