Restore Your Hair Without Surgery

Over 5 million women experience hair loss at some point in their lives. Some of the conditions may be hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorder, autoimmune disease, stress and a unique disorder called trichotillomania (hair pulling). 

The Hair for Life Center has developed a non-surgical solution called the Intralock Process™. After years of research and testing, this proprietary method of hair enhancement blends real human hair strands between fine thinning areas to make hair full again. The procedure can take as little as 2 to 3 hours to restore a full head of hair without the use of glue or damage to existing hair. Since 100% real human hair is applied, clients can wash, condition and use any styling tools desired on their newly restored head of hair. There are no special restrictions or limitations put on day-to-day activities. 

The Hair for Life Center offers free private consultations with a free demonstration. The center’s hair experts want clients to actually see how they could look with their hair restored. “We know how important hair is for women. We feel that for women hair is not a luxury—it’s a necessity!” 

Location: 163 Engle St., Bldg. 4A, Englewood. For more information and to schedule a free private consultation, call 201-731-3530. Learn more at TheHairForLifeCenter.com. See ad, page 11.



Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
