Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Problems with Hair Transplant?

By Jessica Biel

If you had a hair transfer procedure within the last few decades, it is possible you aren't at all pleased with the result, as you may have experienced the type of transplant normally called hair plugs. This type of procedure can cause your hair rise like the quills on a hedgehog. Modern techniques are more likely to result in a more natural looking head of hair.

There are certain hair transplant surgeons who specialise in hair transfer repair surgeries, and these are the ones you'll have to find initial. You can look for ads in yellow pages or your own primary care doctor may know about a surgeon who is involved in this kind of work. Getting hold of professional organizations is also a good idea. when ever you find a good doctor or doctors for hair transplant than make it sure that they let you show some of there practical work because it will be not less of a hazard to see what they are going to do with a virgin scalp. Find out more about their experience with similar patients and, if you can't speak directly with the patients, at least request pictures of them so you can judge the results for yourself.

If you are not satisfied with your hair transplant consult with a operating surgeon about rectifying the problem. For example if you have large plugs, ask about getting rid of them. The surgeon might want to remove this, divide them into tiny sections, and put them back in but if you have smaller plugs, he might just put in new donor hair to reduce the results of a doll head visual aspect. If cost is an issue with you, discuss it with your surgeon as this is a very real problem for many who want to have bad hair grafts fixed.

It may be more expensive to do the correction than an original surgical procedure would cost and if you do not have the cash, your doctor can normally point you to several different financing methods. In this fashion, you don't need to have all the cost up front. Which means you have more healing to do than somebody who is having a routine hair transplant,discuss healing with your hair transplant operating surgeon because you may be having plugs taken out. Following hair transplant, the sites of plugs, insertion and donor sites need to be allowed to heal, which may take further down-time and particular post-operative care.

Investigate with your physician if they plan for you to have another surgical process since you might have to get the plugs taken out in one procedure and recuperate before you have the following procedure. Your doctor may not know the answer to this until after they see how your first surgical operation has gone but in any case, it is wise to go in believing that you probably will need more than one treatment. Unfortunatly there are those who are living with a bad hair transfer. Once you have done the procedure you will have to live with the results you come out with good or bad, so be wary of who you have do it. They find it difficult to believe that there is now a way to fix these problems. It is not only good news, it can give them a hope they never thought they would have.

Loss Of Hair - Slowing Down The Process

By Mike Jones

Losing hair is as anxiety ridden as finding out you have a terminal illness. The fear, the panic and the uncertainty seem to take over our lives. Baldness, or Male Pattern Baldness, has many different causes but only a few effective treatments. The newer ones, however, have seen some impressive results which can alleviate a lot of the ongoing anxiety.

Hair loss, or alopecia, is caused mainly by genetics. Over 90% of men who experience hair loss, or male pattern baldness, are being adversely affected by a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. There is no way to replace DHT, but certain medications are formulated to slow down the speed of its loss.

Other causes include medications having side effects including hair loss. Another is severe illness. Any time vitamins are depleted from the body, the body fights back by sending needed nutrients to vital organs, and our bodies don't believe feeding hair follicles is important. And of course, there's chemotherapy. Nothing affects hair follicles like high doses of poison.

Researchers have been working for years to perfect treatments and cures. Some work well, others work on certain individuals only, and still others are fairly successful but outrageously expensive.

Success comes in many forms: pills, surgery and ointments. There are some laser treatments that do produce pretty good results in many individuals. Of course, others will swear by something they bought from a roadside quack that might include cow dung, herbs, or some other disgusting mixture to either swallow or rub into your head.

Only a few decades ago, the only and best remedy was some pretty antiquated hair transplants. Success was not overwhelming. Infections and total failure were more common. These were expensive and painful to say the least. Very few patients enjoyed long term success. Some lost all their new hair and the money for the surgery. Procedures did improve along with associate pain and even costs. Long term success rates increased and severe infections that resulted in hair loss decreased drastically. However, these new surgical procedures are still surgery and they still come with risks that include everything from allergic reactions to the anesthesia, to tissue rejection.

Treating your hair loss will depend on how much hair you have lost and why. If your hair loss does not have an obvious cause (genetics, chemo, etc.), your doctor might run some tests to check for things like hormone imbalances. In many instances the underlying cause is treated, the condition is corrected, and your hair grows back on its own.

If there are no underlying causes to treat, then the loss of hair is treated separately. Your doctor can help you decide on an appropriate course of action. Usually a physician will start off with less risky procedures such as topical ointments and then graduate to more aggressive methods depending on your reaction to and results with a specific treatment.

If you are seriously considering a surgical option, you would be doing yourself a favor to get an independent evaluation first. Virtually no one is turned down if they show up at a clinic asking for a hair transplant. These are full service, self pay elective surgeries and when you walk through the door, you are revenue. Listen to your own doctor or at least find a dermatologist to get a thorough evaluation before making an expensive, painful, and irreversible mistake.

Why Not Stop Baldness Now? Discover How You Can Cease Baldness Now And Regrow You Hair!

By Julia Garsons

Losing your hair can be the start of serious self esteem problems.


But if I told you today there is a easy natural cure for hair loss, would you take the steps to correct your problem and get your self esteem and life back on track?

If you instantly thought, 'yes, of course', then today is your lucky day my friend.


Lets first start with the cause of hair loss, and what most treatments don't offer help with.

First up is DHT. DHT is well known now for causing hair loss as it accounts for 94% of hair loss sufferers. It is a byproduct of testosterone, which turns hair follicles dormant, thus leading to hair falling out.


They act by suffocating the follicle, thus forcing your hair to fall out. But unfortunately we all have DHT being produced by our bodies, and if you are reading this article, you probably have more than most.

Stress is another common contributor of hair loss.

Luckily I am not a big hair loss sufferer. But I do know how stress affects hair loss as I have suffered from a temporary form of it myself. It is critical to limit the amount of stress you have, and the only person who can look after this is you.

Unfortunately, it is not always that easy as stress can hit us at any time. Learning how to deal with it though can mean a world of difference.

By eliminating any stress, you allow yourself the best chance of full hair regrowth.

But Lucky for people today suffering this problem, is that there is now a guaranteed natural treatment to stop DHT production and promote hair growth.

Natural Treatments for hair loss contain and array of vitamins, minerals and extracts specifically formulated to stop DHT naturally, and also assist with other common medical conditions.


Now although there is no miracle cure that will offer overnight regrowth, natural treatments offer a substantial increase in hair regrowth...so sticking with the treatment is crucial.
