Hair Care: Are Salon Brands Superior?
Article by Gina Frnce
What Is Hair Loss?Each Hair grows in cycles, it grows, rests, and then falls out. Usually, this cycle repeats approximately yearly. At any time, about ninety percent of a person’s scalp hair is growing, a phase that lasts between two and six years. Ten percent of the scalp hair is in a resting phase that lasts between two and three months. At the end of its resting stage, the hair goes through a shedding phase. Now that we know the basics to our hair growth cycles, lets now go into taking care of our hair.
Most Common Hair Loss Cause: Androgenic Alopecia. This is the most common type of hair loss and is often called “male- or female-pattern baldness”. The hair usually thins out first in the front of the scalp and moves progressively to the back and top of the head. It tends to be progressive. This type of hair loss also runs in families and there is really nothing much that can be done about this type of hair loss problem.
Deep Conditioning or Normal Conditioning?Your choice of conditioner depends most on your hair type (unlike your choice of shampoo, which depends on your scalp type). Choosing the right conditioner can help you avoid greasy, limp locks or a dry, frizzy head of hair. Is it always best to consult a hair specialist to first find out what type of hair and scalp type you have, then choose the best conditioner based on this advice. We do recommend that you try Biolage Hair Care range of products as these are one of the many excellent hair care products in the market right now.
Deep condition it every week or at least every two weeks. How can you do this? Shampoo hair as usual, rinse off, apply your favorite conditioner, cover hair with a plastic cap and get under a bonnet or hard hat hair dryer. Stay there anywhere from 10-20 minutes. If you don¡¯t have a bonnet dryer you might want to use the blower to heat over the plastic cap and last rinse conditioner off. Best is to rinse off the conditioner with lukewarm water, avoid using hot water because hot water will just simply strip off all the moisture from your hair.
Why Salon Brands are Superior?Although there are exceptions, salon products generally contain higher quality, more expensive ingredients that are designed to consistently provide more intensive cleansing, moisturizing and conditioning results. The quality ingredients found in salon products are not usually found in drugstore brands. If in doubt ¨C read the labels! One of the first things to look out for is to first check that the products do not contain silicone. It is widely believed that silicone creates dry, brittle hair.
Hair Makes Us Look BeautifulHair as we all know is a very important part of body as well as having some good looks. It helps in creating a good feature for ourselves which is very essential in this fast moving world. No matter how much you take care of your face, taking care of your makes a lot of difference. One simple demonstration is this, just try taking a picture of yourself before and after a salon hair treatment and you will see a big difference!
Pride in Your HairMost hair troubles could be prevented in the start by ordinary good care of the hair, and the maintenance of the state of general good health. Of course, various diseases affect the hair: fever dries it out and makes it fall; syphilis and other sex diseases poison and destroy it. Some skin diseases have the same effect. In general, if you are healthy, broadly speaking, your hair will be healthy too. So, take good care of your body, take proper vitamins and look after your body well and your hair will thank you for it! Take care of your body and you will have beatiful hair! Your Body is like an automation machine which runs without stop, so, take great care of your body and your hair will thank you for it!

Planning for a Hair Transplant: What to Expect During the First Session
Planning for a Hair Transplant: What to Expect During the First Session
In our experience, patient expectations are most often influenced by the patient’s age, stage of hair loss, and its rapidity. The young patient (those in their 20’s) with the memory of their adolescent hairline and density still clear in their minds, are also the ones most susceptible to rapid, significant hair loss and are the patients that need the most time in the education and planning process. Other factors include the person’s social situation (such as how he is perceived by significant others), and how he has been dealing with his hair loss (such as using a hair piece or the continuous wearing of a hat). It is incumbent upon the physician to educate the patient and set his expectations correctly, or the patient may never be satisfied.
The patient should not be led to believe that hair restoration surgery will restore what has been lost. In the ideal situation, hair restoration surgery should maintain the patient’s adult appearance and give him the same “look” as he would have had if he had simply “matured.” The surgery should never attempt to restore the patient’s adolescent appearance. At a minimum, it can keep the patient from perceiving himself as being bald. In a patient who is distraught from extensive hair loss, this alone can be a significant accomplishment.
