Hair loss occupies all of us. If we are not experiencing hair loss, we have a close friend or relative who does. In fact, dozens of millions suffer from hair loss. It is only natural that so many hair loss myths will arise. We have gathered all the major hair loss and hair growth myths. Read them carefully before choosing a hair loss treatment.
1. The myth – People who have fast growing hair will not suffer from hair loss.
The truth – Fast growing hair indicates on a good nutrition but has no connection with hair loss.
2. The myth - Hanging up side down or standing on your head increases the blood pressure in the head and helps with preventing hair loss, stopping it and regrowing hair.
The truth – hanging up side down will only make you look ridiculous. We suggest you try other hair loss treatments.
3. The myth - You may have male pattern baldness only if your mother side of the family has a history of balding.
The truth - It has been proven that male and female hair loss can be inherited by both sides of the family.
4. The myth – hair cuts make the hair grow faster
The truth – All seen hair is in fact dead tissues. Hair cuts only cuts the hair to where the hair shaft is thicker. You may get the illusion that cutting the hair actually makes it thicker but the hair follicles are not influenced by it.
5. The myth – Wearing a hat or using a towel to dry it may stimulate hair loss
The truth – Pulling your hair strongly may in some cases affect hair loss. Yet, wearing hats or using a towel over your head will not stimulate hair loss.
6. The myth - Stress may cause permanent hair loss
The truth – In some cases, stress may only cause temporary hair loss.
7. The myth – Drinking and smoking do not affect hair loss
The truth – Smoking, drinking and other bad habits such as bad diet may stimulate hair loss processes.

Understanding Hair Loss is Key to Prevention
by Tim Gorman
When you start experiencing symptoms such as fever or fatigue, you immediately start investigating causes, right? Why should hair loss be any different? If you blindly try to treat your hair loss without understanding the cause of it, you could be doing more harm than good. In order to prevent hair loss and start re-growing healthy hair, diagnosing the cause of the loss is the first step.
Hair loss can be age related, genetic, stress-related, or due to environmental factors. Age related hair loss is the most common type of hair loss, and occurs when the natural re-growth process stops or slows. Remember, everyone loses hair, an average of 100 hairs a day. Problems occur when your hair stops re-growing or you re-grow fewer hairs than what you lose.
Hair loss can be related to stress caused by rapid weight loss, illness (especially prolonged illness), surgery, reaction to anesthesia, or intolerance of certain drugs. A tragedy or even a major life decision such as moving, having a child, or marriage can cause or accelerate stress related hair loss.
Perming, coloring, or bleaching your hair can cause hair loss because it weakens the hair strand. Tight pony-tails or braids can cause hair loss from actually pulling the hair from the roots. Diagnosing and removing the cause of the stress will likely allow hair to re-grow fully.
Poor nutrition can also cause hair loss, and eating a healthier diet will allow hair to re-grow.
These are only a few of the many causes of hair loss. But remember, diagnosing the cause of any symptom is the first step in treatment and prevention. Hair loss is no different.

How To Stop Hair Loss
futBy Arturas Gotceitas
Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Hair loss can be hard to predict. Hair loss typically begins between the ages of 12 and 40.
Stress reduction can be helpful in slowing hair loss. Some drugs can cause hair loss on the scalp and other places on the body. Is it common to be upset about hair loss. But some people experience excessive hair loss due to many reasons. In case of hair loss due to a certain medication, consult your doctor and ask him to suggest an alternative. These ways can work for you, but in recent medical studies the main cause of hair loss, at least 95% of the time, is either genetic and or hormonal. Usually, the earlier it begins, the more severe the hair loss will be. The most common type of hair loss seen in women is androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern alopecia or baldness.
Male pattern hair loss is the most common form of hair loss, representing close to 95% of all cases of hair loss in men. Choose a hair loss treatment that is better suited to your own specific needs. Hormonal changes linked to pregnancy or menopause can cause hair loss in women. Both men and women report hair loss as one of the side effects they fear most after being diagnosed with cancer. So as you might have guessed, many female hair loss and male pattern baldness treatments attempt to reduce this enzymatic activity taking place on your scalp.

