Gene research identifies human hair loss genes

03.11.2008 in HAIR LOSS SCIENCE

Seven gene variants linked to male-pattern baldness have been revealed at Bjorn and Dusseldorf University.

Aside from giving you time to prepare for the worst, and the faint possibility of curing those (distant) fears, further breakthroughs in this area could one day be used to cure deafness as well.

This is because most hearing loss is caused by the inability in mammals to replace damaged hair cells – this condition causes 90% of all hearing loss.

Scientists state that this research is at an extremely early stage however.

Hair Loss, What Amount of Hair Do You Shed Every Day ?

03.11.2008 in HAIR LOSS FACTS

Although prevalent belief insists that humans shed 100 hairs daily, no one is quite sure, according to a new study. The current belief also lacks scientific basis and does not indicate whether shedding remains constant with age or if it is similar for men and women.

A better and more reliable way of calculating hair loss is a 60-second count, concluded the study by researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston.

“Currently, there is no widely accepted or standard method for assessing the number of hairs shed daily,” said the study.

The study, led by Carina A. Wasko, looked at hair loss in 60 healthy men (half aged 20-40 years and half aged 41-60) without evidence of baldness.

All participants were given identical combs and instructions to wash hair with the same brand of shampoo for three consecutive mornings.

On the fourth day, they were asked to comb hair forward for 60 seconds over a towel or pillowcase of contrasting colour before shampooing.

The men combed their hair this way and then counted hairs shed for three consecutive days. This procedure was repeated in eligible participants six months later.

The younger set of participants shed 0 to 78 hairs, with an average loss of 10.2 hairs per 60-second test. Men aged 41-60 shed 0 to 43 hairs, with an average loss of 10.3 hairs per 60-second test.

Results were consistent on consecutive days for all participants. When repeated six months later in both age groups, the hair counts did not change much.

“The hair counts were repeated and verified by a trained investigator, with results similar to those of subject hair counts,” the authors write.

“The 60-second hair count is a simple, practical and objective tool for monitoring conditions associated with hair shedding,” the authors said.

These findings have appeared in the latest issue of the journal Archives of Dermatology.

Hair Stimulants by the The Hair Centre

Hair Stimulants by the The Hair Centre

Hair is a very important part of our appearance; when we describe another person it is one of the first characteristics we use to do so. Losing one’s hair therefore can be extremely traumatic.

However, if you are a sufferer you do not have to simply live with it as your parents and grandparents may have had to. The Hair Centre offers a range of new, highly effective hair loss stabilisers and hair growth stimulants.

These topical stimulants are trichologically formulated especially for The Hair Centre by one of Europe’s leading chemists. They have undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure their effectiveness. All ingredients are of the highest standard and meticulously sourced to make sure that these products are the crème de la crème.

Hair Loss Shampoos/Scalp Condition Shampoos

The Hair Centre shampoos are blends of the best of traditional, natural ingredients together with modern cleansing and conditioning agents, the end re]sult being high quality, effective products which are totally biodegradable, gentle to the hair and skin, and kind to the environment.

The shampoos are made with natural cleansing agents, which are very gentle and will not ‘strip’ the hair of too much natural oil, a common problem when low-grade detergents are used.

The Hair Centre shampoos can be used as frequently as desired as they will improve the condition of the hair, and not dry it out as many inferior shampoos do.

ALOPECIA AREATA: Results

31.10.2008 in ALOPECIA AREATA, HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED

Vitastim 15% Hair Regrowth Stimulant and Hair Loss Stabiliser:This stimulant is recommended to help stabilise hair loss and strengthen existing hair.  It is a natural hop-based solution that works as a vasodilator to increase blood circulation in the scalp and so enable healthy hair growth.  It also contains a multi-vitamin complex to help catalyse the process of conversion of amino acids into keratin hair cells and accelerate growth and diameter of the hair from the dermal papilla.

Biostim 15%: This stimulant contains a very effective natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It reduces the amount of 5-alpha reductase in the scalp and thereby reduces the formation of DHT, stabilising hair loss and encouraging a healthy growth cycle.

THIS COULD BE YOU IN 6 MONTHS