The young, rapidly balding patient poses perhaps the greatest challenge. Even an extensive procedure may not be able to compensate for the loss that can occur during the year it takes for the implants to fully grow. In this patient especially, understanding every aspect of the dynamic nature of the hair loss is critical. The progressive nature of balding, realistic hairline placement, the sparing of the crown, and the possible acceleration of loss from the surgery itself must be clearly explained. If the patient does not grasp each and every one of these ideas, it is better to postpone the surgery. Time is always on the physician’s side, since the progression of the patient’s hair loss will make each of these issues more tangible to the patient, simplifying the education process.
At the other end of the spectrum, the patient who has been bald for many years is much easier to satisfy since his expectations are generally reasonable, and modest amounts of hair will produce a marked change in his appearance. However, this same patient who has worn a hair piece for many years identifies with this look and is much more difficult to please. Like the very young patient, his reference point is a full head of hair. If this patient’s only goal is to be rid of the hair system, it is critical to determine the necessary amount of coverage that would be needed to accomplish this. If this has not been established beforehand, a transplant that might be perfect in every other respect, will be a total failure if the patient still feels compelled to wear his hair piece.
Different problems are presented by patients with more limited hair loss. The person who presents with recent progression from an adolescent hairline (Norwood Class I) to a mature hairline with natural recession at the temples (Class II), should not be transplanted. It should be explained that this evolution is normal and a flat hairline would look unnatural as he ages. In this patient, one should not attempt to “fill-in” the temples. It also may not be appropriate to transplant a young, early Class III patient. However, in an older Class III patient with stable hair loss, above average density, and without a familial history of significant balding, it would be appropriate to blunt the angles produced by the bitemporal recession, but not to eliminate it.
A final issue regarding expectations is related to the time frame in which the patient expects to see the results of his procedure. The normal follicular growth cycle is quite variable. In most patients, the majority of the transplanted hair begins to grow at about 3 to 4 months after surgery, with additional hair appearing over the next several months. In a small percentage of patients, the onset of growth of the bulk of the hair can be seen from 4 to 8 months or more, with additional new hair occasionally appearing up to 18 months after the transplant. Since newly transplanted hair will increase in diameter and in length, in this subset of patients, there may be continued cosmetic improvement for up to two years.
There has been much speculation regarding this so called “delayed growth,” and it appears that a number of factors may be contributory. Although still speculative, some of these include: 1) the normal asynchronous nature of human follicular growth cycles, 2) the possible resetting of the growth cycle after the post surgical effluvium (shedding) to a new full cycle, 3) the staggering of hair re-growth after the post surgical shedding, 4) retarded growth as a result of graft trauma such as temperature change, desiccation and crush injury, 5) amputation of the dermal papillae during graft dissection with a time lag for it to regenerate from the bulb, and 6) local factors causing delayed growth, such as the often asymmetric elastotic changes in the skin caused by the sun reaching the unevenly protected balding scalp.
Carefully controlled studies, some of which are already in progress, will be needed to sort out the relative importance of each of these factors. Regardless of the cause, it seems that great individual variability is an integral part of the transplantation process. This must be clearly explained in advance in order to keep our patients from becoming “impatient” after hair transplant surgery.
The Critical Session
Regardless of how many procedures are planned, we feel that one should always regard the first transplant as the critical procedure. The patient views the first session as a statement of future sessions. The first session builds confidence, so it is essential that expectations are met. The first session is the most important, for it is the one that generally establishes the hairline and frames the face. The initial transplant also places hair in a position to camouflage subsequent procedures.
In our experience, for the majority of patients, establishing the frontal hairline is the single most important function of the first procedure. At the outset, the frontal hairline should be placed in its normal, mature position. The hairline in this location should frame the face and restore a balance to the patient’s facial proportions in a way that is appropriate for a mature individual. In our opinion, the common practice of creating a hairline significantly above the mature hairline position with the intention of lowering it in a subsequent procedure should be avoided. If the intent is to conserve hair in anticipation of a very limited donor supply, one could still maximize the cosmetic impact of the surgery by creating more bitemporal recession or not extending the transplant as far back toward the crown. However, the position of the mid-portion of the frontal hairline should not be compromised, as this defines the “look” of the individual. Creating a hairline too high (in the hope of conserving donor hair) only accentuates the patient’s baldness by enlarging the forehead and distorting the normal facial proportions.
