If you are an avid swimmer or just headed to the beach for the summer, I hear the question all the time, is there a safe way to keep my hair protected from damage and from fading? Do I really need to wear a hat all the time… not swim or go in the sun?
Absolutely not! My motto has always been to look yourself and live your life. So here are two tips to help you enjoy the pool and the sun:
Do you ever notice that your bangs and the top of your hair seems to go flat before the rest of your hair does? It doesn’t matter if you have long hair or short, growing hair or a hair addition if your hair is thinner and you want to create lift that lasts I have a tip for you.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not okay with all those chemicals in sunscreen. Now that I have been blessed with two granddaughters it is important for me to help keep them protected from the sun, but without all the chemicals that can be found in sunscreen.
My friend, and our outstanding health and wellness expert, Marisa Dicenso-Pelser, shares some of her natural sunscreen recipes that have 30 SPF+ that are not only great for kids, but for you as well!
“Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.” – Sophia Loren
The true secret to beauty is found in this quote; the secret being that beauty begins within and I continue to share this message with women of all ages and from every walk of life. The reason beauty begins within is because the mirror inside of you is what reflects back to your mind in the thoughts you think of yourself. These thoughts reflect from your eyes, word, and confidence (or lack of) for the world to see you which is how you see yourself.
That mirror for so many has cracks and breaks in it due to life’s experiences and your perceptions of those experiences. As you reflect everyday into the mirror, words are spoken from within you to you like; “I am over weight”, “I never get a break”, “I am getting old”, “My hair is a mop”, “No one loves me”, and many other words of ugly self-talk that you may or may not be aware that you are speaking to yourself. These words can then become your thinking that reflects in your life and your beauty.
Every woman, wants one thing, silky, shiny beautiful hair, however when you have thin or fine hair finding the right product that doesn’t weigh down your hair is not so easy… until now.
Perhaps you’ve been noticing a bit of extra hair in your brush lately, and like many you may feel like you are losing your hair based on a myth that you’ve believed most of your life. It’s time to debunk those hair loss myths and find out the reality to what causes hair loss and thinning and find out if you are really losing your hair!
Myth 1: If your hair is thinning, it’s because of your mother’s side of the family.
Reality: Actually, scientific research proves that hair thinning can occur from mom or dad’s side of the family. Take a look at your immediate family’s hair. If they are losing their hair, you may likely do the same.
Myth 2: Only men suffer from hereditary hair loss.
Anxiety is building as you glare at a date circled on your calendar. You have a wedding to attend and are itching to shed some extra pounds before fitting into that new dress and seeing old friends. At this point, a crash diet seems like a harmless way to lose the weight. Right? Wrong.
Fact: Excessive combing/brushing or brushing hair too aggressively can cause breakage of hair and lead to premature thinning in hair or in your hair systems. When brushing your hair and hair system there are a few things to keep in mind in order to prevent breakage and excessive hair thinning:
Make sure you are using the right type of brush. Just because the brush may look fancy or someone you know uses it doesn’t mean it is right for you. Here is a list of brushes NOT to use. Don’t know which type of brush is best for you – Take a look here for some great recommendations.
When hair is tangly, especially after a shower, make sure to use a detangling product and a detangling brush to help remove the tangles. Click here for a great video on how to do this.

With summer in full swing, there’s no doubt that you (and your hair) will be in and out of a pool. Sounds great, right? Except swimming pools contain a chemical that’s bad for your hair’s health… chlorine.
So, what does that mean for me? Here are a few ways chlorine is bad for your hair:
“Jeffrey, I do a lot of outdoor activities in the summer. How can I protect my hair from the sun?” – Sarah
That’s a wonderful question and I think many people can relate. Damage comes from a variety of factors, but during the summer months the sun is definitely a huge contributor to dry, damaged hair and color fading.
Did you know that, like skin, hair has melanin and keratin that acts as a natural “shield” against the sun’s harmful rays? Unfortunately, it doesn’t renew itself like our skin does. Once hair shafts are damaged, they cannot be repaired. That’s when your hair will feel dry, becomes difficult to style and does not look its best.
So, what’s the best solution? Wearing a hat or covering your hair with a elegant scarf is by far the best protection for your hair. If that does not fit your lifestyle or activity, I highly recommend the Phytoplage Protective Sun Veil. This product is lightweight – doesn’t weigh hair down – SPF for your hair! It helps preserve color and prevent fading by filtering out the sun’s damaging rays, while also adding a luminous veil of shine. So this summer make sure to protect not only your body, but your beautiful hair as well!

So, you’ve gone through your entire day and you’re ready to head to dinner with that special someone. Before you leave, you want touch up your hair. My beauty tip may take a few extra minutes but, it could mean the difference between having beautiful hair or damaged hair!
As I always say, protect your hair. If you don’t, you’ll only do more damage than good – especially if it’s already thin or if you’re experiencing hair loss. I show you how to easily (and quickly!) safeguard and style your hair for that fun night out!

I’ve talked about the importance of taking care of the root of your hair. If the follicle (hair root) of the hair is not getting the right nutrients it can cause the hair to grow thinner, go dormant or even fall out. This is why maintaining a healthy diet and finding the right nutritional supplement, comprised of natural elements, can make a difference in keeping hair strong and beautiful while also maintaining hair for as long as possible.
Take a look at my video above as I show you the vitamin supplement I personally use to get the following results:
A jump start to healthy NEW hair growth
Fuller, thicker & stronger hair
Stronger nails and reduced splitting of nails.
Improved skin radiance

At my hair restoration center, my team and I specialize in helping women restore their hair that has begun to thin or has been lost. I find that my guests don’t necessarily want to stand out with the highest fashion looks, but instead want to look “normal” again. My team and I strive to help our guests not only get back to feeling normal… but more importantly feeling beautiful.
Recently one of my hair restoration specialists, Megan, came to me with a story about a guest she had seen who was struggling with Trichotillomania. Megan explained that our guest had been invited to a formal event and wanted an updo to compliment the gown she planned to wear. She did not feel comfortable going to a regular salon, so her doctor referred her to our center. The guest not only walked out looking beautiful, but more importantly she truly felt special… instead of just normal.