Hair Loss Treatments That Really Work
Hair loss has affected both men and women for years and years. However, men have proven to be more susceptible to it than women. Male cases of hair loss are often referred to as Male Pattern Baldness. It is thought be a hereditary condition that affect a certain percentage of middle aged men and young adults.
With hair loss, comes the many different treatments that all claim to alleviate or reverse the condition. But, which of those treatments really do work? Well, the best thing to do is to try them all. But, then again - that will only be a waste of resources and may only lead to disappointment. So, to avoid frustration, check out the list of different hair loss treatments below. These treatments don't just claim to work --- they actually do.
What Causes Hair Loss
Before we take a plunge into the world of hair loss treatments, it is necessary that we discuss what causes it in the first place. Hair Loss is a genetic condition. If your father, your grandfather, your uncle and your brother have it - then there is big chance that you will have it too. It may also be stress related. The condition is often caused by chemical imbalance in your body. Thyroid problems as well as an excess in androgen (male hormones) and estrogen (if you're a woman) may cause the condition.
Now that we have tackled the cause of hair loss, we can move on and discuss ways to treat and reverse it. Camouflage techniques such as wigs and hairpieces have not been included in the list. The items below are mainly chemical stimulators and inhibitors. Hair Replacement Surgery is also discussed.
Growth Stimulators
Growth stimulators may be used as the first attempt to counter hair loss at its' early stages. To prevent or delay progression you should use growth stimulators to revitalize the weakened hair follicles in your scalp. It works by stimulating growth at a very superficial level. Growth Stimulators are indeed effective and you are guaranteed hair growth. But, the results may be short-lived as the underlying cause of hair loss is not being addressed.
Anti-Androgen Drugs and DHT Inhibitors
Anti-Androgen drugs and DHT inhibitors have longer lasting effects than growth stimulators do. Anti-androgen drugs work by countering the androgen levels in your system. DHT inhibitors work slightly different from Anti-androgen drugs. Instead of attacking androgen head on, it focuses on disrupting the binding of testosterone and return DHT levels back to normal - thus, preventing further fall out.
Super Oxide Dismutase
Super Oxide Dismutase works by reducing the body's immune response against the hair follicle. Therefore, the follicles are spared and hair loss is prevented.
Surgical Intervention
A popular hair loss treatment is Hair Replacement Surgery. As the name suggest, it involves the implantation of 'grafts' - hair follicles from a donor site - into your scalp or places where you need hair. Hair Replacement Surgery is very effective, although it may take some time before the grafts take and start looking like natural hair.
With any treatment, it is always advised to uses synergistic methods. That means using more than one hair loss treatment at one time. You can use growth stimulators at the same time using DHT inhibitors. That way, you will have both long term and short term treatments to help you keep your hair.

Hair Loss - Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal: A Consumer's Guide To Finding Effective, Comfortable, Safe and Affordable Laser Hair Removal
Raleigh Laser Hair Removal expert and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Law Provides guidelines to consumers for choosing the appropriate Laser Hair Removal system and clinic.
October 27, 2004 -- Laser Hair Removal: A Consumers Guide to finding effective, safe fast and affordable treatments. Raleigh Laser Hair Removal expert and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Law Provides guidelines to consumers for choosing the appropriate Laser Hair Removal system and clinic.
Laser hair removal has come a long way since the first laser for hair removal received FDA clearance in the mid 1990s. Older generation lasers were very slow, very painful and worked only on individuals with very dark hair and very light skin. Today, lasers can work on all skin colors and some lasers are even safe for treating tanned skinned.
Which laser to choose?
-Spot size
The spot size of a laser determines how much skin area can be covered per laser pulse. Lasers with larger spot sizes (18 mm)can cover more area much more quickly. For example, a laser hair removal treatment of the back or full legs could take as long as 2 hours with older lasers. Today, these areas can be completely treated in less than 20 minutes. The spot size not only determines the speed and comfort of the treatment, but the efficacy as well. In the April 2004 issue of Derm Surgery, a peer reviewed medical study showed that lasers with an 18 mm spot size (exclusive to the Candela GentleLase) was more effective at removing hair than lasers with smaller spot sizes.
-Cooling systems
Each laser has a different way of cooling the skin. Some lasers use a topical cooling gel, others use a chilled tip. The most consistent, comfortable and safest way to cool the skin is with a Dynamic Cooling Device or DCD
-Frequency
Many different lasers are effective in hair removal. Light skin can be safely treated with most laser hair removal systems. Dark skin can be safely treated with Alexandrite lasers, Diode lasers or long pulsed nd:yag lasers. In dark skinned individuals, the energy level may need to be reduced to ensure safety, which may result in more treatments with the laser in order to obtain complete clearance of the hair. Tanned skin can be safely treated only with a long pulsed nd:yag laser.
-Light Sources
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Systems are not lasers. They can remove hair, but recent peer reviewed medical studies show that most lasers are much more effective in treating unwanted hair than IPL systems
Choosing a Laser Hair Removal Center
Board Certified Physician
Many laser hair removal centers today operate without a physician. It is important to be certain that a board certified physician is on the premises or available in case of a concern. To determine whether or not a physician is board certified, go to www.abms.org. Board certified plastic surgeons can be found at www.plasticsurgery.org
Possible complications:
Complications with newer laser hair removal systems (built in 2002 or later) is not common, particularly if the laser is equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device. It is important, however to determine how the laser clinic handles potential complications. Is there a physician available to examine the problem and prescribe medications if necessary?
Packages of treatments
Laser Hair Removal works on hair while it is in the growth phase only. At any given time, between 20% to 40% of the hair on any face or body area may be in a growth phase. Multiple treatments are required for complete clearance of the hair. However, each person may respond slightly differently. Laser hair removal centers should charge for just one treatment at a time. A reputable medical office or medical spa offering laser hair removal will offer individual treatments and not insist on payment of multiple treatments up front.
Pricing:
Because lasers for hair removal are much faster today than ever before, prices should be lower as well. An office offering laser hair removal can charge less for a laser hair removal treatment of the legs taking just 20 minutes vs. a 2 hour treatment with an older generation laser. Avoid centers offering specials on treatment packages, particularly if there is pressure to buy because a "special" is set to expire.
Consultation:
A complimentary consultation should be available for you to visit the facility, meet the laser technician and experience a spot test with the laser.
Knowledge of staff:
Staff members at a laser hair removal center should be able to answer questions not just about the laser they use, but about all lasers available for hair removal.
Testimonials:
An experienced laser hair removal facility should have many satisfied clients who are happy to speak to you about their results.
Preparing for Laser Hair Removal
In order for the laser to effectively target the hair follicle, the root of the hair must be in tact, which means hair removal in the weeks prior to laser treatment needs to be limited to cutting or shaving. Tweezing, waxing or other methods of hair elimination by removing the root of the hair will result in a less effective treatment. The hair does not need a 'grow out' phase however, and the hair area to be treated can be clean shaven prior to treatment.
Tanning
Tanned skin can safely be treated ONLY with a long pulsed nd:yag laser, any other laser could cause a burn to the surface of the skin. For treatment with all other lasers, keep the area to be lasered out of the sun for a minimum of two weeks before and two weeks after treatment. Spray tan or bronzers should be avoided prior to treatment as the dark color on the surface of the skin may prevent a laser hair removal treatment from being as effective as possible.
Repeat treatments
Every persons hair grows at a slightly different rate. If multiple treatments are desired, simply wait until you see new hair growth, typically 4 to 6 weeks, then schedule your next appointment.

