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.

The way you style your hair can be an indicator of your race or origin or be an extension of your personality. Having full and healthy hair is a great concern to many because of this.

The loss of hair in the heard and other parts of the body is known as Alopecia. This condition is attributed to poor health and genetic factors. It can even be caused or made worse because of the drugs one consumes or a lack of certain nutrients in the body. Unwelcome regardless of when in life it occurs, we look for solutions to stop hair fall or prevent it from happening at all. Males and females, old and young alike suffer from this condition, but it is more common in males and people with age. No matter who and when it occurs to, it is unwelcome to almost all who suffer from it. As most of us want to uphold a certain image, we seek quick remedies for the problem.

A popular hair regenerating product is Provillus. It is a natural product that is considered safe for all types of scalp and hair loss problems. Provillus reviews are generally good, many people attest to its effectiveness. Although the product does indicate that its results may vary from one person to another, specifically the duration involved for you to witness the products results. You will be happy to note though that Provillus comes with a two-month warranty in case you find no satisfying results. Most Provillus reviews discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of using the product. It is FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and can be bought without prescription. They have products for both men and women. The general effectiveness of the product lies within its ability to provide minerals and vitamins to the hair.

Hairisol is another of the FDA approved hair loss solutions available without a prescription. This treatment is also made of completely natural products.

This is a competing product but it has not yet shown that it is a good rival to Provillus.

Hair loss solutions are available in the market. Products may differ in content but most of them offer the same promise of hair regeneration. Thus, hair regrowth is attainable. It is just a matter of finding the right solutions for your personal needs.

An Insightful Discussion About Neck Pain

By Bill Shine

There are many people that deal with neck pain, if not once, then many times in their life. The pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Anything from sleeping in the wrong position which can cramp the neck muscles, to a serious car accident can trigger the constant pain in the neck and upper back, sometimes including the shoulders.

Be sure to discuss the painful condition to your doctor. Neck and jaw pain can often mean there is a more serious condition that needs to be diagnosed. For example, jaw and neck pressure and pain can often mean heart problems in some women. These pains are not necessary a sure sign of heart problems, but it is a significant sign that should be reported to a doctor immediately.

One of the most devastating injuries that often happen to the neck and the spine is during a vehicle accident. The sudden jolt and stopping of the neck and body muscles often result in a condition known as whip lash. This type of injury is very painful and may take many weeks, sometimes with therapy, to recover from.

Some accidents are even more tragic that others, causing severe injuries to the spinal column and often breaking bones in the neck. This requires even more time to recover from, if recovery is even possible. Many patients that have sustained such devastating injuries can be fully aware of what is going on around them, but unable to speak or move because of the severity of the injuries.

Arthritis causes the bones in the neck to rub against one another when the person moves their head. This is one of the most common causes of neck and other joint pains. The joints that are used the most, such as hands, neck and knees are an easy target for arthritis. For relief of pain, it is necessary to talk to a doctor.

Stress is often the main reason many people have pains in the neck and lower head area. Stress causes the muscles to tense, often causing pain in the neck that eventually causes a headache in most patients. A prescription can be written by your doctor for a medication that combines acetaminophen and a mild muscle relaxer to help with medical situations such as that.

To find more on how to find out the sources of neck pain and how to treat them, consult your doctor. For more information that can be found for yourself, do a little research on the internet.

Chemotherapy And Hair Loss - LR

By Lee Reid

One of the most frequent side effect of cancer treatments is chemotherapy hair loss. What is the reason why hair loss occurs during chemotherapy? The medication used in chemotherapy is extremely powerful and it destroys all the developing cancer cells, although they affect other body parts too. These medicines also attack other cells in the body that have a rapid growth; among these, the cells in the hair roots, as well.

The effects of chemotherapy on hair are not limited only to the scalp as the procedure affects the hair on the body, too. Thus, patients will experience the loss of eyebrows, eyelashes, pubic and armpit hair.

The variety of the drugs used in chemotherapy is incredibly high with hundreds of medicines available. Some of these will trigger chemotherapy hair loss more quickly than others, but some may not even cause such a side effect. The difference in chemotherapy drug doses is another aspect to consider when hair loss is under discussion, as hair loss ranges from thinning to complete baldness. Thus, make sure to discuss all such details with your doctor, in order to be prepared to cope with hair loss psychologically.

Hair usually starts falling out after 10-14 days from the beginning of the treatment. It may happen quite fast, gradually or in clumps. Chemotherapy hair loss remains a problem throughout the entire period of the treatment and a month afterwards. Half of the hair can fall out before this is noticed by people around. Fortunately, in the majority of cases, chemotherapy hair loss represents a temporary effect. Hair will probably grow back within six months to one year from the end of the procedure. Although the regrowth of the hair occurs in most of the cases, the new hair could be of a different texture and shade temporarily.

It usually takes about four to six weeks for the hair to recover from chemotherapy, and the growth rate will be somewhere around a quarter inch per month. When the hair starts growing back again, it might be a little different from the hair that was lost because of therapy. The changes will be a first recovery sign and the hair will recover the look previous to the treatment the moment cellular pigmentation is functioning normally all over again. Unfortunately, one cannot prevent chemotherapy hair loss as there is no treatment which will guarantee that the hair will not fall out.
