In today's hustle and flow world we want everything right now, modern inventions like microwaves, fast food, fast cars and quick weight loss programs put us in a mindset to acquire things more quickly. However, when you apply this mindset to your hair care and want the latest and greatest quick weave, or glue-in, half wig, and quick bun - hair loss and scalp damange can set in just as quickly. Yet, consumers expect an equally rapid solution. Unfortunately, once you allow these types of techniques to invade your hair space, there are no quick soulutions.
I started a series of Journey2HairTransformation workshops in December 2008. I taught the impact of internal and external forces on hair loss. I highlighted body functions, diet and nutrition, and cleasing the digestive system. The process to Hair Transformation is not difficult, but it won't happen over night either.
It's almost simple. Basically you need to identify what your hair and scalp is lacking and what areas of treatment you may need. Once you start your journey there will be many things along the way you will learn and need to change to acheive a healthy head full of hair. But we all know change comes with a price.
Fortunately, the price is commitment and that's free....I have seen time after time where clients start out great, results are great and after a few months they are not encouraged enough to stay on track.
But our lifestyle for hair care needs to change completely. From little girls to adults, we all need to stop the ponytails and braids that are extremely tight, and to stop overproccessing little girls' hair with chemicals too early. Blow drying and pressing the hair too straight is not good for the little girls either. Stop buying the ticket that straight is the best, it is not, that's why so many black women have returned to the natural look they want their fullness back, and some do not want the harshness that a chemical will do to your scalp.
Once you come to a Trichologist listen and be patient, remember you have started a journey, allow the expert to teach and guide you down new avenues. A good Trichologist will consult with you about diet, stress, internal and external damage. I allow my clients to grow in the knowledge of techniques and stressful lifestyles that will hinder the process of hair growth. I encourage you today to make a effort to listen, and know that this is a process that may take 30,60 or 90 days to repair, keep your mind open to what the Trichologist has to offer and let the journey to Hair Transformation begin.
