Hair Today Hair Tomorrow!

3/15/2018

Midlife pulls many tricks on us - hair growth where we least expect it, and hair loss where we need it most - from our head.  Sadly, it effects women as well as men. 

Hair, like everything else goes through changes over the course of a lifetime. Shine and volume synonymous with youth gives way to dull, weak and thinner strands.  There are however several things we can do to maintain our luscious locks for as long as possible without going the chemical route.

​What we consume is the all-important ingredient. Hair needs specific vitamins, minerals, and a major component keratin, the protein that hair is made up of, which our bodies slowly lose with age. So, not only should we eat the right foods but taking a supplement that has a digestible form of keratin such as KeraHealth can help to ensure we continue to have hair tomorrow!

A few of the many foods that provide hair the TLC it needs, and KeraHealth - a hair supplement that contains a digestible form of keratin!
My hair has always been a big deal for me, and I mean big literally! I was blessed with a good head of curly hair. I didn't always love it, as a child I couldn't have cared less except that old people would fawn over my hair when grandma introduced me to her friends! "Oh, doesn't she have lovely curls", "Why, Karen is so lucky to have that curly hair".

A big mop of curly hair! Me about two years old!
After I started school, I realized I was the odd one out with my curly fussy hair and I hated it. I couldn't stand how my fringe (bangs) use to curl up like a horses' drinking trough! None of the other girls had ridiculous hair with it's own mind and direction! Theirs was tame, one directional and slinky smooth!

​Then I went to work in London and realized that everyone my age was paying at least two hundred pounds (GBP) to have their hair permed to achieve what my hair looked like already. My time had come, and I learned to love and embrace my curls, and so they became my crowning glory. ​

Big hair, don't care! Me at twenty nine years old!
As the years rolled on, I experienced the normal transition that hair goes through genetically.  Color loss beginning around the edges (of course - it would be where it shows most) which began in my forties, changes in the texture made worse with curly hair because it turns seriously frizzy and the curls don't hold up the way they used to (those old ladies had no idea what they were talking about), and then worst of all, in my fifties the onset of thinning hair.

Large clumps of hair would become trapped in the comb upon combing through my hair conditioner. My ponytail, once thick and heavy, became a sorry-ass wisp of its former self. Then there was the receding, no doubt genetic, as it began right where Daddy's hair receded, on the temples.
​

Where to Turn to Next

I'd considered Rogaine for women but was nervous of all the chemicals, Lord knows I put enough of those on my scalp already to cover my grays! So when KeraHealth asked me to review their hair supplement I was excited. Of course, I did my due diligence as always before trying anything new. I'm paranoid about what I consume with the exception of wine and a good dinner out!

KeraHealth is a drug free dietary supplement that consists of naturally derived vitamins and minerals specific to good hair health, which in itself makes it also good for nails and skin. Some of the most important ingredients are Biotin, part of the B complex vitamins, zinc and some exclusive French ingredients, specifically a powerful antioxidant SOD B extracted from a unique variety of French melon and Oligopin - Pine Bark Extract sourced from the Les Landes forest in southwest France. Together with KeraHealth's patented KerCysteine, a digestible form of keratin, this supplement can help with hair growth, luster and the reduction of hair loss!

KeraHealth has got your back!
The life of a hair strand has three stages. 1 - the growth stage, 2 - the resting stage, and 3 - the final stage when the hair falls out.  A single hair has a normal lifespan of two to seven years. When it falls out a new one grows from the same follicle. Aging and the subsequent lack of keratin causes the follicle to weaken leading to hair becoming finer, weaker and a faster rate of hair loss, eventually stopping the production of a new hair altogether in some follicles.

It makes sense that a healthy diet rich in foods that benefit hair, boosted along with a natural supplement that provides additional keratin among other hair nourishing antioxidants and amino acids can help maintain healthy hair and follicles reducing fall-out and stimulating hair growth. In addition, the healthier and stronger the hair shaft is the less breakage will occur and the brighter it will be.

Here you can see tiny new hairs growing in around my temples where previously the hair had been more sparse.
​After taking KeraHealth for three weeks I suddenly became aware that there was very little hair tangled in my comb from combing through the conditioner after a hair wash. The vast amount of hair I previously was losing during each wash had become a growing concern in later years and clear evidence that my hair was thinning.  The few strands I now remove from my comb is likely a quarter of that prior to taking the KeraHealth supplement.

I've now been taking KeraHealth for six weeks, and my husband just asked me if I thought I was losing less hair as he noticed the drain in the shower wasn't getting clogged up which it previously did regularly (with my hair).  It's his job to unclog it, hence why he noticed ha ha! 

The average person's hair grows about one quarter of an inch per month. My hair grows super-fast, like a weed, I  know this because my gray roots have a quarter inch growth every three weeks which is how often I have to color them.  So already, I can see wispy new hair growth around my temples where I had previously been complaining to my husband that I'm going bald.

Stronger hair today means hair tomorrow!
For most women, hair is an important part of our image. It's one of the things that makes us feel good about ourselves. A visit to the hairdresser, a freshly washed bouncy head of hair, it's all part of the feel-good factor and makes us feel beautiful.

I want to help my hair as much as possible, especially given that I color it regularly. I've really noticed a difference since using KeraHealth with new hair coming in and considerably less hair loss. On that basis a thicker fuller head of hair is only to be expected. I'm aiming for a good hair day every day, you can too.

I would refer this one to my father. His hair lines very different from his hair before. I guess that his upper head would be no hair by now. He needs this one in order for him to grow hair and maintain those hair. Can this product can also be used for hair? How about eye brows and lashes? Does it make the lash and brows become thick and black? I would really appreciate the reply. Thank you.

Thank you for your comment. In answer to your question, I did not notice a change in my eyebrows or lashes, only in the hair on my head. I do believe there are other products on the market for brows and lashes, which I have not tried at this point.
