All About Hair Loss
Hair Loss can be such sensitive and embarrassing situation for women as well as men. Hair is such an important part of our overall look and confidence. Heather, our hair loss expert here at Glance, is going to talk all about prevention and things we can do to help combat hair loss.
Here’s 10 Easy Things You Can Do
1. Wash your hair every single day (clean scalp=happy hair growth)
2. Drink lots of water
3. Take a high grade multivitamin and fish oil supplements (Our Jane Iredale Omegas are AMAZING)
4. Do not smoke and limit amounts of coffee and alcohol you consume.
5. Protein, Protein, Protein! Eat all the protein.
6. Use a salon grade shampoo/conditioner: Better yet, use our Phytodess and 5 Star product line!
7. Regular physicals with your doctor to make ensure thyroid is in check as well as vitamin levels are with in normal range.
8. Make sure you are not pulling on hair, combing your wet hair roughly, or drying it out of the shower with a towel vigorously. Hair loss can occur if your hair is pulled back too tightly in a pony repeatedly or if you are consistently wearing a tight, non breathable ball cap that is old, dirty, and sweaty.
9. Avoid rubbing conditioner on your scalp. Shampoo is to cleanse your scalp and conditioner is made for mid-shaft to ends of our hair!
10. De-stress. I know, easier said then done. But amongst the craziness that is life, we have to find ways to relieve stress. Maybe taking a nice walk daily or meditation?

Laser Hair Therapy
A few years ago, Glance partnered with Laser Hair Therapy of ND and we now offer Red Light Therapy. Red light therapy was discovered as a way to stimulate our hair follicles to ensure they are doing their job; which is to produce healthy hair. We have units you can sit under here at the salon as well as units you can buy to use in the comfort of your own home. Laser Hair Therapy of ND also has a product line that we carry here at Glance mentioned above, 5 Star (Created by a Laser Hair Transplant Doc) which consists of:
A high grade Saw Palmetto supplement (PX complex)
A topical Biotin (Coenzyme)
Shampoo/Pre-treatment to help combat any inflammation that may be occurring on your scalp
Minoxidle blend (MX4).
Don’t put it off anymore.
Hair loss does not fix itself.
Do not lose more hair.
Our Treatment Program starts with a free consultation and evaluation. This includes a microscopic examination of your scalp and hair to determine if you are a good candidate.
If you are a candidate we begin an aggressive treatment program. The program includes 30 minute laser – sessions usually twice a week. We may also recommend supplements or products that work in harmony with the low level laser therapy and enhance long term retention of your improved hair quality. The program will involve 6 to 12 plus months of treatments, along with scheduled evaluations to monitor your progress and help you to achieve the best results you can have.
