CAN COVID-19 CAUSE HAIR LOSS?
People develop noticeable hair loss after recovering from COVID-19
Months after recovering from COVID-19, many people find that their hair is falling out in large clumps.Woman holding hairbrush full of hairIf we’ve learned anything from the coronavirus pandemic, it’s to expect the unexpected. The hair loss that many people develop, however, may not be so unexpected. Here’s why.Temporary hair loss is normal after a fever or illness
Fever is a common symptom of COVID-19. A few months after having a high fever or recovering from an illness, many people see noticeable hair loss.While many people think of this as hair loss, it’s actually hair shedding. The medical name for this type of hair shedding is telogen effluvium. It happens when more hairs than normal enter the shedding (telogen) phase of the hair growth lifecycle at the same time. A fever or illness can force more hairs into the shedding phase.Most people see noticeable hair shedding two to three months after having a fever or illness. Handfuls of hair can come out when you shower or brush your hair. This hair shedding can last for six to nine months before it stops. Most people then see their hair start to look normal again and stop shedding.
Telogen effluvium causes noticeable hair shedding
Telogen effluvium causes noticeable hair shedding, but that’s all you should experience. If you have a rash, itchy scalp, or burning, something other than telogen effluvium is likely causing your hair loss, and it’s time to see a dermatologist.Stress can cause temporary hair shedding
Even if you never developed a fever or COVID-19, you may still see hair shedding. Emotional stress can also force more hairs than normal into the shedding phase. And who isn’t feeling more stressed and anxious during the pandemic?Again, the hair shedding begins about two to three months after the stress starts. While seeing your hair fall out in clumps can add to your stress, it’s important to try to de-stress. Only when the stress ends will the excessive hair shedding stop. Hair tends to return to normal on its own
When the cause of your hair shedding is due to a fever, illness, or stress, hair tends to return to normal on its own. You just have to give it time. As your hair grows back, you’ll notice short hairs that are all the same length by your hairline. Most people see their hair regain its normal fullness within six to nine months. If you suspect that your hair loss is caused by something more than telogen effluvium from stress or a fever, talk with a hair-loss expert, a dermatologist.

KeraSpa Brazil Natural Keratin Smoothing System 0% Formaldehyde

Keraspa Keratin TreatmentKeraSpa natural keratin smoothing treatment that now contains 0% Formaldehyde, Acai & Guarana fruit extracts with the addition of Argan oil.  It smooths and reduces the volume of the hair in an easy and natural way.  The treatment has combined two of Brazil’s natural assets, the Acai and Guarana fruits, with the newest technology of using amino acids, to provide women with their desired straight hair.  Once the smoothing procedure is completed, the hair cuticles are completely filled and sealed.  KeraSpa Natural smooths and reduces the volume of the hair.  The results are visible in the first application.

Argan oil is derived from the argan tree endemic of Morocco now mainly in the south-west.  Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, it is widely used revitalizing this product brings shine to the hair while restoring its natural softness and silkiness.

Besides the numerous benefits of the Acai and Guarana fruit extracts, we added Argan oil.  KeraSpa smoothing treatment is rich in keratin, vitamin C, B1,B2, minerals, proteins, white clay and polyquarenium.  KeraSpa’s 0% formaldehyde formula straightens the hair not chemically but physically, using cysteine amino acids synergy.    The new combination regenerates and restructures the hair; therefore restores moisture, softness, brightness, vitality with a natural lasting smooth and silky effect.

This new KeraSpa system promotes curls relaxation and repairs damage caused by chemical processes in a single step.  Due to its ability to penetrate the hair fiber, it provides brightness, restoration, conditioning, and strength to the hair fiber that may already be damaged by chemical process.

Chemically treated hair, whether by color process or other relaxers or straighteners, will have better results using the KeraSpa Smoothing treatment, since the hair is already porous and the cuticles are already opened due to these processes.  Chemically treated fine or coarse hair, can achieve 100% efficiency results in the first application since the structure of the hair are already, altered due to the breaking of the disulfide bridges (structural links of the hair).

Most virgin hair has their cuticle layers and aligned.  The penetration and action of the treatment in this case becomes harder.  In virgin hair wavy frizzy hair, a volume reduction of up to 50% in the first application could be achieved.  The percentage will be greater after the second application. However, on virgin hair without volume and of smooth texture, 100% effectiveness could be achieved in the first application, leaving the hair smoother, aligned and well balanced.

You can get a chemical treatment like coloring your hair 2 days before or 2 days after the smoothing treatment.  The KeraSpa smoothing treatment results can last from 8 to 12 weeks; however there are some factors that can decrease the duration, such as excessive exposure to the sun, pool, sea water, washing your hair with a sulfate -free shampoo and conditioner and the constant use of hair bands.  Dry your hair with a dryer (movement top to bottom).  It is not necessary to use a brush.  This will allow your hair to stay straight.

 

Brazilian Keratin Treatment

Brazilian Keratin Treatment
I attended the Chicago Midwest Hair Show two weeks ago. One of the things that I wanted to achieve is getting certified working with the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. It is a great product if someone wants to take out 100% of the frizz and up to 80% of the curl. The results from the treatment are soft frizz free hair with incredible shine and lasts up to four months. It can be used on any kind of hair even over processed hair. It will make your hair feel like silk. The treatment will not damage your hair at all! The treatment takes about two hours to do on short to mid-length hair. For longer and more texturized hair it will take alittle longer. Let me know if you are interested in the Marcia Brazilian Keratin Treatment.
