Common Hair Loss Myths

in Men's Hair Replacement, Women's Hair Replacement/by Roger Parker

Hair loss. It’s an unfortunate thing to happen to the human body, and we can almost guarantee that no one is happy when they see their hair starting to thin or fall out completely. Here are some common hair loss facts that you may not have thought about up until recently. Some of them may surprise you!

Myth #1: Wearing Hats and Shampooing Too Much

womens hair loss replacement tupelo starkville oxford mississippi This statement is number one on our list because it’s something we hear all the time.

“If you habitually and constantly wear hats, you could end up going bald.”
“If you shampoo your hair too frequently and experience product buildup, it could choke off your hair roots and you could lose your hair.”
“If the pores of your scalp are clogged, your hair can’t grow and will die and will fall out.”

These are ALL hair loss myths. Let’s take a look at the facts. Have you ever experienced an in-grown hair or had a blocked pore? Your hair did grow back, didn’t it? Dermatologists will tell you that blocked pores simply don’t cause hair loss. If that were the case, there would be an enormous market for scalp cleansers and people would no longer be going bald.

Many people similarly think that by constantly wearing hats, that over time they are preventing air circulation through their hair and scalp which is preventing their hair from growing. While this may be true in your garden, it isn’t true when it comes to your hair. That’s because hair follicles get the oxygen they need from your bloodstream. That’s not to negate the fact that it’s always good to have a healthy scalp, but hair loss is due to reasons quite apart from air circulation around the hair follicles and scalp.

But what if you see hair falling out when you shampoo your hair? This is actually completely normal. The average person looses up to 150 hairs per day, every day. And of course we most typically see this in the shower or around the bathroom sink.

Myth #2: With Old Age Comes Hair Loss

This is another myth. Several people experience hair loss at several different times in their lives due to many different reasons (what’s considered old age, anyway?). Some as early as 20 and 30-year-olds can experience baldness. According to the American Hair Loss Association, men who are affected by the condition can start seeing early signs of hair loss in their 20s.

There are a lot of health-related reasons and different types of hair loss a person could experience, as well. For example, Alopecia Universalis, a disease in which all body hair falls out including eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic hair. There’s also Alopecia Areata that causes baldness in children and young teens. There are countless reasons a person could be losing hair but there always seems to be a stigma around old age. It’s something society is always running from and it doesn’t necessarily cause your hair to disappear!

Myth #3: Hair Loss Coming From Mother Or Father?

Can you guess what the number one cause is? It’s hereditary! It’s the most common cause of hair loss, in men and women, and is medically known as androgenetic alopecia.

Technically speaking, baldness isn’t quite caused by your genes. The hair that has fallen out has in fact been replaced by another hair, just a much thinner and finer piece of hair. This is caused by the effects of the hormone dihydrotestosterone, which is present in both men and women to varying degrees. The result is that as your hair gets thinner and thinner, suddenly you notice that you are losing your hair and starting to go bald.

But as Dr. Alan Bauman, a prominent Florida hair loss doctor said in the Huffington Post, you have to lose about 50 percent of your hair in order for thinning hair and balding to be apparent to the human eye. That is an enormous amount of hair to loose. So if you see only a few hair falling here and there, it’s probably nothing to worry about. Men and women typically loose about 100 hair per day, every day of their lives.

There’s also been quite a bit of lot of speculation as to whether you inherit baldness and thinning from one or the other of your parents side of the family. The answer is that both sides of your family heredity contribute to a person’s being susceptible to Androgenic Alopecia (hereditary pattern balding). Dermatologists specialising in hair loss have said:

“Heredity is the most common cause of hair loss,” she says. “The gene can be inherited from either the mother’s or father’s side of the family, though you’re more likely to be affected if both of your parents had hair loss.” – Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, WebMD.

