Nioxin Let Down

A while back, before I met Georgi the Magician, my hair stylist suggested that maybe I should try the Nioxin line for my thinning hair. I was so excited after doing my research on the product that I ended up buying the econo jumbo size of the whole line. After some months of usage, I saw no improvement. I spent a few more weeks researching some alternatives to fuller hair that didn’t have to do with surgical proceedures, as women’s rogaine made me light headed, and the Nioxin scalp treatment thing turned my hairline beet red for about 30 minutes (but didn’t sting) and saw that alot of suggestions had to do with lightening the hair so that it blends more with the scalp.

I tried this, and indeed it seemed to camo’d my scalp much more…I spent around 300 bucks on the lightening procedure, color correction & sew in extensions and ended up looking fabulous! The next day I washed my hair with the Nioxin and even tho it was for chemically treated hair, the blueish pigment of the product turned my new highlights green.

Super Blue

Native to North America,  blueberries played an important role in North American Indian food culture. They work their protective magic by preventing free-radical damage, inhibiting enzymes from cleaving the collagen matrix, and directly cross-linking with collagen fibers to form a more stable collagen matrix. Bottom line? Eat blueberries on a regular basis. Not only will you have firmer skin for longer days, but you can also fuel your health by their ability neutralize free radical damage to the collagen matrix of cells and tissues that can lead to cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, heart disease and cancer. Throw a few on your cereal, in your smoothie or even better yet, by the handful – yummy and delish!
