The Right Kind of Oily Hair: Benefits of Natural Oils

Hair gives you confidence and the ability to showcase your unique personality through freedom of expression. Your hair should receive the love and care it deserves. Natural oils are beginning to solidify a place in cosmetology. The multiple uses of these oils can include scalp stimulation or treatment for dandruff. Natural oils come in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few of the prevalent oils in the hair industry today.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil, the most popular oil due to its natural ingredients and health factors, can be used as a deep conditioner to moisturize the scalp and add shine. For those combating long tresses, All Natural Living suggests adding coconut oil to diminish the tangles.

Cedarwood Oil

According to HealthyFocus.org, Cedarwood oil is popularized for its aroma effects and usage as an insect repellent. Cedarwood oil is now gaining popularity in the world of cosmetology as a strengthener. It helps to stimulate the hair follicles and blood circulation of the scalp. You can reap the benefits of cedarwood oil by adding it to your conditioner or rubbing the oil directly on the scalp.

Peppermint oil

Peppermint oil contains menthol, an active ingredient that produces a cool, rejuvenating sensation. According to HealthyandNaturalWorld.com, peppermint oil should be mixed with carrier oils, such as coconut oil or jojoba oil, and applied as a topical treatment.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree oil is known to fight bacteria and is popular for its healing effects. According to teatreeoilforhair.org, the oil is applied topically and can relieve dry scalps full of dandruff. Tea Tree oil leaves the hair free of itchiness, dryness, and discomfort.

Avocado Oils

According to Goodhealthacademy.com, Avocado oils have a lubricating factor that produces a coat on the hair which intensifies the hair’s strength and shine. Avocado oil leaves the hair stiff-free by serving as a moisturizer, fighting against knotting hair, and removing excess dandruff.

PRP Therapy As A Hair Loss Solution

According to US National Library of Medicine website Platelet Rich Plasma PRP is scientifically known as autologous blood with concentrations above baseline levels containing at least seven growth factors. In other words, PRP is just taking a portion of someone's blood separating it into two layers: one layer is the platelet rich plasma that contains small colorless disk-shape cells (platelet) and the red blood cells. Platelet rich plasma is a natural source of growth factors that is used to promote soft tissue healing and is used today as a solution to hair loss.

Platelet Rich Plasma was discovered in 1999 by different companies, according to bones and joints expert, Dr. Joseph Aiello. Dr. Aiello said, "oral surgeons and plastic surgeons were the first to get on board with PRP." Oral and plastic surgeons used PRP when doing reconstructive bone surgery and plastic surgery. The enhancement of the healing after surgery was the motivation for the use of PRP.

At one point PRP was very expensive. Later doctors started to use PRP to stabilize different joints. Athletes like Tiger Woods, Hines Ward, the Pittsburg Steelers and Stanford football players would use PRP to heal injuries quicker so they can get back to playing before choosing the option of having surgery. The results of using PRP to heal and stabilize joints turned out fantastic! In 2004 Menlo Medical clinic's, Dr. Allan Mishra did a study of the use of PRP and found that 90 percent of healing was at the six-month mark on injuries that were 20 months old.

Today PRP plays a significant role in hair loss restoration. International Hair Restoration Systems offers Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, an advanced hair restoration solution for men and women. For this safe and comfortable procedure with little to no downtime, the platelets are distributed directly into the hair follicle stimulating growth.

The steps of the PRP process consist of transferring stem cells to your hairline, crown or the top of your head to be used to help promote hair growth and reverse hair loss. Blood is drawn and placed into a machine with a rapidly rotating container, known as a centrifuge, that separates the plasma that includes substantial growth factors from the blood. It is then placed in the scalp. Platelet Rich Plasma is an outstanding technology used to heal scar tissue and hair follicles, while also helping to thicken the existing hair follicles that are weak from hair loss.

How Hair Restoration Systems Can Help Your Thinning Hair!

Julie is a young and beautiful woman. No one would ever know that from the age of 15, she suffered from thinning hair. "It is something that really damaged my self-esteem," Julie explains. After years of watching her hair become thinner and thinner, she decided to make a call and learn what options were available for restoring her hair.

Female hair loss ran in Julie's family, so she had a good idea of what her future would look like. She did some research and discovered that in the modern world, there are hair restoration options for women that appear completely natural and are easy to manage. She describes taking the first step and scheduling that first appointment, a free consultation, as a difficult one, but "it was private, making it a lot easier and more comfortable for me."

Julie worked with a hair restoration specialist to determine the cause of her hair loss and what the best possible solution for her may be. After presented with the options, Julie chose a hair replacement system. Now, she is thrilled with her results!

"I feel like the real, beautiful, confident person that I am."

Hair replacement systems are available at IHRS for both men and women, like Sensigraft and Reallusions. Reallusions is a non-surgical hair replacement system for women that features a second skin-like membrane, which is grafted to your scalp to become a seamless transition between your own growing hair and the hair replacement system. The result is a completely natural appearance that is virtually undetectable. Sensigraft is a similar product, created for men. Both hair replacement systems can be cut and styled however the client chooses. For more information on hair replacement systems, visit www.Hair4Me.com.

At first, the decision to restore her hair was difficult for Julie, but now she has zero regrets. You can feel this way too. Make the call to schedule your first FREE consultation with IHRS and receive a professional hair and scalp analysis to determine your options. Call now at (904) 425-5097!

NeoGraft®: The Best Method of Hair Transplantation

Modern technology in hair restoration has come a long way and with that, there are now multiple options for hair transplant procedures. Which method is best and how does it work? Read on to discover what makes the NeoGraft® hair transplant procedure, available at IHRS, so impressive.

NeoGraft® utilizes a Follicular Unit Extraction process, or FUE, which means the hair follicles are removed directly from the donor areas with no need to cut into the scalp. Patients are able to benefit from the fact that this style of transplant is minimally invasive, allowing for a much shorter recovery time when compared to other hair transplant methods. Also, thanks to the FUE method, the procedure is virtually painless and creates no linear scars.

"NeoGraft® is less invasive and offers more comfort to our patients. We are the exclusive provider of this technique in the Jacksonville area, and our patients benefit from it."   -- Dr. Brett Hirsch, of IHRS

Pneumatic pressure is used to extract the follicles and strategically implant them. Not touching the follicles with forceps during the harvesting means they will be in a healthier state upon transplantation. The hairs selected are hairs around the base and sides of the head which are naturally programmed to keep growing and not fall out.

The cost of a NeoGraft® Automated Transplant procedure is comparable to the traditional "strip" method of hair transplant but less expensive than manual FUE procedures offered at other hair restoration clinics. This also means that with NeoGraft®, the patient will spend less time undergoing the transplant.

The results speak for themselves. NeoGraft® has created amazing transformations for both men and women all across Jacksonville and North Florida. This modern hair transplant technique allows for the most natural appearing results to date. With NeoGraft®, you can grow your own hair.

There may be several options out there for hair transplants, but NeoGraft® could be the best solution for you. To find out, you have to take the first step of calling IHRS or visit our website to schedule a Free Hair and Scalp Analysis. There, we can determine the cause of your hair loss and if you are a candidate for a NeoGraft® procedure. For more information, visit www.Hair4mMe.com or call (904) 425-5097.
