It Isn't Just Physical

 
 How Hair Loss Can Affect You Psychologically

Hair loss can be a serious problem for people who suffer from the condition. However, hair loss isn't just a physical problem. Your confidence can take a hit when you start to experience hair loss. You may feel like everyone can see your thinning hair and that they think less of you because of your condition. You might even feel like you are less than yourself, which begins to show to the outside world in these ways:

  • Dating Confidence: Dating and relationships can be difficult if you are dealing with hair loss. You might feel like you are less attractive to your spouse once your hair starts to thin and fall out, and may wonder if your husband or wife will feel the same way about you. Finding a new partner can feel impossible without a full head of hair, which can really begin to wear your down psychologically.
  • Business Relationships: Your business relationships and savvy may start to waver as a result of hair loss. You might feel like people are looking at your hair during business presentations, even if they aren't, which can shake your confidence during important meetings. You might not have the confidence to go after big projects or make the best impression on new clients or the big boss.
  • Overall Discouragement: No one likes to feel older than they are, but with  hair loss creeping across your scalp, you might feel like you have more years under your belt than you actually do. Especially if you are a younger person experiencing hair loss, then you could be faced with feelings of being older and inadequate compared to counterparts who are the same age.

At Apollo Hair Replacement in Dallas, you can find the hair regrowth treatments you need for your thinning hair. Our hair restoration therapies can help you gain your confidence back in all aspects of your life. Give us a call at 1-800- 339-4247

Jason Alexander's New Hair System

George Costanza Gets Some Hair

The actor who played the famously bald George Costanza on the hit sitcom Seinfeld has recently stepped out with a new, full head of hair. Jason Alexander explained through a Twitter post that he had been trying many different hair systems and told his fans to expect to see him with “more hair than usual.”

Semi-Permanent Hair Pieces: Following a surprised reaction from the media, Alexander went on to explain that he and his designer had worked together to create a great-looking, semi-permanent hairpiece.  It stays on for weeks at a time, even when he swims and showers, but can also be removed whenever he likes.   

How You Can Use Alexander’s New System for Your Hair: Instead of creating a dense head of hair that he says he never had, Alexander’s designer worked out a thin hairpiece that looks great and makes him look a decade younger.  When working on hair restoration with a skilled designer, you can decide for yourself what thickness or length will provide your perfect look.  With expert skill in design and production, the perfect hair system can be produced and blended seamlessly with your  natural growing hair.

 

If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and are interested in designing your own hair loss solution, then contact the professionals at Apollo Hair Replacement today.  We are committed to offering the highest quality and most affordable hair replacement options available, and our skilled designers have the best technology at their disposal to give you exactly the look you want. Give us a call at 1-800- 339-4247

3 Common Causes of Female Hair Loss

 

Female Hair Loss

Though often blamed on genetics, female hair loss  is typically caused by an outlying factor. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce hair loss that are easily adaptable in your everyday life. Explore a few common causes of female hair loss to find out what you can do about it:

1.      Stress: Whether it’s physical or emotion, stress can cause the body to shut down hair production. Because hair production isn’t necessary for survival, energy is devoted to vital body reparation during times of extreme stress. Body stress can include surgery, illness, rapid weight change, or unexpected loss of a family member. A three-month delay can make it difficult to associate a certain stressful event with hair loss.

 2.      Diet: Hair growth is partially based on the nutrients found in the foods we eat. A althier diet results in stronger cells that promote stronger, healthier hair. Foods that are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin A are some of the best for supplementing hair growth. Poor diets and low calorie counts typically result in stunted hair growth.

 3.      Hormones: Changes and imbalances in hormones can produce thinner, shorter shafts of hair. Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause are just a few body changes that can result in stunted hair growth. Once these hormonal imbalances cease, hair reproduction will likely begin again as normal.

These methods of female hair loss can often be resolved with lifestyle changes. However, if you’re looking for a permanent solution to your long-term hair loss, give us a call at 1-800- 339-4247.

Laser Hair Restoration Results

RESULTS

Millions of men and women suffer from premature hair loss and pattern baldness, which can cause a slump in self-esteem. Fortunately, advanced laser technology is helping people regain their confidence and regrow their hair. Read on to find out how fast you can expect to see results from your laser hair restoration treatment:

The First 6 Weeks
Following their first laser hair restoration treatment, many patients begin noticing a change in their hair and scalp. Many report feeling shinier and livelier hair; a healthier and more moisturized scalp; and a reduction in hair shedding. In the following weeks, the scalp’s health will continue to improve and the hair will begin to grow. According to clinical data, more than 40% of patients notice some hair growth within the first eight weeks.

Week 8 through Week 12
Most patients begin experiencing the full benefits and results of laser hair restoration after two months of treatment. Results for most patients include an interruption of hair loss, significant hair regrowth, thicker and shinier hair, and more manageable hair.

