HELP, I'M LOSING MY HAIR! HOW DO I STOP GOING BALD?

There can't be a worse feeling than seeing loads of your hair clogging up the bath plug hole. Hair loss affects over 60 percent of men by the age of 40, and it's not about to go away any time soon... 

Now, we know there isn't a cure for baldness, and it's unlikely we'll get a cure any time soon, but, despite what doctors and industry 'experts' tell you, there are indeed many viable ways you can prevent hair loss and stop it completely.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, here's the catch: Although there are ways you can reduce shedding and even stop the balding process, unfortunately, there isn't a treatment that can help regrow the hair you have already lost. So, if you're looking to tackle hair loss head on, you'll need to start early!

So, what are the best ways to stop hair loss?

Let's assume you want to tackle hair loss in the safest possible way, without the risk of negative side-effects, and not compromising your health. We won't count prescription drugs like Finasteride and Minoxidil, because they can be nasty little buggers, and let's face it, do they really work? I mean, really?

So, what are your remaining options? Well, let's also assume you haven't got a few grand to spend on a flashy hair transplant (which still doesn't guarantee a fix to the problem). That leaves us with a handful of viable options that are both safe and affordable. And here's what they are...

Wash your hair with the right shampoo

Regular hair washing is a part of preventing hair loss by the way of keeping hair and scalp clean. Doing so, you are lowering the risk of infections and dandruff that may lead to hair breakage or loss. However, be sure to use shampoos that are free from chemicals and artificial additives. Also, look out for hair growth promoting ingredients such as Biotin, Folic Acid, and Green Tea Extract.

Enrich your diet with protein

Eating lean meats, fish, soy or other proteins promotes hair health and in turn helps curb hair loss.Ok, so a high-protein diet won't cure baldness, but it can definitely go a long way to strengthening your hair, an make it less prone to damage and breakage.

Massage your scalp regularly

Those who have been experiencing hair fall for quite some time must massage the scalp with essential oil for couple of minutes. It helps your hair follicles remain active. Again, you might laugh at this theory, but it really can work. Consider Biotin liquid, Argan Oil, or a good multi-ingredient hair growth serum for best results.

Onion juice

Prepare a bowl of onion juice, then rub it on your scalp, leave it overnight and wash it out in the morning. Do it this about 2-3 times a week and you will see noticeable result. This technique has worked on thousands of men and women, and it;s definitely worth a try if you haven't done so already.

Vitamins for hair loss

Vitamins are not only healthy for overall well being but also good for your hair. Key vitamins help encourage healthy production of sebum in the scalp, while bettering blood circulation in the scalp to help hair follicles remain productive and thus maintain healthy colour and growth.

For even better results, opt for a good multi-vitamin hair supplement that helps tackle baldness at the root of the cause. Supplements like HR23+ can help reduce the pattern of hair fall and help support healthy hair growth.

NEW AFRICAN ROOIBOS EXTRACTS SKINCARE NOW IN UK

Forget A-Beauty or even K-Beauty, SA-Beauty is the latest beauty import to reach the UK. 

African Extracts Rooibos is a highly successful natural skincare brand created by beauty expert and award wining beauty editor, Sarah Hetherington, in her home of Cape Town in 2002. The two collections introduced into the UK, CLASSIC and ADVANCED, both contain the brands key ingredient, antioxidant rich Rooibos extract, grown naturally in only one place on earth, (just like Champagne!) the rugged Cederberg Mountains of South Africa.

African Extracts Rooibos is an affordable natural skincare range that blends the science of contemporary skincare with the proven efficacy of natural plant extracts. Each product features the key ingredient, organic bioactive Rooibos extract, a powerful anti-oxidant to combat the effects of pollution and the environment. African Extracts is proud of the provenance of its Rooibos extract.

It comes directly from the Fynbos plants growing wild on the mountain slopes and plains of the Cederberg mountains. Watered only by the rain that falls out of the clean mountain air, fertilised only by the minerals of the ancient soils and harvested by hand with scythes, the green leafy plants are loaded onto wagons and taken to a state-of-the-art plant where pure steam and water are used to extract the antioxidant goodness. The extract is certified organic, and Fairtrade guarantees ethical labour practices. The authentic natural rosy colour of Rooibos is even visible in the Face Wash and Scrub.

