"I've been worried about my gray hair lately..." Do you have such concerns?


It is often thought that gray hair means aging, but this is not necessarily the case.


In fact, many people in their 20s and 30s are starting to worry about gray hair. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine and beauty, factors other than aging, such as lifestyle habits, stress, and poor blood circulation , are also closely related to the cause of gray hair.


The main causes of gray hair

To prevent grey hair, it is important to first understand the cause.

  • Poor blood flow : Poor blood flow to the scalp makes it difficult for sufficient nutrients to reach the hair roots.

  • Stress : Disturbances in the autonomic nervous system reduce the function of the cells that make hair black (melanocytes).

  • Nutritional deficiencies : Lack of protein, vitamins, and minerals affects the production of pigment in hair.

  • Lack of sleep : Staying up late disrupts hormone balance, which can lead to greying and hair loss.


Preventive care for gray hair that you can start today

To prevent gray hair, it is essential to review your daily life.

  • A balanced diet including black sesame, hijiki seaweed, nuts, and green and yellow vegetables is recommended for hair.

  • Getting quality sleep from 10pm to 2am is the "golden time for hair and skin."

  • Make a conscious effort to relieve stress by taking deep breaths, doing light exercise, and taking time for your hobbies.

  • Improving blood flow with scalp care massage or head spa makes it easier for oxygen and nutrients to reach the hair roots.


Acupuncture and head massage to help improve gray hair

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that "hair is excess blood," and it is believed that the flow of blood and qi within the body is deeply connected to the health of hair.

At our salon,

  • Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment on the scalp regulates blood flow and the autonomic nervous system

  • Head massage (dry head spa) for relaxation and improved blood circulation

The combination of these two ingredients helps prevent and improve gray hair from both the inside and outside .


Continuing care is important for improving gray hair

Gray hair is not something that can be dramatically improved with one change. For example, simply changing your diet for one day or getting enough sleep will not immediately reduce the number of gray hairs.

The hair growth cycle lasts for several months, and changes will gradually appear once the scalp environment is in good condition.


Therefore,

  • Regular acupuncture and head spa treatments

  • Combined with lifestyle changes

These two are very important.


First, please come in and we will check the hardness of your scalp and the state of your blood flow, and then propose the best plan for preventing and improving gray hair.


Summary | Preventing gray hair can start now

Gray hair is something that everyone worries about, but with proper care, you can change the way your hair looks in the future. At our salon, we combine acupuncture, head massage, and dry head spa to help naturally prevent gray hair.

Why not start by consulting us and having your scalp checked?