The other major goal of the first session should be to provide coverage to the remaining bald scalp with the exception of the crown. Since the Norwood Class A patients, by definition, do not have hair loss extending into the crown, if possible, their entire bald area should be treated in the first session. The amount of hair needed to cover the front and top of the patient’s scalp will obviously vary depending upon the extent of baldness, but there should always be an attempt to cover these areas in the first session, even if the coverage is light. In general, areas of the scalp which already have adequate coverage should not be transplanted. Although the edges of the transplanted area should be blended into the hair bearing skin, too aggressive encroachment may accelerate hair loss and not offer any additional cosmetic benefit. The goal should not be to restore adolescent density, since this is neither necessary from a cosmetic standpoint nor (as we have discussed) mathematically reasonable. Patients desiring adolescent density should be treated the same as those desiring an adolescent hairline. They should be further educated rather than ushered off to surgery.
In general, crown coverage should not be a goal of the first session, but should be addressed after the cosmetically more important front and top have been adequately transplanted. Since the front and top of the scalp are together a single cosmetic unit, the transplant may stop after this area has been treated. The patient can then evaluate for himself the adequacy of coverage from the first procedure, and if he desires more fullness or greater density, a second session can be used to supplement the area transplanted in the first. If crown coverage is attempted in the first session, the patient’s options will be much more limited, and the ability to produce an aesthetically balanced transplant might be permanently eliminated. An exception would be patients of Norwood Class III Vertex and Class IV, who are generally over the age of 30, have less risk of becoming extensively bald, and have good donor density and scalp laxity. In these situations, transplanting the crown in the first session can provide modest coverage to the area and will serve to camouflage a limited amount of further crown balding. What should be avoided in these patients is the risky practice of repeatedly transplanting hair into the crown to achieve a high degree of density, as this density can often not be supported as the balding progresses.
Beside the aesthetic issues which make the first session so important, there are many surgical advantages of working on a virgin scalp. In sum, implants can be placed more easily, more securely, and closer together into a normal scalp, since the blood supply and elasticity of the connective tissue are intact. In the donor area, maximum density and scalp mobility as well as the absence of scarring will facilitate a hairline closure. To take advantage of these factors, one should attempt to achieve, in the first session, as many of the patient’s goals as possible. In our opinion, what can safely be accomplished in one procedure is best done in one procedure, and should not be spread out over two or more.
When Should a Single Session Transplant be Considered?
A great deal can be accomplished in the first session. However, one must be realistic in anticipating what goals may be achieved with a single surgical procedure and in which patients these goals are possible.
As stated, we feel the main goals for the first session should be: 1) to provide a frame for the face, 2) to provide coverage to the front, and, when appropriate, the top and vertex of the scalp, 3) to have a totally natural appearance.
In general, for the physician to suggest to a patient that he might be satisfied with a single session, he should have relatively stable hair loss. This is especially important in the Norwood Class III, IIIa, IV, and V patients whose own hair contributes to the cosmetic appearance of the front of the scalp. In patients who have little frontal hair, the first procedure may successfully frame the face and provide coverage to the anterior portion of the scalp so that even with further balding, a second procedure would not be immediately necessary. For Norwood Class VI or VII patients in which the front and top of the scalp are adequately transplanted in the first procedure, satisfaction can be achieved in one session, because further expansion of the bald crown is relatively inconsequential. However, if coverage of the crown was attempted, then as the bald crown expands, the centrally transplanted grafts would become an isolated island of hair, and further surgery would be required.
A patient with lighter hair color will also have a greater chance of achieving his goals in one session as these colors reflect light and give the appearance of more hair. In addition, the low contrast with the underlying skin gives the illusion of more hair since the skin serves as a “filler” for the space between the hair shafts. In contrast, dark hair over light skin accentuates any spaces between the strands of hair. Salt and pepper hair works both by reflecting light and by creating another visual detail to detract from areas of sparseness. Certainly any patient who does not possess the genetic attributes of good hair color can easily change the color to complement the surgical procedure.
Wavy hair will generally provide better coverage than straight hair and is beneficial in the transplant. As with hair color, this can be manipulated after the surgery to improve the cosmetic impact of the transplant. Very curly hair, on the other hand can, on occasion, work to the patient’s disadvantage if complete coverage of the bald area is not anticipated. Very curly hair may increase the fullness of the transplanted area to such a degree that contrast with any remaining bald area may be accentuated. In addition, very curly hair transplanted to the front and top of the scalp may not be easily combed back to cover a bald crown.
