Help Hair Whey Protein is an all-natural, vitamin rich protein drink designed to provide all the essential amino-acids, vitamins and proteins that make up the nutritional support for fuller, thicker and healthier hair.

Please avoid the following Anabolic supplements to maximize the effects of Help Hair Protein Shake: 

1) Whey Protein Isolate
2) Creatine especially Arginine or Orthonine
3) Growth Hormone
4) Testosterone patches, gel or injection
5) DHEA

11) Avoid all soy products and do not mix the shake with soy milk
12) HCG
13) Bio-indenticals Tell tell your doctor if you are taking any herbs or supplements not discussed such as Bromelain which may degrade the protein.

Do's and Dont's for taking Help Hair Protein:

1) Avoid taking extra hair vitamins such as biotin. This will slow regrowth.
2) Please take the shake daily. Proper nutrition is important to the hair follicle. If a constant supply of nutrition is not maintained or interrupted during regeneration this will slow the process.
3) Do not heat the shake. It will denature the protein.
4) If you have a change in health; uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, anemia, irregular menses, endocrine problems contact your doctor as this will affect the regrowth using the shake.
5) Multivitamins, fish oil, vitamin C and E will not interfere with the shake
6) Spicy foods such as curcumin (turmeric) or chili-peppers will actually enhance the effects of the shake
7) Caffeine of 200 MG daily(1-2 cups of coffee) will also enhance the shake.
8) Do not exceed 5 MG a day of biotin

Dosage: Weight in lbs; 125-250 lbs one scoop 2 x a day taken 12 hrs apart. More than 2 scoops a day is anabolic. For women 95-114 lbs one scoop daily and 1 Help Hair vitamin 12 hrs later. If you are unable to take 1 scoop 2 x daily then the second best is 1 scoop and 1 Help Hair vitamin (8-10 hrs apart).

Help Hair Protein Shake is a whey protein and is 99% lactose free and if you are lactose intolerant just add the shake to orange or grape juice and let sit for 15-20 minutes and the acidity will dissolve the extra small amount of milk sugar. Drinking the shake an hour or two after a meal also helps. Check all warnings on the label for a full list. But do not use the shake if taking sulfonamides , blood thinners, pregnancy , lactating , excessive alcohol or liver disease, sensitive to niacin or allergic to iodine.

Recipes: Mix Help Hair Protein Shake with ice, milk, skim milk, almond milk, water, orange or grape juice but never Soy Milk. Smoothies are tasty with fruit and filling. Adding instant coffee to chocolate flavor makes for a mocha frappé and studies have shown caffeine is good for hair regrowth but not excessive amounts. You can add the shake with oatmeal but be careful to not heat the whey since you may denature the protein.

Weight Loss: Help Hair Shake can be used for weight loss by replacing either one meal a day (breakfast or lunch) or using it as a snack replacement. You can drink it before lunch and dinner to replace an evening snack.

The shake can be used for working out. Adding milk, yogurt or even peanut butter will increase the protein per dose to 16-20 gms per serving.

Eating protein such as steak, chicken, fish daily is fine. Large amounts of egg whites can reduce your body of biotin.

Joanna's story as shown on Channel 7's Today Tonight

Former model, actress and songwriter Joanna Fergusson recalls that hair loss has been a concern for her since her primary school days. 

When looking at school photos Joanna was always aware of her ‘exceptionally high hairline’, a feature inherited from her maternal grandmother. 

But like many women, Joanna, now 35, was extremely creative in finding ways to conceal her hair loss and forged ahead with a career that often put her in front of the camera. 

“I became very fond of baseball caps and in Year 12 I set my sights on becoming a hairdresser. It was purely so that I could develop ways to disguise my thinning hair,” Joanna says. 

“Hairdressing wasn’t for me, so I trained as a makeup artist and this supplemented income earned from modelling, acting and song writing.   

“Prior to having children a big portion of my earnings were spent on solutions for camouflaging my thinning hair.” 

Joanna says some of the solutions she chose included expensive hair extensions and treatments and combing her hair in a strict style to conceal thinning areas on her scalp. 

After her two sons were born, Joanna’s hair loss became more pronounced and increasingly difficult to conceal. 

But as a single mother investing in ongoing solutions for concealing her hair loss became increasingly unaffordable. 

Joanna says she gained encouragement when a friend told her how the latest techniques in scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) are providing an affordable aesthetic semi permanent solution for concealing hair loss.    

SMP, which involves applying micro organic pigment into the epidermis layer of the skin, creates the illusion of greater hair density.  

