The Benefits of Getting Hair Restoration
The Benefits of Getting Hair Restoration 
According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), the number of hair restoration procedures in the United States climbed more than 18% between 2014 and 2016. Worldwide, the number of procedures has grown by more than 60%. Hundreds of thousands of individuals are taking advantage of the benefits, convenience, and affordability that surgical hair restoration offers.
What is Hair Restoration?
Hair restoration encompasses a number of treatment methods and surgical procedures designed to combat hair loss and provide long-lasting results in both male and female patients. While a qualified hair loss specialist or hair transplant surgeon can determine if hair restoration is right for you, it is important to educate yourself on the benefits of undergoing hair restoration.
Increase Your Self-Confidence
Losing your hair can have a severe impact on your self-esteem, as it can change the balance of your face, make you appear older, and increase feelings of depression and anxiety. In fact, studies show that 75% of men who suffer from hair loss stated that they felt less confident with their overall appearance, especially when dealing with members of the opposite sex. Fortunately, hair replacement or hair restoration surgery can help improve your self-esteem and ultimately improve your outlook when entering into certain social situations.
Improve Your Professional Prospects
In addition to decreasing your self-confidence and feelings of self-worth, hair loss can have a direct impact on your professional success. A full, thick head of hair is associated with youth—something that is extremely valuable in today's’ competitive job market. Undergoing hair restoration can help you combat thinning or balding hair and make you appear younger, giving you that much-needed leg-up when applying for certain employment positions.
Natural Looking Results
Unlike topical products and toupees, hair restoration procedures such as multi-follicular hair transplants and laser hair therapy provide natural looking, long-lasting results.

Care for Your Hair
Be Kind to Your Hair 
Things that reduce your hairs’ strength and elasticity, and cause it to break more easily include, chemical processing (such as bleaching and highlighting), keratin straightening treatments, the suns UV rays, salt, chlorinated water, perms and the overuse of heated styling aids can result in hair damage and breakage. Luckily, for most of these issues, the hair grows back or the loss can be reversed with medical treatments. But it is important to see a professional if there seems to be something wrong, because the sooner treatment is started, the better the chances are for improving your growing season. Here are a few tips to curb hair breakage:
- Don't brush your hair too often
- Apply a pre-shampoo conditioning treatment to your hair at least once a week
- Gently remove tangles with a wide-tooth comb, starting at your ends and gradually working up towards the roots
- Use a heat protective serum before blow drying
- Don't pull your hair back too tightly when you style
- Try not to wrap hair ties too tightly around your hair. This can cut into the hair shaft and cause breakage.
- Protect your hair from the sun in the summer
- Limit your use of hair straighteners, hot roller or curling irons to twice a week
- If you bleach your hair, try not to overlap previous applications
- Trim split ends - if you leave them they can break further up your hair shaft

