Recap from Virtual Event Held in May:


Hair issues are extremely common - we talked about suggestions for a variety of situations.


Satin pillow case

  • Very comfortable for women experiencing hair loss, sensitive skin or just to preserve a blowout/styling for those finished with treatment.

False lashes

  • Ardell makes easy to use lashes that won’t break the bank. Link here.
  • Cut them down one section so they’re not too long, use lash glue along the lashes but wait 15 seconds for it to become more tacky before application on your eyelid.
  • They can be found at many stores from Ulta to TJ Maxx. Their website currently has 20% off your first order.
  • Lash products- Grande Lash, Lash Boost and others on the can encourage growth of sparse lashes. (Brow Boost is also great for eye brows.)



Headbands can be a great way to tame hair during early regrowth.

  • For anyone suffering scalp issues or who is experiencing serious issues with regrowth.


Thinning Hair/Dry Scalp 

  • Phyto products (plant based), Argon oil, Biotin,
  • Don’t fight the awkward, early regrowth…just work with it. Use mousses/gels, bobby pins, keep trying to work with it. It WILL grow.
