The hidden struggles of hereditary hair loss and thinning hair, and the solutions through your hairstylist

Did you know that hereditary hair loss is not just a problem for men, but also affects many women? It’s an issue that often causes silent suffering, but with the right care, it can be completely halted—if you catch it in time. This is where your hairstylist plays a crucial role.

This week, HAARR opens its doors in Etten-Leur, an innovative hair center where you can receive advanced hair check-ups. The opening is accompanied by the launch of the book "Dermatology for Hair Professionals," written by three leading dermatologists. This book is specifically designed to help hairstylists identify early signs of skin and hair abnormalities and guide their clients to the appropriate care.

Hereditary Hair Loss: An Underestimated Problem

Although we often think of hair loss as primarily a men’s issue, research shows that 15% of young women and as many as 40% of women after menopause experience hereditary hair loss. This not only leads to embarrassment but can also have severe psychological effects, such as depression. Professor Martino Neumann, emeritus professor of dermatology, emphasized at the recent HAARR symposium that hereditary hair loss is an underestimated problem, but fortunately, effective solutions are available—if addressed early.

The Role of Your Hairstylist

Your hairdresser or hairstylist is often the first to notice changes in your hair or scalp. With the right knowledge, they can play a vital role in the early detection of hair problems, such as hereditary hair loss. The new book "Dermatology for Hair Professionals" is specifically developed to equip hairstylists with the knowledge needed to recognize suspicious symptoms and refer their clients for further treatment in a timely manner.

Why is this important? Because while hereditary hair loss can be completely stopped, it cannot be reversed. This makes early detection essential to prevent further hair loss. With early diagnosis and treatment, further baldness can be prevented, and your hair can be preserved.

HAARR: Innovation in Hair Care

HAARR offers a new concept in hair care by providing walk-in services for quick and reliable hair and scalp check-ups. If your hairstylist notices an abnormality, they can advise you to visit HAARR for further evaluation. This quick and accessible care is a game-changer in preventing further hair loss.

The Book: An Essential Resource for Hair Professionals

"Dermatology for Hair Professionals" is a comprehensive handbook that helps hairstylists recognize various skin and hair issues. The book is richly illustrated with over 350 photos and provides scientifically-backed solutions and advice. This enables hairstylists to work effectively with general practitioners and dermatologists to offer their clients the best possible care. Not only can hair issues be identified, but also various scalp problems and melanoma.

What Does This Mean for You?

For you, it’s important to know that your hairstylist can offer more than just a great look. They can play a key role in the health of your hair and scalp. After all, your hairstylist sees your hair and scalp more often than your doctor! The question is whether your hairstylist is already equipped with this essential knowledge. If you notice that they might not be, you can suggest that they get in touch with HAARR. On your next visit, if you notice your stylist paying extra attention to your hair or scalp, don’t be surprised—they might be conducting a check-up that could save you from a lot of trouble.

If you have concerns about hair loss or other hair and skin issues, don’t hesitate to seek advice from your hairstylist. A visit to HAARR could make the difference between early treatment and unnecessary hair loss.

Get acquainted with the new standard in hair care. Ask your hairstylist about the book "Dermatology for Hair Professionals" and discover how preventive care can help you keep your hair and boost your confidence.