As a natural brand that believes in the power of nature to bring skincare results, Bio-Active Rooibos has been combined with up to 35 other hand-selected natural active ingredients, each with their own skincare benefits. The dermatologically tested products are paraben and microbead free, with no animal testing on the ingredients (endorsed by Beauty without Cruelty) and almost all of the collection is vegan.

The two collections now available in the UK include:

Africa Extracts Rooibos CLASSIC: for normal and combination skin, CLASSIC forms the foundation of the brand with an effective range of everyday cleanse, tone, wash and moisturising products.

African Extracts Rooibos ADVANTAGE: for dry and mature skin, this collection has been specially formulated to keep skin young, firm, radiant and smooth.

INTRODUCING SO BODY CO PEPTIGEN+ WITH 5 COLLAGEN TYPES

Experience 30 Days Of Age Defying Multi-Collagen with Peptigen+ for men and women

Article by So Body Co

The world’s craving for collagen supplements is still riding high, but British brand, SO BODY CO. goes a beauty step further with the launch of PEPTIGEN+ ….. by including FIVE types of collagen in their 100% natural supplement. In fact it's the only British company to bring you the full spectrum benefits of collagen types I, II, III, V & X . These five collagen types combine to powerfully support and help improve the health, youth and visible appearance of our skin, hair and nails.

PEPTIGEN+ is a premium, pure collagen, flavourless super-food supplement that provides a huge 10,000mg of collagen in the form of low molecular hydrolysed peptides. This means the collagen has been broken down to make it better available and easily absorbable so that it brings the most efficacious effects.

Created in powder form, it’s a doddle to slip into your daily diet. Its flavourless taste means you can add So Body Co. PEPTIGEN+ to your coffee, smoothie, water or even bake into your favourite dish for your dose of high protein goodness. Just 2 heaped teaspoons (10g daily) may show visible beauty results in weeks, plus aid gut health and joint strength. And, because they think of everything, each sale of PEPTIGEN+ comes with a SO BODY CO. Recipe Book filled to the brim with 20 delicious and nutritious smoothie blends from Pineapple Paradise and Winter Warmer to Peanut Butter Jelly. Yum!

PEPTIGEN+: The Five Types Of Collagen in the So Body Co. Mix  

Type I: The most common type in the body. One study found that a group of women taking a type 1 collagen for 60 days led to a noticeable reduction in skin dryness and wrinkles, plus a significant increase in collagen density and skin firmness was observed after 12 weeks
Type II: Predominantly used for cartilage, between bones to form joints. In 2008, Penn State University studied the effects of collagen supplements on athletes. A 24 week trial reported statistically significant changes to show improvement of joint pain
Type III: Usually found alongside type 1 and present in your muscles and organs type III provides better skin elasticity
Type V: This type helps the formation of cells, especially in your hair, gut and skin
Type X: Supports bone formation and healing as well as improving joint health

What is Collagen? 

Collagen is a protein that is a critical component of our skin, bones and joints. The most abundant protein in our bodies, it gives skin strength and its youthful firmness. Supporting the structure of the skin, collagen is the primary component of the body's connective tissue - about 80% of the dermis -- the part of your skin that's under the epidermis (upper layer). When levels deplete skin appears aged due to skin laxity – sagging, lined skin without the perky, smooth tautness most of us are longing to last forever!

The good news is that our bodies naturally produce this protein, but the sad and sobering news is that as we age, levels lessen and environmental factors, especially sun exposure, damage and break down healthy collagen. However, the menopause brings the most rapid onset of depletion of collagen due to hormone changes. With all these factors waging war on our skins natural youth elixir, the trend for harnessing ways to replenish levels is understandable. Collagen creams contain ingredients too large to penetrate the skin to reach the deeper dermis, but high quality digestible supplements are proven to be effective.

Proven in Clinical Studies 

Collagen works from within to promote optimal skin function by delivering essential micronutrients to the collagen matrix below the dermis. Clinical studies have shown collagen supplementation can increase skin’s hydration by up to 91%. Marine collagen benefits the skin by restoring skin’s youthful appearance, improving skin tone and texture, plumping the skin and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.

There are countless independent clinical studies that report and back up the benefits derived from collagen supplements. Some studies on collagen supplementation have shown significant improvements to the quality of hair and nails. Hair benefits include increasing hair regeneration, strength, shine and health. Likewise, studies also note the improved quality of weak, brittle or damaged nails in addition to strengthening the nail structure and encouraging growth.