Hair Loss Treatments and Information For Both Men and Women
Many men and women have hair loss problems such as male pattern baldness or thinning of hair, but there are many different treatments you can do to help the problem. 95% of men have some degree of hair loss by age 35 to 40 American men have some degree of hair loss, and by age 50 approximately 85% of men having thinning hair. This problem happens less and women but the problem still does exist.
Most of the time when women have hair loss problems is because of diets, stress, hormones, or medications, as well as other things such as frequent shampooing thyroid problems improper hair care, lupus or even dying of hair follicles. Men usually have hair loss because of genetic reasons, sadly.
Both men and women can use drugs such as Propecia, Rogain or Lasercomb to aid in the problem of hair loss. If treatment is not available for your type of hair loss or the treatment wont work for you (in most all cases it does) you can also try things like wigs, hair pieces, hair weaves or artificial hair replacement.
You can also try other things if you want to take the healthier route and not take medications, pills, or drugs. Thigns such as homepthatic cures, herbal remedies etc. You can check out several sites about this kind of information by visiting the sites listed below, you can also buy products from these sites as well so be on the look out for products on the site and with in the forums and or articles on the sites:
HerbalRemedies - This site, in my opinion is one of the best herbal sites online. They have several difference supplements that you can use for several different treatments and ailments.
Herbal-Supplements-Guide - This is a great site to visit if you're looking for a guide and herbal supplements for hair loss as well as other things.
Healthology And WebMD - Both of these sites are terrific sites to visit if you would like more information on treatments, tests, symptoms, as well as cures for hair loss.
Whether you decide to take it the medicinal way or the herbal, the point is that hair loss is reversible and it can be helped. This isn't something you absolutely have to live with and there are several different routes you can take depending on your personal preferences. You can also check out official websites so that you can read up on hair loss as well as treatments and other informational help. Please visit MayoClinic, AAD, and Medline Plus.

Hair Loss - Path to Hair Restoration
The Path To Hair Restoration
by Jerry Blackburn
Normal hair loss is a common occurrence. At any given time,
approximately 10% of your hair is dormant and susceptible to
normal shedding. The problem is when the shedding is excessive.
It is when thinning hair becomes obvious that most people become
concerned with hair restoration options.
Some of the reasons of abnormal hair loss may include:
+ Health concerns such as major illness, fungal infections,
hypo or hyper thyroidism, and hormone imbalances;
+ Reaction to medications used to treat cancer, diabetes,
lupus, gout, birth control, and anti-depressants;
+ Improper hair care, including excessive use of chemicals and
blow-drying;
+ Genetics;
+ Poor diet, including too much fried and fatty foods, a lack
of fruits or green vegetables, and dehydration.
What are the options?
While an estimated 95% of all excessive hair loss is generic,
there is a chance a family doctor or a professional hairstylist
can provide the quickest and least expense answer to hair
restoration. A medical doctor can do a full physical, do the
appropriate blood work, and review medications and diet. He can
recommend changes that may help with hair regrowth. The
hairstylist can look at the condition of the hair and work up a
hair care routine that may correct the damage. This routine may
include hot oil treatments, scalp massage, and a change of
conditioner and shampoo. The stylist may also recommend a
haircut to reduce the appearance of thinning hair.
In the event the doctor or hairstylist is unable to assist in
reducing the hair loss back to normal levels, topical
minoxidil, marketed as Rogaine, was the first FDA approved
method of regrowing hair. To be effective, minoxidil is applied
to the scalp twice a day. It works best for those who are young
and have only recently begun to experience abnormal hair loss,
according to Pharmacia & Upjohn. Skeptics question whether the
product actually promotes as much new growth as it does reduce
the amount of loss.
Also available to sufferers of hair loss is the FDA-approved
finasteride, which is marketed as Propecia. Propecia works best
on male pattern baldness. Not only has it been proven to restore
hair growth, it also improves the thickness and strength of each
hair strand.
Often, Propecia, Rogaine, or a combination of both is used in
conjunction with hair transplants to optimize the hair
restoration process. The process of hair transplants involves
removing hair from the densely covered areas of the head and,
using a needle, implant those hairs to the thinning section of
the head.
Those suffering from male-pattern baldness may also choose a
scalp reduction. A scalp reduction is the surgical process of
removing large sections of the bald scalp, then the skin from
the densely haired sections of the head are stretched to
replace the area of scalp that is removed.
If medications and surgery seem too extreme, those suffering
from abnormal hair loss still have the option of wearing a
hairpiece. While no two toupees, or hairpieces, are created
equally, a toupee can look natural. Many who opt for the
hairpiece option join a "hair club," which offer members
service that will keep their hairpieces cleaned, colored, and
offering the optimal fit.
Remember, all medications and surgical procedures involve a
certain amount of risk, and no hair restoration solution is
guaranteed to work. Before agreeing to a hair restoration
regime, consult with a doctor and know your risks.
Making the right hair restoration decision
Deciding whether hair restoration is right for you is a
personal decision. Some people are more concerned than others
with hair loss. Deciding which hair restoration method will
work best for you is something to discuss with a doctor who
specializes in treating hair loss. Many issues such as health,
habits, budget, and tolerance to pain will need to be
considered before creating a plan of action.

