Improper Hair Extension Removal Escalates Hair Loss In Women

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

For many women with hair loss, hair extensions may cause more harm than good. Stylists may advise women with thinning hair and hair loss that extensions are the best solution for them. And why not? Besides being profitable for the stylist, extensions look great, giving you the volume, body and thicker hair that you want quickly – albeit expensively.

When considering extensions, it’s best to start with a long and trusting relationship with your stylist but before trying extensions, know your type of hair loss and discover what type of systems will look good and not harm it further. For example if you have rapid, temporary hair loss such as telogen effluvium or you fail the hair pull test, extensions will likely be a waste of time and money. If you suffer from genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) you may enjoy good results.

Educate yourself on the system being proposed, not only the method of attachment but especially the removal process and any other potential associated risks. Find out more about the dangers of removing extensions at http://www.bignews.biz/?id=806831#

Educate yourself and make the best choice for your hair loss!

The Impatience of Youth

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Recently a young woman, still in her teens, asked what she could do to stop losing her hair and re-grow it. She explained that she noticed thinning at her temples at the hairline mostly when she wore a pony tail. She didn’t have health insurance and couldn’t afford a doctor’s visit yet she was ready to start spending money on treatment!

I wondered to myself how she could justify trying to treat something she didn’t understand. Taking action is great but, consulting with experts, creating a plan and sticking with it is an even better solution. Ah, the impatience of youth!

I explained that the causes of hair loss for women are many and varied and that if her thinning hairline was simply the result of a regular, tightly pulled hairstyle (traction alopecia), then wearing her hair loose for a while could reverse the problem and allow a full, natural recovery.

I further explained that the abundance and quality of hair is an indicator of overall health and that only a doctor could truly determine the underlying reason for her specific situation, possible spotting something more serious. The cause could be relatively simple and resolvable over time, like diet, stress and medications but could also be more complex like heredity (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal fluctuation and disease or even some combination. Undiagnosed, her hair problem and potentially her health, could deteriorate further.

I asked her if she wouldn’t feel better knowing what the cause was and she agreed she couldn’t afford not to go.

Look Good, Feel Great!
