How does the Nutrigro Scalp Roller treatment work for thinning hair?
12 Apr

This is a new treatment for thinning hair or hair falling. It works under the scalp rather than just on the scalp. The treatment uses a plastic device called a Scalp roller followed by the Nutrigro Serum. Use the Scalp roller regularly, in one direction, 6-8 times. The 0.3mm home Scalp roller is used every day or other days.

The Scalp roller is a plastic device just over 1 inch wide.

FHow does the Nutrigro Scalp Roller treatment work for thinning hair?It has 540 small metal needles (although some larger needle rollers are available) of 0.3 mm in length. The Red LED Scalp Roller works about 5 times faster than the normal Scalp rollers as the 633nm Red light is believed to accelerate the rate of cell growth being an effective treatment for thinning hair and hair loss.

Applying it to areas of hair loss or hair thinning causes gently ’damage’ to the scalp. This encourages the body to regenerate and heal. This works to stimulate hair re-growth in areas of hair thinning by encouraging local blood circulation and hence nutrients to the follicles. It is through improved blood circulation in the scalp may also help reduce levels of DHT in this scalp by removing it from the papilla or hair root. The presence of DHT is associated with hair loss in men. A  Scalp roller works by getting the skin to repair itself. Under the scalp it works on follicles, the part from which hair grows, to restore normality.

To create healthy tissue the body produces a substance called collagen. This promotes healthy follicles to counteract and reverse thinning hair and hair loss. A Scalp roller also acts as a catalyst, we have found, to increase the amount of Nutrigro Serum that gets into a treated area. The increase in absorption rate can be many more times more than not using the device. The skin “micro-channels” caused by the action do close relatively quickly so the serum does need to be applied straight away.

Nutrigro Hair Serum is designed to be used daily on the scalp.

Scientifically formulated, it contains botanical complexes, which keep the hair rigid and break resistant and help to clear the build up of dead cells around the follicles allowing growth of existing hair. The formulation is rich in vitamins and minerals to help maintain the growth of existing hair. The sugar beet Betaine in the Serum is believed to improve the production of collagen making the hair bulb stronger.

Improvements using the Scalp roller do vary. Therefore, for the best chance of success,  maintain your Scalp roller treatment, eat healthily, particulalry what is called in Ayurveda, ‘cooling’ foods such as salad and  yogurt. For growth of hair one needs the 22 amino acids that make up hair-as hair is 97% protein plus vitamins and minerals. You would get all these from the 100% vegetarian Nutrigro capsules. Research shows you need to use take these for 3 to 6 months to see full benefit. Use the Nutrigro shampoo can give the fuller thicker looking hair. 88% of people felt the shampoo made thin hair look healthier. We would love your comments on the Nutrigro Scalp Roller treatment.

Do we lose more hair at certain times of the year?

Do we lose more hair at certain times of the year? Yes, some of us do, according to a set of scientists. Circannual rhythms (physiological variations that occur in the same period of the year) can be described as a change in the level of hormones secreted by your body. Scientists believe that these fluctuations explain many pathologies (the scientific study of the nature of the disease and its causes) such as male pattern baldness. A study called the “Tromsø study” screened all inhabitants aged 25 years or older living in Tromsø (Norway) for their Testosterone blood levels over a period of time.

The study showed that Testosterone reaches two peaks during the year, one in February-March and the other one in November-December (Figure 1).  As can be seen from the graph below the biggest peak is in Autumn.

Figure 1 – Shows Total Testosterone (Total-T) and free Testosterone (Free-T) levels during a 12-month period.

It has also been observed by some scientists that more hair is lost in Spring and in Autumn

This coincides with the Tromsø study that shows a seasonal variation (of about 30% by season) of total and free testosterone.

So why does more hair fall out in these seasons?

It is postulated that Spring and Autumn both see a sudden change in climate – both temperature and amount of daylight. These sudden variations in the factors may be stressing the body.

The body responds by releasing the hormone, Testosterone. Higher Testosterone blood levels mean more DHT in the scalp and consequently less hair on your scalp. (DHT attacks hair follicles.) Use hair supplements such as Nutrigro Hair Food Capsules which is rich in the herb Saw Palmetto help keep the hormone as Testosterone rather than DHT.

So do not worry if you are shedding more hair in the Spring and Autumn.

Why to avoid harsh chemicals in hair products

Posted on by admin

First, it was the Brazilian Blowout. Now, hair relaxers, used by millions of women, are under fire. New research suggests women’s reproductive health could be at risk. It begs the question: What are we sacrificing for our hair? Step in just about any salon and you’ll smell the chemicals used in hair products.

“More than 70 percent of our business comes from getting relaxers,” said Chasity Christian, co-owner of the Beauty Bar.

It’s where Audrey Smith gets her hair treated.

“We all feel great when we have our hair done,” Smith said.

For decades, Smith has been getting what’s known as a relaxer to straighten her hair. She’s never given much thought to possible risks.

“Not much and if I did, I figured it was minimal,” said Smith.

“We’ve never had any client come in and say, ‘My doctor says I need to stop getting relaxers’,” said Christian.

Sure there have been warnings about hair products, even from comedian Chris Rock. His documentary “Good Hair” shows a soda can that disintegrates after being submerged in chemicals for several hours.

But now, a new study from Boston University finds evidence linking hair relaxer to uterine fibroid tumors and early puberty

“There used to be a joke: beauty suffers but not to the point of death,” said Tamika Fletcher, co-owner of Natural Resources, a salon in Rice Village catering to women embracing the trend of natural hair. Fletcher says her scalp used to be filled with chemical burns and bald spots when she used relaxers.

“You know, this is one of the few industries that’s not regulated by the FDA, and so if you have the wild wild west of hair care products, everyone is claiming what they want to claim without having to prove efficacy, it makes a big difference. No one is really held to any type of real standard,” said Fletcher.
She and the Beauty Bar can agree on one thing: more research is needed. “Now all of a sudden it’s supposed to be bad for you? Well by now if something was going to happen, it would have happened,” said Smith.

“ There is now new evidence to support what we have been saying for years- avoid harsh chemicals in hair products.” says Ravi Bhanot of Coolherbals.
