Episode 3: Ask “The Hair Doctor” 5-26-11

In this episode of Ask “The Hair Doctor“, Lisa answers the following questions:

0:33 What can I do the to the ends if they come together and wrap themselves together?

3:05 Could you please tell me more about mid strand knots- why we get them, how to prevent them, what to do if you see them.

5:00 How can I repair damage done to my hair?

7:22 There are so many products that are specifically for the and claim to reopen closed hair hair follicle. Is that possible?

10:02 Do you have a program where a person can send in hair samples that would allow you to analyze the health of the hair follicle?

10:53 I suffer from breakage, I’ve tried protein treatments, moisture treatments 11:45, I tried pH balanced products, I make sure to be extra gentle with my hair and use a wide tooth comb to detangle 12:10 . I trimmed about two inches 11:13 off my hair and no matter what my hair still breaks. Is there anything you can suggest I do?

13:30 How do women with thinning edges grow their hair in faster?

14:52 My crown area gets very itchy no matter what I do. I do moisture and protein/moisture conditioning treatments trying to balance it. My crown is also a lot shorter than the rest of my hair. My sides and back is past bra strap length but my crown is about 5 1/2 inches. What can I do about this and what causes this. Thanks

16:52 I am 1 year and a 1/2 natural and I have a lot of shrinkage in my hair! What can I do to cut down on the shrinkage without having to do a blow out.

18:15 I have fine hair and not much of it either (thin hair). I have never had any type of serious hair damage and can safely say that my hair has always been like this. Is there anything I can do to grow more hair and to increase the thickness of the hair strands? I can never achieve fullness in styling and end up with very few braids/twists and have very small ponytails when I do hold my hair in one. Thanks.
