The technologies revolutionising the way we care for our hair

Haircare is important for both men and women, as healthy hair can often say a lot about an individual’s diet and overall health. In order to retain healthy hair, it is important to ensure that you have the correct tools in place. Although unhealthy hair and hair loss is sometimes hereditary, it is important to care for it as much as possible to protect the remaining follicles and scalp. While the option of a hair transplant can be beneficial and the cheap hair transplantation cost available can make it a promising opportunity to restore your youthful hair, you may be able to slow down hair loss by utilising some of the latest, revolutionary technologies. Here we are going to look at some of the technologies that are revolutionising the way that we care for our hair.

Bladeless hairdryers

As interest in the beauty industry begins to broaden and the use of technology becomes more and more evident, so too does the number of products that are available for you to use within the market. One prime example of this is the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer. This unique hairdryer uses patented Air Multiplier technology and a digital V9 motor which helps to improve manoeuvrability. In order to protect the hair, its Intelligent Heat Control system helps to ensure that your hair is never exposed to temperatures over 145C, ensuring your follicles remain protected at all times. 

Customisable shampoo and conditioner

With shampoo and conditioner widely available in supermarkets, there are a huge number of options available for you to choose from. However, with the large range of formulations claiming to suit certain types of hair, it can be challenging to find the right one for you, particularly if you find yourself left with dandruff or greasy-looking hair just a day after washing. However, as a result of recent technological advancements, it is possible to have a custom shampoo and conditioner built for your hair type and its specific needs. This unique technology will scan your hair and identify exactly the type of shampoo and ingredients you should be using for your hair. This information will then be transferred to your hair stylist and the concoction of shampoo and conditioner will then be mixed up for you. This is a sure-fire way to help you revitalise your hair starting with the basics.

PRP therapy

As technological advancements grew in the healthcare and beauty industry, the genetic engineering revolution was born. This revolution has resulted in the introduction of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy – a new treatment aimed at combatting thinning hair. This particular therapy is designed to enrich existing hair follicles and slow down the hair thinning process, by injecting plasma which is extracted directly from the patient’s blood, isolated and then concentrated. Plasma is well known for its ‘healing’ attributes, and while the therapy has not been around long enough to be clinically proven to prevent hair loss, it is said to be very beneficial in ensuring hair remains strong and healthy. While this may not be a part of your everyday hair care routine, opting for this treatment could be an ideal opportunity to give your hair a revitalising boost in order to ensure that it remains as healthy as possible.

With all this in mind, it is important to ensure that your hair is as healthy as possible and that starts with you and your daily hair care routine. What haircare solution will you start with?