Hair Loss Study: Drug Side Effects Could Treat Human Hair Loss
A new drug could ease the distress of men and women who suffer from baldness, according to researchers from The University of Manchester's Centre for Dermatology Research. 
The study from the laboratory of Prof Ralf Paus is published today (May 8, 2018) in the open access journal PLOS Biology. It shows that a drug originally designed as a treatment for osteoporosis has a dramatic stimulatory effect on human hair follicles donated by patients undergoing hair transplantation surgery. Currently, only two drugs -- minoxidil and finasteride -- are available for treatment of male-pattern balding (androgenetic alopecia). However, both agents have moderate side effects and often produce disappointing hair regrowth results. The only other option available to patients is hair transplantation surgery. The Ph.D. project, led by Dr. Nathan Hawkshaw and colleagues, sought to develop new ways to promote human hair growth with the hope of finding novel, well-tolerated agents for treating androgenetic alopecia.
The approach was to first identify the molecular mechanisms of an old immunosuppressive drug, Cyclosporine A (CsA). Cyclosporine A has been commonly used since the 1980s as a crucial drug that suppresses transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. However, it often has severe side-effects, the least serious -- but most interesting -- of which is that it enhances cosmetically unwanted hair growth.
The team carried out a full gene expression analysis of isolated human scalp hair follicles treated with CsA. This revealed that CsA reduces the expression of SFRP1, a protein that inhibits the development and growth of many tissues, including hair follicles. This identifies a completely novel mechanism of action of this old and widely used immunosuppressant. The research also explains why CsA so often induces undesired hair growth in patients as it removes an inbuilt and potent molecular brake on human hair growth. The inhibitory mechanism is completely unrelated to CsA's immunosuppressive activities, making SFRP1 a new and highly promising therapeutic target for anti-hair loss strategies.
After some detective work, Dr Hawkshaw found that a compound originally developed to treat osteoporosis, called WAY-316606, targets the same mechanism as CsA by specifically antagonizing SFRP1. When he then treated hair follicles with WAY-316606, the unrelated agent also effectively enhanced human hair growth like CsA. The external application of WAY-316606 or similar compounds to the balding human scalp, he argued, may promote hair growth to the same magnitude as CsA or even better, but without its side effects.
Dr Hawkshaw said: "Thanks to our collaboration with a local hair transplant surgeon, Dr. Asim Shahmalak, we were able to conduct our experiments with scalp hair follicles that had generously been donated by over 40 patients and were then tested in organ cultures. "This makes our research clinically very relevant, as many hair research studies only use cell culture."
He added: "When the hair growth-promoting effects of CsA were previously studied in mice, a very different molecular mechanism of action was suggested; had we relied on these mouse research concepts, we would have been barking up the wrong tree. "The fact this new agent, which had never even been considered in a hair loss context, promotes human hair growth is exciting because of its translational potential: it could one day make a real difference to people who suffer from hair loss.
"Clearly though, a clinical trial is required next to tell us whether this drug or similar compounds are both effective and safe in hair loss patients."

What Happens to My Hair When I color It?
Can Dying My Hair Lead to Hair Loss? 
Hair dyes use chemicals to bond the new color to your hair (both externally and internally) and that means your hair must be penetrated by the chemicals. There is a difference between dying your hair darker or lighter. Going darker tends to do less damage to your hair follicles, whereas the peroxide used to go lighter can be more destructive to your hair follicles.
Ultimately, coloring your hair will not cause hair loss because your hair is already dead! Once your hair grows past the follicle it is dead and no longer growing. Growth occurs from underneath your scalp where the hair is alive beneath the skin’s surface. This is also where the root of hair loss can result. Your hair bulb can be affected by chemicals or hormones in your blood which can result in hair loss. However, since dying your hair only affects the hair on the surface, it does not result in hair loss.
Hair color contains chemicals that can damage your hair follicles as well as your scalp and could cause hair loss if used incorrectly or over-used.
If you feel that your hair is getting damaged by your hair dye, try an ammonia-free option. Ammonia is used to make it easier for the dye to seep into your hair, but it can also strip hair of natural nutrients which in turn weakens the hair.

Summer Hair Protection
Protect Your Hair From the Suns Rays
Summer is here, and our Texas sun is out in full force! Thousands of BBQ lovers, and outdoor fans are going to slather their skin in protective sunscreen and break out their best sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats to guard against the relentless summer sun – but what about our hair and scalps? The sun is just as damaging to what’s on our heads and can cause our hair to become lackluster and our scalps to dry and flake! Here are some precautions you can take to protect your hair and scalp from the summer sun when venturing outdoors this season.
Wear a Hat
The easiest and simplest protection you can use is wearing a stylish hat. Wide brims are ideal, as they cover more of your hair, but baseball caps can be just as effective. Try to tuck your hair underneath the hat for bonus protection. But remember, if you have thin hair, fitted hats can rub against your scalp and could create more problems down the line. Scarves and bandanas are good alternatives as well.
Use SPF Products
There are many products that are formulated specifically to protect your hair from the sun. These serums, sprays, and conditioners can usually be found at your local supermarket or drugstore. Shampoos and conditioners that provide UV protection are less effective since they are rinsed off, so try to choose other products like sprays or leave-in serums.
Be Aware of the Part
The part in your hair is an area where your scalp is exposed to the sun, so we recommend applying a bit of sunscreen directly onto any exposed scalp. If your hair is longer, you can protect your scalp by pulling back your hair into a ponytail or bun so that no areas of your scalp are showing.
Plan Around the Sun
The sun is at its highest point in the sky from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, which is when UV rays are at their strongest. If you avoid being exposed during this window of time, you will lessen your chances of sun damage to your hair and scalp. However, if you don’t want to stay indoors or in the shade during these times, we recommend carrying your protective products with you to reapply throughout the day.
Don’t neglect your sensitive scalp or hair this summer! Be sure to protect yourself from sun damage to maintain healthy, beautiful hair all year round.

