Did you know that hereditary hair loss is not just a problem for men, but for many women as well? It’s a problem that often causes silent suffering, but with the right care, it can be stopped completely—if you catch it early. This is where your hairstylist can play a crucial role.
This week HAARR opens its doors in Etten-Leur, an innovative hair center where you can go for advanced hair check-ups. This opening is accompanied by the launch of the book "Dermatology for Hair Professionals," written by three leading dermatologists. This book is especially intended for hair stylists to help them recognize skin and hair abnormalities at an early stage and refer their clients to the right care.
Hereditary baldness: an underestimated problem
Although we often think of baldness as a male problem, research shows that 15% of young women and as many as 40% of postmenopausal women will experience hereditary baldness. This is not only embarrassing, but can also have serious psychological effects, such as depression. Professor Martino Neumann, emeritus professor of dermatology, emphasized at the recent HAARR symposium that hereditary baldness is an underestimated problem, but fortunately there are good solutions available—if you catch them in time.
The role of your hairstylist
Your hairdresser or hairstylist is often the first to notice changes in your hair or scalp. With the right knowledge, they can play a vital role in the early detection of hair problems, such as hereditary baldness. The new book "Dermatology for Hair Professionals" has been specially developed to provide hairstylists with the knowledge needed to recognize suspicious symptoms and refer their clients for further treatment in a timely manner.
Why is this important? Because hereditary hair loss, while completely stoppable, cannot be reversed. This makes early detection essential to prevent further hair loss. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further baldness and help you keep your hair.
HAARR: innovation in hair care
HAARR offers a new concept in hair care by providing ‘walk-in services’ for quick and reliable hair and scalp check-ups. If your hairstylist notices an abnormality, they may advise you to visit HAARR for a closer look. This quick and accessible care is a game changer in preventing further hair loss.
The Book: An indispensable resource for hair professionals
"Dermatology for Hair Professionals" is a comprehensive handbook that helps hair stylists recognize various skin and hair problems. The book is richly illustrated with more than 350 photos and offers scientifically proven solutions and advice. This allows hair stylists to work effectively with general practitioners and dermatologists to provide their clients with the best possible care. Not only can hair problems be identified, but also various scalp problems and melanoma.
What does this mean to you?
It’s important for you to know that your hairstylist can provide more than just a pretty look. They can play a key role in the health of your hair and scalp. After all, your hairstylist sees your hair and scalp more often than your doctor! The only question is whether your hairstylist has this necessary knowledge yet. If you notice that this is not the case, you can ask your hairstylist to contact HAARR. If you do notice that your stylist is paying extra attention to your hair or scalp during your next appointment, don’t be surprised—they may be performing a check-up that could save you a lot of grief.
If you have any doubts about your hair loss or other hair and skin problems, do not hesitate to ask your hairstylist for advice. A visit to HAARR can make the difference between early treatment and unnecessary hair loss.
Meet the new standard in hair care. Ask your hairstylist for the book "Dermatology for Hair Professionals" and discover how preventive care can help you maintain your hair and boost your self-confidence.
Insider tip: don't sit still, take action yourself, ask your hairstylist for advice and make sure your hair stays as healthy as you are!
