The path of womanhood takes an intriguing turn at the onset of peri-menopause and menopause. Besides the usual suspects like hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, women often find themselves grappling with hair loss, hair thinning, breakage, or in severe cases, bald patches.
But what exactly prompts this sudden hair change?

The answer lies in the underworld of hormones. As women step into the phase of menopause, they witness a steady decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels, coupled with an increase in testosterone production. This inevitable hormonal turbulence is the key contributor to hair thinning and loss.

A deeper peek into scientific research reveals that this reduction in hair growth is predominantly induced by a decline in the anagen phase (growth phase). Moreover, there's a noticeable regression of scalp hair to vellus hair - a type of hair that is lighter, and finer - a transformation attributed to changes in androgen levels.

While you cannot reverse the biological clock or shut off these bodily responses, there are ways to keep your tresses healthy and thriving.

Besides having your hair cut and coloured by a proficient stylist, here are some golden pieces of advice:

1. Nourish your body with wholesome, nutritious food. Fresh fruit and veges with all the colours of the rainbow. Don't forget ti include loads of beans and legumes for plant based protein.
2. Incorporate a standard women's multivitamin supplement into your daily routine. While these are guaranteed to help just on their own, they can help fill any gaps in your diet.
3. Stay consistent with your fitness regimen - regular exercise does wonders!
4. Hydrate yourself religiously. Drink lots of water and limit sugary drinks to as close to zero as possible.
5. Choose a gentle, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Ask your hair professional for recommendations. We have quite a few helpful options to extend the growing phase of the hair cycle and can suggest something specific to you.
   

Journeying through menopause and peri-menopause is undoubtedly challenging, but it doesn't mean you have to bid a tearful goodbye to beautiful, healthy hair.

Remember, the power to control your hair health is literally at your fingertips!

So on the 14th of August, we have been in Riverstone 7 years. We've seen team members come and go. We've met amazing people. We've laughed so much and we have fallen in love with Riverstone.
It's an amazing little town. It's people are full of such characters. We love Riverstone so much and so we are celebrating with a massive sale that put us on the map!

Riverstone is a town unlike any other. It has an extremely passionate community with quite a few vocal individuals.

Everyone here "wants the best" for Rivo but it's the "what's best" that varies from person to person.

Let me tell you... We know what's best and what's best is, even without an overpass or a new shopping centre, everyone needs to look and feel fabulous and hair is where it starts.

Get an appointment! Get amazing hair!

And enjoy our Birthday!

Dust?
Let me guess. When you hear the word dust you think of this?
Or the nasty stuff under your cupboards.
Well we are obsessed with putting dust in our hair!
Why? It creates super light texture and hold but is dry, unlike a wax or gel.
Think of that first day you shampoo and your hair is flippy, floppy AWFUL. You feel flat and you look flat.
We have found that THE best one is Osis Dust It.
How do you use it?
After shampooing, conditioning and blast drying to bone dry, sprinkle as much dust it in your hair as you need to create a dirty, lived in, rock and roll do. 

Texture. Movement. Awesome.
You DO need to do 2 shampoos to get it out but it's totally worth it.
Think Beachy waves.
Rock and Roll messiness.
Boho Hair.
Scrunchy crunchy hair needs to stay in the 80's. Move with us into 2013.
Rock on.