Spring Hairstyle Trends: Tortoise Shell Hair

in Women's Hair Replacement/by Roger Parker

The spring season is a great time to freshen up your look — and one of the best ways to do so is with a new hair color. The ombré trend is on its way out; taking its place as the hottest color trend of the season is ecaille, or tortoiseshell. Celebs who are rocking the trend already include Jessica Alba, Lauren Conrad, and Gisele Bundchen.

What Is Tortoise Shell Hair?

The tortoiseshell hair trend was inspired by the pattern of the same name; it has mottled shades of brown and gold and is commonly used for eyeglass frames. Think soft hues of chocolate brown, caramel and golden honey woven together for a look that’s natural yet polished. Tortoiseshell refers more to the colors used than the placement — color can be started a few inches from the roots or farther down for a modern interpretation of the ombré trend.

How to Achieve Tortoiseshell Hair

Whether you’re working with a wig or your own hair, the tortoiseshell look can be achieved at the salon or — if you’re the DIY type — at home.

If you’re going to the salon:

Bring along photos that represent the look you want. It’s perfectly acceptable to save photos on your smartphone or tablet and show those to your stylist. Although your hair may not look exactly like the photo, it gives your hair professional a clear idea of how subtle or bold you want your color.

That’s one of the best things about this trend — it’s versatile. You can go heavier on dark tones with a few bronze or caramel strands woven through, or you can keep the color lighter by accenting medium and light shades of brown with dark chestnut strands. If you prefer a more natural look, ask your stylist to “melt” the colors together so that there’s little contrast between them. If bold is more your style, request light honey-gold tones to be placed next to darker tones so the colors stand out.

If you’re coloring your own hair:

Start with a permanent base color that’s either medium or dark brown, then choose two or three lighter shades in the same color family. Opt for warm or neutral tones rather than ash colors.

Apply your base color as directed by the package instructions. Once the dye has been washed out and your hair has been dried, you can move on to the next step, which is applying the ribbons of color.

When preparing your contrast colors, use bowls that are specially designed to hold hair dye (check your local beauty supply store) and apply the color with a balayage brush. Unlike the highlighting kits of the past, doing your own tortoiseshell color doesn’t require a cap and hook.

Simply choose the strands you want to color, then paint the dye onto each strand. Alternate color placement so that the finished product is multifaceted. For a gradual, effortless look, start the placement of the highlight colors at the midpoint of your hair. Placing light strands around the face creates a youthful look and brings attention to the eyes.

How to Care for Tortoise Shell Hair

Tortoiseshell hair color doesn’t require a lot of upkeep, which is one reason why it’s so popular for spring. Instead of touching up your roots once a month, it’s likely you can go several months before needing a color refresh. To keep your color vibrant, use a shampoo and conditioner formulated for color-treated hair, and don’t shampoo every day. After styling, mist hair with a hairspray or shine spray that has UV protection, which helps keep color from fading.

Don’t let hair loss keep you from achieving the look you want this spring season. Contact us today to learn about our hair replacement solutions. We also offer wigs to give you an effortless new style.

Best Hair Styles for Your Job Interview

in Women's Hair Replacement/by Roger Parker

Hair Styling Advice for That Important Job Interview

How you style your hair for a job interview can be just as important as the interview clothes you wear. After all, the interviewer is going to notice everything about you – including your interview attire, hairstyle and makeup. That first glance is important and you’ll only have a few seconds to make a great impression!

There are lots of ways to style your hair for a job interview. While some options are funky and others are more traditional, remember that your hairstyle should strike a balance between your wardrobe and your makeup.

For example, if your makeup is a little edgy, try a more toned-down hair style. Be mindful of your final look, which should be tasteful, professional and polished. After all, you want the focus to be on you, and not how you styled your hair that morning.

What is the Best Way to Style Your Hair for a Job Interview?

