REPORT: Researchers Grow Fully Functional Skin (With Hair!)
REPORT: Researchers Grow Fully Functional Skin (With Hair!)
Skin can do a lot of things, but one thing it can do especially well is simply grow. Every month our body fully replaces its skin, and there are close to 19 million skin cells an inch! But in the lab, this has been difficult to repeat. However, recently, some Japanese scientists grew functional skin tissue, and they were able to transplant it onto living organisms.
This technique has only been tested on mice. However, in the future, it could change things for victims of burns or for people who have undergone skin damage of a catastrophic nature. And also, less severely perhaps, this skin growth could be used to treat male pattern baldness, which many men experience as they get older.
The researchers in Japan who worked with mice to create skin were able to implant it into the gums of mice to build clusters, some of which looked like a growing embryo. They chose mice that had a fully functioning immune system, just to make sure that they would accept the transplant. This is a huge step forward.
As skin is one of the largest--and most important--organs in the body, it's also difficult to treat it well when it's been damaged. So far, they've come up with skin grafts (which can be painful) and artificial skin (which is far from ideal). The skin grown in the lab shows that this new skin can be made with hair follicles and sweat glands, enabling it to stay moisturized and control temperatures.
Now, this can help with skin repair, but it can also help with baldness. After the mice received the skin implants, they began growing hair, which shows that the skin implanted is capable of doing the same for a person, too. It's perfectly possible that this type of skin implant could be used to aid men who have male-pattern baldness, and this is not too far off in the future.
While the technique is still about 5 or 10 years off, relatively speaking, that's not too far away. But since 95 percent of men and 50 percent of women suffer from baldness at some point, this is something that is likely to be popular when it is made public.

SM04554 A Hopeful Cure for Baldness
Here Is What We Know About SM04554
There is new hope that a cure for baldness is on the horizon. Apparently, this new drug can reverse hair loss, and this promise gives hope to millions. The drug is produced by the company Samumed, and they have completed a trial of this new drug. The drug is called SM04554, and shows promise in treating male pattern baldness.
About 35 million men in the US have male pattern baldness to contend with as they get older. This drug was tested on 302 men between the ages of 18 and 15, according to the medical research company, and this new drug was quickly found to increase hair count and also to increase hair density in men who are balding.
This brings promise for so many, for many men look in the mirror and see only that they are losing their hair. And in the past 15 years, there are only two drugs that have been approved to treat male pattern baldness. Now, with the introduction of SM04554, Samumed tells us that change is in the air.
The new drug works by opening up signaling pathways in the body's cells, and the SM04554 is actually a small molecule compound that does so quickly and with great luck, initiating and maintaining the growth of hair where other drugs in the past may have failed to do so.
After the 135 day trial, the men in the study showed great increases in hair growth and density. The trial looked at the hair of 302 men, and they were split up into three groups. One group received a placebo, one group received a 0.15 percent solution, and another group received a 0.25 percent solution.
These 302 men took the drug for 90 days at a rate of once a day, and they had a follow-up 45 days later. The men who took the solutions were found to have greater hair growth and greater hair density than those men who took the placebo. Apparently, the drug was found to be helpful and useful on all accounts. All that's needed is further research into the possibilities for curing male-pattern baldness. If all goes as planned SM04554 could be available in the next four to five years.

Minoxidil Is It Right For You?
What Is Minoxidil? 
Minoxidil is a medication that is recommended to treat hair loss. The brand names of this drug are Rogaine, Renewal and Loniten. It is most effective when it is used shortly after the hair loss starts. Additionally, people who are under the age of 40 will get the best results.
How To Use Minoxidil
Minoxidil comes in the form of a liquid. It is applied directly to the scalp using an applicator. It is typically applied twice a day. You will need to use Minoxidil exactly as directed. You will not get faster results by using more than recommended. In fact, you are likely to experience adverse side effects if you use more than what is recommended.
Minoxidil should only be applied to your scalp and hair. It should not be applied to other areas of your body. Keep it away from your eyes. If the Minoxidil comes in contact with other areas of your body, then you will need to wash it off as soon as possible. Contact your doctor if you have skin irritation.
Your medication should be stored at room temperature. You will need to keep your medication in a tightly closed container when it is not being used. Medication that is outdated should be thrown away.
Precautions
You should let your doctor know about any medications that you are taking. If you are taking any herbs or supplements, then you will also need to let your doctor know that. You should also let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding, pregnant or plan to become pregnant in the future. Do not apply the Minoxidil to your scalp if it is burned.
You should avoid excessive sunlight while you are taking this medication. Wear sunscreen and protective clothing while you are out in the sun. Minoxidil makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Side Effects
Dryness, scaling, irritation and burning on the scalp are common side effects of Minoxidil. Rare side effects include rapid heartbeat, lightheadedness, difficulty breathing and swelling of the face. Contact your doctor if you begin to start to experience unpleasant side effects.