Normal hair loss is a common occurrence. At any given time,
approximately 10% of your hair is dormant and susceptible to
normal shedding. The problem is when the shedding is excessive.
It is when thinning hair becomes obvious that most people become
concerned with hair restoration options.
Some of the reasons of abnormal hair loss may include:
+ Health concerns such as major illness, fungal infections,
hypo or hyper thyroidism, and hormone imbalances;
+ Reaction to medications used to treat cancer, diabetes,
lupus, gout, birth control, and anti-depressants;
+ Improper hair care, including excessive use of chemicals and
blow-drying;
+ Genetics;
+ Poor diet, including too much fried and fatty foods, a lack
of fruits or green vegetables, and dehydration.

Hair Loss - Natural Hair Loss Remedies
Do Natural Hair Loss Remedies Have Any Real Relevance?
by Richard Mitchell
The effectiveness of modern hair loss treatments is clear for all to see, but many people simply prefer not to use strong chemicals or non-natural substances.
If you fall into this category, does this mean you'll just have to accept an ever-decreasing head of hair? The answer to this is an unequivocal NO!
Many natural hair loss remedies, both traditional and contemporary, have shown their worth in reducing and reversing hair loss. They are also perceived as being free from side effects and even deliver additional health benefits.
Why then, don't we hear a lot more about these natural hair loss remedies? Simply because claims of cures cannot be made without FDA approval, and obtaining the FDA seal of approval involves lengthy and expensive scientific research that only major companies can afford. Even the biggest companies could not recoup the costs of such a process as no-one can control the rights to common natural substances such as basic foods and vitamins.
The big question however is, do natural hair loss remedies work? Firstly, hair growth at root level is a living part of the body that depends on sound nutrition, just like any other part of the body. The importance of vitamins, minerals and other nutritional elements in maintaining healthy hair cannot be disputed.
Secondly, the role of herbs and plants in treating numerous ailments is receiving increased recognition after years of neglect, and hair loss is no exception. Many herbal remedies for both internal and external use are offering new hope to people suffering from premature hair loss.
Thirdly, traditional hair loss remedies may still have something to offer. Ancient literature and folklore reveal that our ancestors went to great lengths to treat thinning hair. Some of the more acceptable traditional approaches are now being incorporated into many potential treatment regimes.
Other articles in this series tackle each of these areas in much more detail but you can find out more now by visiting the site listed below.

Hair Loss-Propecia-Finasteride
How Does Propecia (Finasteride) Help In The Treatment Of Hair Loss?
by: Richard Mitchell
Finasteride was initially marketed to treat prostate conditions under the name Proscar in 5mg pills. It was known to inhibit the formation of DHT, a major contributor to both prostate cancer and male pattern hair loss.
Subsequent research showed that a 1mg daily dose of the same drug was sufficient to control hair loss for 83% of men after two years of treatment. Since 1998 this version has been marketed under the brand name Propecia and it remains the only prescription drug approved by the FDA specifically to treat hair loss. This approval extends only to men's hair loss because of the dangers finasteride presents to unborn male fetuses. Women of child bearing age should therefore consult with their physician before considering the use of this drug.
The main purpose of Propecia is to halt hair loss and maintain what hair coverage is left. It is therefore popular with younger men who want to control hair loss at an early stage. Men of all ages use it in combination with minoxidil to achieve a hair loss strategy that both halts hair loss and encourages new growth.
Propecia works by interfering with the process of androgenetic hair loss which usually follows this process:
High levels of an enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase occur in cells of the hair follicle.
This enzyme converts testosterone into DHT.
DHT causes miniaturization of robust terminal hairs.
This results in fine, soft vellus hairs that provide limited scalp coverage.
The growth phase gradually shortens until these hairs are lost permanently.
Propecia inhibits the formation of DHT and over a period of several months reduces levels of DHT sufficiently to minimize its effects on the hair follicle.
As with any drug, finasteride can cause side effects to a minority of users. The FDA trials reported a 2% incidence of varying side effects but these tended to lessen as the body adjusted to the drug over a period of months. Although Propecia or cheaper generic versions are easily obtained on the internet it is strongly recommended that you seek the advice of your doctor, at least in the first instance.