Here are some examples…

Is a pony tail formal enough for a job interview? It can be, if you choose a polished look. Opt for sleek styling, using an anti-frizz product or styling cream to tame fly aways. For an elegant touch, pull a piece of hair from the bottom of your pony tail and wrap it around to conceal your hair tie, securing it with a bobby pin.
If you want a professional, polished look that doesn’t seem too stuffy, try out a style with easy, breezy loose curls.
If you have short hair and want to dress it up a bit, consider natural waves. This will add some body and style to your hair, without looking too over-the-top or over-done.
During your interview, you certainly don’t want to be worrying about pushing your hair out of your face. A style with one side pulled back can be a happy medium between wearing your hair down and styling it in a full updo. Even better, this is an easy look to style: just twist or brain one side back, and secure it behind your ear with a bobby pin.
The high bun is the perfect choice to get your hair up and out of the way, without compromising style. First, sweep your hair high on your head, leaving one piece free, and twist into a bun. Then, secure with a hair tie. To conceal the elastic, wrap the free piece around it and pin the piece of hair underneath the bun with a bobby pin.

Holiday Hair Loss: How Seasonal Stress Impacts Your Tresses

in Women's Hair Replacement/by Roger Parker

Silver bells, turkey dinners, and…holiday hair loss? The holiday season is full of fun moments from family gatherings to office parties. However, the number of events, responsibilities, and added purchases mean the holidays can also be rife with stress—to the detriment of your hair.

How Stress and Hair Are Related

Hair goes through a simple cycle of growth, rest, and release. On a normal day, you can expect to lose up to around 100 strands of hair. Stress in the form of telogen effluvium, however, can force your hair to enter the resting phase prematurely. This premature life cycle means that more of your hair falls out at one time, resulting in above average hair loss. This usually doesn’t occur all at once, or even while you are experiencing stress. Your hair can be in the resting phase for up to three months, which means it could be that long before you notice any hair loss.

Avoiding Holiday Hair Loss This Season

While losing your hair isn’t what you normally equate with the holidays, the added stress of the season can play a role in unwanted hair loss. Instead of worrying about the impact this year will have on your lovely locks, use these simple tips to help keep your peace of mind—and hair—intact this holiday season and into the New Year.

Schedule Time for Yourself: Rather than adding one more party to your calendar, try scheduling some time for self-care. This looks different for everyone, so whether you relax by reading a book, binge-watching Hallmark movies, or conditioning your hair—find some time for yourself in the midst of the holiday rush.

Create a Gift Budget: Holiday stress is, in part, due to the increase in spending and the pressure it puts on your finances. This year, create a gift budget and try sticking to it. While you’re at it, budget in a haircut and color and treat yourself to some holiday pampering.

Know Your Options: If you’re experiencing holiday hair loss and you aren’t sure what to do next, there is peace of mind when you have the right resources. Holiday hair loss from stress doesn’t necessarily cause long-term issues, but if your hair loss does persist, you are not alone. Check out Transitions Hair Loss Centers’ great resources, natural products, and hair-loss solutions.

Take care of your hair this holiday season by taking care of yourself! When you feel stress influencing your holiday cheer, take some time to slow down, relax, and enjoy this special time of year. Your hair will thank you. If you are experiencing hair loss, contact us today to schedule a free, private consultation and find out which hair loss solutions will help you restore the great looking hair you deserve.

Menopause and Hair Loss: What You Should Know

in Women's Hair Replacement/by Roger Parker

For many women, their hair is an extension of their self-esteem, and even self-worth. Long, beautiful locks represent youth and vitality for some. As we age, there are transitions that happen that can lead to hair loss and menopause is one of the changes that affect our hair.

Here is what you should know about menopause and hair loss.

Menopause and Female Hair Loss

The average age of menopause is around 50 years old. However, some experience it much earlier in age or some are lucky enough for it not to show up till later on in life. While experiencing menopause and even leading up to it, some women begin to notice changes in their hair. It may seem thinner, they may see more of in the shower after a shampoo, and some experience thinning in various places such as the crown, sides, or all over. It may seem that the hair is not growing like it used to or doesn’t have the same volume. Not everyone has hair loss due to menopause, but it is a common issue for those going through it.

