Hair Health

According to medihair.com 2024, around 85% of men and 33% of women will experience some form of hair loss in their lifetime. More than 65% of American men will have hair loss of various degrees by age thirty-five. By the age of fifty, around 85% of men will have signs of thinning hair. Of women who experience hair loss, about half of them experience it in the post-menopause. As you can see, hair loss is an extremely common problem that many struggle with

Even with healthy hair, some lose hair is normal. The average person loses 50 to 100 hairs a day.  However, if you are losing more than this amount, it may be sign that your hair is thinning, your hairline is receding, or you recently went through a period of high stress.

As we discussed previously, hair loss is a common issue for both men and women. For most people, hair loss happens as we age; however, anyone can experience hair loss at any point in their life. On the next part, we will discuss the various reasons why hair loss can occur.

Here are some common reasons for hair loss:

·  Hereditary – Our DNA plays a role in our hair growth cycle. Male pattern baldness and thinning hair can both be inherited from our ancestors.

·  Age – as previously mentioned, as our bodies age we can lose hair.

·  Medication – Some medications and procedures can cause hair loss.

·  Stress – Everyone’s body reacts differently to stress. If you recently went through a period of high stress, your body may have temporarily slowed your ability to grow hair and used those resources elsewhere.

·  Hair Care – Certain hair styles, hair products, or styling tools can damage the hair & hair follicles, and in extreme cases, prevent hair from growing back.

·  Hormonal Imbalance – Certain medical conditions and diseases can disrupt our hormones, which place a crucial role in healthy hair production.

·  Scalp Infection – A skin disease, breakout, or even parasites can damage the hair and hair follicles, and repairing the damage can be difficult.

·  Thyroid Disease – the Thyroid plays a key role in many body functions, and when it doesn’t work properly it can disrupt hair production.

·  Chemical Exposure – Chemicals in our environment can interrupt our body’s natural ability to produce hair.

Our hair naturally goes through several cycles as it grows. Different parts of your hair go through different stages at different times, which is why we shed hair year-round.

·  The Anagen Phase – This is the hair growth phase. This can last from 3-6 years. The longer your anagen phase, the longer your hair length can be. Factors such as your genetics, age, and nutrition can affect the length of this phase as well.

·  The Catagen Phase – This short phase lasts 1-2 weeks. During this phase, the hair’s blood supply is cut off. This means that the hair will not grow any longer.

·  The Telogen Phase – This phase lasts 2-3 months. During this phase, the hair doesn’t grow any longer because it has been completely cut off from the blood supply. Typically, the hair doesn’t shed very much during this stage.

·  The Exogen Phase – This is the phase when strands of hair fall out of the follicle. When the hair starts to grow again, the cycle starts at the Anagen Phase again.

Our SOQI Hair Spa routine uses our Chi-Machine, Ceramic Heater, E-Power, and our Good Sleep Essential Oil blend. We will discuss how this routine reduces hair loss and stimulates new hair growth.

Our skin is made up of multiple layers that each play a role in protecting the body. The hair on our scalp has its roots in our dermis layer, and the hair grows out of the epidermis layer. One of the main goals of this program is to extend your anagen time (growing period) and shorten the Telogen phase (pre-shedding period).

Our Ceramic Heater uses Far-infrared heat, or FIR, to activate bodily operations. This promotes hormone function and impurity removal. An example of this process in action is the purging of heavy metals from the skin.

FIR increases blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles. More nutrients to the hair follicles help them grow even faster.

Our Ceramic Heater is a fantastic tool to use when you want to promote hair growth & thickness. The 160-degree heating surface area is insulated to provide consistent & deep heat. The FIR heat is strong enough to affect all layers of the skin, without causing any discomfort to the recipient. This simple-to-use device has special built-in safety features, a digital control panel, and is designed to be portable.

Below we can see two different ways to arrange your Ceramic Heater. 1-3 Ceramic Heaters may be used at once. In first example, the model lies face down on the SOQI bed, with the back of the head covered in a towel. Notice that in this position, the model is not placing their feet on the Chi Machine. Attempting to use the Chi Machine in this position would be ineffective and uncomfortable.

In the second example, the first Ceramic Heater is detached from the support bar and placed perpendicular to the model. A small towel is placed over the face to protect the eyes. In this position, it is possible to use the Chi Model simultaneously with the Ceramic Heaters.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, our bodies are considered to have meridians, or pathways, that Chi—our body’s life force—moves through. Because of various health problems, stress, or lack of exercise, these meridians can become blocked. Our Chi Machine’s unique lateral movement helps unblock the Chi pathways in your body and improve your oxygenation and circulation. This increased blood flow can help your scalp get more nutrients, and as a result, improve hair growth and health.

For this routine, we recommend using the Magic Wand attachment for your E-Power machine. When you use the E-Power and Energy Wand to massage and comb the scalp, it increases blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles. Increased blood flow to the scalp helps hair grow faster.

The E-Power works by using negative potential ions to balance our body’s ions. You simply wrap the belt around your waist, turn the machine on, and sit comfortably within the e-field. Please make sure to follow all the safety directions included in the E-Power Manual.

Using the E-Power with the Energy Wand or as a standalone treatment will help improve the quality of the hair and scalp. The E-Power helps by increasing your ATP, which aids in cell reproduction. With quicker cell reproduction, your anagen will last longer and your telogen phase will be shortened.

Let’s walk through the steps on how to use the Magic Wand routine on yourself or your client. First, focus on the neck and shoulders. Start at the back of the neck where the ear ends, and slowly comb the wand down the shoulders. Follow the pattern depicted on the right. Repeat this motion 9 times. By using gentle pressure, this will help unblock the chi pathways on the shoulder and neck.

For the second part of this routine, focus on the scalp. Follow these instructions:

First, follow the midline from front hairline to posterior hairline. Follow the contour of the skull on the left side of front hairline to the base of the neck on the same side (this point is called “Feng Chi”). Follow the contour of the skull on the right side of the front hairline to the base of the neck on the same side. Repeat this process nine times. This process also helps open chi pathways.

The Oil Blend we recommend for hair loss is the No.7 Good Sleep Essential Oil Blend. This blend is inspired by the Crown Chakra. The Crown Chakra is connected to our mind and spirituality. Physically, this Chakra is aligned with the frontal lobe, pituitary gland, scalp, and hairline. This scent is deeply relaxing with hints of lavender and bergamot.

With the SOQI Hair Spa, you can use all these products together for increased hair growth. We recommend using the Ceramic Heater for 30-60 minutes twice a day, using one of the positions indicated earlier in this blog. Additionally, use the Chi Machine for 10-15 minutes twice a day. We also recommend using the E-Power for 30-60 minutes. Before using the Magic Wand, dilute the Good Sleep Essential Oil  a roller bottle with 10ml of carrier oil. Gently work the oil  the hair, then follow the Magic Wand massage routine introduced earlier in this video. Please note – DO NOT use the Ceramic Heater or Chi Machine while using the E-Power.

Our SOQI Hair Spa has many benefits: reduction of hair loss, scalp improvement, stimulation of new hair growth, promotes blood circulation, soothes neck and shoulders, and sleep improvement.

As we have discussed, the E-Power, Ceramic Heater, Chi Machine and our Chakra No.7 Essential Oil have positive effects on your hair health. These effects can be enhanced by using these products together. You can learn how to do a hair health routine by watching our video HERE.