Ready to Try a Dry Shampoo? Here's What You Need to Know.
Ready to Try a Dry Shampoo? Here's What You Need to Know.
Dry shampoos are an easy way to freshen your hair without having to wet & wash. When you are busy or on the run, the powder (usually starch or talc-based) absorbs excess grease and dirt by being sprayed or sprinkled onto the scalp.
The process is simple:
- Apply the dry shampoo to your scalp
- Work into roots of hair by massaging with your fingers
- Let sit for about a minute
- Brush and style as usual
While there are benefits, there are also some problems associated with the regular use of dry shampoo.
The Pros:
- Dry shampoos are easy and convenient to use for those who do not want to wash their hair often or have hair that easily becomes greasy throughout the day. Many people also use dry shampoos for a quick fix after going to the gym.
- By eliminating the need for daily styling, you can avoid excessive heat that causes damaged hair and split ends.
- By blow-drying, curling, and straightening less often, your hair gets a break from the heat.
- Dry shampoo can be used in certain problem areas of the hair, such as bangs that collect forehead oils.
- It can also be used in areas that need more volume than the rest of the hair.
- It is affordable. If you are willing to pay a little more, some dry shampoos even use an assortment of natural ingredients.
The Cons:
- Dry shampoo can aggravate existing scalp problems, such as dandruff
- Some cheap dry shampoo brands contain slightly toxic ingredients, while also leaving visible flakes and white powder in your hair.
- Dry shampoos can dry your hair and scalp out to the point where it no longer looks healthy and shiny.
- By stripping away natural oils and clogging the scalps pores, regrowth can become slower and/or difficult.
If you do decide to occasionally use dry shampoo, be willing to spend a little extra on the organic products that do not use aluminum, and be sure to use it sparingly.

What Cigarette Smoke Really Does to Your Hair
Cigarette Smoke and Damaged Hair
Most people are aware of the damaging affects of cigarette smoke when it comes to their skin, but fewer know the affects it can have on your hair. Whether you are a full-blown smoker or just light up on occasion, each puff has consequences. Some affects are obvious, like the lingering odor of cigarette smoke clinging to your hair, while others take time to truly show.
Are You Willing to Risk Your Hair?
Smoking cigarettes has been shown to damage hair follicles in men and women. This damage may be caused by many of the known toxins contained within cigarette smoke or can be caused by the decreased blood flow to the scalp. As the follicles become damaged, they are less capable of producing healthy hairs. This can lead to thinner, more brittle strands. In turn, the damaged hairs are more prone to breakage and splitting. This makes it harder to maintain longer locks, and may make hair appear more frizzy as hairs break at different lengths.
On top of damaged hair, smoking can also lead to premature signs of aging of the hair. Smoking lowers the amount of oxygen being transported to hair follicles. This can cause graying hair at a younger age than would otherwise be seen in a non-smoker.
Can Smoking Lead to Hair Loss?
Smoking increases levels of the hormone DHT in the body. DHT can affect a follicles ability to produce hairs and is considered to be notable responsible for male patterned baldness. Couple the hormone-related hair loss with the loss caused by follicles damaged by toxins and lower blood flow, and you may experience significant reductions in hair growth much more quickly. This may be particularly troublesome for men concerned with premature balding, but can cause a noticeable impact on a woman's hair as well.
No matter your primary concern, smoking will likely have a negative impact on your hair. Whether through premature graying, follicle damage or hair loss, smoking can prematurely age the look and feel of your hair. Add this to the list of known risks and consider it the next time you consider lighting up. Is it worth it?

