Care Tips for Your Hair System

Caring for Your Hair Replacement System

After you receive your new hair replacement system, it’s essential that you know how to properly care for your new look. While your new hair won’t interfere with your normal lifestyle, here are a few care tips to keep your new hair looking its best. Consult your hair restoration specialist if you have any concerns.

Wait 24 hours before showering. After a bond or graft service visit please allow at least 24 hours before getting your new hair system wet or shampooing it. In order to keep your new hair systemlooking its best and lasting its longest, please follow these important steps:

  1. Gently brush all the tangles out of your hair with a vent brush prior to wetting for shampooing.
  2. Use a quarter sized amount of shampoo and rub in hands prior to applying gently to your hair system.
  3. Apply the shampoo and rinse in one direction only. Do not vigorously massage.
  4. Apply a quarter sized amount of conditioner in the same manner and let set for 2 minutes. Rinse in one direction.
  5. Gently “pat” hair dry with a towel, do not rub or “towel whip”.
  6. Apply leave in conditioner and any styling product you desire and style hair.
  7. Only use a vent brush for styling and combing and do not needlessly scrape the base with the brush.

8.      If using a blow dryer, only use low heat and low air flow. Do not dry until “bone dry”.

Does Shampooing Cause Hair Loss?

Does Shampoo Cause Hair Loss?

Every day you lose approximately 150 stands of hair from your head, to maintain the normal density of your hair, each of these strands is replaced by new hair growth. Hair loss occurs when more hair is lost than regrown and the density of the hair decreases. When this happens, many people tend to shampoo less, as they believe that shampooing causes more hair to be lost.

Not just shampooing, a person may lose up to 150 strands of hair every day and this is completely normal. Your hair sheds throughout the day; while combing, while shampooing, while oiling, while massaging etc. but we mistake that these things causes hair loss. Whatever you do, whatever you don’t do, these hair strands WILL shed naturally. So throw out the fear of shampooing your hair. Shampooing has no effect on hair loss.

Cleansing and moisturizing your hair is very much important in your hair care routine hence one shouldn’t feel any allergic about shampooing or oiling hair in the fear of hair loss. On the other hand, if you are losing more than 150 hair strands in a single day and if this continuous for a long period, then it is necessary to consult and expert.

In you are experiencing hair loss and looking for a solution in the DFW area, please contact us for a free consultation at 800-339-4247.

4 Effective Kinds of Hair Solutions

Hair Loss Solutions

Hair loss is much more than just losing your hair—it can cause a dramatic shift in how you feel physically and emotionally.  Thinning hair can cause feelings of discouragement and a loss of self-confidence, which may harm personal relationships and work performance.  Fortunately, there are many solutions available that can treat or restore what was lost.  Read on to learn about four effective solutions to help with hair loss:

1.      Cosmetic Reconstruction:  This type of hair replacement solution involves reconstructing a hair system with the perfect density, feel, and behavior to match your own natural hair.  The reconstruction seamlessly blends with the growing hair with an expertly crafted part and hairline.  

 2.      Laser Hair Therapy:  Low-level laser radiation (LLLR) is used to stimulate the scalp and energize the hair follicles, causing increased hair growth and cessation of hair loss.  Over 90% of patients report positive results within as little as eight weeks of starting laser treatment.

 3.      Transplant Surgery:  Different-sized grafts are transferred to the parts of the scalp that are experiencing hair loss to achieve a fuller, more natural look.  The grafts are arranged to produce any look fullness that is desired and is only constrained by the quality and density of the hair in the donor region, fineness of the hair, and differences in color between the hair and scalp.  

 4.      Chemotherapy Wigs:  For those experiencing the hair loss associated with chemotherapy, wigs can be found to help them look their best during treatment.  Compassionate professionals can help to find the perfect wig for your needs.

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.

 

Though many people believe that baldness and thinning hair affect only men, millions of women also suffer from these conditions. Hair loss can be demoralizing and embarrassing, not to mention the effect it has on sufferers’ appearances. While men and women both experience these conditions, their hair loss is not always the same. Read on for a comparison of hair loss in men and women. 

Male Hair Loss

Most hair loss in men is due to male pattern baldness, a genetic condition that results from sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone. This chemical shrinks hair follicles until they no longer produce hair. Male pattern baldness usually occurs in predictable patterns, beginning at the hairline or the crown of the head, and progressing into the “horseshoe” shape usually associated with baldness. By the age of fifty, over eighty percent of men have some degree of thinning hair, and genetic factors are responsible for 95% of hair loss cases.

Female Hair Loss

Women usually notice hair loss as extra strands in their combs; at first, they may not see a difference when they look in the mirror. Hair loss in women occurs as a gradual thinning all over the head, until hair that was once thick seems thin and limp. Though some women do carry genes for hair loss, there are many other reasons that women lose hair. About six weeks after giving birth, many women experience significant hair thinning as their bodies recover from the stress of pregnancy. In general, stress is a major cause of hair loss in women, be it from illness, life events, or an infection. Unlike men, women sometimes cause their own hair loss by wearing their hair in tight hair styles like cornrows, or by excessively bleaching or treating their hair.

Though men are more likely to experience hair loss, this condition is also a serious problem for women around the country. If you suffer from hair loss and want to explore your options for restoring your hair, call Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Fort Worth at (972) 620-9600.
