Holiday Hair Hacks | Kevin Rolston - 043

HAIRPOD™

Ready or not, we are now officially entering the holiday season! In this episode, you’re going to hear some hair hacks to help you get through the holiday season. Attend holiday parties, work events, and all of those evenings with the in-laws with your head held high, even if you’re going through hair loss!

Hair Health - Cleanse and Moisturize

Hair care routines should be adjusted seasonally, so if you haven’t started your winter routine, let this be your sign. Many people struggle with maintaining enough moisture in their skin and hair during the winter, so adding a moisturizing shampoo to your regimen might be the answer for you. Keeping your scalp clean is an essential part of hair health and hair growth, so if you’re worried about thinning hair, find a shampoo that sets your hair follicles up for success. And don’t forget to stay hydrated!

Add Volume and Texture to Your Hair

Thinning hair can be disguised in the short term by boosting the volume of the hair you do have – to an extent! Of course, it’s best to figure out why your hair is thinning and address the root cause of the issue, but if you have a party to get to tonight, calling your dermatologist or trichologist is probably off the table. In the meantime, using a texturizing spray or powder at the root of your hair can help create lift and give your hair a full appearance, even if it’s not as thick as it used to be.

Styling Your Hair for Hair Loss

Your hairstyle can significantly impact how thick or full your hair appears to be. If you haven’t seen a professional stylist who works with clients with hair loss, it’s worth reaching out and at least having a consultation with them. They can help you choose a style that makes the most of the hair you have, and they can teach you what to do at home to achieve the look you want. Just remember, even if they teach you methods that use heat tools, always use them on a low setting and use heat protectant, as heat is the enemy of hydrated hair!

Minimize Continued Hair Loss

Hair loss generally doesn’t just stop all on its own, so you may have to take steps to hold on to the hair you do have. In Episode 034, we talked about using treatments to stop losing hair loss caused by male pattern baldness, so if you haven’t heard that episode, check it out! If you’re still in the process of figuring out what’s causing your hair loss and you want to minimize it in the meantime, many people have had success with using silk and satin pillowcases or hair bonnets (for longer hair) overnight to reduce friction, which ultimately reduces breakage and can help you keep your hair looking full.

Choose a Hair Loss Solution that Suits Your Needs

Hair loss solutions are not a one-size-fits-all thing. First, you need to understand why you are losing your hair. Then you can do your research and consult with professionals that can help you determine what solution is right for you. No matter what the cause, there are options for you that can help you look and feel amazing. If you’d like to talk to someone about what hair loss options are right for you, book a consultation free of charge.
