 Chris asks:

For the last 6 months I have been losing my hair. I have always had very thick hair so I am quite concerned. When I gave blood last month they said to ask the doctor to check my iron. I had a full blood count and was told I need further tests as I am anemia. would this cause my hair loss?

This could account for your hair loss. You could always visit a specialist hair salon or a Tricologist for advice as some specialised ones have machines and treatments for stimulating blood flow to the hair follicle (root).

Now, Lexington International have developed and patented the HairMax Laser Comb to miniaturize the internationally established technology of laser hair care. So now you can bring effective hair care technology into the comfort and privacy of your home, office or hotel - at a fraction of the cost charged by hair clinics.

The results are fantastic you only have to look at the review.
 
 

 Tina asks:

I am an Asian with naturally black hair with a brown tinge to it. I have a shoulder-length layered hair with a side fringe. I want to get highlights, what colour would suit me best (my skin is naturally tanned with a yellow undertone)? And for an oval face shape, what type of highlighting would be best?

Your hair sounds gorgeous as it is but?

I would recommend soft tones of copper or toffee blonde. Given that your hair is layered I would ensure you have fine weaved sections to ensure you keep a soft natural look.

DO NOT be tempted to have them placed on the top sections around your parting otherwise you will always see the re growth coming through every 4-6 weeks.

Only have them applied 2" below your parting and the remaining hair below this. This will give you a beautiful natural effect that will last and prevent you from having to return to the salon for upkeep.
 
 

 Trish asks:

I have about 50% grey, I used to use semi permanents and had a very bad reaction, itchy with spots on my scalp and ears last time. My natural colour is mid brown would you suggest low lights to give a bit of colour as the product wont touch my scalp or will these look odd on brown/grey hair? My hair is quite curly.

Firstly it is important to point out that you should have a colour skin test before having ANY form of colour whether it touches the scalp or not as you can still get an allergic reaction.

As far as lowlights are concerned to cover the grey this would be the ideal solution as it would be a nice subtle result.
 
 

 Madalina asks:

My face is very small and oval what kind of hairstyle would suit me? I could try something short with bangs?

 

Darren MessiasAnswered By:

Most styles suit an oval face shape, but I would be wary of keeping your hair to long as this may drown your small face shape.

Without seeing your face I would suggest a shorter style like a little short layered crop as this can still be soft and feminine and will complement your small oval face shape.
 
 

 Alexandra asks:

I have naturally curly hair which when straight is quite long. My problem is I need a style which I can both wear curly or straight as I don’t always have the time to straighten it or it’s not worth straightening if I’m going to be in a humid or wet environment. Am I better leaving it longer or having a shorter style

I would recommend going with a mid length cut with layers to take out the bulk of your hair, while keeping it light and bouncy when it is worn curly and sleek with a added volume when worn poker straight. The layers will allow your curls to move more freely and will add a great texture.

Curly hair is usually drier than straight hair and because the follicles do not lie flat without proper care it can appear dull and lifeless. It is also important to not weigh your curls down with heavy products - perfect curls need a little bounce. Why not try my Climate Control Protection Spray, which contains ’liquid umbrella technology’ to fight off the damage done to your hair by rain, cold dry air, heat and UV damage so that your locks stay perfect and flyaway free, come rain, come shine.
 
 

 Katherin asks:

I used to have straight thick hair but since I moved to a new house in front of the beach my hair has gone totally out of control, and now its horrible, I have curly (almost fried) hair and under that curly hair is the straight healthy hair I have tried a lot of products.

Try soaking your hair in a mixture of water and baby lotion this should add moisture to dry frizzy hair. Rinse well with warm water or even lightly shampoo this should keep things under control
 
 

 MOMoffive asks:

Since I stopped sewing in extensions to my hair I have massive hair loss and it was growing when I braided and sewed it before now it is less than a inch in the back and I can’t think to braid anymore loss is all over me when I brush it and I use conditioners, my head get dry again every day and very itchy after washed.

 

Matthew DavidAnswered By:

Maybe at some point whilst having weaves this has effected the hairs growth, I suggest you give it time without extensions or weaves and take high sea kelp products or vitamins to help strengthen the hair and promote hair growth.
