Anxiety and Hair Loss
Anxiety affects so many people in so many ways. Anxiety is not just a mental issue that only lives in your head; it can also affect your physical health. Anxiety can cause acne, dizziness, sweating, shortness of breath, tiredness, tension, muscle aches, trembling, and hair loss.
Concealing Hair Loss
Can you see your client’s scalp? Hair thinning stems from various conditions and ailments. Depending on the situation, you may find yourself researching cover-up options for clients who wish to see results instantly. However, before you or your client decide which method is the best fit, let’s weigh the pros and cons.
The Science of Hair: What’s going on?
Hair is not complicated in terms of its structure and what it is composed of, but it plays an important role in social functioning. The way we style, cut, color, and maintain our hair all contribute to the way we look. Whether it’s having a signature look or hair you rolled out of bed with it is an integral part of a showcasing personality and identity. But what really is this thing that we spend so much time and effort on? What is hair?
The Importance of Taking Care of the Scalp
We all know that taking care of your hair is extremely important to keep it strong, healthy, and growing, but it is also just as important to take care of your scalp as well. Your scalp may be hidden under your hair, but that doesn't mean it doesn't need to be taken care of properly.
Navigating Your Business Through The Lunar Festival During the Pandemic
It is of no surprise that COVID-19 has drastically changed the way we live our lives and conduct our business. We are constantly adapting and reevaluating our strategies to provide quality service and products in a timely manner. That being said, the obstacles of dealing with international production and shipments during a pandemic has proven to be an immense uphill climb for vendors and hair replacement salons alike, not too mention the end user, the hair wearer.
An Industry In Crisis (Part 1)
At the beginning of 2020, a few salons were seeing increased revenue in comparison to 2019. One hair salon reported, "We were up 25%. And then we were shut down for six weeks.". The pandemic has not only made local impacts, but it also hit us all globally. It is important to remember the repercussions of covid-19 are happening worldwide, not just in our communities. From lockdowns to border closures, the coronavirus has disrupted the system of trade for goods and services in the hair industry around the globe.

The New Normal
The hair restoration and hair industry have been hit hard by the COVID-19 virus. After being considered a non-essential business by the powers that be, we have been mostly inoperative since mid-March/early April. Clients, on the other hand, are clamoring to get back in as soon as possible. Many are willing to adapt to whatever adjustments need to be made in order to get an appointment. Salon owners, stylists, and technicians have mixed feelings ranging from excited to scared and optimistic to apprehensive, and everything in between. It would be understandable to have any of these emotions as the prospect of re-opening looms in front of everyone.
Is It Time For Plan B? C? Maybe Even D??
During these uncertain times, we must all come together and support one another any way we can. A kind word, an encouraging story or even a simple prayer can make all of the difference. So much is not within our control right now and that makes many worried and anxious. Pick up the phone and check in on each other. Share one of those kind words or encouraging stories. Pray for and with each other.
