Dr. Heather Pearman, in Pelham, NY encourages patients to seek out methods to straighten hair without the use of the common chemicals like Sodium Hydroxide relaxer. Dr. Heather Pearman shares...
"Having used chemicals most of my life on my ethnic textured hair, I was tired of the breakage and disappointing results. I was continuously seeking out products that are healthier for my hair but still being able to maintain "Me!" My Mother who has tested every product under the sun and leading her to healthier products told me about a new method that she had tried, and I, and others have been using it ever since. It feels great to be able to recommend a regime that has helped so many with eliminating dangerous chemicals, and even has their hair growing in faster! I no longer have to worry about my hair swelling in the humidity either, which is such a great thing. I have enough to worry about being a Doctor and Mother of two girls and now I am essentially care-free about my hair!"
More lovingly known as Dr. Heather by her patients, she uses many methods in her approach to health, and offers special events for women specifically to encourage beauty through simply being healthy and well. Recently, she offered a class to her patients who had experienced or are experiencing hair loss. What most learned for the first time is the actual mechanics of the "Sodium Hydroxide Relaxer" commonly used in the salon, and found that it has the same active ingredient as Drano! Sodium Hydroxide dissolves hair in plumbing and when used as a relaxer, it is doing the same to the hair. When this is applied to the scalp it begins to break down the protective seal around the hair shaft, and over time can permanently damage the follicle, leading to thinning and baldness. This is a common problem for ethnic women who must relax their hair to keep control of the texture. Unfortunately it can lead to devastating results over time. Dr. Heather not only recommends protective barriers to the die-hard relaxer users, but also tests them through a series of naturopathic methods and recommends dietary improvements and supplements that encourage the strongest hair growth and skin quality. Testing, for deficiencies, she is able to zero in on the appropriate array of nutrients and stimulators to bring back and increase a healthy glow from the inside out.
Not only do Dr. Heather's patients feel better, they simply look better and because of her wealth of knowledge and great results, most events are SRO!
