Regrow Hair Loss

Page 1 of 2 Most men experience hair loss in their lives, but the severity and speed change from one person to the next. Regardless of age, if your hairline isn't what it used to be, you're probably wondering "what now?" From styling and care to treatment and prevention, here are a few things to know about your new reality. The Science Behind It "If you're seeing less and less hair, you may be experiencing androgenetic alopecia, which is male inherited balding," says Jonathon Graff, Director of Clinical Research & Education of Apira Science. "This is the most common cause of hair loss in men and is usually characterized by a receding hair line, loss in the crown or 'bald spot,' or general thinning hair throughout the top of the head. Men generally begin to experience androgenic alopecia in their early 20s, although it can take years before becoming noticeable." Hair loss is caused by genetics and hormones — usuall

For many women, there are few things more alarming than a noticeably sparser hairline or lackluster locks that seem to have lost their volume. While it's normal to lose anywhere from 50 to 100 strands of hair a day, more than that can indicate an issue. The culprit is usually harmless and can be caused by anything from genetics to how you are styling your hair. Luckily, thinning hair is usually more of a cosmetic concern rather than a healthy one. Because this is an issue that increasingly affects women as they get older, there are also a variety of products and tips that can help combat hair loss in women. If you've noticed your hair seems to be on the thinner side lately, try using some of the tips below to remedy the problem. If you don't start seeing results within a few months, a simple blood test by your doctor can determine if the hair loss is caused by an underlying health condition. 1. Avoid hairstyles that pull on the hairline Tight ponytails,

A growing number of product liability lawsuits over Taxotere hair loss are being filed in courts throughout the U.S., alleging that women who underwent breast cancer chemotherapy involving the drug have been left with permanent alopecia, which has continued for years after hair was expected to regrow. Taxotere (docetaxel) is a cancer drug approved by the FDA in May 1996, as a more potent version of another breast cancer treatment that was already on the market. Although Sanofi-Aventis suggested that Taxotere was superior to lower potency taxane-based drugs, the lawsuits allege that it is actually no more effective than the earlier treatment options, yet carries a high risk that users may be left with permanent hair problems; a risk that is not associated with other breast cancer drugs. One of the latest cases against Sanofi-Aventis was brought last week by Yvonne Bemiss, alleging that the drug maker not only failed to warn about the potential link between Taxotere and hair loss

University of British Columbia research has shown that changing your shampoo can be beneficial in slowing hair-loss. Scientific studies claiming "a cure to baldness is close to reality" frequently make the news. Many people who have used Rogaine, Propecia, and similar hair loss treatments report success, but how effective are currently-available products and prevention methods, really? It's estimated that some 70 per cent of men (and surprisingly, 40 per cent of women), experience some form of hair thinning on the scalp in their lives.

Shutterstock In honor of National Women's Health Week, we're taking a closer look at some of the conditions and issues women, particularly women of color, deal with that deserve more attention. By putting them in the spotlight, we're hoping to help women who may be dealing with these concerns, and keep those who aren't from facing them. The more you know… When we do anything that signals that we may be losing more hair than is natural, we are filled with dread. We hope it's temporary, and we try to ignore the strands clogging our showers, splayed all over our bathroom floor, and sitting on our pillow or in our bonnets after a night's rest. Large circular patches that itch and possibly overlap could be alopecia areata. It can't be cured because your immune system is attacking your hair follicles–but there's treatment to help with it. And hair could grow back down the line. Or it could not. It depends on the case. But what about the thing

And it's estimated as many as two-thirds of men in the UK will be affected by hair loss in their life, which can often go hand in hand with a loss of confidence. But an innovative treatment to reverse hair loss in both men and women is now becoming more popular than ever – especially with those who face the media spotlight.

And the sports stars all credit the KSL team with transforming their confidence. Celtic striker Leigh said: "Opting for a hair transplant was easy. With my head of hair I was going bald very very q

Yet another lawsuit has been filed over the side effects of Taxotere, a breast cancer drug that has been linked to many reports of permanent hair loss that continues long after chemotherapy treatment, indicating that the manufacturer failed to disclose the risk or that the medication was no more effective than other breast cancer drugs that do not cause on-going hair problems.  The complaint (PDF) was filed against Sanofi-Aventis by Angela Jones on April 20, in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Mississippi. Jones indicates that she was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast in January 2012. She underwent a mastectomy, but the cancer reoccurred in her left breast in March 2014, causing her to undergo another mastectomy and then chemotherapy involving Taxotere. As a result of the chemotherapy, Jones suffered hair loss, known as alopecia, but the hair did not regrow in the months following treatment. Jones indicates that she did not recogniz

There is nothing more disconcerting than taking a shower and seeing an alarming amount of hair swirling down the drain. While manу people maу be worried, WebMD assures us that losing 50 to 100 strands a daу, even 150 in some cases, is average and not a cause for concern. While it maу look like a lot, it is just the exogen – or shedding phase – of the hair growth cуcle and is completelу normal. However, if уou notice уour scalp is more visible, уour hair is coming out in clumps, or there's more hair on уour clothes or in уour hairbrush, it might be time to talk to the doctor. Stress, certain illnesses such as thуroid disease, diabetes, a hormonal imbalance, or even diet can all be the culprit. In order to rule out some of the more dangerous causes, уour doctor can order a simple blood test that can reveal what's going on. If nothing out of the ordinarу is found, it could be that уou're geneticallу predisposed to thinning hair and it's just another telltale sig

In balding men, periods of rapid shedding are often brought on by stress. The reason? Stress floods your body with the hormone cortisol, and then other hormone levels fluctuate in response, says Melissa Piliang, M.D., a hair-loss expert at Cleveland Clinic If you're predisposed to balding, this can speed the process. To better control your stress, you might want to try traditional meditation or, if that's not your thing, an active meditation regimen such as yoga or tai chi. Or just commit to getting in better shape. A 2015 study in PLOS One found that older men with a high level of cardio respiratory fitness release 42 percent less cortisol throughout the day than unfit men do. The stress hormone has been linked to all sorts of diseases. Related: Torch Fat and Get Insanely Fit With THE 21-DAY METASHRED PROGRAM 2.

Quick: Think of some of your favorite movies and sitcoms of all time. We bet at least one starred a middle-aged man whose male-pattern baldness added to his charm. Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince, anyone? Mr. Hall ofClueless fame? But for women, hair loss is never taken lightly — or even really talked about. According to the American Hair Loss Association, however, females make up 40% of Americans who suffer from hair loss. For many, it can be quite harrowing.  Related: The BEST Way To Get Rid of Acne Scars "Visits with female patients suffering from hair loss can be challenging," says Yolanda M. Lenzy, MD, MPH, dermatologist and owner of Massachusetts-based Lenzy Dermatology & Hair Loss Center. "It's traumatic for a woman to lose her hair, so patients are often very emotional."
