When you start to loose your
hair, you often lose the self-confidence and consciousness of your beauty and
you need to rebuild your image. For men, hair loss produces deep discomfort,
but for a woman (over 30% suffer from thinning hair) the psychological
implications are worrisome.
This is why it is of
fundamental importance to fight thinning hair and its unpleasant look,
by consulting a professional and qualified hairstylist who can offer you
appropriate treatments and a lifestyle than can remedy or at least limit the
problem.
We often forget that hair is alive: it grows, is
nourished, becomes weak, dies and usually grows back.
Hair Treatments for
Follicle Release
is designed to help you give your scalp the best "grow back" conditions possible
for your hair.
Why then do we treat it
superficially, endangering not only its beauty but also its health?
Why do you take the risk of
reaching a "point of no return"?
The hairstylist can help his
clients because he has the qualified tools and special knowledge.
With this manual, Framesi
wants to increase your knowledge, get deeper into all aspects of tinning hair
ands help the professional hairstylist to better understand the causes of a
more and more adverse situation.
Hair Structure
Hair is a complex structure,
made up of a bulb and a shaft. Below the surface of the skin the hair is
encased in a structure called the follicle. Around the follicle is a mass of
cells that are very sensitive to any variations occurring to the bulb, and the
scalp.
The hair bulb contains the
papilla. This element generates new keratin cells which push up the oldest
cells forming he keratinized fibers call the stem, which is the real hair.
The dermal papilla, which
also produces melanin that gives hair its natural color, is nourished by thin
blood vessels leading oxygen and nourishing elements to the follicle and
eliminating toxins.
A healthy follicle is free,
rich in oxygen and lubricated with the right amount of sebum.
If , on the contrary,
sebaceous glands produce a higher quantity of sebum this may create a plug
that suffocates the follicle and consequently the hair bulb. In addition, a
parasite called Demodex Folliculorum may hide inside the follicle and provoke
hair thinning.
This means that the hair
gets thinner and thinner by prducing thinner hair, with short roots and a very
short life cycle.
The hair stem is composed of
three concentric structures: the external cuticle, formed by keratin cells
arranged like roof-shingles in more or less thick layers.
The cuticle cells of healthy
hair strictly adhere to the stem. The thick intermediate section is the cortex
which is composed of keratin cell arranged in long braided fibers.
The cores fibers of healthy
hair are flexible.
The stem core is the medulla
section composed of spongy and soft keratin cells.
The hair life cycle is
composed of three phases:
-
ANAGEN - active growth phase
-
CATAGEN - resting phase
-
TELOGEN - hair loss phase
If hair is healthy, the
anagen phase should be four times longer than the catagen and the telogen
phases together.
Which factors modify the
ideal condition?
There are certainly genetic
and hormonal factors, but there is often "improper maintenance" of the scalp
which should periodically be thoroughly cleansed free from oil, dandruff and
styling products and at the same time should be nourished and moisturized.
Such a treated scalp is
richer in oxygen and this is greatly favorable for hair follicles and bulbs
Early hair aging is also due
to environmental (pollution, sun winds), chemical (cosmetics,
coloring, waving) and mechanical factors as well (hair dryer, drying
hoods, aggressive use of brushes) which may seriously weaken hair. In these
situations, hair does not fall but it becomes dull and weakened and the
hairstylist can help with strengthening, mineralizer treatments which make
hair soft, reconditioned and flexible.
