Viewing
your scalp in a different way
Why scalp health
is the key to healthy hair.
Many conventional shampoos, conditioners and styling products simply coat
the hair and create buildup on the scalp.
Scalp skin and facial skin.
The scalp must be treated properly to keep the scalp environment and hair
looking young, healthy and vibrant.
What are you doing to make
sure your scalp is healthy?
Are you taking the right steps to avoid hair loss?
Why scalp health is the key to
healthy hair.
Conventional shampoos, conditioners and styling products are formulated to
clean the fabric or fiber of hair. Unfortunately, many of these products
simply coat the hair and create buildup on the scalp. This can cause the
follicle to become blocked and further aggravate the overall problems
associated with hair follicle debris. Because your living hair and scalp
need nourishment, scalp skin needs to be clean, moisturized and nourished
daily to be kept healthy.
Scalp skin and facial skin.
People often treat their facial skin with products to prevent the effects of
aging. In much the same way, the scalp must be treated properly to keep the
scalp environment and hair looking young, healthy and vibrant. And like
facial skin, the scalp is susceptible to everything we come into contact
with all day long, every day—things of which most of us may not be aware.
Toxins, air pollutants, chlorine, sunlight, metals, minerals and water
pollution can negatively effect the scalp skin and play a role in hair loss.
Like the face, excessive exposure to the phototoxic effects of sunlight, for
example, allow harmful UV rays to strike and penetrate the skin. This can
cause unnaturally aging of the skin cells of the scalp, possibly harm the
hair shaft and inhibit growth.
What are you doing to make sure
your scalp is healthy?
Are you exposing yourself to harmful toxins by using products that can clog
follicles and potentially damage the health of your scalp and your hair? If
you use shampoos, conditioners or styling products that contain alcohol,
PVPs or animal proteins, the answer is probably yes. Are you taking the
right steps to avoid hair loss? The scalp environment must be maintained to
ensure a very delicate balance. It requires a daily process to keep it
healthy and to sustain hair in the growth phase of development. A healthy
scalp starts with you, and only you can help create the best environment to
promote healthy, long-living hair.

Warning signs and risks
Understanding the risks and recognizing the early warning signs of
thinning
After decades of study, NIOXIN® Research Laboratories have
identified six major reasons you might experience premature hair loss.
Genetic predisposition of hormonal balances and imbalances, as well as the
conversion of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can be inherited
from either your mother’s or your father’s side of the family. A common
family predisposition involves natural, age-related hormonal changes that
can cause hair loss.
-
Acne is inflammation of
the sebaceous glands from retained secretion is associated with DHT and is
an indication of hormonal imbalances that often lead to premature hair
loss.
-
Seborrhea is a
functional disease of the sebaceous glands that produces excess sebum,
which builds up on the scalp. An over production of sebum is a warning
sign indicating the same hormonal imbalances that lead to hair loss.
-
Alopecia areata is a
systemic, non-hormonal cause of hair loss triggered by genetics, diet and
stress and characterized by bald spots that come and go as well as severe,
permanent hair loss.
-
Excessive daily hair
loss is when 50 or more hairs per day are lost and not replaced at the
same rate, indicating potential hair loss problems.
-
Excessive body hair in
men indicates a 50% greater risk of baldness if a man has complete chest
hair; 70% greater risk if a man has chest, shoulder and back hair; and 90%
greater risk if a man has total body hair.
-
Excessive or sudden
appearance of body hair in women points to an imbalance in hormones. This
same hormonal imbalance can cause premature baldness.

Are
you at risk for thinning hair?
-
Stress and trauma
are prone to produce increased levels of testosterone, which converts to
DHT, interrupting the hair growth cycle — constricting the blood supply,
oxygen and nutrient uptake and vitamins to the hair follicle.
-
Nutrition and
diet
play a significant role in hair loss wherein a high consumption of animal
fats, rapid weight loss and liquid protein diets can create a lack of
amino acids, biotin, iron, protein and zinc—all essential to healthy hair.
-
Health issues
such as a malfunctioning of the hormone producing thyroid, and natural
hormonal changes in women due to pregnancy, childbirth and menopause, can
trigger hair thinning and loss.
-
Medications
such as birth control, or any hormonal therapy can encourage hair loss as
the hair follicle is incredibly sensitive to changes. Steroids, specific
chemotherapies as well as many blood pressure, diabetic, heart disease and
acne medications can cause temporary or permanent hair loss.
-
Environmental
factors
such as toxins, air and water pollutants, chlorine, metals and minerals
come into contact with our scalps every day. Pollutants such as pseudo
estrogens and toxins from within our body can also combine to cause hair
loss.
Research shows that many early warning signs of thinning can be sudden or
gradual. They include excessive hair loss, thinning, scalp inflammation, or
the development of bald spots. The earlier you discover, recognize and
address these signs and symptoms, the better your chances for protecting
your health, maintaining hair density and putting an end to your hair loss.
Research also shows us that over the past decade, hair loss is on the rise
in both men and women. For instance, two out of every three men can expect
to be bald or balding by the time they reach 50 years of age. And 36 percent
of all women between the ages of 40 and 49 agonize over some degree of hair
thinning or loss.

Maximum scalp health
equals maximum hair health
It’s clear that the health of the scalp is directly related to the health
and growth cycle of human hair. And practicing proper scalp hygiene requires
a careful process of preventive maintenance and daily care. It takes more
than one step or one product to achieve this.
It’s important to use a system of customized products for your hair type and
condition—products that cleanse the hair shaft, the environment on the scalp
skin and the follicle tissue.
Then, it’s essential to moisturize and energize the cellular activity of the
scalp skin and the living hair, nourishing the hair follicle and surrounding
tissue. This process requires using select cleansers, conditioners and
treatments, supplements and styling products that contain bionutrients, like
vitamins, proteins and amino acids.
Only NIOXIN® has the unconventional ingredients and unconventional products
for that process.
