Ask Jeffrey – “Can I Just Rinse My Hair?”

by Emmanuel

“After I work out I rinse my head, does that do any damage to my hair piece without fully performing the steps?” – Linda

JP_Ask_10_11_13

Linda, thank you for your great question. I am sure many people are asking the same question. After working out, I recommend following the “detangle” step of my Video Maintenance Training. Also, make sure to always use a shower filter when rinsing your hair to prevent against the damage caused by chlorine.

After you rinse your hair, follow-up with towel drying your hair with an absorbent Micro Fiber towel. Then use the Moisturizing & Detangling Spray Conditioner and Wet brush to comb out your hair.

You may also utilize a dry shampoo, in this type of situation, to dry the oils out of the hair prior to washing the next day. Not every dry shampoo can be used on a hair replacement system. Make sure you use one that has been tested and is approved by my salon for your hair system. I also do not recommend using the dry shampoo as a replacement for the maintenance program, but instead as an occasional add-in for situations like after working out.

I hope this answers your question! Please keep your questions coming! For more information on becoming a guest at Jeffrey Paul Salon please email or call us to set up a free private consultation or visit our guest corner for more guest specific information.

JP_BCA_10_9_13

Did you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Did you know that about 1 in 8 U.S. women (just under 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime?

For a woman losing a breast can be devastating, but the effects of chemotherapy associated with trying to overcome breast cancer can lead to hair loss, which for a woman can be even more devastating. Just ask one of my guest’s at Jeffrey Paul Salon, Kristin, who is a Breast Cancer survivor. Kristin put the experience of losing her hair’ from breast cancer, this way,

Screen Shot 2013-10-09 at 9.35.37 AM“Losing my breast was not really the issue. My hair was – as a woman it’s a big part of how people view you… Jeffrey Paul, and his team, gave me back the feeling of beauty both on the inside and with my hair!”

Cancer, in one form or another, touches each of our lives. This month, to show support, help make someone you know aware of the solutions for their hair loss associated with cancer by sharing Kristin’s story and having them email me for a free consultation. By doing so you can give back the feeling of beauty both on the inside and out!

Eliminating Neck and Shoulder Pain: Part 2

by Emmanuel

It has been a few weeks since I shared Mark Roozen’s exercise tip’s to help eliminate neck and shoulder pain. How have you been doing? Is it working? We want to bring you a second exercise you can do in your office to help relieve some of that pain you may still be experiencing in your neck and shoulders.

JP_NeckPain_10_4_13This second exercise is a head and shoulder reach.

  1. In a seated or standing position, simply make yourself at tall as possible. With this movement, think that someone is taking you by the hair and pulling straight up. Screen Shot 2013-10-01 at 1.22.36 PM
  2. At the same time, push the shoulders down and back – PINCH THAT PENCIL!
  3. Slowly tilt your head toward the top of your shoulder. Think that you are placing your ear on top of your shoulder. Screen Shot 2013-10-01 at 1.28.10 PM
  4. Now, slowly and gently, rotate your head, working to bring your chin up towards the ceiling, while trying to keep your ear on your shoulder.
  5. Make sure to do both the right and left side to use this movement to get great neck relief and release tension in the muscles in the upper neck and shoulder area.

You can do this movement 2-3 times a day or any time you start to feel tension build up as you build up your workload throughout the day.

Thank you Mark for more of these important tips for pain relief! Again, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important so you can stay active! For more information on Mark Roozen visit his blog!

Bethany Overcame Trichotillomania

by Emmanuel

JP_BethanyBeforeAfter_10_2_13

“I feel like a completely different person. I can’t remember the last time I felt this confident. I feel like this is how I am supposed to look. They helped me look the way I am meant to look.”  -Bethany 

A fabulous head of hair, a beautiful smile and confidence – that’s what you see when Bethany walks into a room. But it wasn’t always so. In fact, since she was five, Bethany has suffered from Trichotillomania – also known as hair pulling. Not just harmless hair pulling – hair pulling that results in hair loss. For Bethany that hair loss led to drastic action when she was in high school. She was so desperate to get rid of “her problem” that at one point she shaved her head; reasoning that if she didn’t have any hair, she couldn’t pull it out. Thankfully, Bethany was able to correct her situation with a hair replacement system.

PrC3JPjl3uxI-kTvf71eV384ZVUTyJG3GAHoeMlxPjMConsultation:

We helped prepare Bethany for her hair system by carefully reviewing each step of the process – outlining options for color and style and ensuring that lifestyle and preferences were a major part of the final outcome.