Why Does This Happen?

According to Women’s Health Concern:

Although it can happen at any age, the condition occurs most commonly following the menopause. This does not mean that hormones alone are to blame, although estrogen may have a protective role, helping to keep hair in the ‘growing phase’.

What Can You Do?

Changes in hair from menopause is a natural occurrence. Genetics also play a role in hair loss – even for women. The good news? This does slow down with time and the hair loss will not be as prevalent. A few ways you can help on your own is to eat a balanced diet, make sure your medications are not encouraging hair loss, and reduce the use of practices such as hair straightening, hair dryers, and any other heating tools.

If you are experiencing hair loss due to menopause or any other reason, there are solutions. At North Mississippi Hair Loss Solutions, we offer all proven hair replacement and hair restoration solutions for women. Contact us today to learn more.

in hair loss treatment, Men's Hair Restoration Mississippi, Women's Hair Replacement/by Roger Parker

New Year’s Resolutions – Tupelo MS Hair Restoration Studio

Starting off the new year always comes with a host of New Year’s resolutions. Some may include going to the gym or eating healthier. But if you are a man or woman who hates to look in the mirror because all you can fixate on is how thin your hair has become, the New Year is the perfect time to finally do something about your hair loss and restore a full head of amazingly great looking hair in the latest styles or in your old favorite style.

If you are a man or woman in the Tupelo MS area who is suffering from thinning hair and balding, we’ve gathered some information for you to help you make that decision to finally do something about it and do something for you.

How Badly Does Hair Loss Really Bother You?

Yes, it may be true that hair loss may not seem like a big deal when you compare it to some of the other types of health issues people face.

Our hair can make us feel great, just think back to your last good hair day and you see what we mean. Your confidence level goes up when you have great looking hair. And people more often than not make an initial judgement about us based on our appearance – whether we look healthy and fresh. Hair loss can make you look 10 years older than you are (or feel).

A dermatologist and Harvard Medical School instructor Maryanne Senna, MD, who specializes in hair loss from an evolutionary perspective say that having hair that is thick and luscious has traditionally been a sign of youth, fitness, and good health. For a person to lose their hair it can be difficult to accept and for women, it can be even more detrimental to their self-esteem.

Hair Loss: What Can You Do?

Top 5 Causes of Female Hair Loss & What You Can Do

in Women's Hair Replacement/by Roger Parker

A woman’s appearance is inherently connected to one’s self-esteem and confidence level. Thus, thinning hair and female pattern baldness is often an emotionally and mentally draining experience for women and their loved ones.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, “30 million women in this country have hereditary hair loss, compared with 50 million men” (Source), and yet much of the focus is placed on men, despite the notion that hair loss is more acceptable amongst men. Although physical appearance is only one facet of a woman’s qualities, it is often unfairly scrutinized by society, being placed under a magnifying lens of importance. In both social and professional spaces, women are judged based on aspects of their physical appearance, particularly their hairstyle.

Women suffering from thinning hair can understand how demoralizing the experience is, especially when conventional medicine tends to suggest “You’re getting older; get used to it!” Anyone who has struggled personally with hair loss and heard that same message from a primary care doctor will find the answer completely unsatisfying.

So if you have hair loss, take heart, help is on the way. This post covers several factors that influences hair loss in women, combined with a few tips to help you start your journey to recover your image!

Have you checked your thyroid?

Untreated thyroid problems can often lead to hair loss. Thyroid is responsible for secreting triiodothyronine and thyroxine hormones, which are necessary for proper growth and development of the body. When a person suffers from hypo or hyperthyroidism, there is either an excess or deficit of hormone secretions.

