Protein is a key fundamental of great hair!

If you feel you are losing more hair than normal, there could be a good reason for that. Change of season's will cause you to lose more hair, but if you feel it's an abnormal amount, there could be a bigger issue. 
Some of the questions I ask my clients are: Are you on new medication, has there been any changes in the amount of a medication, have you had surgery or anesthesia lately or change in diet among others. Our hair is made up of 90% Keratin protein, so weak,dry,breaking hair can be a lack of protein as well. The medications effect our hair because medications get into the bloodstream and our blood feeds our hair... but that's for another blog... 
Things you can try for weak hair or if your losing more hair:
Add more protein to your diet, take a supplement called Biotin that is great for hair/nails or do a Protein Treatment for you hair (Malibu Wellness Miracle Repair) is excellent. If these things don't help, please seek out medical advice from your Dr. 
Anesthesia is really hard on the hair. If you know you're going in for surgery, I highly suggest doing Protein Treatments on your hair prior to surgery and some right after. You will lose less to no hair!! 
The next time you feel your hair is weak, dry or brittle, try a little protein. It's that simple.... By the way, Malibu Protein Miracle Repair Treatments retail at Fringe Salon for only $3 a packet... no excuses for not treating your weak hair!! 
Please post any questions you may have about your hair... I'm happy to answer them for you! 
You are on the Fringe of having great hair!
Let the best in us, bring out the best in you!