Where Are You Going?

by Emmanuel

When planning a trip you do so with a map of where you are going. If you do not have the map for your life how do you know where you are going?  No matter where life may take you, it’s important to take the time to reflect on the plan for your life.  In this video, I discuss three steps on how to figure out where you are going in your life:

  1. Stop, each day, and take a moment to reflect upon your life’s plan.
  2. Listen to that voice within that is leading you in the plan for your life.
  3. Remind yourself of the blessings and desires that are placed within your heart.

Protect Your Hair

by Emmanuel

Jeffrey Paul Restoring Beautiful Hair Conditioner

Hair needs protection! That’s why using my Beautiful Hair Spray Conditioner is so important. Towels, blow dryers, hot irons, and other environmental factors damage hair each and every day. Using my Spray Conditioner after showering not only helps to protect your hair from many damaging factors. It also detangles hair, adds moisture which allows hair to feel more soft and smooth, and reduces frizzy hair.

Here are a few tips to further protect your hair.

  1. If you must towel dry your hair, make sure to use a microfiber towel.
  2. If you need to blow dry your hair or use hot styling tools, make sure that you are using them properly. (For tips, click here).
  3. Understand the 3 T’s of your styling tools: time, temperature and technique.

If you are interested in my Beautiful Hair Spray Conditioner, or any of my other products you are in luck! You have a chance to win a full Beautiful Hair Maintenance Package ($200 value). All you need to do is comment on my blog here, and ask any questions you may have.

Ask Jeffrey – “What is My Hair Loss From?”

by Emmanuel

“I have been having hair loss for about a year and a half now. I thought it was due to stress but it has been continuing. I have had my thyroid tested and the test came back fine. Any other thoughts on causes? I am 37 and no other women in my family have had any other issues.” – Sarah 

JP_WomenThinking_9_26_13

This is a very common question, thank you Sarah.  Determining where your hair loss is coming from is a key step when it comes to understanding your hair loss. In my previous blog post, “Dis-Tress Hair Thinning and Loss,” I touched lightly on a few causes of hair thinning and loss. In this post I want to expand further on the topic.

Sarah is correct to question both stress and thyroid issues initially as the cause of her hair loss as these are two common factors. Other factors include diet and medications. If you aren’t consuming the right kinds—or enough—nutrients, your hair isn’t either. Water, iron, zinc, copper, vitamins A, B, and C, and protein are all essential for hair to grow healthy and strong.  Check out these posts for some good recommendations on healthy snacks and foods that will help strengthen hair.

Lastly, medications can be a contributing factor for hair loss. When taking medications such as oral contraceptives, chemotherapy, and blood pressure medications, each can cause hair loss when taking them and, sometimes when stopping them.

I hope this helps you to understand where your hair loss may be coming from. If you have questions about your hair loss, or other related questions please comment here for your chance to win my Beautiful Hair Maintenance Package.

Watch Judy’s Solution to – Women’s Hair Loss

by Emmanuel

Take a look at this video of Judy and find out why Judy says, “I feel great! I feel energetic, younger, lively and I feel like I have a new lease on life! I feel like myself again.”

At the young age of 53, Judy had already experienced hair loss twice. First when she was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and had to endure radiation and chemotherapy. That time, she was lucky enough to have her hair grow back. Then Judy had to go through radiation and lost her hair again. Unfortunately, this time it never fully came back, and as someone working in the public eye, she was concerned that people could see her scalp.

Cause of Hair Loss in a Hair System

by Emmanuel

HairLossBrushEach of my hair system designs are exclusive to the Jeffrey Paul Salon and are made with technologically advanced materials and proprietary blends of hair. Our hair systems are handmade in which we tie each hair in by hand selecting only the finest quality hair available. This ensures that our guests look natural and beautiful.

One of the greatest desires of our guests is to have their hair system last as long as possible. In order for us to help our guest achieve this goal it is important that they follow a well-prescribed maintenance program including: the right techniques, products, tools and procedures as prescribed by my trained hair specialists.

Because a hair system is a handmade product, natural hair shedding, from continued use, over the course of six months to a year is normal. However, there are a number of actions that can cause excessive hair loss AFTER delivery of your hair system. 

One of the largest factors creating major, ongoing, irreversible hair loss in a hair system is conditioner remaining in the root area. Conditioner that is allowed to be absorbed onto the base of the hair system and gather around the root system will ultimately prevent the root system form pivoting 360 degrees allowing for hair to loosen and fall out or break off at the root.

