IS IT DANDRUFF?

    We get this question every year particularly during the winter.People notice the little white flakes on their shoulders and come rushing into the salon in a panic wanting to know what dandruff shampoo we recommend to rid themselves of this proplem. Relax everyone. It's probably not dandruff. It is most likely dry scalp.
   Winter in the Midwest takes its toll on our skin as well as our hair. The cold,harsh winter air sucks the moisture right out of everything. Add to this the fact that we spend more of our time indoors with the furnace running or in our cars with the heat on, it's no wonder that we feel like we are being mumified by the end of the season.
   Most "dandruff" shampoos on the market adress the problem by exfoliating the dead skin cells on the scalp. The problem is that the products usually register high on the alkalinity scale, making the problem worse by further drying out the scalp and continuing the problem with no resolve.
   To remedy this embarrasing situation we recommend a good, nourishing, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as Kenra's Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. When you use these products at home make sure you follow your Stylists recommendations or the directions on the back of the product regarding how long the conditioner should be left on. Make sure that you work the product thoroughly onto the scalp and thru your hair for maximum benefits.This goes for our male guests, also. A lot of guys don't want to take the time to condition.
   If this doesn't help the problem, a trip to the salon might be in order. At Vincent's Hair Design we have products designed to give you maximum conditioning in a minimal amount of time and our staff is trained to select wich products are right for your hair. They can also recommend wich home care products are best for you.