If this is a concern for you, you can speak to your doctor, who will order a basic test, “TSH.” If you have symptoms of thyroid disease, or if you have a family history of thyroid disease, then it may be worth your while to consult with your doctor about another blood test called “thyroid antibodies”. It’s the best marker of autoimmune thyroid disease.

Alopecia Areata & Female Pattern Baldness

Alopecia areata occurs when the immune system attacks the hair follicles, which is where hair growth begins. It’s currently unknown why the immune system attacks the hair follicles but the damage is typically not permanent.

Bundles of hair falling out, which results in smoothed hairless patches on the scalp is one of the first symptoms of alopecia areata. However, in some instances the hair may become thinner without noticeable patches of baldness. Or it may grow and break off, leaving behind short stubs of hair.

The best way to see if you are experiencing alopecia areata is to have your scalp professionally analyzed. The analyst will ask you questions about your hair loss, analyze the pattern of your hair loss, and examine your scalp. Once analyzed, the specialist will help you determine the next best step for treatment or even provide options such as non-surgical hair replacement or all-natural wigs if the hair loss is permanent. Virtuesse custom hair replacement for women is not a wig or a hairpiece in any ordinary sense of the word. Rather, it is a state-of-the-art hair replacement restoration system specifically designed to meet the unique challenges of female hair loss in all its forms—artistically, technically, and emotionally.

We offer high quality 100% natural European hair wigs for women (and men too), helping to restore the confidence to work and socialize with family, friends and colleagues while maintaining as much privacy about your hair loss as you wish.

Female pattern hair loss has a different clinical presentation in comparison with the more easily recognizable male pattern baldness. While male pattern baldness most often starts with a receding frontal hairline that advances to a bald patch on top of the head, it is uncommon for women to develop baldness according to the male pattern of hair loss.

Hair thinning is different from that of male pattern baldness. In female pattern baldness:

Hair thins mainly on the top and crown of the scalp. It usually starts with a widening through the center hair part.
The front hairline remains
The hair loss rarely progresses to total or near total baldness, as it may in men

Itching or skin sores on the scalp are generally NOT seen.

Are you eating right? Vitamin deficiencies lead to hair loss

Inadequate dieting practices can contribute to female hair loss. Under constant societal pressures, some women’s efforts to slim down don’t take into account the consequences of strict dieting. Lack of iron, zinc,and calcium can lead to problems with your hair, as well as hormone deficiencies.

Therefore, it’s important to eat properly if you want to stay on the path to have healthy hair. Ensure that you get enough minerals and vitamins from the food you eat; in some cases, you may even need to take vitamins in pill form. Consult with your doctor about vitamins to combat hair loss in women.

Stress hormone imbalances halt hair cycles

While a certain amount of stress is only natural, high levels of physical or emotional trauma can trigger telogen effluvium: surgery, weight loss, eating disorder, car accident, illness, troubled marriage, sick kid. Essentially, hair grows on a naturally programmed cycle that involves a growth phase, rest phase, and shedding phase.

Significant emotional and/or physical stressors can cause the hair to lock down in the shedding phase. If you clear the stress, the telogen effluvium usually clears in three to six months as your body recovers.

Overdoing hair care and products

Women’s hair loss can often be caused by aspects of a normal routine: hair dye, frequent shampooing, other treatments, products, and vigorous styling can traumatize your hair follicles.

If you think that any of these factors are affecting your hair loss, try to wash your hair less often. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that you let your hair air dry and limit hot devices (like flat irons and curling irons) to once per week or less.

Best Advice: Be Patient and Continue Research

Even with the best treatment, you can’t expect to see any results for at least three to six months. Why? Because your hair has a telogen (resting) phase, which is like a waiting room. Once your hair has entered the telogen phase, it is destined to fall two to six months later, no matter what you do. In other words, you have a lot hair in the telogen phase now. Even with the best treatment, all of those hairs are going to fall. Stay calm, be patient, and stick with your treatment.
