I thought this was worth sharing. Heads up, did you know that if Kaiser Permanente is your health-care provider, you can get discounts on gym membership at participating gyms? 24 hour fitness and Golds Gym are on the list. My doctor told me about it. 24hr membership is normally 45 a month, I just signed up through Kaiser for 28 a month, no yearly fee, there is a $28 sign up fee, but there was a special yesterday and the fee was waived. There is also no yearly contract, it's month to month, I can cancel or switch gyms.

I've been rocking 90s teenage girl hair this week and I'm wearing the teeny butterfly clips, and they are legitimately ones I bought in the 90s.

Talking about scalps today, Biolage has come out with a series of products designed for scalp issues: oily scalp, dry scalp, sensitive scalp, and dandruff.

Random facts from your geeky hairdresser obsessed with the science end their profession.

Btw, if you've been seeing scalp treatments being mentioned all over the internet and you're wondering whether it's something with legitimate benefits or just trendy hype, scalp treatments do have benefits. We used to do them all the time years ago. I stopped offering them at one point due to products from companies I trusted being discontinued. Now that it's become popular, quality products are available again and I am bringing the service back.

Now for some knowledge

1. The cellular renewal of the skin on your scalp is twice as fast as the skin anywhere else on your body.

2. The sebum (oil) production on the scalp is 40x that of your forearms

3.Various internal and external factors can result in higher sebum production. Examples include hormones, stress, pollution, and diet.

4. Contrary to popular belief, studies show that shampooing more often does NOT cause an increase in sebum production. But shampooing with a harsh shampoo can strip your natural oils causing your scalp to compensate by producing more oil.

5. The beauty industry sells products through hype and buzzwords. The whole hype about avoiding shampoos with sulfates is just hype. Sulfates help your product lather better which helps it spread better and also rinse out better. It's the quality of the sulfates that matter. Some are drying, some aren't. Some of the shampoos I use on myself (and I have bleached hair) contain sulfates. A shampoo can be sulfate free and still be drying.

6. Excess sebum buildup on the scalp can clog the pores and result in temporary hair loss.

Not gonna lie, when the last client of the day cancels, I'm not thrilled but I can at least console myself with getting to go home early. When it's the first appointment of the day that cancels, I just think about how I could have slept in 😍.

All seriousness though, we do understand when you have to cancel.

We would prefer no one cancels, but if someone is going to - let it be the last appointment.
