Is your hair aging you? If you aren’t treating it the answer is yes. The truth is that anyone over the age of 30 willl eventually have finer and thinner hair than when they were younger. Genetics plays a role in determining what you started with but hair care and treatment can determine what you end up with.

50+% of women can show signs of female pattern baldness. This is a genetic and hormonal and this type of thinning can cause sparseness around the crown. Women don't lose their front hair line but they will experience a generalized sparseness. Hair loss is especially hard for women because it often represents their sexuality. Remember the old expression that the mane is considered a woman's crowning glory?

The most common treatments today are Minoxidil (to increase vascularity), testosterone blockers (spironolactone) and estrogen (birth control pill or patches). These should all slow the shedding. Other causes of hair loss are telogen effluvium (caused by a stressful event such as pregnancy, weight loss, or surgery) and Alopecia which is total hair loss in sections or completely (autoimmune).

So what can we do to prevent our hair from giving away our age? Hair is no longer alive but nutrition plays a big role in its strength and durability. So remember to eat with your hair’s proper nutrition in mind:

- Protein is very important and necessary for strong hair growth. It is also important to take MSM 3000mg twice a day and Biotin, up to 5000mg daily (as vitamin supplements). We carry two products that we feel are exceptional for your hair. Both treatments have been shown to be effective.

The first in Jan Marini's Age Intervention Hair Conditioner. This post-shampoo scalp treatment contains spironolactone to block the effects of testosterone on the hair root. It also contains vitamins, Japanese green tea, wheat protein and retinol. Retinol is known to increase stem cell production and allow easier transport of vitamins across the skin barrier. Use it after shampooing if you are using it just for maintenance. If you are using it to stop hair loss, then we suggest using it every day or at least every other day. Do use this product sparingly and apply it to the scalp. Massage it in after you apply it. Remember the hair on our head has a different growth cycle so if your hair stops falling out in 4 to 6 weeks this is considered a success.

The second product is DNC Spectral RS® which works by addressing multiple causes that lead to thinning hair such as perifollicular fibrosis and internal factors such as stress, hormonal disturbances, lack of vitamins and mineral salts, and the use of certain medications.  Perifollicular fibrosis is a condition that accompanies all hair loss whereby the collagen around the hair root becomes rigid and tightens, pushing the root to the surface and causing premature hair loss.  Other ingredients in DNC Spectral RS® help improve the nutrition, circulation, and metabolism of the follicle. Nanosome technology allow better penetration and effectiveness of the product.
Primary Ingredients: • Aminexil • Retinol • Nanosomes • Vitamin Complex • Herbal Extracts Shake before use.
Recommended use of this product is as follows:
- Apply 14 or more sprays directly in the area of hair loss/thinning hair, twice per day. 
- Rub in the liquid evenly over the entire area.  Do not rinse. 
- DNC Spectral RS® should be applied whether your hair has been washed or not.

For men hair loss we suggest Spectral DNC. Spectral DNC® is the world's most effective topical hair loss treatment. Spectral DNC lotion contains highest quality research grade Minoxidil, Aminexil, Adenosine, and Procyanidin B-2 and C-2 encapsulated in DS Laboratories nanosomes.  Nanosomes are organic micro-spheres that are approximately 200 times smaller than human cells and penetrate into the lowest levels of the skin and release the active ingredients gradually over a 15 hour period.  In addition to these clinically proven compounds, Spectral DNC® contains a vitamin and mineral complex, herbal extracts, copper peptides, and retinol to help re-grow normally strong and healthy hair.  These ingredients work synergistically to deliver maximum results.