What causes menopausal hair loss, and what are your treatment options?
Understanding Menopausal Hair
Most menopausal women experience some sort of hair loss or thinning. Essentially, hair loss looks and works differently for women than it does for men. It doesn’t usually look like full baldness, but rather consists of thinner hair, a wider part, and overall more hair shedding.
The primary reason behind menopausal hair loss is the change of hormones – mainly in the levels of estrogen and progesterone. These hormones decrease, while hormones like testosterone increase. The dramatic shifts in hormones can cause your hair follicles to stop working properly, thus stunting hair growth and resulting in thinning hair.
Hormones aren’t the only cause of menopausal hair loss. There are other key factors that could be playing a part in the thinning hair and hair loss of women experiencing menopause. These factors include nutritional deficiencies, thyroid health, and other medical complications that may be affecting you. Always discuss your symptoms with a doctor to get a professional medical opinion and help you understand your options better.
Hair loss is often difficult to see before it becomes significant. If hair loss isn’t recognized soon enough, there may not be sufficient time for the treatments to have their full effect. That’s why we recommend that women who are going through menopause come to Apollo Hair Restoration for a complimentary evaluation. We’ll help determine if there are any warning signs of hair loss, and we can recommend a treatment from there.
The good news is that women’s hair loss is a treatable condition, and Apollo Hair Restoration we can help determine the best course of action for your hair loss treatment. Depending on your needs, these treatments can range from simple lifestyle changes to topical solutions, laser hair therapy, hair restoration, and beyond.

Your Hair Needs Sleep
Restore Your Hair with a Great Nights Sleep
Sleep is the body's period of natural restoration. It's a time when our bodies regenerate and repair themselves, so when your sleep suffers, your hair can too! Lack of sleep can stunt the growth of hair and decrease its volume, bounce, and shine – and in some cases, it can even lead to hair loss.
When we don't get enough sleep, it affects the body's immune functions, hormone production, and both mental and physical stamina. Hair, meanwhile, is incredibly sensitive to changes that occur within the body and internal disturbances are nearly always the cause of hair loss.
This leads to stress on the body, and we all know that stress goes hand in hand with lack of sleep. Essentially, sleep deprivation can stress the body to the point of hair loss!
However, there are measures that you can take to help prevent this issue. In addition to getting the proper amount of sleep that your body needs, we also recommend sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase. Not only will these feel wonderful and luxurious, it will also help you avoid damaging your hair while you sleep by creating less friction.
You can also pamper your hair with a nighttime hair mask or leave-in conditioner to get that extra boost.
If you think you may be experiencing sleep-related hair loss or want to discuss treatment options, call our team of hair professionals today for an appointment at 800-339-4247.

