The Nutrient Powerhouse:

Brussel sprouts present an impressive nutritional profile that not only enhances overall health but also contributes significantly to hair vitality. These verdant jewels boast high levels of essential vitamins, including vitamin C and A. Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, plays a pivotal role in collagen synthesis, a fundamental protein for fortifying the resilience and flexibility of hair. 

Dietary Fibre and Folic Acid:

Beyond vitamins, Brussel sprouts emerge as an excellent source of dietary fibre and folic acid. Dietary fibre supports a well-functioning digestive system, ensuring efficient nutrient absorption crucial for hair growth. Folic acid, or vitamin B9, is essential for DNA synthesis and repair, fostering the development of new cells, including those pivotal to hair follicles.

Sulphur for Healthy Hair, Skin, and Nails:

A key mineral found in Brussel sprouts is sulphur, revered for its role in cultivating robust skin, hair, and nails. Sulphur constitutes a vital component of keratin, the protein underpinning hair structure. By incorporating Brussel sprouts into one’s diet, the body is supplied with the elemental building blocks required for robust and resilient hair.

Cysteine: The Amino Acid for Hair Growth:

Brussel sprouts also house cysteine, an amino acid with a positive impact on hair growth. Cysteine stands as a fundamental building block of keratin, the protein responsible for the composition of hair strands. 

Incorporating Brussel Sprouts Into Your Year-Round Diet:

While Brussel sprouts traditionally grace festive tables, there is every reason to celebrate these nutrient-packed vegetables throughout the entire year. Explore a variety of recipes to seamlessly integrate Brussel sprouts into your regular diet, from roasted delights to sautéed or steamed delicacies. The versatility of Brussel sprouts makes them an enticing year-round addition to your culinary repertoire.

Conclusion:

Whether you are a staunch enthusiast or a sceptic, Brussel sprouts emerge as a potent ally in the pursuit of healthy hair. With elevated levels of vitamin C and A, dietary fibre, folic acid, sulphur, and cysteine, these miniature wonders have the potential to significantly contribute to continuous hair growth and overall hair well-being. So, as you plan your culinary escapades, consider elevating Brussel sprouts beyond the holiday season – your hair might just express its gratitude.

The Stem cell treatment is ethically derived from red deer umbilical cord lining, from which mesenchymal stem cells, the richest source of stem cells in the body are found. The reason red deer are used is because there is no known transmissible disease that comes from this animal so it’s completely safe to use on humans. Stem cell treatment contains key proteins and growth factors to help stimulate, nourish and condition the appearance of weak and struggling hair follicles. When infused into the scalp with a trans-epidermal device, these powerful proteins promote hair follicle support and visibly condition and encourage hair growth.

With this advanced treatment used in conjunction with delivery techniques (our new electroporation machine), visible effects can be observed 35 days from the first session with optimal results 120 days from the first session which is a revolutionary timescale in terms of hair re-growth.

This fantastic new treatment is a new paradigm in hair revitalization and in conjunction with our new electroporation device which is designed to deliver the stem cells into the skin non-invasively and pain free. We are delighted to say Hair Clinical is the first to offer this treatment in this method in the UK.

Hair breakage is something all of us deal with, but are you causing your hair to break? Here are a few causes and tips to keep your hair healthy.

Diet

Yes, I know what you’re thinking… How can diet stop my hair from breaking? but you are what you eat, your hair health is directly impacted by your diet, Trichologists can actually tell how good your diet is by looking at your hair under a Trichoscope, so the healthier the hair the stronger it will be. Eat lots of protein rich foods and make sure you’re eating enough; we need at least 1300 calories per day to sustain hair growth!

Heat

Although heat is a must have in our beauty regimes, we must ensure we’re doing it safely. Most of us style our hair after washing it, but it is so important to make sure our hair is completely dry before applying straighteners or curling tongs. Water boils at 100 degrees and we are applying tools that can heat up to over 300 degrees. If there is any moisture left inside that strand of hair it will boil instantly, expand and break the hair. So, if you must use high heat, make sure you apply heat protection and dry your hair thoroughly on a cool heat beforehand.

Do you towel dry?  Do you brush your wet hair?

Your hair is at it’s most vulnerable while its wet (it can stretch more than 50% it’s length when wet in contrast to 20% while dry) so rubbing your hair with a towel just after your shower is a big “No No”, instead pop it up in a towel to slowly absorb the excess water, also try and leave brushing until your hair is dry, run your fingers through to gently detangle but leave the brushing until after.

Hair bobbles/ties.

Hair bobbles don’t just cause breakage, The tension they cause can make your hair fall out.

Traction alopecia is caused by tension so try and limit your ‘up do’s’ to a couple of times a week only.  Keep your hair loose as much as you can. Silk scrunchies are also fantastic if you do want to keep your hair up occasionally as they don’t pull at the hair.

Regular trimming

Trimming your hair regularly ensures that you stop those split ends from travelling up the shaft of the hair and causing breakage.

Breakage can be annoying but remember that in most cases it is treatable by just putting into place good hair care solutions.

If you seem to have tried everything and are still experiencing hair breakage after making changes to your diet and routine, there may be some other underlying problem, but not to worry, that’s why us Trichologists are here to help.

SMP is a form of less invasive scalp tattoo also called Tricho-pigmentation that can be used on both men and women to camouflage areas of the scalp that are thinning.

It is a non-surgical procedure where a carbon pigment is modified to suit the hair and skin colour of the patient and then applied in many dots in close proximity to replicate hair follicles. Doing so, gives the appearance of a closely shaven head or a denser head of hair in those who have longer hair. It is also used to camouflage scars very effectively.

As opposed to a normal tattoo the pigment is deposited at a shallower depth in the dermal layer. To do this, specialist needles (designed purposefully for SMP) and specialist methods are used by a trained licenced SMP Technician.

Can SMP help me?

SMP is used to camouflage all types of hair loss and burns or scarring in Men and Women of all ages, the illusion of a full head of hair is created for those who have a shaven head or for those with longer hair, although the technique is the same, the pigment is applied between existing hairs so as to create a shadow.

It can also be used in addition to transplant surgery to further allude density or blend in an FUT line (a line made from where donor hair is taken from) after healing.

SMP is an instant confident boost, and a great non-invasive alternative to a hair transplant, it is a permanent solution to hair loss which offers instant results.

Lisa our well-respected consultant Trichologist (I.A.T), and a fully Licenced SMP Technician, is passionate about her work and knows the importance of creating a natural look.

When people age so does their hairline, it is so important to have a believable effect and Lisa is an expert at this with a keen eye for natural detail.

The great thing about scalp micro pigmentation is that it gives results from your very first treatment.
