It's Not Too Late To Save Your Hair

Did you know that hair loss is more common in the fall than any other season? Believe it or not, we actually shed 50 - 100 hairs a day, but board-certified dermatologist Dr. Terrence Keaney, M.D. has some tips for your hair care routine this fall that can help prevent hair loss.

According to Dr. Terrence Keaney, M.D., hair loss isn’t actually what we think it is. Typically when we think of hair loss, we picture our hair falling out and leaving a bald spot, but what actually happens is that our hairs miniaturize themselves. This means that the hair is still growing as it should, however, it’s thinner, weaker and shorter.

You don’t need to worry quite yet about losing your hair though as this miniaturization happens over the course of years. Although, you should start taking precautions now as Dr. Keaney warns it is easier to prevent hair loss than treat hair loss. He recommends using Dove Men+Care Thick and Strong Fortifying 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner that is enriched with calcium and caffeine as it helps make your hair stronger, thicker and fuller. 

 For more in-depth strategies on maintaining your hair's health and beauty, check out our article on how to save your hair.

However, if you're already experiencing hair loss, you still may not need to worry. Dr. Keaney recommends an early treatment using topical minoxidil, or better known as Rogaine. It is only if hair loss continues that treatments need to become stronger. Dr. Keaney says that he introduces treatments such as finasteride, platelet-rich plasma injections, photobiomodulation, or nutraceuticals if the topical minoxidil doesn't help.

The most important thing to remember out of all of this is to take care of your hair. Avoiding scalp irritation is the best way to ensure you don't fall victim to hair loss since the more irritated your scalp becomes, the more likely hair miniaturization is to occur. Make sure to brush your hair daily and use products that promotes hair and scalp health.

3 Ways to Plan For Financial Success

While most of us think about our savings plan and retirement funds when mapping out our road to financial freedom, there are actually a lot of other ways to do it. Financial security can, after all, come in all shapes and sizes - but you won’t be able to benefit from them unless you know where to look.

Here is a handful of excellent ways to plan for financial success and a secure future so that you can feel a bit more relaxed.

#1 Know your investments

Having a savings account is great and all that but what about the other options that can make your hard-earned money grow a bit faster? Trading in stocks seems, to a lot of people, like a bit of a gamble but there are many ways to make it a bit safer than you might have originally thought.

You could have a look at a passive index savings fond, for example, which is both much safer and cheaper than a regular active fond. That way, you’ll be able to benefit from the market as long as it grows and can continue to make money of what you already have. Planning with a focus on retirement readiness ensures that your investment strategy supports long-term financial goals. It's about aligning your portfolio with a future where you can afford to stop working when you choose.

Have a look at this article to get started right away and consider how much you’re willing to risk before making any decisions.

#2 Have a backup plan

A backup plan is about more than just putting away ten percent or so of your salary each month; you need to be able to live comfortable, after all, if something should happen to you and you’re unable to work as you used to.

Just like with writing down our final will, most of us try not to think about these types of uncomfortable truths. Yet, in order to take care of yourself and your loved ones, it’s a good idea to look into hiring a disability lawyer so that you have an insurance ready.

It’s the kind of stuff that could save you if you were to be in an accident, for example, and you’ll be able to look after your family no matter what.

#3 Find a like-minded partner

Finally, one of the best ways to ensure that your future is filled with prosperity and financial growth is to find a partner who thinks the same way and has the same priorities.

Undoubtedly, you’re going to struggle much more if your partner is more of a spender and prefers not to think about their financial future; secure yourself by making sure that you have a partner who won’t argue with you about money. That way, you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches as well, in the long run.

You have the chance to explore acres of pristine hiking trails and take in the scenery, as well as immerse yourself in outdoor adventure. It can come as a surprise to those outside of the US that such a monumental natural wonder exists so close to such a major American city.

The Everglades

Everglades National Park in Florida is an epic one and a half million-acre wetlands preserve, located right on the southern tip of the Sunshine State. The area is made up of coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes and pine flatwoods that are home to hundreds of animal species and fascinating plants and give you a fantastic slice of unspoiled natural land. You can spot wildlife, go on hikes, biking, tours and much more.