Is Laser Hair Growth Therapy Right For Me?
About Laser Hair Growth Therapy
The official phrase low-level laser growth therapy (LLLT) is a medical procedure that uses low-power (or “cold”) lasers to react with cells and their functions in the human body to treat a variety of conditions. One such popular treatment is for encouraging healthy hair growth for people, men and women, afflicted with hair loss.
Biological reaction to light is used widely for many conditions, from cancer treatments to soft tissue repair in physical therapy. For hair growth, red light (the low-level light, or “soft” laser) is used to react to the damaged cells responsible for growing your hair. The result is healthier cells and a restoration of normal bodily functions.
Study after study has shown that LLLT is a safe, non-invasive hair growth procedure that can show real results in restoring healthy, shiny hair. It increases volume, growth, and thickness of miniaturized hair follicles whether you’re suffering from hair thinning or simply want fuller hair; this procedure could be for you.
Like many other treatments and therapies, laser hair growth treatment or therapy is not 100% effective for 100% of people. But, recent advances in technology and more conclusive studies and research have increased the odds in this procedure, making it more effective than ever before.
In addition to faster and more efficient procedures in-office, there are products offered to use outside of the doctor’s office, like hair laser combs.

How Much Hair Loss is Too Much?
Is Your Hairloss Normal? 
Everyone goes through the natural process of shedding hair, but it can still be rather scary. No one is particularly thrilled to find a clump of hair sticking out of the drain after a shower. So, the question is, what amount of hair loss is considered normal? At what point should you seek treatment and make an appointment with hair restoration professionals like Apollo Hair Restoration.
Most healthy people have approximately 100,000 hairs on top of their heads, and we naturally lose about 125 hairs a day in shedding. Because of the cycles of our hair, it goes through periods of growing and resting and shedding. Once the hair falls out, the follicle goes back to a growth stage, then it rests during a period where growth stops, and then the hair is shed again. Rinse and repeat!
This means that at any given time, anywhere between 80-90% of your hair follicles are growing while the rest is either in the resting stage or shedding. If you're losing more than 125 hairs a day, then your hair loss is no longer considered just shedding – but rather, it could be an issue with deeper roots that needs to be examined and treated accordingly.
One common explanation could be stress. Both emotional and physical stress can often lead to hair loss. Other possibilities you’re experiencing hair loss include a change in diet or a change in any medications you use (including some antidepressants, birth control, and acne prescriptions).
Sometimes, hair loss can be perfectly normal. However, if you're concerned that your hair loss is due to something more serious, we offer a free hair and scalp consultation to determine the cause of your hair loss!

5 Styling Tips to Make Your Hair Appear Thicker
Try one of these styling tips to make your hair look thicker: 
- For an instant lift, move your part to the other side, when hair is styled the same way it starts to lay flat and appear thin by simply flipping sides you give your hair more volume.
- Use your conditioner BEFORE your shampoo. Conditioner can weigh hair down and sometimes make it look greasy and thin.
- Add dry shampoo or powder to your styling routine. Dry shampoo can help to add volume to your hair. It can also take the shine off your scalp making it look like you have more coverage.
- Finish your blow drying routine by blasting your roots with lower heat to make your hair appear even thicker. You can even add a root booster, volumizer or styling mousse product to create a thicker texture.
- Give your crown a quick lift with velcro rollers. Roll hair tight to scalp before your hair is completely dry and allow the hair to dry with rollers in place. Once hair is dry remove and loosen any unwanted curl with fingers or brush.

Hair Loss Study: Why do Shorter Men go Bald More Often?
Short men may have an increased risk of becoming bald prematurely. An international genetic study under the leadership of the University of Bonn at least points in this direction. During the study, the scientists investigated the genetic material of more than 20,000 men. Their data show that premature hair loss is linked to a range of various physical characteristics and illnesses. The work has now been published in Nature Communications.
It has already long been known that men with premature hair loss suffer from heart diseases and prostate cancer somewhat more often. The new genetic data now confirm suspicions that there are further connections to other characteristics and illnesses. In their study, the researchers analyzed genetic data from around 11,000 men with premature baldness. Around 12,000 men with no hair loss served as a control. The participants came from seven different countries.
"We were thus able to identify 63 alterations in the human genome that increase the risk of premature hair loss," explains Dr. Stefanie Heilmann-Heimbach. The human geneticist at the University of Bonn is one of the lead authors of the international study. "Some of these alterations were also found in connection with other characteristics and illnesses, such as reduced body size, the earlier occurrence of puberty and various cancers."
