Let's Talk Hair by Leonica

Leonica talks about common issues on hair and scalp that customers are concerned with, sharing her experiences on best practices and solutions

Washing Hair Daily

Contrary to some belief, washing hair frequently does not cause more hair fall. In fact, washing hair daily keeps your scalp clean and prevent the accumulation of excessive sebum which can lead to premature hair loss.

Iron Deficiency

Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair loss particular for women. Check your ferratin serum level which needs to be at the level of 75 to 150 to ensure that the hair follicles get sufficient iron nutrient for growth.

Chemical Damage

Hair colouring and styling is very much part of our lifestyle. They can damage our hair and cause scalp irritation. There are measures you can take to ensure that your hair and scalp stay healthy when you colour and style your hair.

Good Comb, Bad Comb

There are various types of combs and brushes designed for different purposes. Make sure you are using the right ones to prevent damage to your scalp and hair.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata or patchy hair loss is not common. But it can be quite a shock as it happens overnight! It is an autoimmune problem where your own white cells start to attack your hair follicles. The good news is that alopecia areata can be effectively treated.

Scalp Pimples

Scalp has a high concentration of oil glands. Excessive oil on the scalp provide the breeding ground for bacteria to multiply leading to various scalp problems. This can be due infrequent washing of hair, use of wrong hair products, food, weather change, onset of puberty and stress.

Hair Bulbs or Follicles

Sometimes you see a transparent or white bulb at the end of a hair that has fallen out. Many clients worry that their hair follicles have fallen out and there will be no more hair growth. This is not the case.

Low Vitamin D

Surprisingly, despite our sunny weather, many of us suffer from low Vitamin D levels. Low Vitamin D is linked to hair loss. It also leads to low energy and fatigue, cold intolerance, and even depression. Leonica visited the Iron Suite clinic to have her Vitamin D level checked.

White Hair Treatment?

Some have it early, some as they age. Stress is definitely a contributing factor. But can we reverse white hair?

Scalp Massage

Scalp massage relaxes the scalp muscles and helps circulation. Can it also causes more hair to be pulled out? It can, but not if you massage correctly.

Post Partum Hair Loss

More than 50% of women suffer from post partum hair loss due to hormonal changes during this period. Take simple steps to minimise excessive hair fall during this period..

Baby Scalp Care

Take good care of the scalp and hair of your baby in the early formative stage to set the foundation for a healthy scalp and a full head of hair as they grow.

Split Ends

What causes split ends? Is there a treatment for split ends? What you can do to prevent split ends.

Swim Protection For Your kids

Exposed to the sun and chlorinated water, the hair of your kids are easily damaged and tangled while swimming. Protect their hair while they are having a good time.

Rebonding Gone Wrong

Not properly done, rebonding can lead to hair breakages and scalp burn. An unfortunate client had a traumatic experience.

Keratin Treatment

Keratin treatment is a chemical process. We need it to achieve the hairstyle we want but it can also damage our hair. It is all the more important that you keep your hair healthy with good hair care routine.

Treatment Equipment

There is a deluge of hair treatment equipment in the market. Leonica talks about the equipment we used at the centre – how they are used, what are they used for and their effectiveness.