Hair Loss - Do you need hair transplant surgery
Hair Transplant Surgery – Do You Need It, Do You Want It?
By Peter Crump
Hair transplant surgery is very common these days. As hair loss is such a big problem for so many people, and as hair transplant surgery becomes more and more effective, it is more in demand.
However hair transplant surgery is usually the last in the list of things that you need to consider if you are suffering from hair loss.
For those who are suffering from some degree of hair loss there are some steps you need to take before you consider hair transplant surgery. Hair loss is not necessarily permanent, and the very first thing that you need to do is to consult your doctor and find out a specific cause.
Hair loss can be temporary. For example there are various medical conditions and medical treatments which can cause hair loss and once these conditions have been treated or the treatments stopped the hair recovers. No need for hair transplant surgery there.
And where you have a diagnosed hair loss condition that may well be permanent, such as male pattern baldness, or permanent hereditary hair loss, there can still be some other options to consider.
The first option is to do nothing. Don’t laugh. Hair replacement treatments, and particularly hair transplant surgery, can be exceedingly expensive. They can have some side effects and can be unpleasant. Sometimes they don’t work, or are unsuitable for your particular condition. Doing nothing about it is a very viable option and one that any proficient professional should counsel you about.
Baldness is becoming fashionable. Perhaps it started with Yul Brinner, who knows, but there are some who deliberately shave their heads as a fashion statement. You don’t need to go that far, although you could also consider that, but you certainly could consider living with it.
Work out how much effort and money you are prepared to expend on doing something about it. Hair transplant surgery is very expensive and hair loss is not really considered a disease so government or private medical funds may not cover the cost. Check that out.
Next find out about the pharmaceutical hair replacement products. There are several which do work, although not for everybody. Check them out. Find out more. They also have their drawbacks, but you should educate yourself about all options.
But for many this process still leads them to hair transplant surgery. There is no doubt that if you have hair transplant surgery done by a reputable hair transplant centre it can be very effective.
There are positives and negatives to hair transplant surgery. As previously stated, it can be expensive. It is a long process, over many months, requiring repeated visits, and it is surgery, with the normal, though low, risks attached to any surgery. And it doesn’t suit everybody, depending on the nature of your problem.
On the other hand hair transplant surgery, once it is over, is very effective in most cases. You end up growing your own hair and the result is permanent. The final effect, which takes around 12 months, can be extremely effective.
There are various types of hair transplant surgery available at various hair transplant centres. If you have spent some time thinking about your options and have finally come to the conclusion that hair transplant surgery is for you then take the next step.
Visit a reputable hair transplant centre or find one on the internet and find out more about hair transplant surgery. The results can be life transforming.

Hair loss - Hair Transplant Consultation
Counseling at a Hair Transplant Centre, is It All that Essential?
Men and women visiting a hair restoration centre or clinic have many different motives for desiring hair restoration. Whatever the motive, the decision to undertake hair restoration surgery should be an educated one before any desperate patient becomes an easy game for the unscrupulous hair transplant surgeon paying on fears and panic of his patients for immediate financial gain.
A patient's education and counseling in a hair restoration clinic or center helps him or her to be the realistic about the outcomes of hair transplant surgery and cooperate with the hair restoration surgeon for designing the hair line or deciding the future course of the surgeries.
Along with the patient's education, his or her psychology is also an important aspect of hair restoration surgery. A patient should never expect miracles from the hair restoration surgery but only that which is actually possible as briefed by the hair restoration surgeon.
Any article on counseling would not be complete without a discussion of the factors that lead to a patient's dissatisfaction with the outcome of hair transplant surgery. The dissatisfaction rate among the patients undergoing surgical hair restoration is approximately 2%, even in the best hair restoration clinics.
With the slick, overstated advertising of modern hair restoration techniques and the high surgical fee charged by hair restoration surgeons t is very natural for the patient to expect too much from a hair transplant surgeon. Encouraged by aggressive litigation lawyers, the patients can even go to the extent of suing the hair transplant surgeon.
Though most patient do not go to the extent of suing, more often they grumble about the postoperative pain, lack of graft hair density and threaten the hair transplant surgeon.
A pre-operative counseling session at the hair restoration clinic definitely helps in reducing the disappointment rate with their hair restoration surgery. The prospective hair restoration patient needs to understand the difference between the results that can realistically be produced and the results they wish for.
No matter how careful and ethical the operating hair restoration surgeon is, there is a small group of patients who are very difficult to satisfy. Although no patient can ever be completely happy even with best of results, some patients due to their subverted psychology are much more difficult to please!
Experience has shown that young men aged 18–28 years have a higher dissatisfaction rate than men in older age groups. Their emotional immaturity plays a major role in this regard. Such men may have psychiatric problems, but a good hair restoration surgeon understands and never deprives these patients of the undoubted benefits of hair restoration surgery by a blunt denial. Instead they will do all sort of cajoling to agree them and be realistic about the outcomes.
Perhaps the greatest challenges sometimes do not lie in the actual hair transplantation procedures, but in the counseling process itself. And getting the patient, especially the young patient (at high risk of developing more advanced baldness in the future) willingly agreeing to undergo a conservative hair restoration is like wining half the battle! If a young bald person insists upon a hairline like other peers of his age, he is perhaps demanding something unnatural without any consideration for his future hair loss. And in such cases it all depends upon the counselor to convince the young person to understand that though some hair restoration possible it cannot give him the exact look he expects from the surgery.
Similarly, the counseling session with the patient for designing of his or her hair line also helps the hair transplant surgeon. Considerations of the individual patient's facial structure, expectations, and hair quality are a must. But, though the quantity and quality of hair varies, the concepts of hair transplant surgery remain the same for every hair transplant surgery performed. By creative planning, judicious use of available donor hair and aesthetic and strategic placing of hair follicle grafts, a hair transplant surgeon can do much for the patient's expectations!
If you have already made a decision to undergo a hair transplant surgery, find time to read through the web pages of hairtransplantadvice.com to make a well informed decision.

