Tattoos have become more and more popular over the last ten years, but are they safe? Or could they be involved in hair loss? Tattoos contain heavy metals like mercury, lead, antimony, beryllium, nickel and arsenic. These heavy metals give the tattoo permanence in the skin. However, heavy metals are toxic. In 2007, the American […]
Hair loss – smart meters and health
I have already written about a simple exercise which can help you counteract electro-magnetic field (EMF) disturbances from mobiles, Wifi and other EMF pollution (Blog posted in September 2014). Today, I would like expand on EMF problems and let you know about the health damage that can be created by Smart Meters. Touted as the […]
Hair loss – eating for hair growth
If you have problems with your hair, it is very important to eat the right foods to detox. Eating the right foods also means avoiding foods you don’t tolerate. Eating foods you are intolerant to will stop detoxification and will make a leaky gut worse. Not eating the right foods will also inhibit detoxification. Here […]
Hair loss – self-help to reduce electro-magnetic smog
We are surrounded by electro-magnetic smog these days. Phone masts, cordless phone waves (which go through walls and ceilings!), mobiles, WiFi and signals from all kinds of electronic devices are now everywhere. While I recommend to my hair loss clients to go back to corded phones and at least switch off their WiFi at home before they go to sleep, it is becoming increasingly difficult to completely avoid exposure to electro-magnetic smog.
The following exercise will not stop your hair loss, but it will allow the structures in your brain to work properly. This is especially important if you work a lot with computers or if you have problems sleeping or if you generally feel a bit fuzzy-headed.
As a health kinesiologist, I show my clients a very simple way of dispersing electro-magnetic smog with a hair dryer. This process is called ‘degaussing’. A hair dryer has a motor with alternating electric current, and it is this alternating current which is able to break up and disperse electro-magnetic smog.
Here is what you need to do:
- Plug in your hair dryer and set it to a cool setting.
- Turn the motor side of the hair dryer towards you and move the hair dryer over your head, arms and hands and legs and feet, keeping the dryer approximately 5 inches/12 cms away from your body.
Have a look at the video that my colleagues at Health Kinesiology UK have put together to see how it is done.
When you are doing the degaussing yourself, it will obviously be tricky to run the hair dryer across your own back, but I find it still works if you just concentrate on your head, your hands and your feet, especially the soles of your feet.
A word of advice: when you run the motor end over your head, make sure you stay away the suggested distance with the hair dryer so your hair doesn’t get sucked into the dryer.
Let me know how you are getting on with this.
Hair loss – EFT for psychological distress
For many sufferers, it is a traumatic experience when your hair is thinning or falling out. Your confidence hits rock bottom, you begin to dread evening invites because of overhead lights reflecting your scalp through your hair, and you begin to withdraw and become anxious. Suffering from hair loss can seriously increase your stress levels […]
Hair loss – looking after your synthetic wig
If you are wearing a wig through choice or because you feel you have to, the wig manufacturers will offer you wig care products. These are not always cheap and are usually full of chemicals. Many of my clients also tell me that they don’t find these products very effective, especially when it comes to […]
Hair loss – how long does it take to regrow my hair?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions from my clients, and a very understandable one. If your hair is not doing well, it is natural to feel anxious about this point. Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question that fits all. I have had clients where the hair stopped falling out within […]
Hair loss – keeping your hopes up
You know what the best thing is for me as a hair specialist? It’s when a client who has not had not a single hair on their head starts sending me a hair sample after a year instead of a nail sample. I tell you, it’s a brilliant feeling, both for me and for my […]

Hair loss and fasting
I have a number of clients who need to fast for one month a year for religious reasons. This is quite difficult for me when these clients come and want me to do a hair or nail sample test and give them a treatment plan to help their hair regrow. The problem here is that […]
