Hair care seems like it should be simple. B ut as you age, so does your hair.  Over time, your hair becomes less dense. Individual strands get thinner and break more easily. Sunlight, climate, and pollution also exact a toll on your hair.  And the way you style your hair – blow drying, colouring, overusing gels – can all damage your hair.

It is well documented that Inuits (Eskimos) and Native American Indians suffer from very little hair loss.  Generally speaking Asian and African men also suffer a lot less from hair loss than Caucasian people. An an interesting aside, a disproportionate number of sales of ProFusion are made to people of Asian origin.  This may not mean that Asian people have more or less hair loss, but probably indicates a greater desire to be proactive. What is also interesting is that Japanese men suffer from a low level of hair loss, however this has been increasing in recent years. Theories abound as to why this should be, but the obvious theory,… read more
