If you’ve spent any time reading about health and wellness lately, chances are high that you’ve come across the discussion of hair loss. It is a hot topic these days, mostly because so many health conditions can cause it. And because it’s just so personal and can really have devastating effects on self-esteem. Although it is talked about a lot, and there are certainly a lot of products on the market for it, its causes are often unknown.

Since starting as a health coach over a decade ago, I have helped many people heal their health from within. So what have I learned after all these years? It’s not just what you put in your body, but also what you use on your body that can be a major help or hinderance to your health. 

Extra stuff

So first let’s chat about most topical hair products on the market. The bells and whistles we’ve come to expect from shampoo and conditioner are not necessarily good for your hair. Earlier this year, the New York Times reported on a “naturally” branded cleansing shampoo that appears to have been causing significant hair loss. The article highlighted the lack of oversight the FDA has over the beauty industry, and the challenges customers faced in understanding what was happening to them.

The makers of shampoo have been putting extra stuff into shampoo for years. Everything from panthenol, to conditioners, silicones, and pearlizing agents to make hair shinier, all sorts of beneficial-sounding things that have nothing to do with cleansing your hair—or, more importantly here, your scalp.As technology improved, formulas designed so that the extra ingredients in hair products would stick to the hair (and scalp) more effectively became the order of the day.

No matter how ‘beneficial’ these kinds of ingredients might be to your hair, they’re 180-degrees opposite what a shampoo is supposed to do, which is cleanse. And on the scalp, I believe they can block the hair follicle, and impede growth.

Phillip Kingsley, the famous trichologist who introduced the idea of treating the scalp with at least as much care as the hair itself, often talked about the problem of not adequately cleansing the scalp and the serious effects it could have on hair growth. The detergents in most shampoos are drying and damaging to hair in general, but they’re really awful for colored hair. They leech and fade the color, so extra stuff was added over the years. Then there is the problem of conditioners and products that sit on your scalp and doesn’t rinse off.

A product line that came out of necessity

Yoel Vaisberg, the founder of HAIELLE, experienced alopecia areata (sudden hair loss with circular bald patches) and psoriasis (a skin condition characterized by scales and dry patches) due to stress. “At that time, I couldn’t figure out what those conditions affecting my appearance were, nor their cause.  I started doing research on my own.  I tried different topical products to treat the symptoms, but I also consulted and looked for help with professionals that ranged from traditional and alternative medicine to spiritual coaches”.

The human body is such a marvelous creation that even today we still do not fully understand how it works. Among its stunning features, it includes alert mechanisms that flag when something in our body is not balanced or working properly. 

Yoel Vaisberg, Founder, HAIELLE

During the following months, Yoel’s bald patches disappeared completely and psoriasis decreased by more than 90%. And so HAIELLE was born. HAIELLE launched after three years of research and development. Hallmarks of the line are the HAIELLE Active Botanical Concentrate which has 29 plant extracts and oils, including baobab, marula, sea buckthorn, ungurahui and abyssinian, to help hydrate hair, repair damage and defend against oxidative stress that can lead to hair loss. Then their is the HAIELLE Complete Recovery Complex which depends on the ingredients capixyl and phytocelltec to keep scalp stems cells healthy and create a fertile environment for hair growth. There is also is a volume line and hydrating line of shampoos, conditioners and styling products. The online quiz can help guide you to your perfect product mix.

I learned that appearance concerns are often signals of something greater occurring inside.  At that moment I understood that it makes more sense to address beauty concerns through a holistic approach because in this way, we can significantly improve our overall well being.  So HAIELLE was crafted with a clear purpose: to enhance well-being by restoring balance.

Hair Care That Actually Works

Clean, performance driven ingredients is what attracted me to HAIELLE but what kept me coming back is my hair finally felt in peak health and visibly longer and healthier.

Here is my go-to routine!

• WASH– My routine starts with the HAIELLE Volume Shampoo and Hydrate Leave in Conditioner.
• TREAT–
  • I follow up with the HAIELLE Active Botanical Concentrate formulated to nurture, purify and revitalize hair and scalp creating a robust environment for healthy hair growth. The 100% natural product is a stimulating blend of 29 plant extracts and oils is densely packed with Vitamins, Minerals, Omega fatty Acids. It is a multi-purpose and multi-benefit oil that smooths but is actually working hard for your hair.
  • Then I go into the roots with the HAIELLE Complete Recovery Complex. This powerhouse uses biotechnology to increase the life span of hair follicle stem cells, and to protect and maintain the function of scalp stem cells. The synergistic action of its active ingredients improves hair anchoring, reduces follicle miniaturization, and promotes a normal hair cycle. The resulting formula provides fuller, thicker, and healthier-looking hair.
• STYLE– The HAIELLE Volume Spray delivers root to tip volume and shields hair against styling heat and UV rays damage. It also helps to lock-in color vibrancy and prevent fading.

The results are amazing – lots of shine, perfect volume and seemingly much less frizz and flyaways than usual. My hair feels stronger and more resilient overall.

After drying, my hair feels super lightweight, and even the ends (which were a bit overgrown and dried out from color-treatments)always nourished and softer to the touch.

My hair also stayed cleaner longer.

Typically I’m reaching for the dry shampoo 36 to 48 hours after showering, but after After drying, my hair felt super lightweight, and even the ends (which were a bit overgrown and dried out from color-treatments) felt nourished and softer to the touch. I can go three full days with little to no grease and my hair was still bouncy. After using this product line about a year now I can definitively say HAIELLE definitely improved the luster and boosted the overall appearance of my hair.

Placing the main focus of beauty on the aesthetic approach drove the industry to make many mistakes. We learned that there is no reason to compromise health for beauty. In fact, they are intrinsically linked. The balance in our relationships, our behavior, the way we express ourselves and the way we connect with the environment around us are the real source of beauty at the deepest level.
