Things To Consider Before Having A Hair Transplant

Image
When you are experiencing balding or hair loss, a transplant is not the primary remedy that comes to mind. You would rather choose other things over a surgery. It is common to feel the way you do. But this, intertwined with hope, leads individuals to opt for a hair transplantation surgery as either the first or for many, even as the last resort to sport a head full of hair. Besides, it would cost a lot of money to get a procedure from a premiere hair transplant surgeon. Hair loss medications are prescribed for some kinds of reversible balding conditions. While the effectiveness of these medications is questionable for conditions such as alopecia areata, hair transplant procedures seem to offer a more promising solution to hair loss.

Genetic hair loss in females

Image
Also known as androgenic alopecia, female genetic hair loss is a pattern baldness that particularly affects women. While there is a lot of similarity between male pattern and female pattern baldness, the framework in women is slightly different. Especially as they age, hair loss in females is a common occurrence. About two-thirds of the female population will notice marked hair loss specifically after menopause and more than 50% of them will lose hair by the time they are 65 years of age. Research shows that pattern baldness in women is hereditary and in some cases, is a result of hormonal imbalances. Patterned baldness in women is usually diagnosed by a practicing professional dermatologist. Symptoms of female pattern baldness The first noticeable attribute in female genetic hair loss is the evident slowdown of the growing phase. New hair takes longer to grow because the hair follicles have actually shrunk and hair even as it grows tends t...

IMPORTANCE OF PH LEVELS IN SHAMPOO FOR HAIR

Image
As defined by chemistry, pH stands for potential Hydrogen levels. This is an extremely essential constituent of healthy hair. The element is responsible for the vibrant colour of your hair and its overall health and shine. You routinely use shampoos during hair wash. But you must also know that the pH levels in your shampoo determine the way the solution can affect your hair. While you do not need a chemistry degree to understand pH, you also must check the shampoo’s pack for the pH ingredient. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PH OF THE SCALP AND HAIR? Hair products that we use consistently, control the pH of hair. Chemically, a pH of 7 is considered as neutral. Hair care products that contain pH values falling between 3.5 and 5.5 are extremely beneficial. There are also certain variations applied to pH. The cuticle layer tightens and contracts when the value drops down below 6. Which means using a conditioner with a pH lower than 7, which is mildly acidic, can smoothen the surface and add sh...

Hair extensions can be a really tempting quick fix especially if you have thinning hair or a short haircut. There are many celebrities who often opt for hair extensions due to rapid change in hairstyles. This is because the technology has the ability to transform the thinnest looking hair into a bouncing lock of mane. It adds volume, length and comes in many colours and shapes. And of course, this is also a relatively fast way of resolving a hair thinning problem. But like any good-looking thing comes with its own liabilities, hair extensions are harmful to the remaining hair on your head. TECHNIQUES Different techniques are used to add hair extensions. There is the weft method where hair is added in groups and horizontally rendered. Then there is also the clip-on method where tiny clips are used to keep the hair in place. Where hair strands are added individually, small tufts of hair are gathered and attached section by section into the natural hair. All methods use some type ...