Digni Cap Cooling System Designed to Prevent Hair Loss from Chemotherapy
Losing one's hair is one of the many things that makes chemotherapy difficult. In fact, it is estimated that six percent of cancer patients will refuse to get chemotherapy because they do not want to lose their hair.
Hair loss is an outward sign that one is sick. When many people lose their hair, they feel as though they lose their identity. They often look in the mirror and are not able to recognize themselves. That is why it is upsetting for many patients.
The good news is that there is a new device designed to help reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
The device is called the DigniCap Cooling System, and it was first approved by the Food And Drug Administration back in December 2015.
It works by circulating a coolant through a silicone skull cap. A person will need to wear the cap for at least half hour before, during and after a chemotherapy session.
The Digni Cooling System was created by a Dignitina, which is a Swedish company. The device is a lot like an air conditioner for one's head. It helps prevent hair loss by keeping one's head within the optimal temperature range. The temperature of the coolant ranges from 37 degrees Fahrenheit to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. The DigniCap Cooling System does not cause discomfort or skin damage if it is used properly.
Bill Cronin is Dignitina's chief operating officer. He has stated that the studies done to test the effectiveness of the DigniCap Cooling System have been promising. Seventy percent of women who received this hair-saving treatment were able to go outside without wearing a scarf or hat. The patients lost some hair, but the hair loss was not severe enough for them to feel the need to cover it.
Many patients are pessimistic and depressed after losing their hair. Those feelings can have a negative effect on one's outlook. Because the DignitiCap Cooling System can help patients keep their hair, it can have a positive effect on a patient's attitude. It is important to note that cancer patients who maintain a positive outlook typically have better outcomes.

Researchers Discover Potential Gene For Hair Growth and Color
Concerned about your hair going gray, the thickness of your head hair or the lack of separation between your eyebrows?
Researchers may have isolated a host of genes that are associated with human hair growth and color, including individual genes that are associated with unibrows, beard and eyelash thickness, hair consistency and color, and potential for baldness later in life.
Breakthrough Scientific Discovery in London
Researchers working at University College London under Kaustubh Adhikari released their findings in a recent report that identified the gene IRF4, which was already associated with melanin production, as potentially responsible for the greying of human hair. The presence of this gene in a person's genetic structure was linked in studies to an increased propensity for early hair loss. It was previously associated with paler hair shades, and scientists had previously hypothesized that IRF4 was indicative of lower melanin production in a person.
Painstakingly Detailed Trials
Dr. Adhikari and his team looked at the genetic data for a diverse pool of over 6,300 people across Latin America, and compared physical traits like hair color and consistency to genes that they had already identified as potential influencers. Although the research was not theoretically complicated, the process was extremely painstaking and took a large team of graduate students and doctoral candidates a very long time to complete.
What Does This Discovery Mean For Me?
The implications of this research are wide ranging in many different fields of science, including cosmetics. Standard hair products are typically only available to people after they have already begun balding or greying -- if doctors can show conclusively that the presence of a particular gene like IRF4 leads to baldness or premature greying, then scientists can target the hair as it is being produced. Obviously, combating baldness in infants or toddlers seems like a silly idea, but genetic manipulation in young age could potentially change the story on balding.
The research also has potential uses outside of the insular world of cosmetics. Dr. Adhikari claims that, with a bit more research, forensic scientists could actually build facial profiles and determine certain aspects of a suspect's appearance by using DNA left at the scene. Either way, the isolation of a gene that influences hair color is exciting -- thanks to scientific discovery, we're now closer to avoiding expensive coloring treatments at the hairdresser altogether!

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Clip-in Hair Extentions
About Clip-In Hair Extensions
No longer do you have to wait for your hair to grow out. Clip-in hair extensions give you the appearance of longer and more voluminous hair quickly and easily. They are equally useful to stylists and home users and can transform your look in mere minutes. You can use them to add bangs or highlights without doing anything to your own hair.
How to Buy Clip-In Hair Extensions
The first thing to do is to educate yourself on the different types of clip-in hair extensions. These include human hair extensions, synthetic extensions and novelty extensions. Each type allows the user to achieve certain effects whether the desired effects are subtle or dramatic. Clip-in hair extensions can be purchased in a number of places ranging from general retailers to beauty supply websites where you can browse by length, style and hair type among other factors. Before buying, find out how many grams are in the set and know how many grams you will need. Also, look for extensions that have snap clips with u-shaped tines as these will do a better job of holding.
How to Use Clip-In Hair Extensions
While it may be helpful to have a trained hair stylist put in your hair extensions, most of the work has been done for you when you choose clip-in extensions. The clips are sewn to the wefts so that it is easy to snap them open and attach them to your hair near the root.
Start by sorting your wefts according to size. Place small with small and large with large and so on.
Next, part your hair on one side. Make another perpendicular part at a right angle from the first one down to your ear. Use a clip to hold this section of hair in place. Do the same thing on the other side of your head. Next, section off the bottom inch of hair at the back of your head and clip the hair above it together.
Choose the weft that best fits each section. Use two wefts for the first section of hair. If the weft has two clips, the clips should be spaced two inches apart.
Use small rubber bands to make small sections of hair that are about the same distance apart as the clips.
Open the clips and snap closed on the rubber bands with the prongs of the clip facing down. Smooth the hair out with a brush.
Will Clip In Hair Extensions Cause Damage?
If they are applied correctly and properly maintained, clip-in extensions should cause no damage to natural hair. You should not sleep with them in and you will need to wash them regularly to remove the buildup of styling products. With the right amount of care, you should be able to get as many as 10 wears from your extensions.