To prevent against excessive hair loss in your hair system, conditioner MUST be thoroughly and completely rinsed out to avoid excessive hair loss in a hair system.

For more information on how to properly maintain your hair system please visit our guest corner or watch my Maintenance Video. For more information on becoming one of our guests please email or call us to set up a private consultation or visit our LIVE consultation section.

Do you ever get into a negative thinking funk? Nothing seems to be going right and you just can’t find anything positive around you?

Reach For Relief! Eliminating Neck and Shoulder Pain

by Emmanuel

Working daily and sitting hunched over at your desk is one way to really cause pain in your neck and shoulders. Mark Roozen, the former strength and conditioning coach for the Cleveland Browns, discusses exercises you can do, while at your office, to help eliminate neck and shoulder pain.

lhama
The “Push-Me-Pull-Me”
from Movie Dr. Doolittle

Mark Roozen-

Chronic tightness in the shoulders and neck, pain that radiates through the neck and shoulders, reduced range of motion and that stereotypical “office worker hunch” are the great plagues of modern life.

The situation is made worse because of the American mentality of work, “to get ahead we need to do more!” We get caught up in the old “push me – pull me” situation and end up like the animal in the Dr. Doolittle movie, not sure if we’re coming or going!

We want to get ahead at work, so we spend more time at our desk, work to get in one more client and push to do more and more. But if we spend too much time working away in the head forward, shoulders rolled, hips tucked under position, we risk repetitive use injuries that will start taking a greater and greater toll on our bodies, our health and wellness and our performance levels — and we will end up doing less but taking more energy to do it. We work harder to become less effective and efficient!

So what’s the solution?!

Is Towel Drying My Hair Damaging It?

by Emmanuel

You may be damaging your hair in the worse way possible. How you ask? From the friction you create when towel drying your hair. When you dry your hair with a normal bath towel, in a rubbing fashion, the loops in that soft towel cause friction and tangles which leads to breakage and cuticle damage.  So how can you dry your hair?

Simple! By using the right micro fiber towel and the right technique for drying will leave your hair almost 80 percent dryer while still leaving enough moisture to keep hair healthy.

Watch Kristin’s Solution – To Chemotherapy Related Hair Loss

by Emmanuel

Take a look at this video of Kristin and find out why she says, “Losing my breast was not really the issue. My hair was – as a woman it’s a big part of how people view you… Jeffrey Paul, and his team, gave me back the feeling of beauty both on the inside and with my hair!”

Kristin is a stage one breast cancer survivor. As a result of her chemotherapy, she knew she would lose her hair. That was both scary and confusing. She had always been known as someone with a full head of thick, blonde, beautiful hair. Even though she knew her hair didn’t define who she was, she was still very overwhelmed and needed to find a solution that would work for her.

Ask Jeffrey: Are Bargain Brands OK?

by Emmanuel

JP_SulfateScribbleQuestion_9_10_13“I learned a lot about hairspray from your video. What about shampoo? Are the bargain brands OK, like White Rain or Suave?” ~Joyce B.

This is an excellent question! There are two things to look for when picking a shampoo.

1. What types of ingredients are used is in the product.

2. Which ingredients are listed as the top 3-4 ingredients?

Most bargain brand products are not using high quality grade ingredients because they are expensive and they wouldn’t be able to sell their products for a “bargain”. You want to look for a shampoo that contains USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade ingredients.  These types of ingredients are more expensive than normal ingredients because they must meet standards for strength, quality and purity. However, this also means that the ingredients are much higher in quality which allows them to deliver the best possible results for your hair. Remember, you ultimately get what you pay for.

Next, most bargain brands list water as the first ingredient which means that the product is primarily water versus cleanser. My Beautiful Hair Moisturizing Shampoo has the cleansing agent listed as the 1st ingredient. This means that the majority of the product is made to cleanse and moisturize your hair. By having the cleansing ingredient listed as the first ingredient means that you can use less product and still get the best results. This ultimately allows you to save money. Versus using a product that lists water as the first ingredient which you will need to use more of to get even close to similar results.

Check out my post on How NOT to Waste Product for an additional tip on the biggest culprit of wasted shampoo.

I hope this helps. Keep your questions coming and keep an eye out for our step-by-step Maintenance Video and Free Maintenance Package giveaway coming out later this month!
