"Thick Headed"

Ever heard of or used the term "thick headed"?  We use a version of this in the salon all the time and not just in reference to stubbornness.  Believe it ladies, after reading this it will be okay to tell the Mr. that his "head" is in fact thick. 

Mens' scalp is 3x thicker than a woman's. This very thick scalp is a major contribution to balding, itching and even certain aromas.   Because of the thickness of a mans scalp, it tends to create much more sebum (oil) which then becomes build up. This build up begins to smother the hair follicle and eventually causes irreparable damage. Once the follicle is damaged, there is no bringing it back. Bye bye hair.  This is exactly why the professionals at Salon b recommend the Purifying Scalp Treatment or Scalp Detox for all men.  I don't know about you, but I sure do like the idea of my husband maintaining his hairline. 
This scalp treatment is the latest from Aveda and can be beneficial for men and women who are experiencing build up on the scalp, itching scalp and dandruff.  This treatment will remove build up while gently exfoliating and stimulating cellular renewal, not to mention it feels amazing.  So, the moral of the story is... If you can't help being thick headed, you can at least help by making your scalp more comfortable.  Get this treatment at Salon b after September 8th.

How to...Glow

Trending Now…Tourmaline
If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to improve your skin texture without feeling “blasted”, try tourmaline. This skin-care ingredient (actually a mineral based semi-precious stone that has been pulverized), when used in conjunction with steam and facial massage, increases nutrient absorption, resulting in more radiant and vibrant skin. In particular, it allows for “whatever goes on next”—generally a mask in a professional facial—to penetrate and produce significant results. If you want get rid of your dull winter skin, book a Botanical Skin Resurfacing facial with me and get your glow on!  Get our iPhone or Android mobile application for huge savings on this facial.
