26 FOCUS - NOVEMBER 2015 Theres more to hair than simply washing and drying it we curl and colour it trim and tease it. Highlight lowlight style and set. It frames vir- tually every adult face on the planet yet remains as unique as an individu- als fingerprints and a potent fashion statement for many. Rosario Greco knows hair from the bottom up. Decades as a salon owner he has tamed many tresses and satis- fied countless customers. ut his cur- rent incarnation Port Perrys Rosario Greco Styles ventures beyond rou- tine makeovers into more specialized services. The initiative was inspired by per- sonal tragedy. My father passed from cancer Rosario says candidly. My wife Kathi and I wanted to give back to the community by offering an indi- vidualized service for cancer patients going through chemotherapy as well as for other people who were losing their hair. His passion ignited Rosario pur- sued the pro ect with vigour expand- ing his knowledge and experience through an academic program. I now have a diploma as a trained trichologist technician he explains. Trichology is the scientific study of hair and scalp. Itll take another cou- ple of years but eventually Ill gradu- ate with a degree. ut like so many scientific studies itll never really end. Theres always new knowledge available. Medical causes of course repre- sent only one reason for hair loss. ostly its hereditary. ut the way that you take care of your scalp is also an important factor. A lot of todays hair care products contain chemicals which can build up over time clog the follicles and result in hair falling out. Scalp disorders like psoriasis and dandruff can also contribute to hair loss. The solution in all circumstances is a detailed program of analysis and treatment. We use a powerful camera to view and analyze the condition of the scalp. We display its pictures for the client assess the scalps health and design a course of treatment. In the case of a cancer patient we try to schedule this initial analysis prior to the start of chemo as well as another afterward. Rosario describes the 6 - required treatments as intense. Each treatment will take one to two hours he explains. We cleanse the scalp with salon-grade products and stimulate the blood flow around the follicles with massage. In effect this wakes them up and sends nutrients to the follicles and roots. The client leaves the salon with the supplies and instructions to repeat the process at home and how well they follow through is a key to success. ut there are no guarantees he says. We can help a client to keep the hair they have by stopping or at least slowing down their loss. So as long as the follicle is present hair can grow. Its our job to create the optimal environment for that to happen. And we can also thicken the hair they have. Rosario monitors his cancer patients as the hair-restoration treat- ments proceed.
