Holistic Solutions for Hair Loss

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month, highlighting the profound impact hair loss has on individuals of all ages and genders. Affecting approximately 56 million adults in the United States, this issue predominantly impacts men, but women and children are also affected.

Maureen Toohey—a trichologist and owner of Fresh Organic Salon, in Bedford Hills—notes that while many myths surround hair loss, it’s important to know that help is available. She has been assisting individuals with alopecia (hair loss), scalp disorders and hair conditions for more than 30 years. Her expert approach starts with an in-depth evaluation to get to the root cause and then she employs a holistic approach using proven therapies for restoring youthfulness to one’s hair, scalp balance and overall wellness.

“The best advice I give my clients is to eliminate toxic chemicals as much as possible, as what we put on our skin and in our body affects our blood and overall health,” says Toohey. “Secondly, eat clean. Feeding your body organic, balanced nutrition—healthy fats, protein and a variety of fruits and vegetables—and avoiding sugar and processed foods will help your hair become stronger and shinier. Plus, your skin will glow, too.” Finally, she highly recommends reducing mental stress through mind-body practices such as meditation.

All products used at Fresh Organic Salon are safe, nonabrasive, free of side effects and, most importantly, effective. Toohey also employs laser therapy, the only U.S. Food & Drug Administration-approved treatment that produces 99.9 percent results in regrowth. In addition, she collaborates with clients’ doctors, dermatologists and integrative medicine practitioners to ensure comprehensive care.
