Are you terrified of brushing your hair?

reileAt HAIR & SKIN CENTER is rescuing both women and men from hair
loss by using a highly touted, FDA-approved therapy called LLLT. It's capa-
ble of putting an end to the problem of thinning hair, thickening existing hair,
and promoting an increase of new growth. LLLT therapy has shown im-
pressive results in awakening hair follicles that have become dormant due
to genetics, hormonal and metabolic changes, chemotherapy, bariatric
surgery/weight-loss, harsh chemicals, hair applications (weaves, sew-ins,
extensions) and alopecia. The process uses low-level laser light therapy
(LLLT) to increase blood flow to the scalp, regenerating tissue — thus
resulting in better hair growth.

Their Story: Robin is the daughter of a doctor, Suzie is the daughter of a
pharmacist, and the two are best friends. Through thick and thin — in this
case, when Suzie began losing a healthy head of hair, leaving her with bald
areas and sparse growth all over her head — Robin did more than console
her friend. She stepped up her research to find a way to stop the hair loss.
"My hair was so thin, I wouldn't leave the house on a windy day for fear of
the consequences," Suzie admits she would have tried "anything that
showed promise of giving me back my hair" to stop the loss.

L

ast year, I participated in
J-Serve, an annual program
for Jewish youth throughout
the world that is part of Global
Youth Service Day, a national day of
service for teens from all faith corn-.
munities. My life was drastically
impacted for the better.
As a freshman in
high school, I did
not think that
I could impact
others in need to
the extent that
I did through
J-Serve. Almost
200 teens from
Metro Detroit
were split into dif-
ferent groups and sent
to sites where we did different
projects such as food packaging at
Yad Ezra in Berkley, gardening with
the Greening of Detroit program,
making packages for ovarian can-
cer patients and fixing up the Isaac
Agree Downtown Synagogue in
Detroit.
This year, teens will join together
once again for J-Serve Detroit's
first-ever, midyear event from 2:30-7
p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24. Projects will
occur at Gleaners Community Food
Bank of Southeastern Michigan,
the Baldwin Early Learning Center
in Pontiac and the Detroit Rescue
Mission Ministries. Registration
and pick up will be at Adat Shalom
Synagogue in Farmington Hills.
In my project last year, I visited
a nursing home where we made
art projects, sang songs and really
formed personal bonds with each
of the senior citizens. I worked with
a lady named Bonnie; we decorated
a flowerpot together that she keeps
on the windowsill in her room at the
nursing home.
Since working with Bonnie last
year, I made sure to maintain the
relationship I formed with her dur-

ing J-Serve by calling her often and
visiting her throughout the year.
Through my friendship with
Bonnie, I have learned to appreciate
the little things in my life that I nor-
mally would have taken for granted
and to always live life to its fullest,
because, as Bonnie would say, "Life
is too short to miss out on one day
of it."
In addition to the Feb. 24
midyear J-Serve Detroit,
the national J-Serve
event will be held on
Sunday, April 17.
J-Serve 2011
is made possible

ous grants from
the Stephen H.
Schulman Millennium
Fund at the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit and the Panim Institute of
BBYO in conjunction locally with