After 12 Weeks
The laser hair restoration treatment process is designed to produce 20% hair regrowth and a reduction in hair shedding after just 12 weeks. However, some patients will need to continue undergoing treatment to achieve full results. During treatment, have a friend or relative inspect your scalp for results, as it can be difficult to see hair growth when it occurs on the top of the head. If you don’t achieve your desired results within 12 weeks, don’t get discouraged. Some patients need a full 20 weeks or more to notice full results.

4 Common Reasons Why Men Lose Their Hair


Hair Loss
 

For hair loss restoration to be successful, doctors must first identify the primary cause of hair loss. The previous belief surrounding hair loss was that it was the result of a genetic predisposition that was given by the maternal genome. However, hair loss specialists now understand hair loss to be a condition caused by a variety of factors.

1. Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgentic alopecia is most commonly referred to as male-pattern baldness and it is the most common cause of hair loss among men. Male-pattern baldness is usually characterized by hair thinning at the forehead hairline. It progresses rapidly and causes thinning at the crown of the head. Over a short period of time, the hair thins until all that remains is a thin strip of hair above the ears and neck. Research indicates that androgenetic alopecia is caused by an inherited predisposition to hair loss that is primarily, but not solely, provided by the X-chromosome.

2. Stress
Long-term emotional and physical stress can lead to alopecia areata, a condition in which white blood cells attack the hair follicles. This significantly stunts hair growth and causes hair to fall out suddenly. On occasion, extreme stress will result in Trichotillomania, an uncontrollable urge to pull out body hair. This disorder only exacerbates the hair-loss problems brought on by stress.

3. Malnutrition
Poor nutrition can weaken the immune system, prohibiting the body from fighting off dihydrotestosterone production. Dihydrotestosterone is a harmful chemical that can cause male-pattern baldness. When this chemical collects around the hair follicles, it causes hair strands to grow in thinner. Over time, the follicle stops producing hair strands altogether.

4. Hormone Imbalance
Hormone imbalances are often associated with female-pattern baldness, but this can induce male hair loss too. Hormone imbalances can cause an increase in dihydrotestosterone production. Once again, this chemical attacks the hair follicles, causing diffuse thinning and, ultimately, balding.

Tips for Choosing a Wig During Chemotherapy

Choosing the Right Wig For You 
 

If you are undergoing chemotherapy, then you likely have many things on your mind, including your health and taking care of your family. The last thing you need to worry about is hair loss. Here are some tips for choosing a wig to wear during your treatments to take the burden of hair loss away:

Color

You may want to choose a color that is exactly the same color as your hair was before you started chemotherapy, or you may want to change things up a bit. Either way, make sure the color of your wig compliments the color of your eyes and highlights your skin tone to get the most natural look possible while hiding your hair loss.

Length

Once you begin to experience hair loss, you can choose a wig that is the same length as your hair was before it started to fall out. Or, just as with the color, you can get a little creative with your length—you could go for very long locks or a super short pixie to change up your look. You can make the most of this time by using the experience to experiment and be daring with your wig choices.

Comfort

It is essential that you find a wig that is comfortable. You don't want it to itch, be too hot or too tight, or to slip when you move—those are sure signs that your wig isn't a good fit. A comfortable wig is one that you can wear without anyone knowing you've experienced the hair loss associated with chemotherapy.  

Material

You'll need to decide if you want a synthetic wig or a natural hair wig. There are advantages and disadvantages to each kind of wig, so you'll need to do your homework to decide which type is right for you.

If you need a chemotherapy wig, or are experiencing hair loss in Dallas, come to Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Ft. Worth. 

Hair Loss Solutions

Hair Replacement Solutions

Hair loss is a common problem among men and women alike. In fact, studies by the American Hair Loss Association show that approximately two out of three men over age 35 will experience some degree of hair loss—while women account for approximately 40 percent of all hair loss sufferers. Fortunately, advancements in medicine have led to the development of a number of hair restoration treatment options. Continue reading for tips on choosing the right hair replacement solution for your needs. 

  • Determine the Underlying Cause of Your Hair Loss

One of the first steps to take when choosing a hair restoration option is to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss. For example, individuals who are suffering from hormone-related hair loss or thinning hair may be candidates for a hair transplant, whereas those whose hair loss is due to a more serious medical condition such as an autoimmune disease may need to explore other options.

  • Consider Your Hair Loss Pattern

It is important to consider your hair loss pattern in order to narrow down your treatment options. A hair transplant may be right for you if you are suffering from hair loss along your crown or hairline, while laser hair therapy may be better suited for individuals with thinning hair.

  • Consult with Your Hair Replacement Doctor 

The best way to determine which hair restoration solution is right for you is to consult with your hair replacement doctor or hair transplant surgeon. An experienced surgeon will diagnose the cause of your hair loss, analyze your balding or thinning patterns, and review your overall health status to help you find the treatment option to suit your needs.
