Military Hair

  Everything and everyone can be trained...including your hair. Most can train their hair to do whatever they want....it's all in the how.

As a hair treatment specialist, I have trained many heads of hair. And just as in the military's six weeks basic training....I have discovered that six weeks is the perfect amount of time for any change you decide to make with your hair. Whether it is a new look.....from coloring, cutting, straightening, curling....OR...it's dealing with a challenge....such as dandruff, hair loss, hair that will not curl, or hair that will not straighten, and shedding,....it has only taken me six weeks to correct and manage the challenge....hence the term...Military Hair

The greatest challenge is you and I being patient. Isn't it amazing how we spend weeks, months, and years with a situation and then we want it gone and improved over night?

The basic chemical structure of everyone's hair is SULFUR, CARBON, HYDROGEN, OXYGEN, AND NITROGEN

The average composition of normal hair is composed of  45.2 % carbon, 27.9% oxygen, 6.6% hydrogen, 15.1% nitrogen and 5.2% sulphur.

The basic structure of human hair are:

1)  the outer layer called the cuticle layer...( the outer fish-scale like layers)

This is where most of the non-chemical damage is done. Most of the time when the hair is dull, fly-away, and split...it is because the scale-like cuticle layers of the hair is brokenBefore you get your hair all cut off or shorten.....use special organic keratin/protein shampoos and conditioners to treat the cuticle layers....IT WILL RESTORE ITSELF.

Although hair is not alive once it leaves the root.....it needs "life" or foods/PROTEIN chemicals that are alive to feed and restore it. SPECIAL NOTE: CHEMICAL IS NOT A BAD WORD OR THING....AFTER ALL WATER IS WHAT........H2O...A CHEMICAL. EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS CREATED WITH ENERGY AND CHEMICALS....YOU AND I ARE MADE UP OF.......WHAT.......CHEMICALS....SO RELAX......IT'S ALL IN HOW WE USE THEM TOGETHER... TO GET THE GREATEST RESULTS WE WANT

2) the next/second layer is the cortex....Role of protein in the cortex:

( where all your products work, shampoos, conditioners, colors perms & etc)
The middle layer of the hair shaft is the cortex, the most important portion where protein plays an important role

BELOW IS A LITTLE INFORMATION....ON WHY A SIX WEEK MILITARY PROGRAM FOR YOUR HAIR CAN WORK:

The middle layer of the hair, the cortex, is made up of millions of polypeptide chains cross-linked with each other by three different types of side bonds. The bonds that link up the polypeptide chains of the hair are hydrogen, salt and disulfide bonds. Hydrogen bonds account for one-third of the hair's strength. The hydrogen bond is a weak physical side bond that is easily broken by water or heat. Hydrogen bonds can be reformed by drying or cooling the hair. These bonds are very abundant in the hair.

Salt bonds are also weak physical side bonds that can easily broken by weak alkaline or acid solutions and changes in pH. These bonds can be reformed by normalizing the pH level of the hair.

Disulfide bonds are chemical side bonds. These bonds are stronger and fewer than hydrogen and salt bonds and cannot be broken by heat or water. A disulfide bond is joined to the sulphur atoms of two cysteine atoms to create cystine. Although the disulfide bonds are fewer than the physical bonds, they are the key factors in supplying the hair its' strength and durability.

3) and the inner/third is the medulla...( like the bones of the hair shaft)

Examine a cross section of a hair shaft under a microscope, you would see the innermost or center portion of the hair shaft, the medulla. The medulla is also called the pith or marrow of the hair. It is composed of round cells, two to five rows across. Thick or coarse hair usually contains a medulla. Fine hair for the most part lacks a medulla, as does naturally blonde hair. The purpose of the medulla has not yet been determined.

Finally, Doing the same thing to your hair every day, week, and month....will remove and handle most problems and at the same time create Military Hair that will serve you well.

I had a hair customer years ago who had been rolling her hair up every night since she was in high school. Now she was married with children and she was still doing the same thing...every night. needless to say her husband pleaded with her to find another way to bed her hair. I mean who wants to jump out of bed after great passion and roll their hair, anyway. So, I put her on my Military Hair Program...and in six weeks she had trained her hair to remain curled without setting it every night. Her hair appointments were about every 3 weeks and she would arrive with a head full of curls without all that setting. The difference was what she was using and how.

**I put her on sponge rollers...first cut and wrapping plastic wrap around each roller...then she had to carefully wrap every inch of the hair shaft, making sure the ends were inside, laying next to the plastic wrapped sponge. Last, she had to use small to medium sections of hair to roll...NO, large sections, please. MOST IMPORTANTLY: She had to commit to this process EVERY night...no excuses and no exception. IT WORKED! She was and is a very happy person...and so is her hubby.**

This is one example of how a six-week Military Hair Program works. So whether you want to fix a problem....manage a challenge...or just make improvements....Military Hair is for you.
