Each hair on the scalp grows less than half an inch per month. About 90 percent of the hair on the scalp is growing at any one time while about 10 percent of the hair is in a resting phase; after two to three months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place. One large study that was done in Australia showed that the prevalence of mid-frontal hair loss increases as people age and affects 57% of women and 73.5% of men aged 80 years and over.

Hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. In the past it was believed that baldness was inherited from a person’s maternal grandfather; while there’s some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring’s likelihood of hair loss. Hypothyroidism can cause hair loss, especially thinning of the outer third of the eyebrows.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder also known as “spot baldness” that can result in hair loss ranging from just one area to every hair on the entire body. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it’s important to find the cause so that it can be treated properly and fast. Poor digestion, parasites and nutrient deficiencies such as iron or biotin deficiency shouldn’t be overlooked as possible causes.

Correcting a hormone imbalance may prevent further hair loss. Some drugs or medications can cause hair loss, which improves when you stop taking the medicine; medications that can cause hair loss include blood thinners, medicines used for gout, chemotherapy drugs used for cancer, too much vitamin A supplementation, birth control pills and antidepressants. One type of baldness is called traction alopecia, which is most commonly found in people with ponytails or cornrows who pull on their hair with excessive force.  Read more...

Galvanic Spa – The biggest beauty secret in history

Just imagine if there really were anti aging natural skin care products that actually delivered what they promised. Well, you don’t have to imagine. The good news is these products do exist. And if you’re willing to learn a few important facts and apply these facts to some old fashioned “shopping” you can end up with the best anti aging skin care that will really help you turn back the clock on your appearance.

You probably know from personal experience that most products that are promoted as anti aging natural skin care don’t work…at least not in any long term, truly skin-improving way.

Because they’re made up of synthetic chemicals, you get a product that acts as a temporary filler of lines and wrinkles.

Companies use low quality ingredients, such as mineral oil, dioxane, parabens, alcohol and fragrances because they are inexpensive way to create a product that looks good, feels good and smells good. But don’t be fooled. They are not good for your skin.

What is good for your skin, however, are anti aging natural skin care products which stimulate your skin’s own natural ability to maintain its youthful firmness and elasticity. The best anti aging skin care promotes new collagen and elastin production in your skin.

Finding these effective anti aging natural skin care products is easy. It’s just a matter of reading the ingredients on the label.

You want to look for natural oils, vegetable-based waxes and silicones, reparative proteins, vitamins, antioxidants and plant extracts. The best anti aging skin care is also fragrance-free.

I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot better about putting natural ingredients on my face that I wouldn’t be afraid to eat. I know that sounds strange, but since your skin absorbs what you put on it, some of the active ingredients make it into your blood stream. So it’s just as if you’ve eaten it.  Read more...

The misery caused by female hair loss is of a much greater magnitude than that occasioned by its male counterpart. There’s something about female hair that is tied in with a very old social view of how women “should” look – which means that women who suffer a loss of hair often feel that they have lost their femininity.

The most common type of female baldness, Androgenetic alopecia, is the exact same sort of hair loss experienced by most balding males. Androgenetic alopecia happens when the scalp or hair follicles display an inherited reaction to the presence of androgens (male hormones) in the glandular secretions on the head, or the skin of the scalp. That’s why female hair loss is less common than its male equivalent: women have androgens as well as men, but obviously men, being male, have more.

When a man loses hair through this inherited “allergy”, he tends to do so in a uniform pattern, with hair receding from the forehead to the top of the scalp. Unfortunately, women suffering from the same condition lose hair all over the head – i.e., they go bald, rather than displaying a receding hair line.

Traditionally, treatments that deal with loss of hair in women have been lengthy, often extremely painful, and at best only slightly successful. Normal hair replacement treatments have until recently centred on the practice of removing whole strips of skin and hair from a non-balding area, which are then grafted onto the target site. Female hair loss sufferers undergoing this kind of treatment often experience weeks of post-operation swelling, evidence a high risk of infection, and in many cases find that the transplanted hair falls out once the swelling has gone down. Even successful transplants like this don’t really work – the transplanted hair, if it seeds, tends to grow in a direction similar to the one it grew in before it was moved. That can make a woman who has had old style hair transplants look as though she is wearing a pretty poor wig.  Read more...
