Male-pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia) will affect almost 70% of males. It causes hair follicles to shrink over a period of your life, ultimately shedding those hairs and never growing back. This hair loss is due mostly to your genetics and hormonal reasoning, but hair loss can be caused by stress, poor diet, and multiple other health factors. 

Most likely, if your extended family is bald or has noticeably thinning hair, then male-pattern baldness runs in your family and you’re at risk. Over time, your hair growth cycle essentially begins to lessen and die, shrinking the follicles and producing finer and finer hair until it doesn’t produce hair at all. 

The severity of male-pattern baldness is also hereditary. However, there’s a scale called the Norwood Scale that shows you what type of male-pattern baldness you’re experiencing. Your hair loss can begin in the front toward your forehead or on the crown of your head. Many people think that only the crown balding is male-pattern baldness, but a receding hairline could also be male-pattern baldness. 

Because male-pattern baldness is hereditary, it’s difficult to combat. But there are preventative treatments. 

At a basic level, you can change your hairstyle to cover any baldness or scalp-showing. This is probably the easiest solution. If that doesn’t work, you can try biotin pills that you get over-the-counter and any pharmacy. You can also try minoxidil (Rogaine), which is a topical treatment that you apply to your scalp. It stimulates the follicles and encourages hair growth. Finally, concerning medicines you can take, there’s finasteride. Finasteride is an oral pill that is prescribed by a doctor that helps hair growth by blocking hormones that cause hair loss. There are multiple other treatments for male-pattern baldness such as wigs or hairpieces, transplant surgery, or ultimately just shaving your head. 

At Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Fort Worth, we specialize in all of these treatments and counseling. We offer free consultations to diagnose the type of hair loss you might be experiencing and offering solutions that fit your needs and budget. 

Get your hair back. Get your life back!

It’s been a while since we talked about laser comb therapy and what solutions Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Fort Worth has to offer. If your hair is thinning or if you notice that you’re shedding more hair than usual, we offer the proprietary HairMax Laser Comb! This comb looks similar to a regular comb, but it has lasers embedded between the teeth of the comb. These lasers use low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which helps stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth! The best part about the HairMax Laser Comb is that it isn’t a gimmicky, infomercial product. It’s approved by the FDA and has proven results in reducing hair loss and regrowing and thickening hair! 

The HairMax Laser Comb sends infrared heat into your scalp. It’s pain-free, and it’s just like combing your hair with a regular comb. The teeth on the comb separate hair while the lasers are working, providing a direct path for laser light to reach your scalp. The laser energy stimulates weakened hair follicles, and increases blood flow and circulation in the scalp. It strengthens hair follicles, reduces thinning, and even regrows hair out of a healthier and invigorated scalp. Many products simply halt or reduce thinning and hair loss, but the HairMax laser comb actually helps regrow hair! 

In a nutshell, the benefits of the the HairMax Laser Comb include:

• Laser energy of the HairMax reverses and stops hair loss.
• Hair parting teeth of the HairMax provides direct path for laser light to reach your scalp.
• Laser energy of the HairMax energizes weakened hair follicles.
• HairMax increases blood flow and circulation in the scalp, removing harmful waste products such as DHT and increases ATP.
• HairMax invigorates hair follicle and produces thicker, healthier hair.
• HairMax prevents further hair loss and promotes hair growth stimulation.

For some, it’s the most romantic time of the year. Roses, hearts, and love are in the air. It’s time to show your significant other than you love them by buying them things and spending a bunch of money on a fancy dinner so y’all can take pictures of your chef-created entrees and post them to Instagram to get those sweet, sweet likes! Just kidding. This is the time of the year that a lot of people hate. In particular, men. I, myself, am a man, and there are some years where I’m all about it, and some years I absolutely hate it. Let’s fuel the hate.

So, gentlemen (and ladies who also hate Valentine’s Day), let’s talk about some hairstyles you can wear during your Anti-Valentine’s Day celebration. 

We’re just going to start with my favorite. I’m pulling out all the stops. For Anti-V-Day (we’ll call it AVD for the sake of me crying everytime I type it out), my go-to ‘do is a nice, matted down, roll-outta-bed-and-not-give-a-you-know-what style. To get this style, on Valentine’s Day morning (but definitely not too early), you have to wake up and walk straight to the bathroom. Once you’re in there, look at yourself in the mirror with pure disgust, take both hands, pretend to rip your hair out (don’t actually do it), and then brush your teeth. From here, we won’t focus on your hair for the rest of the day. We also aren’t leaving the house. What we’re going for here is a real carefree gypsie vibe. We are free-spirited and don’t need to be in a relationship. We love ourselves. And we show that by giving ourselves an entire day full of wiry, greasy, unkempt hair. It’s relieving and refreshing, even if the smell of your hair isn’t. 