The pigment appears as hair follicles, thereby creating the appearance of a fuller head of hair.   

Matched to the patient’s existing hair colour and skin tone, the non-invasive procedure, which involves no down time or scarring, lasts up to five years.  

After a consultation with trichologist Kate Dawes of Medical Hair Restoration Australia (MHRA) in Nedlands, Joanna decided to proceed with the treatment. 

“I didn’t think twice about having SMP and I most certainly will have it done again when it starts to wear off in five years time,” Joanna says.  

“Life is short so if something bothers you and you are in a position to do something about it, then do.”  

Joanna says hair loss can be devastating for women, particularly given that women link the appearance of their hair to their overall attractiveness. 

“Any woman will tell you they don’t feel right when their hair isn’t right,” Joanna says.

“It’s pretty hard to feel good when one looks in the mirror and sees evidence of balding.” 

Trichologist Kate Dawes says demand is rising among both men and women for SMP treatment. 

Kate says SMP provides an ideal alternative for people who can’t afford hair transplant surgery or who aren’t ready to commit to a completely permanent solution. 

Her clinic’s staff have been trained to utilise the latest equipment developed by German and Spanish company, Goldeneye,  

“Patients are delighted with the results achieved with SMP,” Kate says. 

“Medical Hair Restoration Australia only use the highest standard quality pigments available and procedures are completed at our modern, hygienic and sterilised clinic in Nedlands.”

Understanding Female Hair Loss

Female hair loss can be a source of worry and embarrassment for millions of women around the world, especially as female pattern baldness is less well understood than the male equivalent.  

Hair loss can be caused by a number of factors, including medication, infections and skin diseases, but as with baldness in men, loss of hair is most commonly due to genetics, hormones and the natural ageing process for women. Many women find their hair thinning after reaching menopause, due to an increase in androgen hormones, and women with female family members who experienced hair loss are more likely to have this genetic disposition.

Female pattern baldness may be observed as an increase in the number of hairs falling out or left on hair brushes, which is higher than the 100 to 150 normally lost per day on average as older hairs are replaced. If you also notice localised bald patches on the scalp or your ponytail becoming thinner, you should speak to a hair loss specialist to seek professional advice on prevention and treatment. Identifying the underlying cause of hair loss based on its appearance and your own medical history is the first step in successful treatment.

Women and hair loss

Does feeling tired seem like a way of life for you?

Have you noticed you are shedding more hair than usual and have brittle nails?

Hair loss can be a devastating condition for many women, with many being either at a loss where to turn to for help or just too embarrassed to discuss it with health professionals.

Medical Hair Restoration Australia director and trichologist Kate Dawes says many women dismiss the above symptoms as something that is simply a manifestation of either being a woman, age and or a busy life.

“Sometimes women think this is just another thing that I have to put up with because I’ve reached a certain age,” Mrs Dawes says.

“This just isn’t the case. It’s important to investigate the reasons why.”

Mrs Dawes says she counsels an increasing number of women whose lethargy and hair loss is due to a simple nutritional deficiency.

Hair loss caused by poor nutrition can be successfully treated with nutritional supplements such as iron, essential fatty acids and vitamins and minerals.

Anaemia is common among women, particularly those on restricted diets who experience heavy menstruation, and this often contributes to hair loss.

She says while pathology results showing ferritin levels of 20 -30 are often seen as normal, much higher ferritin levels of around 70 are needed to maintain healthy hair.

    

Mrs Dawes says good dietary sources of iron include red meat, green leafy vegetables, shell fish, egg yolk, nuts and cereal.

She says it’s a good idea to eat foods rich in vitamin C to enhance iron absorption.

Women with hair loss and less than ideal ferritin levels are often prescribed the iron supplement Ferrogradumet, along with a vitamin C, supplement, to increase absorption.

She says female and male clients are also achieving excellent results in improving the health of their hair and minimizing hair loss with the Help Hair Protein Shake.

Developed by United States based hair transplant surgeon and dermatologist Dr Larry Shapiro, the Help Hair Protein Shake is distributed by Medical Hair Restoration in Perth Western Australia.    

Other recommended supplements include essential fatty acids (EFAs) such as omega 3 fatty acid & 6 linoleic fatty acid and lysine.

Good dietary sources of EFAs include primrose oil, grape seed oil, flax-seed oil, nuts and seeds, salmon, trout, tuna and mackerel.

Foods such as cheese, eggs, potatoes, milk, meat and lima beans provide sources of lysine.
