Is there any hope for severe hair loss?

Q. Can you shed any light on recent studies for alopecia? My 9-year-old granddaughter had a beautiful head of hair, which totally fell out four years ago. She has seen many doctors, but nothing has helped. Is there anything that can be done for this life-altering disease? Any promising studies either here or abroad? A. There is a new type of medication that offers some hope against alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks patches of hair follicles, causing partial or complete baldness. Dermatologists at the Cleveland Clinic have reported on a preliminary study involving a powerful drug approved for treating rheumatoid arthritis (JAMA Dermatology, online, March 29, 2017). The drug, tofacitinib (Xeljanz), is known as a Janus kinase inhibitor. The researchers found that it helped regrow hair, though there was tremendous variability. Some people had 90 percent regrowth, while others achieved minimal improvement. This medication

Get Thick Hair By Eating Right and Washing It Less

Horses have it all: excellent morning breath, people petting them all the time, built-in highlighter when groomed properly. The number one thing they have that everyone wants, however, is thick hair. Grab a fistful of a horse's mane or tail and you have in your palms the ultimate hirsute dream. Because you are not a horse ( 🙁 ), thick hair may not be the given. In fact, you, like Alexa Chung, may literally only have three hairs on your head. But you have an advantage where horses do not, and please don't tell them I said that: you have the ability to read. I asked a nutritionist, three hair stylists, one dermatologist and two product line co-founders how to get thicker hair without extensions (which horses sometimes wear, by the way). Their answers are below for you to peruse, ignore or follow. I also asked myself how I've arrived at this point in my life, stretching an equestrian metaphor well past its lifespan. Not all questions are meant to be answered, of course.

Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is an inherited trait. It affects more than half of men over the age of 50. 1. Prescription and OTC drugs The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two drugs to treat male pattern baldness: Minoxidil (Rogaine): Rogaine is available over the counter as a liquid or foam. Apply it to the scalp twice a day to grow hair and prevent hair loss. Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar): This is a pill that you take daily. It's only available with a prescription from your doctor. For both of these drugs, it may take up to a year to see results, and you'll need to keep taking them to maintain the benefits.

However, women can also suffer from hair loss too. Every since I was a teenager, I have always had thick, lush hair so losing my hair hasn't been a huge concern for me until last year. One of the side effects of my medication that helps control my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms is hair loss. I am super thankful that my hair loss was only temporary but it got me thinking about the future. When I was younger, I remember my grandmother complain about her hair. She didn't lose all of her hair but it was super thin. It is normal to lose hair on a daily basis. Since I have long hair, I tend to notice it more when it falls out.

Female Hair Loss Remedies

I like to offer my readers natural solutions. In order to do so, I often have to research things, even if I don't have to use them myself. For the most part, I try to focus on problems I'm actively living with. But I do make exceptions. One was when I wrote about hair loss. I wasn't experiencing it at the time. However, years earlier, my hair got noticeably thinner. I blamed it on stress. Plus, my chronic nerve inflammation had kicked into high gear. My body was unhealthy. And whatever was happening took a toll on my hair. Fortunately, this problem resolved itself on its own, without any action on my part. My hair grew back, but I remained sensitive to how distressing it was to look in the mirror and see that some of my hair had fallen out. When I published an earlier post on Essential Oils for Hair Loss, I was well aware that natural remedies are increasingly used for thinning hair. Many of the positive reports are anecdotal. This means the remedies haven't bee

Baldness still key male grooming concern: Silab’s ingredient launch responds
