Your clients are back in your chairs, and much like you, they’ve been through three traumatic months! The prolonged uncertainty, financial strain, and home stress have wreaked havoc on their psychological well-being. They require intense TLC and more so, for many of them, a solution to the hair loss they’ve experienced during lockdown (or are about to). Hair loss because of prolonged periods of stress is not uncommon. You can expect many of your clients to ask about the extra strands in their shower. You may already notice it at their first post-lockdown appointment. Hair Loss Due to Stress Did you know that there are six main reasons why people are affected by hair thinning? And that stress and trauma are the second biggest contributing factors after genetics. The body’s ‘fight or flight’ response is to blame for this. And we can all attest to being well acquainted with the rush of adrenaline and cortisol during the past three months. When your brain experiences any danger (physical or psychological; real or perceived), it releases the hormones, adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones help us act swiftly in dangerous situations and sharpen our senses. However, when the body is in a constant state of ‘fight or flight’ it has a few side effects—some of which being adrenaline fatigue and hair loss. Hair loss is primarily due to hormonal shifts in the body that keep the hair in it’s resting state (telogen effluvium). Meaning, that hair is shed but not replaced – no new hair grows. “Telogen effluvium causes hair shedding across the entire scalp, but it may be particularly noticeable in certain places – if your hairline is thinning, for instance. Stress can also be a trigger for the hair-shedding autoimmune disease Alopecia areata. If a client is experiencing alopecia areata advise, him/her to seek advice from a dermatologist. – nioxin.com" How to combat hair loss The good news is that hair loss due to stress is not permanent and that hair will grow back to normal when the source of anxiety is gone. The best way to start alleviating stress is through the promotion of a healthy lifestyle: 1.​ Eat well and drink plenty of water to ensure the body has all the right nutrients it needs for optimum activity. 2. Regular exercise is a great way to reduce stress and tension because it releases endorphins that act as natural painkillers. 3. Sleep is essential for physical health since this is when cell renewal and repair occur. 4. Take Vitamin B supplements such as B12 and Biotin to assist with energy levels, mood, and to promote hair growth. 5. Use the correct hair products. Hair care has an impact on your client’s scalp and strand health. A product like NIOXIN will help by cleansing and stimulating the scalp and by so doing, improving the environment in which new hair grows. When your clients visit your salon in a panic about hair loss, offer them the tips above to combat hair loss. Also suggest a NIOXIN as their daily hair care routine. To become a stockist contact us. Your clients can also purchase online. NIOXIN Thinning hair is a common problem affecting 50% of men and women globally.

Veaudry recently sponsored the Social Media Positivity Challenge, won by Carbon Hyde Park, with the stunning prize of a Veaudry Demi Limited Edition styler. Hairnews chatted to Michelle Stanton of Veaudry on why this competition was such a good fit with the Veaudry brand, and what advice they can offer salons who are getting back to business. Q: Why did Veaudry sponsor this competition? A: Veaudry International got behind the initiative to keep the focus on being positive during difficult times. This social media campaign was an opportunity for us to thrive and remain positive, as it allowed us to be constructive during one of the darkest times in our industry. We can all agree that it has been a challenging and somewhat fearful time, but saying that, with every obstacle there is always an opportunity. Focusing on the negative only holds us back and prevents us looking at a positive and brighter future. It’s through these obstacles that opportunities arise. Q: As hairstylists head back to work, what are your tips for connecting with clients on social media? A: We are all looking forward to opening up our trade during the next phase of the advanced lockdown level 3, and while it is exciting to get our doors open and follow all the necessary rules and regulations, we feel it is important to be aware of your clients (as well as yourselves) mental and emotional position towards the world wide pandemic as a whole, We have no doubt that this topic in general is going to dominate our conversations for the months to come, whilst we catch up on the last 3 months of not seeing our beloved clients, however, saying this, we need to be aware that some clients may fall into the ‘fear’ category of this pandemic and be somewhat nervous to visit the salon. We need to ensure that whilst we will be flat out in our salons keeping up with a waiting list of much needed appointments we should not neglect our social media platform to stay in contact with all our clients, especially those that may be fearful to venture into the salon again. We need to constantly reassure our clients of the safety precautions our businesses are taking to keep our clients safety and comfort our 1st priority. In a nutshell regardless where you as a stylist may be emotionally on this journey we need to be gracious and understanding of the emotions of all our clients during this time, thus we need to keep our social media activity as strong as it was during the lockdown to ensure that we reach all our clients ALL the time. Whilst the obstacle of lockdown forced us to be more active on social media it has also created an opportunity within our businesses to drive our products and services through digital platforms that we should not neglect going forward.
