Hair loss and thinning hair affect most of us at some time in our lives. Women generally have diffuse thinning (less hair all over), in contrast to men who more frequently have a "patterned" type - hair loss that spares the back and sides.

Salon Director, Chris Amos explains, "Stress, poor diet, seasonal changes, hormonal imbalances and hereditary hair loss are just some of the causes of this worrying problem. It is normal to lose around a hundred hairs from your scalp every day but if you have specific hair loss fears it is important you discuss your concerns with your Stylist and receive expert advice."

He continues: "I believe Kérastase's Specifique range is the ultimate anti-hair loss programme. Using revolutionary technology and advanced nutritional compounds this innovative therapy incorporates two treatments which you use alternatively throughout the year:

Initial Treatment

Aminexil GL Daily Treatment kick starts the programme with an intensive anti-hair loss treatment used every day for six weeks, twice a year.

Follow up treatment

After this intensive 6 week period, you use Kérastase's latest innovation Stimuliste - a revolutionary daily anti-hair loss treatment to prevent thinning hair and hair loss all year round.  This is used in between the Aminexil GL treatments for an 18 week period to create the ultimate solution.

To support these two treatments I suggest  Specifique Prevention GL daily use hair bath and Densitive GL daily use texturising spray with a densifying effect are used throughout the programme.

This daily anti-hair loss therapy results in:

• Natural hair growth being stimulated
• Thinning hair maintaining density
• Hair fibre being reinforced"

If you are concerned about any aspects of hair loss or would like any further information on Specifique please ask for a confidential consultation with your Stylist.