Hair Loss - Castrated men don't go bald
Hair Loss Prevention- Why Do Castrated Men Never Go Bald?
Note-This content only presents overviews of hair loss prevention research for educational purposes and does not replace medical advice from a professional physician.
The best start to preventing hair loss is understanding the basics of hair: what it is, how it grows, what system malfunctions can cause it to stop growing.
Most common hair loss comes under what has been commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). Although referred to as MPB, females suffer a similar syndrome, so it is more properly called androgenetic alopecia. Although hair loss is not life or health threatening, it can cause serious problems with a person's psyche and self-confidence. There has been no absolute cure found for hair loss, and many factors of hair loss are hereditary, however there are several preventative measures one can take to maintain healthy hair and scalp.
Although both men and women can suffer significant hair loss, over 50% of men will suffer with Male Pattern Baldness (MPB), also known as androgenetic alopecia, at some point in their lives. The reason behind hair loss is a genetically inherited sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 5-alpha-reductase. The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone, a male hormone, to DHT, the substance identified as the end-cause for hair loss.
Hair loss has been noticed and studied throughout the ages, and some interesting discoveries were made in ancient times. For one it was noticed that eunuchs: those males without genitals-never went bald. Men who were castrated as a result of accidents in battle also never went bald. This was the first indication that testosterone had something to do with hair loss. It has also been found that the more recessive the hair gene, the more propensity toward baldness one has.
Some common myths have arisen concerning hair loss. Because of medical advancements many of these myths are being addressed and corrected. For starters, although androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness is genetic and therefore can be hereditary, it is not passed down through only your mother's side of the family. Either side of the family can pass down the genetic disposition toward baldness. Also, contrary to old family tales, wearing hats does not cause baldness either.
Beyond the genetic propensity of certain people toward hair loss, there seems to be various dietary triggers that activate the process, a notion that is promising since this can be controlled.
The effects of high-fat diets and the increase of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a chemical produced by the body found to cause hair loss, is not conclusive at this time. However, there does seem to be a connection; as societies that consumed relatively low-fat diets such as pre-World War II Japan experienced almost no pattern baldness, whereas in post-World War II Japan there is an increase in pattern baldness as their society consumes a higher fat diet. In fact, Asian and African men in their native countries traditionally suffer very little Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). Although when the same peoples come to North America, they begin to develop MPB.
Because people of all races and ethnicities tend to develop MPB or androgenetic alopecia, yet do not exhibit these tendencies before moving to America, changes in diet may be a leading contributing factor. Diets high in fat do increase testosterone, which is the main component in DHT. More research needs to be done on this topic to reach conclusive evidence, although it certainly could not hurt to lower one’s fat intake.
There are a number of foods and substances to avoid and limit the intake of. Substances such as alcohol, caffeine, sugar and nicotine can deplete the body of nutrients and raise adrenal levels, which will cause a chain reaction of producing more androgen and causing hair loss. High levels of saturated fat and cholesterol rich foods are also linked to increased DHT levels and their consumption should be limited. Additionally, common table salt has been linked to hair loss. And the average diet provides the recommended amount of sodium intake; therefore, salt should never be added to food. However, when using salt for seasoning during cooking, be sure to use salt with Iodine being that it is a nutrient that is vital to hair growth as well, unless you are a regular consumer of seafood, which contains high levels of Iodine.
Although hair loss can be caused by many other variables, lack of proper nutrition will assuredly cause hair loss in many people. Fortunately, adopting a proper diet that includes the proper nutrients can reverse hair loss caused by malnutrition. One thing for certain, regardless of whether your hair loss was caused by malnutrition or not, adopting a healthier diet will help the function of other areas of the body.
There are some methods that have been used that prevent hair loss on some people, in addition to the dietary improvements, there are some naturopathic remedy suggestions. Massage and aromatherapy have been used with some success. In minor cases of temporary hair loss, hair growth can be stimulated by massage, since blood and oxygen flow to the scalp must be healthy in order for hair to grow. A blend of six drops each of lavender and bay essential oils in a base of four ounces of either almond, soybean or sesame oil massaged into the scalp and allowed to sit for 20 minutes has been used by aroma therapists to stimulate the scalp. Once the mixture is in the scalp for 20 minutes, wash your hair and scalp with your normal shampoo mixed with three drops of bay essential oil. Massaging the scalp in general for a couple of minutes a day can stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles and in mild cases stimulate some hair growth. Of course, one must be careful to be gentle when massaging and not tug at the hair or use the fingernails when massaging the scalp. If one is concerned about fingernails getting in the way due to extra long fingernails, there are several options. One is a flat-handed massage, which while not as effective as the finger massage can provide some circulatory benefits and results.
There are several electric massagers on the market that have an attachment for scalp massaging as well. An oriental method called Qi Gong (pronounced Chi Kung) has been used to increase circulation to the scalp and face also. The fingers should be placed at the center of the skull base and then begin to tap approximately 30 times. Work your way outward toward the ears continuing to tap gently. After reaching the ears go back to the center of the skull a little higher up and work your way around to the ear region. Keep going up about eight levels, each time repeating the process.
There is a definite connection between the prostate and hair loss for men, and therefore a connection between breakthroughs in BPH treatments developed and their effectiveness in restoring hair growth. There have been some herbalists that have experimented with the herb Saw Palmetto in order to block the production of DHT in treating BPH. Although most studies of Saw Palmetto have been for the treatment of prostatic disease, more recent studies have been conducted on its effectiveness in treating loss. The herb has been found to work in fighting benign prostatic disease by lowering levels of DHT, which is a known cause of androgenetic alopecia. Studies have shown Saw Palmetto extract is an effective anti-androgen and therefore there is promise for its effectiveness as an effective treatment for hair loss prevention.
Rosemary and sage are two herbs that have shown benefit traditionally when used externally. It is suggested that to promote a clean scalp, stimulation of the hair root, and thickening hair one should boil together in water rosemary, sage, peach leaf, nettle and burdock. Then strain the loose herbs from the liquid and use the liquid to wash the hair daily. Also recommended is steeping one ounce of ground rosemary, two ounces of ground sage, and a half ounce of ground nettles in one pint of ethyl alcohol for a week, straining the solution and adding one ounce of castor oil and one ounce of water to the liquid. This is said to make a great hair lotion to apply at night before bed or just before shampooing.
Hair is a living protein, and as with any living part of our bodies we must be sure to maintain proper health to optimize our chances of maintaining a healthy head of hair. Proper nutrition is vital to maintaining healthy hair, since the hair is a living and growing part of the body's system. Viewing it in this manner can help us to treat our bodies different and raise expectations through proper care. A healthy balanced diet, occasionally with the help of vitamin and mineral supplements and exercise are all key components to a healthy regimen of maintaining healthy hair.
There is an obvious link to hair loss and prostatic health and this only increases the pace of hair loss discoveries. Most treatments for prostatic diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) also have the pleasant side affect of growing hair on the heads of those taking it. With the pace of research and discoveries today, there is a great deal of optimism in the field of hair loss prevention and treatment. Hair is an important part of our dress and appearance, therefore a large part of our self-esteem. It is likely that there are answers for your situation presently or coming in the near future.
Remember, the restoration of hair growth is not an overnight process. The process takes time regardless of the method chosen. Be patient and follow as much of the advice given by professionals as possible. Keep in mind that the body is a system, and it is the abuse of this system by food intake and environmental causes that lead to most common hair loss.

