HOW CAN I STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH?

HOW CAN I STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH?

There are few remedies for baldness and it's important to note that patterns of hair loss are largely determined by genetics. Author, Dr. Earl Mindell, suggests massaging the scalp with an extract of rosemary at the first sign of hair loss. After the treatment, shampoo as usual.

SCALP TREATMENT #1

A hot oil treatment may be something you will want to try. They are great for dry hair, dry scalp and dandruff even. They are simple to prepare, but can be messy to apply. They can bring back shine to damaged hair but not always restore flexibility and bounce however.

Simply add 2 oz jojoba oil and 30 drops of lavender, rosemary or even sandalwood (applied to dry ends of hair is helpful but fragrance lasts for hours). Warm it up and then apply to hair. Put a cap on and then rinse off one to two hours later with shampoo.

SCALP TREATMENT #2

You could start with a basic plant oil and use a few of these suggested essential oils instead of what was referred to in Treatment #1. Juniper is suitable for acne, eczema, and greasy hair or dandruff (but maybe not as suitable for those with kidney troubles). Birch is a skin softener that soothes irritation and psoriasis and helps prevent dandruff. Cedarwood is an astringent for oily and congested skin conditions, acne and dandruff. It relieves dermatitis, insect bites and itching. Clary Sage can be used for mature or acne complexion, inflammation and dandruff. It rejuvenates cells and is also said to encourage hair growth. Patchouli is a cell rejuvenator and antiseptic, the oil treats acne, eczema, inflamed, cracked or mature skin, and dandruff. - Referred by the book, The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy.

Why book an appointment with Phanie,  our expert Esthetician?

*Studies show that 60% of people define their skin type and home care incorrectly.

Deep cleansing of the skin by a professional rids the skin of dirt, debris and environmental factors to allow your skin to maintain a healthy balance and enhance its ability to fight off disease and aging. It also enables the skin to better utilize the products applied for nourishment, protection and exfoliation.

Deeper penetration of products with professional equipment, techniques and products work to allow beneficial ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin for greater results.

Professional facial massage dilates the vascular system, encouraging it to bring nutrients and moisture to the deeper layers of the skin and to remove waste and toxins produced during normal cell metabolism. This stimulation also brings a healthy glow to the skin that only a professional facial massage can produce.

Professional skin care products have a higher percentage of performance ingredients than over the counter products. OTC products need to be benign enough for use by the "masses."

Kasia So-Berry Fresh Soap Nuts

While you slumber..execute soft, wavy hair like Sarah Jessica Parker's!

The great thing about her look is you can get it while you sleep.

That's right.  By following a simple bedtime routine, your shut-eye can turn into some serious beauty sleep.

According to Deborah Dunham, creating great morning hair starts with a good cleansing the night before.

Tips to DIY!

1. Wash hair as you normally would  with your favorite Babo or Hamadi Shampoo!

2. Apply a rinse out conditioner.

3. Finish with a cool/cold water rinse.

4. Towel blot.

5. Apply leave-in conditioner, we recommend Hamadi's LEAVE IN, aside from Shea Spray, it is our TOP SELLER!

6. Apply and detangle with BABO to hair gently from the ends up to the roots.

7. Create desired part and/or fringe sections and arrange hair the way you normally wear it.

8. Allowing for where you wish to create waves, separate strands into individual 2" sections.

9. Gently twist hair into a clockwise direction until the hair is completely twisted (the tighter you twist, the tighter the resulting waves). You can also braid your hair or put it in a ballerina bun for a different wave pattern.

10. Tuck the end of the twisted strand under at the base of the twist and secure with elastics.

11. Go to bed and allow hair to dry naturally overnight.

12. The next morning, carefully remove the elastics.

13. Use fingers to pick out waves and arrange as desired (do not brush it or the waves will come out).

After waking, you only need to scrunch the curls into place with a bit  more  product. For those with a shorter, edgier, spikier style, it looks great with some product in it from the night before."

Try it! Creating your style overnight -- we could all use a few extra minutes before that alarm goes off!

Infrared Sauna Medical Studies and Articles

The evidence is clear. Toxins are every where, in our water, air, food, soaps, shampoos, even in the clothes we wear. It has become commonplace to read about mercury in our fish, jet fuel in our lettuce, heavy metals in our air. Toxins have been directly linked with a host of diseases: cancer, lowered immune function, arthritis, autism, fibromyalgia, alzheimers, neurological and cardiovascular disorders, just to name a few. People living today carry within their bodies a chemical cocktail made up of industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, general anaesthetics, and the residues of therapeutic pharmaceuticals, as well as toxins from alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and illegal drugs. It is a problem that is not going away, at least not in our lifetime. We need to detoxify!