Reverse Shampooing: Mix up Your Routine for your Best Hair
Reverse Shampooing: Mix up Your Routine for your Best Hair
Chances are, you learned to wash your hair the same way we all did: shampoo, rinse, repeat, and then condition. This tried-and-true cleansing method has been an integral part of our beauty and hygiene routine for years, and there's never been any reason to question it... until now. Recently, a trend called "reverse shampooing" has emerged, and it's changing the way we wash our hair.
So... What Is It?
Reverse shampooing is simple: just swap the order of your shampoo and conditioner. That's right, condition your locks before you shampoo. We know it sounds a little crazy at first, but there is some serious logic behind the trend.
The idea here is to nourish and moisturize with conditioner, and then use shampoo to cleanse your hair of dirt and oil, and wash away any excess conditioner. Conditioner, while necessary for most of us, also tends to weigh it down, leaving it flat. Shampooing after you condition will ensure that you get the nourishment you need without the extra weight, giving your hair added bounce and volume.
How to Reverse Shampoo
Reverse shampooing is pretty straightforward, but there are a few slight differences from your normal routine. The biggest difference is that you can fully condition your scalp to add moisture there -- since you will be shampooing afterwards, you don't have to worry about greasy roots. Once the conditioner is on, leave it for three to five minutes before rinsing and shampooing.
Another thing to consider is the shampoo you're using. You may want to choose a more moisturizing shampoo so that you're not stripping too much moisture out of your hair as you wash away the conditioner.
If you have especially thick or tangled hair, you may benefit from conditioning, shampooing, and then using a small amount of conditioner just throughout the ends of your hair to make it more manageable.
Who Should Try It?
Reverse shampooing is especially beneficial to people with fine hair that tends to get oily quickly. Because fine hair can easily be weighed down by conditioner residue, this method is ideal for this hair type.
On the other hand, those who use a toner or a harsh clarifying shampoo will need to condition after shampooing. These products are too harsh to be used without a conditioner to follow.

Protein Can Contribute to the Growth and Strength of Hair
Your Hair Needs Protein
Although most people understand the importance of obtaining protein for proper health in the body, few realize the benefits that it offers to the hair. Protein is one of the main nutrients that can contribute to the growth and strength of hair, making it important to obtain consistently to maintain the quality and thickness of the hair. When learning about protein for hair, there are a few benefits to enjoy for a healthier and shiner mane.
Strength
Keratin is essential for proper hair growth due to keratinocytes that it contains. If keratin is not obtained, hair loss can begin to occur with strands that become dry or brittle over time. This can result in a significant amount of breakage when washing, curling, or brushing your hair throughout the week. With the use of keratin, hair naturally becomes stronger and more durable, which allows it to withstand washing and styling on a frequent basis without breaking down.
90 percent of the hair is in a growing stage before it rests for three to four months. If not enough protein is obtained, it can cause the hair to become in a long-term resting faze that leads to thinning hair and balding. This makes it crucial that protein is obtained consistently through various methods.
Hair Texture
The amount of protein that hair receives will also determine its texture. You can improve the texture of your hair by infusing it with various types of oils that are available, which can be applied directly to the follicles and roots. Use almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and castor oil before massaging it into the scalp and allowing it to soak in for 40 minutes. This will help to improve the hair's texture and allow it to become stronger and shinier with protein that it obtains through the oils.
Ways to Obtain Protein
Many different types of hair products that are available on the market contain protein, which can benefit the hair shaft by strengthening it. Heat must be used in conjunction with products that contain protein to ensure that the protein penetrates the hair shaft and doesn't just sit on top of it.
An additional way of obtaining proper protein for your hair is to consume it through your diet. It's important to obtain the right amount of omega-3 fatty acids by incorporating fish, eggs, soy milk and yogurt, and fruit juices into your diet.
