The Science Behind Beauty Sleep

Simple Way To Grow Your Hair & Trichotillomania

How to keep blonde hair bright is a question I am often asked as a hair colorist.  Overtime blonde hair, particularly solid bleached blonde, will oxidize and strange hues may emerge.  Most stylist will recommend purple shampoo and/or conditioner which can assist in canceling yellow hues, but does not remove build up.  An easy hack is to use an acid such as "vitamin C" mixed with water as a hair rinse.  You must proceed with caution since Vitamin C contains ascorbic acid and will dry out your hair quickly.  On blondes in particular a heavily diluted mixture used on washed and towel dried hair works best.  Some use a lot of vitamin C with shampoo to completely lighten hair, but our goal is to gently remove build up on blonde hair from metals in water etc.

Trichotillomania Awareness and Acceptance.  As a stylist working with hundreds of clients with Trichotillomania, I feel the need to share a story that may sound familiar to many.  A mother enters the salon with her shy daughter - they are both apprehensive to speak.  The young girl (approximately 13) is wearing her hair in a bun with a head band over the front of her hair.  Her mother explains that  her daughter has not let her hair down for over a year, and refuses to let her see her hair.  I take them to a private area, and brace myself, I believe her mother may not know the extent of the "issue" her daughter is having with her hair.  I ask them both if they have heard of  "Trichotillomania" a body focused repetitive behavior which involves pulling out ones own hair.  The mother seems to have some knowledge, but could not understand it.  The daughter sits silently as I ask permission to see her hair, she reluctantly agreed and I began to take off her scarf and ponytail.  Her mother was shocked as tears ran down her face.  The young girl just looked down in shame.