Sherry Rogers MD in her groundbreaking book, Detox or Die, says toxicity is a one-way street leading to disease; the key to healing the impossible is to reverse the toxicity. But what is the best way to detoxify? There are several methods being used today: chelation, where enzyme preparations are injected into the bloodstream, binding toxins as they pass through and are excreted; fasting, with or without herbal and mineral preparations and/or colonics to help to remove toxins; and saunas, removing toxins through sweating.

A Guide of Diffusing Essential Oils and it's Benefits

Benefits of Diffusing

Opt in every room in your house!

Kasia offers many options and reasons for using essential oils, and for many, they leave overwhelmed at times.  GOOD NEWS SOLUTION!

Our H2EO Diffuser absolutely your BEST solution for consistently using essential oils to their maximum benefit. All-in-one, this unit is a diffuser and air purifier.  It is the quietest and most safe and efficient unit I’ve found on the market!

This small unit is very powerful as it cleans the air and while doing so puts out a cool (does not heat and adulture the oils)  mist that transforms water and essential oils into rich, lively health-giving, and disease-ridding molecules.

Safe:

No dropping bursts of glass, absolutely NO heat or flames, particularly safe for children and the elderly.

Easy to Use: You can change the strength and  output with a simple adjustment as well as the 5 different timer settings.  Unlike other diffusers, you will enjoy the timer settings which are particularly nice, as we have learned that olfactory fatigue can occur with dispersing or diffusing any essential oils.

The anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antiseptic properties of the oils kill bacteria and help reduce fungus and mold. Essential oils, when diffused, have been found to reduce the amount of airborne chemicals and metallics as well as help to create greater spiritual, physical, and emotional harmony.

Recommended Diffusing Time

While a diffusers can run continuously until it is out of oil, the greatest therapeutic benefit is received by diffusing oils for only 15 minutes out of an hour so that the olfactory system has time to recover before receiving more oils. This also helps to conserve your oils. A simple way to do this is to use a programmable timer that can automatically turn on your diffuser each hour for 15 minutes.

Oils for Air Purification

Diffusing essential oils in the home or work place is one of the best ways to purify our environment. The anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antiseptic properties of the oils, along with the negative ions and oxygenating molecules that are released when essential oils are diffused, all help to reduce chemicals, bacteria, and even metallics in the air.

Kasia Apothecary Diffusion Blends (Melablend being the catalyst) have shown to kill a very large percentage of the airborne bacteria present when diffused into the atmosphere.

Negative Ions

Negative ions are produced naturally by wind and rain. They help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system which controls rest, relaxation, digestion, and sleep. If you live in a stressful environment, or an environment full of electronic equipment (which produce positive ions), the diffusion of negatively ionizing oils can help balance the ions in the air and produce a more stress free environment.

Oils that ionize negatively when diffused include: bergamot, cedarwood, citronella, eucalyptus (citriodora), grapefruit, lavandin, lavender, lemon, lemongrass, mandarin, orange, patchouly, & sandalwood.

Positive Ions

Positive ions are produced by electronic equipment and are typically found in man-made environments. They help stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, necessary for recovering, strengthening, and energizing. If you live in an environment with an over-abundance of negative ions, such as in the country or by the ocean, you may benefit greatly by diffusing positively ionizing oils.

Oils that ionize positively when diffused into the air include: cajeput, clove, cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense, helichrysum, juniper, marjoram, melaleuca, palmarosa, pine, ravensara, rosemary, thyme, & ylang ylang.

Oils for the Season: Fall/Winter

Fall and winter connote an earthy, heavy scent, rich with the traditions and memories of the holidays.

Oils that work well during this time include: cinnamon bark, pine, cedar, cedarwood, fir, frankincense, juniper, myrrh, orange, mandarin, sandalwood, vetiver, nutmeg, oregano, spruce, tangerine, & thyme.

Oils for the Season: Spring/Summer

Spring and summer connote a light, airy scent, full of life, energy, and possibly a hint of romance!

Oils that work well during this time include: cardamom, citronella, coriander, eucalyptus, geranium, ginger, grapefruit, jasmine, lemon, lime, palmarosa, peppermint, rose, spearmint, & ylang ylang.