Note-This content only presents overviews of hair loss prevention research for educational purposes and does not replace medical advice from a professional physician.
The best start to preventing hair loss is understanding the basics of hair: what it is, how it grows, what system malfunctions can cause it to stop growing.
Most common hair loss comes under what has been commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). Although referred to as MPB, females suffer a similar syndrome, so it is more properly called androgenetic alopecia. Although hair loss is not life or health threatening, it can cause serious problems with a person's psyche and self-confidence. There has been no absolute cure found for hair loss, and many factors of hair loss are hereditary, however there are several preventative measures one can take to maintain healthy hair and scalp.
Although both men and women can suffer significant hair loss, over 50% of men will suffer with Male Pattern Baldness (MPB), also known as androgenetic alopecia, at some point in their lives. The reason behind hair loss is a genetically inherited sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 5-alpha-reductase. The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone, a male hormone, to DHT, the substance identified as the end-cause for hair loss.
Hair loss has been noticed and studied throughout the ages, and some interesting discoveries were made in ancient times. For one it was noticed that eunuchs: those males without genitals-never went bald. Men who were castrated as a result of accidents in battle also never went bald. This was the first indication that testosterone had something to do with hair loss. It has also been found that the more recessive the hair gene, the more propensity toward baldness one has.
Some common myths have arisen concerning hair loss. Because of medical advancements many of these myths are being addressed and corrected. For starters, although androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness is genetic and therefore can be hereditary, it is not passed down through only your mother's side of the family. Either side of the family can pass down the genetic disposition toward baldness. Also, contrary to old family tales, wearing hats does not cause baldness either.
Beyond the genetic propensity of certain people toward hair loss, there seems to be various dietary triggers that activate the process, a notion that is promising since this can be controlled.
The effects of high-fat diets and the increase of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a chemical produced by the body found to cause hair loss, is not conclusive at this time. However, there does seem to be a connection; as societies that consumed relatively low-fat diets such as pre-World War II Japan experienced almost no pattern baldness, whereas in post-World War II Japan there is an increase in pattern baldness as their society consumes a higher fat diet. In fact, Asian and African men in their native countries traditionally suffer very little Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). Although when the same peoples come to North America, they begin to develop MPB.
Because people of all races and ethnicities tend to develop MPB or androgenetic alopecia, yet do not exhibit these tendencies before moving to America, changes in diet may be a leading contributing factor. Diets high in fat do increase testosterone, which is the main component in DHT. More research needs to be done on this topic to reach conclusive evidence, although it certainly could not hurt to lower one’s fat intake.
There are a number of foods and substances to avoid and limit the intake of. Substances such as alcohol, caffeine, sugar and nicotine can deplete the body of nutrients and raise adrenal levels, which will cause a chain reaction of producing more androgen and causing hair loss. High levels of saturated fat and cholesterol rich foods are also linked to increased DHT levels and their consumption should be limited. Additionally, common table salt has been linked to hair loss. And the average diet provides the recommended amount of sodium intake; therefore, salt should never be added to food. However, when using salt for seasoning during cooking, be sure to use salt with Iodine being that it is a nutrient that is vital to hair growth as well, unless you are a regular consumer of seafood, which contains high levels of Iodine.
Although hair loss can be caused by many other variables, lack of proper nutrition will assuredly cause hair loss in many people. Fortunately, adopting a proper diet that includes the proper nutrients can reverse hair loss caused by malnutrition. One thing for certain, regardless of whether your hair loss was caused by malnutrition or not, adopting a healthier diet will help the function of other areas of the body.
There are some methods that have been used that prevent hair loss on some people, in addition to the dietary improvements, there are some naturopathic remedy suggestions. Massage and aromatherapy have been used with some success. In minor cases of temporary hair loss, hair growth can be stimulated by massage, since blood and oxygen flow to the scalp must be healthy in order for hair to grow. A blend of six drops each of lavender and bay essential oils in a base of four ounces of either almond, soybean or sesame oil massaged into the scalp and allowed to sit for 20 minutes has been used by aroma therapists to stimulate the scalp.