After you brush your teeth, make your way to the kitchen, because you need coffee to get through this corporate-made, money-grubbing day. Yes, this is still part of the hairstyle. When that coffee is finally in your mug, you can begin to actually wake up by plopping down on the couch with your coffee and a bag of Cheetos. Grab the remote before you open that bag, you don’t want cheesy bits getting in all the buttons! Turn on Netflix, kick your legs back, and surf the endless Netflix catalog for the next hour, without actually choosing something. Brace yourself, because you’ve just searched all through Netflix’s seasonal choices, which all happen to be love stories that make you sick. What you’re going to do here is land on Gossip Girl. It’s dramatic, there’s love, hate, breakups, deceit, and a little mystery to the whole question “Who is Gossip Girl!?!?!” Plus, there’s enough episodes to last all day and then some. Rip open that bag of Cheetos and select “Season 1: Episode 1”, and get ready to be as lazy as possible for the day. 

You’re on Episode 4 and enough drama has happened for you to get those cheesy fingers running through your greasy locks, adding to that beautiful, free-spirited hairdo! It’s mid-afternoon, and you look like you just got attacked by a rabid squirrel. It’s perfection. Who needs hairspray when you have enough natural grease in your hair to move it, shape it, or mold it any which way you want? The Cheetos aren’t going to be enough though, so get on that Postmates app and get you some down and dirty Chinese food. Americanized. None of that real stuff. We want all the MSG today, baby! You’re gonna splurge today. But only on yourself, and only on your calorie count. Because we aren’t leaving the house. 

You finished season 1 of Gossip Girl. Somewhere in the middle, you took a nap after that Chinese food hit hard. Good thing the plot isn’t that great and you can literally pick up anywhere in the show and know what’s happening! It’s now 9PM. You can’t get on social media because of all the sappy posts. You’re Gossipped out, and you could really extend this nap for another 10-12 hours. So what you’re going to do now is wash the cheese off your hands, but not out of your hair. Brush your teeth one more time. Look at yourself with disgust again, but with a little more humor, because you know that once the sun rises, you’re back on your feet, hopefully in the shower, and moving on with your life! You’ve given yourself a day of grief. Now get yourself together and love life for the next 364 days until the next AVD! That’s actually the only acceptable hairstyle for Anti-Valentine’s Day (*crying*). It’s my favorite. My go-to. Feel free to switch it up and watch The Notebook for some real feels. But make sure you don’t fix that hair on AVD! Give yourself some freedom… and Cheetos.

Don’t have hair to fix on AVD? Perfect. Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Fort Worth offers free consultations on how to help you grow back thinning hair or remedy your balding. Everyone deserves the opportunity to lose food in their hair when they hate V-Day, so call Apollo today. Get your hair back. Get your life back! 

Happy Anti-Valentine’s Day (*crying again*)!

Well, it’s that time of the year again! Pink everything. Hearts. Roses. Cupid. CHOCOLATE! Your New Year’s Resolution to get fit is about to pay off for the first time in two ways. You’ll get to stuff your face with delicious sweets and you’ll also be bombshelling it on your Valentine’s Day dinner date. Let’s face it, all of these things are great, but it’s time to start thinking about that date. What are you gonna wear? What color lipstick? (Red, of course.) And the biggest question of all… what are you going to do with your hair?!

Valentine’s Day is a special day when your significant other takes you out to a fancy restaurant for a lovely, romantic dinner. It’s hard for us all not to want to look our best on those dates. Your hair is the focal point of your head. But it doesn’t have to be extravagant like prom or a wedding. But a nice hairdo will set the sparks flying immediately. So let’s talk about some different ways to style those locks for the most romantic day of the year!

You don’t have to go this crazy, but there are a few ways to put V-Day spirit in your hair… by using hearts! I don’t mean clipping hearts into your hair. I mean transforming your hairdo into a cute heart! For example, you could rock a double braid in the back then comes together at the end, forming a heart, much like the image below.

You can also rock a heart bun. This is a cute, loose style of hair where most of it falls, but the dainty heart looks beautiful.

What do we really know about our hair? Is it fabulous? Absolutely. But there’s a lot more to those beautiful locks than most people know. So let’s run through some cool facts!

Your hair grows about 1.27cm each month!

This is an average, of course, and it doesn’t seem like a lot. But because our hair is different lengths all over, that growth rate can quickly disrupt styles and start to look shaggy or unkempt.

As we grow older, our hair permanently thins and falls out.

As terrifying as that sounds, it’s a fact of life. Our hair will never be as thick and lucious and beautiful as it once was in our younger days. Unless we’re George Clooney. Which we aren’t. Unfortunately. But if you’re getting older or even if you’re young and your hair is thinning, you could always get a free consultation from Apollo Hair Replacement!

Curly hair growth is less visible!

Did you know if you have curly hair, you can grow your hair out longer without it being as visible or noticeable as someone with straight hair? That sounds like common sense, but it’s something we don’t always realize or think about. If you have curly hair, you’re saving money on haircuts! Nice.

People with red hair require 20% more anaesthetic before surgery than blondes or brunettes.

How crazy is that? Who would have thought that because the MC1R gene (the gene that causes people to have red hair) belongs to the same family of genes that play a role in pain, the mutation causes redheads to be more sensitive to it. Because they’re more sensitive to pain, they need more anaesthetic!

Whether you have red, gray, brown, blonde, or pink hair, make sure it’s thick and healthy! If you’re hair is thinning or balding, call Apollo Hair Replace of Dallas/Fort Worth to schedule your free consultation and see how we can help you!