The follicular density in the donor area will also impact the procedure. In patients with high density, there will be more hairs per follicular unit, and thus each implant will contain more hair. In patients with very high density, a significant proportion of implants containing 3 and 4 hairs each can be harvested from the donor area, giving a wonderfully full appearance, even from a single procedure.
Patients with hair of average or above-average diameter will have the best chance of success with one procedure. The cylinder of skin surrounding the follicular unit of a patient with coarse hair is roughly similar to a unit of fine hair; however, the volume of hair is vastly different. The diameter or “weight” of the patient’s hair is a huge variable. Whereas density may vary by a factor of 3 fold, hair weight may vary from patient to patient by many times that. Although it is much easier to quantify the density (number of hairs/mm2), rather than the weight of an individual hair, the latter is probably more significant to the outcome of the procedure. Those patients with early balding who have fine, dark hair of high density are very difficult to satisfy in a single session, since the transplanted hair is often viewed against the background of the patient’s thick terminal hair population that surrounds the bald area. By contrast, in a similar patient with coarser hair, satisfaction is more easily achieved in a single session.
Contrary to what one might expect, the extensively bald patient, even with low donor density, can often be very satisfied after one procedure. These patients often have very reasonable expectations and after being bald for many years are ecstatic to have hair framing their face, light coverage on top, and “something to comb.” In order for expectations to be met in one session, the realities of the supply/demand situation must be taken into account. It is obvious that for individuals in the Norwood Class VI or VII pattern, only light to modest coverage can be achieved in a single session, since the area in need of hair will exceed the total donor supply by a factor of at least 6:1, even under ideal circumstances.
Finally, grooming patterns will also influence the success of a single procedure. Patients who plan to comb their hair to the side rather than straight back will have the appearance of much more fullness. Unfortunately, this hair style will not provide crown coverage. Many patients achieve the “best of both worlds” by combing their hair diagonally backwards.

FASTEST WAY TO GROW HAIR FASTER
So you are wondering if you there are hone remedies that will make your hair grow faster? You always here the same old saying? You can’t make hair grow faster because it is genetic, this is not true! It is a bit like saying, no matter how much fertilizer you give a plant it won’t grow faster because it is genetic
Yes you have genes and that won’t change much but you can use steps to speed hair growth… It is much like a plant, it has genetic definitions but if you give it tender loving care it will grow faster. So long as respect your hair it will grow faster if you do the right things to it. So if you really want to grow hair faster read this carefully!
First step is to think of how good or bad is your hair condition-so is your hair healthy, shiny and strong, or is it full of split ends, damaged hair and frizzy. So you need to grow your hair out? Or do you simply need to give it more length, thickness and health?
If you hair is damaged you will need to grow hair faster so that you can grow out hair that is damaged and crunchy
So first step to grow hair faster is to get a trim to remove as much of the damage as possible and that is where cutting of split ends come in.
Lets get one grow hair faster myth out of the way and that is “does cutting hair make your hair grow faster?”