Hair Loss - hair products for balding hair
Hair Care Professionals Now Hold The Key To Naturally Reversing The Process Of Balding And Graying Hair
New Research Demonstrates Core Causes of Thinning and Graying, Hair. Hair Care Professionals Are The First Line Of Defense
Melancor (www.melancor.com) leading nutraceutical researcher and developer announced the release of new information for hair care professionals surrounding the cause and treatment of thinning and graying hair.
Hair typically turns gray as a result of the natural aging process. The pigment in the hair shaft comes from cells at the base (root) of the hair. These cells are genetically programmed to make a certain amount of pigment (Melanin) starting at a specific age. At some point in the aging process, these cells start to make less pigment until the hair has little pigment at all. A white hair has no pigment, and a gray hair has some pigment but not as much as red or brown hair.
"The first place people turn with graying or thinning hair is their hair care professional," said Dr. Eric Davenport of Melancor. "Before now the only real treatments available were dyeing or expensive pharmaceutical treatments, many not available to hair care professionals. Melancor has developed an all natural, cost effective oral treatment that works to revitalize these dead cells that compromise hair strands." Melancor's patent pending Melancor-NH proprietary blend uses a Melanin producing formula to generate Melanin throughout the body. Melancor-NH also stops male pattern baldness by blocking increased levels of DHT.
Studies indicate that a vast majority of cases of hair loss, male and female, is hereditary. The body naturally produces an enzyme called 5-Alpha-Reductase. When this enzyme reaches an imbalance, mixing with the Androgen hormone located in the scalp, it causes normal testosterone to transform into DHT. Researchers have found that certain combinations of minerals and herbal additives can attach to the 5-Alpha-Reductase in order to block the formation of DHT. Melancor-NH can halt the effects of DHT and even help the re-growth of hair follicles people had already lost.
"Melancor-NH is the first proprietary all natural oral treatment designed to help men and women overcome genetic and natural aging links to gray hair and baldness," says Dr. Gregory Collaghan, Reseller for Melancor.
Melancor-HN is now being made available in large scale to hair care professionals nationwide through a special industry specific wholesale program. More details about the program can be found at www.melancor.com or by calling 1-888-769-4729.
ABOUT MELANCOR: More than 15 years ago, Melancor (www.melancor.com) was founded by doctors and nutritionists, providing quality hair and skin products such as the proprietary Melancor-NH, in nearly 20 different countries. Melancor has provided research and service to help find a solution for people who are looking for realistic solutions to their disposition to gray or balding hair.

Hair loss - prevent hair breakage
our Hair Deserves a Good Night Sleep
A SimpleCASE satin hair care pillowcase helps minimize hair breakage and moisture loss.
Springfield Gardens, NY May 10, 2004 -- Celebrating a successful year, Basix and Beyond announces the anniversary of the successful launching of its flagship product, a SimpleCASE. Since its debut at the Regional Black Expo held at New York Citys Jacob Javits Center in June 2003, the satin hair care pillowcase has remained a featured top seller to beauty salon and spa patrons interested in extending the life of their hairstyles.
A SimpleCASE aids in the revitalization of damaged hair and minimizes frictional Alopecia (al-lo-pee-shah) the abnormal loss of the hair root and hair shaft from the hair follicle.

Sharon Prendergast, Owner and Creative Director of The Basix and Beyond, has continued to educate consumers about the hair damage phenomena that can occur while you sleep. Ms. Prendergast states, In order for hair to be its healthiest, certain elements must be present. Two of those elements are air and moisture.
While sleeping on a satin pillowcase is not a new concept, the potential benefits of sleeping on a SimpleCASE are the retention of the natural oils of the hair and an increase in the hairs ability to breathe. Salon professionals recommend clients wrap their hair at night with a silk or satin scarf. The use of a SimpleCASE is an additional carefree step in effective daily hair maintenance.
The 20-inch by 30-inch satin pillowcase is made of 100% Venus polyester satin. The best woven hair care product available worldwide comes in white with a distinctive three quarter inch tailored band.
