Hair Loss Solution - TK TrichoKare

In the harsh and dry Egyptian climate, is it any wonder that ways of achieving and maintaining beauty and youth are one of the top concerns in ancient Egypt?

Word has it that Cleopatra had also indulged in aromatic head massages incorporating Rosemary and Almond oils as well as extracts of other herbs to ensure her ‘crown’ of full, black and glossy hair – one of the exacting standards of Egyptian beauty. What else better to entrance the men holding the very seat of ancient power?

Herbalism is the oldest known method of healing -- used to some degree by all ancient cultures. It is not hard to imagine why early man, when marveled by the fact that a sprig of Rosemary can revive and restore a full headful of head, considered certain herbs to be magical.

Through the study of the effectiveness of useful plants, men have employed nature’s healing powers that will assist to regenerate, restore and even revive the body to the Natural optimal state – as Nature intended.

One of the earliest herbalists to note the effects of useful plants and document them was Theophrastus (380-287 B.C), also hailed as the Father of Botany. He created a massive book of herbal lore in Materia Medica. Being the first ever collection of the beneficial effects of useful herbs, and their preparation, this ancient text is still referred to by modern day herbalists.

(a page from the original
Materia Medica)

“ We must consider the distinctive characters and the general nature of plants from the point of view of their morphology , their behavior under external conditions, their mode of generation, and the whole course of their life.” - (translated, Theophrastus)

The documented use of herbology and aromatherapy for beautifying purposes dated as far back as biblical times.

When the Persian King Xerxes I was in the process of selecting his future queen, in accordance with royal tradition, the selected lady-candidates were granted a year of luxurious palace treatments. With the emphasis on the beauty of hair, spa-like treatments consisting of perfumed herbs like myrrh and majoram with essential oils of rose and jojoba catered to the head-turning locks for the ladies destined worthy of the seat of power – truly a beauty-queen.

Herbology experienced a phoenix revival in medieval times. With the increase of trade between empires and kingdoms, great access to different herbs once deemed too expensive for beauty aides were finally opened. Perfumed hair-oils made from the extract of Lavender and Roses were widespread not just for their charming scent, but also for their herbal benefits. Such paragons of beauty accompanied with the alluring smell of herbs surely were the main inspirations from Malory’s Genevieve, Shakespeare’s Juliet to Dante’s Beatrice.

Modern trichology, 'the science of hair and scalp', was established in England in 1912 as the Institute of Trichologists. It is the oldest professional association for trichologists in the world, the largest provider of trichology training in Europe. At over 100 years old, is the longest established body of its type anywhere in the world.

This is in response to the need to explore the branch of medicine that deals with the scientific study of the health of hair and scalp. This encompasses hair loss, hair breakage, infections, scaling or itchy scalp and excessively dry or oily scalp.

As part of the diagnosis, a trichologist will analyse the hair and scalp microscopically via advanced technological tools. This is done to assess structural damage, establish the rate of hair loss, confirm the presence of fungus or lice, or identify genetic influences.