And the answer is no! Whiles split ends will not slow down growth, since your hair grows from the scalp, but getting rid of split ends will make your hair more healthy and attractive… if you don’t cut split ends , the split ends will run down to the root of the hair , damaging the new hair growth you get. So take a few snips off of your hair every 8 weeks
Hair grows faster because there is abundant blood flow to the scalp and you can boost the rate of blood flow several ways
First get an oil called Mira hair oil, it has several herbs that will send blood to your scalp and allow faster hair growth
Next use a scalp massage as follows: put the Mira hair oil into your scalp and then massage with your fingers in small circles, starting from the base of the scalp to the front of the head, 3-5 minutes is all you need. The oil together with the massage will boost hair growth
Using a wide toothed comb will also help distribute the Mira hair oil evenly around your scalp, and it will also stimulate blood flow to the scalp
A boar bristle brush will also help stimulate hair growth, use the oil with the brush and your hair will grow fast
To summarize you need a good herbal hair oil and then follow the methods I just shared to grow hair fast
Once we have taken external measures we can focus on the internal measures and to do this you need to follow the following steps for faster hair growth:
You need to check your diet to ensure you grow hair faster. You need to exercise and sleep enough? To grow hair faster you need at least 8 hours of sleep and you need at least 30 minutes of exercise four times a week
Exercise is crucial;-when you sweat it cleans out the hair pores and allows the hair follicles to breathe and grow
It will also push blood to the scalp and the entire body
You need to minimize stress to grow hair faster. So do some meditation and yoga and quite the mind. You will grow hair faster when your body and mind is healthy
You can’t stress over your hair growth efforts as stress will make you lose hair and slow down hair growth
To grow hair faster you need to consume lots of protein as Hair consists of protein also known as keratinized protein. So be sure that you are getting enough. Protein
You need lots of vegetables and fruits such as: Nuts, chicken, egg whites, fish, vegetables, fruits, grains; milk will all allow good hair growth
I suggest you take amino avoid capsules for faster hair growth. Amino acids go right into the blood and if you are using Mira hair oil and following the suggestions you will grow hair faster
You need lots of hair vitamins; the best is Vitamin B, C and Biotin. Many vitamins and minerals will help grow hair faster-these include: biotin, beta-carotene, biosil, B complexes, magnesium, silica, selium, sulfur, zinc, nettle, and flaxseed oil.
Vitamin C will also help grow hair faster by boosting health of your system
prenatal pills are gold when it comes to growing hair, studies show that they will make your hair grow fast
it has been shown by studies that Biotin will promote hair cell growth, it also encourages the production of good fatty acids, allows good metabolism of fats, and produce good amino acids needed to grow hair faster
MSM is a food that comes from the ocean and it is found naturally in the human body. MSM has been shown in numerous studies to lengthen the anagen or hair growth phase.
For best results combine all these vitamins and you will grow hair faster
To grow hair faster you need to stimulate blood flow to your scalp. There are several ways to do this, the best is doing aerobics as mentioned you need 4 workouts a week of 30 minutes
Next way to grow hair faster by stimulating blood flow is to massage your scalp. To do this you need to take the tips of your fingers and simply massage your scalp all over small circular movements are best to stimulate hair growth, all you need is 10 minutes 4 times a week
another way to stimulate hair growth by stimulating blood flow to the scalp is to you a wide toothed wooden comb to brush your hair. You should note that you should not over brush your hair and you should not use a bristled brush since it years and damaged your hair
Wear loose hair styles and avoid tight hair styles as they will damage and weaken your hair roots
Also avoid hit showers as hot water will also weaken your hair roots and will allow hair to fall easily
A good way to stimulate blood flow to the scalp is to give yourself hair tugs, you put your fingers into your hair and gently grab it and pull gently for a few seconds and let go, do this for all the hair you can get, the pull will stimulate blood flow to the scalp
Finally use Mira hair oil, it is good herbal oil that contains herbs known to stimulate hair growth, herbs like Hibiscus and Aloe Vera have been know to give hair strength and length!

How to Put Hair Extensions The Easy Way
At the time you are thinking of fixing your hair extensions, it is very necessary to select the correct fastening technique for your hair extensions. We have various methods to put hair extensions, ranging from chemical attachment, clip ins, weaving to fusion. Nevertheless, we have two kinds of fusion and it’s necessary to be aware of the similarity involving the two if you plan to follow this method to fix your extensions. The two kinds of fusion we have are namely thermal and cold fusion.
The two methods perform similar solution, but the difference is that the means you use to put it on varies. For instance, these two forms of hair extension attachment namely cold and thermal fusion fixes your hair on strand by strand system. This will give you a fabulous coverage and to an extreme natural appearance due to the extensions will come down in a natural manner just as the way your usual hair appears.
Due to the huge quantity of time which falls into fixing extensions, it requires a lot of hours to finish it so it’s necessary for you to know the amount of time it will take you if you are selecting the thermal or cold fusion. The fact is that you will be sitting down for sometime. The good side is that if you put your hair extensions through the fusion method of affixation, it is going to make your hair extensions appear nice for an extended length of period more than the other kinds of hair affixation technique used these days.
The thermal fusion utilizes a heat gun to soften the fixing substance which is found at the end of the hair extension. The end will attach to your hair strand and will form an extended bond which will last long. Thermal fusion is a well known method to put hair extensions due to they stay for long and can be fixed the way you want in order to get the kind of appearance you wish to get from it. The cons of using it are that thermal fusion utilizes heat which can scathe your hair when isn’t applied the appropriate way.
