How many everyday medications could have an effect your hair
Araz Nelson from combed education has been a hairstylist for over two decades, starting her career when she was just 15.
She has carried out months of research on the effects of different medications on the hair, the side effects that can be experienced, and how this can produce unstable - sometimes terrifying - results when using chemical treatments such as hair colour!
We discuss how minerals and medications are excreted from the body, including inhabiting the hair. The Contraceptive pill, aspirin, thyroid medication, blood pressure treatment, to name a few, can all have different negative effects on the hair.
She shares the benefits of her experience through her own education brand, including her podcast, to help inspire and develop others, as she knows how much learning has enabled her to grow professionally and also personally.
Araz believes that you can always learn more, and you can gain from those around you, such as our clients, who can be an untapped resource! Education and knowledge should be sought out to ensure you excel in your career and enjoy what you do.

Losing hair after cancer treatment ~ finding your 'new normal'.
Ania Kasprzak shares her story of her ten month long fight with triple negative breast cancer- one of the most aggressive types!
And yet despite this, and her previous heart attack, or maybe because of these, she believes in the power of positive energy and community.
She says that following her cancer treatment, one of the most emotionally difficult moments for her was when her hair started to come out in handfuls.
She describes her experience with no hair as a mainly positive one, with people being nicer to her, and sharing their own stories with her. She didn't feel that wigs were for her, and so she went around bald or sometimes wore a hat, if it was cold!
We explore how beating cancer can feel like just the beginning, and how there can be a huge journey of recovery after, where life is slightly different and you have to find a new routine, including filling your time which was taken up with hours and hours of treatment.
She also talks about how waiting for her hair to grow back in was torturously slow and a very emotional time for her.
Whilst looking for something positive to fill her time, she took a stained glass course with Kent Adult Education. She took inspiration from the stained glass windows of her childhood catholic church, and started making angels, using recycled materials to help create them.
She finds this therapeutic, and in this way is managing to touch the hearts of many and spread her positivity and love.

Overcoming Alopecia Areata ~ How re-evaluating your work/ life balance can have a positive impact on your health
Faced with hair loss, and having a very busy, stressful lifestyle, Karoliina Saunders, a salon owner, educator and international session stylist, made the very bold decision to shave her head, despite believing that hair is a key part of a person's identity.
Along with re- evaluating her work- life balance, she has completely changed the way her salon operates to ensure the mental health and wellbeing of herself and her staff, as well as being able to offer her clients her complete time and attention for their whole visit. We talk about how she made the decision to slow down in her business and take a different approach to seeing her clients.
She also shares her own hair loss journey and talks about how she finds it empowering to know that she may be helping others who are going through the same thing by taking about it. It can be reassuring to know you are not alone, and how important it is to have someone to talk it through with.
We discuss choosing the right wig for you, how to get one personalised and cut, and how to look after it.

HELLO GORGEOUS!
Kim Becker, a hairdresser of more than 30 years, started to feel like there was more she should be doing to help people.
She made the amazing decision to start a non-profit mobile studio to visit cancer patients in their homes & pamper them at a low point in their life. She wanted to help women fighting cancer to keep a positive mindset and feel empowered.
'Its the doctor's job to treat your cancer and my job to help you look good whilst doing it'
Having experienced cancer herself, she can empathise with her clients and work with others taking a sensitive approach.
Hello Gorgeous has developed virtual makeover videos, and a training programme to enable salons to care for clients with a compromised immune system safely.
She believes there is always a lesson to be learned from adversity.

SMP ~ When a career change leads you to enhance people's lives
Will Quaye began doing scalp micropigmentation in 2019, and has completed a foundation course in Trichology.
He loves how low maintenance and user friendly the treatment is, combined with seeing how his clients have increased in confidence and are happier.
He describes some people who come to see him as desperately suffering, and how amazing it is that something that could be deemed as cosmetic can make such a difference.
He offers a personal level of service, and says every scalp and every treatment is unique.
We also discuss how you can persuade clients to promote and share your work when you are offering a very personal and private treatment.

Does alopecia affect beard growth? ~ How to promote a healthy beard
Tudor Tanase, known as The Hairloss Dude, began to take an interest in hair loss when he wanted to improve his beard growth at 18.
He started to use minoxidil, but found that he experienced negative side effects. As he began to develop the signs of male pattern hair loss, he began to apply the solution to his scalp and the same issues arose, causing dandruff, dry skin and irritation.
He then began to look into the formulation of the different products and the ingredients these products contained.
We discuss how genetic hair loss happens, what is the cause, and how can you access accurate information on effective treatments to prevent unnecessary spending on products and treatments that don't work.
Tudor shares tips on how to promote healthy beard growth, and we explore how Dihydrotestosterone affects hair growth and beard growth in different ways.
He shares his knowledge on product formulations and ingredients to aid the metabolism and absorption of products, and describes how there is a huge difference in the quality and performance of a product depending on the amount and quality of the ingredients and the manufacturing processes.
Tudor notes the lack of innovation in the field by the major brands and how using experienced factories for production is important especially for higher strength formulas.

How to handle those difficult conversations around wigs and hair loss ~ With My New Hair Charity
Hair Therapy
11/14/22 • 48 min
How to handle those difficult conversations around wigs and hair loss.
Ann Fox and Joanne Atkinson both join me for this touching discussion around their incredible work with the My New Hair charity.
Ann's Mum died of lung cancer when she was 18, and this spurred her on to work in nursing.
Similarly Joanne has spent 35 years in cancer care and has a PHD in end of life care after a friend died of leukaemia.
They were shocked to find that although they strive to give their patients the best possible care, the aftercare they received when it came to procuring a wig was severely lacking.
The ladies decided to get involved in the L'Oreal My New Hair programme, along with Trevor Sorbie, to help educate hairdressers in how best to help cancer patients get a better standard of care and service.
They have produced a toolkit to help patients to get a suitable wig and be able to have it fitted and customised.
You can contact the charity for leaflets, resources, templates and information for fundraising and support.

Does sugar have an impact on hair loss?
Hair Therapy
01/08/24 • 43 min
David Barreto began to notice is hair thinning at the age of just 20, and by the time he was 22, this had began to be quite noticeable.
He tried various treatments, but did not see any markable improvement. This led him to look into genetic hair loss, where he found that there has been a lot of research done that hadn't been put into use in commercial products. He wanted to bridge the gap between science and commercial products.
He wanted to create products that used natural solutions, adding compounds found in nature, rather than chemicals or synthetic drugs to treat hair loss, as he found that compliance can be an issue with some medical alternatives, along with the health warnings and side effects putting people off or making them a non- viable option.
He then began to create System K11, a science-led company, of which he is co-founder.
Looking at the driving forces behind genetic hair loss, he found studies that showed a correlation to the rate of hair loss and diet, researching into sugary drinks and type 2 diabetes as examples of how a dysregulated metabolism can have an effect on the mitochondrial rate of respiration which limits the amount of energy the hair follicles gain from the glycogen stores around the hair follicles.
