The conversation about COVID-19 and hair loss is not over. In fact, a recent news survey reported that hair loss ranks 21 on a list of over 100 COVID-19 symptoms. But it’s not just COVID-19 survivors complaining, it’s men and women stressed about the virus overall, a rise in cases reported, and the oncoming cooler winter months that worsen the situation.
As a stylist, I have always had a number of clients of all ages who complain about hair loss. For the past few years, hair loss among women and men has been trending upwards, but COVID-19 has created a serious hair and scalp epidemic. First, you should know that it’s typical to shed 50-100 strands per day. Increased shedding, a condition called telogen effluvium, often happens several months after a stressful experience, such as pregnancy or illness. The hair eventually grows back. The pandemic is increasing stress levels, shifting the hair growth cycle and leading to increased shedding and a smaller proportion of strands in the growth phase. In fact, the stress of hair loss itself can lead to more shedding!
To deal with hair and scalp issues and directly address hair loss, I created the customized in-salon Oxilogica treatment. Similar to a skin facial, the treatment addresses hair loss while optimizing scalp rejuvenating with four steps including: detox, nourish, stimulate and replenish phases.
Using natural, clean and organic products sourced in Italy, theprocess utilizes a patented oxygen delivery system and scalp massage that has been shown to promote hair growth and reduce shedding and take between 30-45 minutes in total. After several months of treatment, you will notice healthier, denser and more shiny hair. After one treatment, you’ll see an immediate different in hair texture and improved vitality.
To intensify the results at-home, I have created plant-based formulas that accelerate reparative benefits and calm the scalp,including Hair & Scalp Detoxing Drops serum, Scalp Nourishment Treatment, Intense Hair Loss Serum and Hyaluronic Hair Repair & Replenishment. The all-natural ingredients have been used for centuries around the world for their naturally rejuvenating and stimulating properties. These including saw palmetto, wheat germ oil, stella apina stem cells(Edelweiss) and arnica montano (an anti-inflammatory, flowering plant), all shown to promote hair growth and overall skin health and wellness.
