 Have you noticed more hair in your shower drain lately? Maybe your brush seems fuller than usual, or your ponytail does not feel as thick as it did a few months ago. Before you panic or start buying every hair growth product you see online, take a breath. You are not alone in noticing changes in your hair this time of year. Seasonal hair shedding is a topic receiving fresh attention this October, with recent beauty and dermatology coverage discussing why some people notice increased shedding during late summer and fall. Research suggests that hair growth cycles can follow seasonal patterns, although the exact reasons and effects vary from person to person.

Let us talk about what might be happening, what you can do at home, and when it is time to ask for professional help. 1. First, Understand the Difference Between Shedding and Brea...

Highlighted Hair Without the Bleach: Why Clip In Extensions Are a Healthy Hair Alternative

You Need Your Hair Done Too: Why Hair Care Is Part of Self Care

In case nobody told you today, you need your hair done too. Not because you have somewhere important to go. Not because someone else expects you to look a certain way. And not because you need to change who you are. Sometimes you simply need to make time for yourself. A hair appointment can be one small way to pause, sit down, breathe, and let someone take care of you for a little while. Your Hair Appointment Can Be Part of Your Self Care Routine Self care does not always look like a full day at the spa or an elaborate routine. Sometimes it looks like finally booking the appointment you have been putting off. It can mean taking time to care for your scalp, refresh your hair, get a trim, maintain your extensions, or simply leave the salon feeling like yourself again. When life gets busy, hair appointments can easily become something we push to the bottom of the list. Work comes first. Family comes first. Responsibilities come first. And eventually, you realize you have been taking care ...

3 Signs Your Protective Style Is Too Tight and Damaging Your Hair

  Nobody should have to take pain medicine for a hairstyle. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to prepare for discomfort when getting braids, sew ins, extensions, or other protective styles. Take something before the appointment. Sleep on it until the soreness goes away. Tell yourself that the tighter the style, the better it will look or the longer it will last. But tight does not mean neat. Tight means tension. And when it comes to healthy hair care, tension is something worth paying attention to. Protective styling can be a great way to reduce daily manipulation and give your hair a break from constant styling. But a protective style should actually protect your natural hair and scalp. If the style is creating excessive tension, your hair may be giving you important feedback. Here are three signs to watch for. 1. Your Scalp Is Sore or You Develop Small Bumps Some tenderness after a hairstyle can happen, especially if your scalp has been manipulated during the app...
  What New York’s New Textured Hair Law Means for Women in Dallas Fort Worth On September 1, a new requirement took effect in New York. Every person training for a cosmetology or natural hair styling license in that state must now learn how to work with textured hair. Curly. Coily. Kinky. All of it. Reading that news, my first thought was not celebration. It was something quieter. Because that requirement did not exist before. Which means for decades, a woman could walk into a salon, sit in the chair of a fully licensed professional, and place her hair in the hands of someone who had never been formally taught how to care for it. Most of us already knew that. We just did not have it written into law. WHAT THE NEW LAW ACTUALLY SAYS The legislation was signed in 2023 and took effect this September. It requires cosmetology and natural hair styling education programs in New York to include instruction on textured hair and a range of curl patterns. Students will now be taught hai...
