 Men's
Hair Loss Issues
"Why
am I losing my hair?"
If you are losing
your hair and feel that you are the only one having this problem, let
me assure you that your condition is not uncommon at all. It afflicts
more than 35 million men and 20 million women in the United States. Men
usually have a pattern to their hair loss much like a U shape. This condition
is referred to as Male Pattern Baldness. Women, however, usually have
thinning all over so that the scalp can be seen throughout, but do not
lose it completely in any area.
Male pattern baldness
or MPB is caused by a derivative of the male hormone testosterone. This
derivative is dihydrotestosterone or DHT, which is present in high levels
in the hair follicles of balding men. DHT forces the hair shaft to shrink,
eventually closing the hair follicle and leaving no hair except for velluse
hair or very fine, thin hair. MPB is a genetically rooted condition and
its effects are basically irreversible.
Other factors in
hair loss can be stress, nutrition, drugs, pregnancy and chemotherapy,
all of which are temporary kinds of hair loss. Such hair loss will occur
usually 1-3 months after one of the above takes place and regrowth of
that hair will start approximately 3 months after any of the above causes
is eliminated.
As hair replacement
specialists, we will be happy to discuss your background and lifestyle
to try to determine if you are losing your hair due to a genetic reason
or because of a temporary condition.
I have tried to
educate you on why you lose your hair and in upcoming installments of
Ask Pam. I will give you information on ways to correct hair loss and
the success and drawbacks thereof. I also welcome your email questions
and will attempt to showcase some questions that are of broad interest.

 Women's
Hair Loss Issues
"I
thought only men lose their hair. Why, as a woman, do I have hair loss?"
Over 20 million
women suffer from hair loss. Over 10 million of these women are under
40 years of age. The only solution for women in the past has been wigs
or creative styling. The Graduated Enhancement Method allows us to use
existing hair that is healthy and growing rather than covering it up.
There is not just one solution for women's hair loss. In fact there is
an application for every type of women's hair loss.
Women lose their
hair for many reasons. These include circumstances such as: diet, childbirth,
menopause, alopecia totalis, and hereditary. These are not the only reasons
for women's hair loss, but we see more clients because of these above
reasons. We offer a free-no obligation consultation so we can help determine
if you are a candidate for the Graduated Enhancement Method. The consultation
is private, confidential, and at that time we can determine which of the
Enhancement Methods will fill your hair loss needs. We will discuss hairstyles
and cost at the free consultation.
Call us at 1-800-728-4247
(Hair) to schedule your free consultation or to receive our free brochure.
The head of hair you once had or have always wanted is now in your reach,
and only a phone call away.