100% Natural 

The pure powder formulation of Peptigen+ includes just four ingredients: Hydrolised (Marine) Fish Collagen Peptides; Hydrolised Bovine Collagen Peptides; Hydrolised Avian Collagen Peptides and Hydrolised Eggshell Collagen Peptides.

MO and dairy free. Independently lab tested to guarantee against impurities and heavy metals.

Slays Skin Ageing 

Scientists report collagen supplements can increase skin hydration, reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
One trial investigated the effects of an ingredient used in So Body Co’s collagen. Dr Jerome Asserin, PhD reported that clinical trials with the Peptan collagen ingredient resulted in "significantly increased skin hydration" and "improved hallmarks of skin aging.” Another study found that subjects taking a collagen peptide supplement saw a 20% reduction in wrinkles after 8 weeks.

Nails It 

When it comes to faster growing, stronger fingernails, the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reported that a trial of oral collagen peptides resulted in a 12% increase in nail growth rate and a decrease of 42% in the frequency of broken nails.

Collagen. Your Crowning Glory 

Collagen is well known to bring benefits for your hair too. Although human clinical trials on the effects of collagen and hair are lacking, it is known that collagen is rich in the amino acid, proline. Proline is a key component of keratin, so consuming proline rich collagen is likely to give the body the building blocks it needs for hair growth.

Gives Pain the Push-Off 

A number of clinical studies have shown that collagen supplements may support pain relief for arthritis sufferers and help improve joint health. Research is ongoing and will likely continue for many years. In the meantime, early results are providing evidence of individuals reporting benefits from collagen supplementation. One clinical study researched the effects of collagen in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee and concluded; “UC-II (Collagen) treated subjects showed significant enhancement in daily activities suggesting an improvement in their quality of life”

The Power of 5 

While most collagen products on the market today only deliver one or two ‘types’ of collagen, So Body Co’s PEPTIGEN+ multi-collagen supplement contains no less than FIVE different types of collagen. In fact it's the only British company to bring you the full spectrum benefits of collagen I-V to provide the greatest range of natural proteins. What’s more, as a pure collagen with no additives or artificial flavourings you get 10,000 mg of collagen per recommended daily serving. For those still taking the older single type collagen in tablet form, that's the equivalent of about 10 tablets!

There's an ever growing body of clinical research, scientific studies and anecdotal evidence illustrating the aesthetic benefits provided by collagen supplements. ‘Yes, Yes!’ we hear you cry, ‘but how long?!’

Here at So Body Co. we understand we’re a demanding lot and that the scientific benefits are all well and good, but know you want to know, ‘how long’, ‘when’ and what we might see from the results of sipping our So Body Co. Peptigen+ drinks. Below is some of the published research and reported timelines for results from taking a collagen supplement……

SKIN: 4-12 WEEKS 

Facial skin is the first area you're likely to notice an improvement in. The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology published evidence from different placebo-controlled clinical trials. One test investigated skin hydration (aging of the skin is associated with a decrease in water content). It found that collagen significantly increased skin moisture level by 16% after 4 weeks of treatment. This increased to as much as 28% after 8 weeks. The journal also reported on a clinical study investigating collagen supplements with collagen fragmentation (wrinkles). This showed only minimal results in the first 4 weeks BUT major results (up to 31.2%) seen by week 12.

A double-blind placebo study found that women taking a collagen peptide saw a 20% reduction in wrinkles after 8 weeks.

HAIR: 8 WEEKS 

Nutritional Reports International Scala J et al conducted a clinical trial whereby subjects took collagen for 62 days. The thickness and strength of their hair was measured at baseline, upon trial completion and after cessation of collagen treatment.

Thickness and strength of the hair increased significantly. The increase in thickness was greater for women than for men, possibly because the women’s hair was thinner at the onset of the study. After treatment stopped, hair thickness returned to its original level.

NAILS: 8-24 WEEKS 

Recent findings published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reported that a 24 week trial of oral collagen peptides resulted in a 12% nail growth rate and a decrease of 42% in the frequency of broken nails. The majority of participants (80%) agreed that the use of the collagen peptides improved their nails' appearance.