Cold fusion is a modernistic and innovative method of putting hair extensions. It utilizes sound waves to make the end of your hair extensions soft and makes it easy for you to fuse your hair extensions with no need to expose your hair to scathe caused by heat. You will not also experience any jeopardy of burning the scalp with the cold fusion method. This will make it easy for the hair extension to be fixed much more near to the base of the hair strands due to you will not be exposed to burning.
Hair Extensions DIY is a video guide which contains easy to follow step by step instructions which you can apply to fix your own hair extensions using your two hands in less than an hour. You can learn more about how it works at Hair Extensions DIY
Hair Extensions and your Legal Rights
With dozens of Hair Extension application techniques available on the market, it is imperative you know which technique is the most appropriate for your hair and what to do when things go wrong. Pictures of celebrities with bald patches and severe hair trauma are not uncommon. When you visit a hair salon you put your hair in the hands of a professional and expect to receive a quality service for an agreed amount.
So what are your rights when you suffer hair loss directly resulting from a hair extension service?
THE LAW
It is not against the law for an untrained person to provide hairdressing services, but, the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 does offer some protection. Among other things, this law says that hairdressers, like other service providers, must work with reasonable skill and care. The law also stipulates that any professional carrying out services to the public MUST have liability insurance. Hair Loss as a result of a hair extension service would be classed as ‘Injury’ and you are likely to be able to pursue this kind of claim on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis. If you have not suffered actual hair loss but believe you have received a substandard service you can take the salon or hair extensions technician to small claims court. This would involve filling out an official form which briefly lays out the details of your claim.
DISCLAIMERS
A disclaimer is a defensive measure, essentially a denial of your right to claim costs from the salon should you experience any problems with your hair extensions. Because you have a right to have the service you paid for carried out with reasonable skill and care, this may render the disclaimer invalid, so even if you have signed a disclaimer you may still be able to claim against a salon. In any case you should avoid signing a disclaimer. Many salons request you sign this legal document as hair extensions are a potentially problematic service and any problems that are thrown up can be quite costly to rectify.
THE HAIR EXTENSION CONSULTATION
This is the first step in deciding whether you would like a hair extension service and allows the technician to check you are suitable for the service. The technician should check for ‘Contra- Indicators’ which can include;
Pregnancy
Infestations of the scalp
Medication that can cause hair loss
Broken skin or Irritation of the scalp
Unexplained hair loss including diffuse hair loss and alopecia
Remember to talk to your potential hair extension technician at length, your consultation should last a minimum of 30 minutes. Ensure the technician is experienced and/or qualified to carry out the service you require. Ask for details of past clients, if the technician has done good work in the past, his or her clients will be happy to speak to you. Ask if the extensions require professional maintenance and if so, enquire about the scheduled intervals and associated costs. Ask about the risks associated with the hair extensions so you can make an informed choice. Always get a written quote so there are no surprises after the hair extensions have been applied.
PROTECT YOURSELF WITH EVIDENCE
Whether you are required to sign paperwork or not it is imperative that you keep your own records. Take 4 pictures of your natural hair that clearly shows you from the back, front, right and left. Print these out and ask the hair technician to sign and date the pictures, an official stamp will be helpful if available. This will leave you with proof of your natural hair directly before the service. When your hair extensions are removed ensure you repeat the process.
IN COURT
Understandably, very few judges would have any real knowledge about the hair extension service and will be reluctant to make a judgement if your case is unclear. Ensure you protect yourself as afore mentioned with photographic evidence and paperwork to support your claim, otherwise you may find you have wasted time and money.
Whilst this information is designed to protect you against poorly applied hair extensions it is important that you take very good care of your new hair extensions style so you avoid inflicting damage to your natural hair yourself.
Pay very close attention to the aftercare advice you are given and get these instructions in writing.
Follow your advised professional maintenance schedule.
Ensure your hair extensions are removed by a professional, preferably by the same technician that applied the extensions.
Avoid undue pressure on your hair and scalp by brushing hair extensions carefully.
Only use products and styling tools recommended by your hair extension technician.
Hair Extensions can be a fun way to change your look but always remember to take time and research the service before taking the plunge.
