Cancer treatments can affect hair color

Q: Is it true that chemotherapy not only makes you lose your hair, but that it can also change the color and texture of hair that grows back, and even get rid of gray? A: We think your question may be addressing two different types of cancer treatment — chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In both cases, the answer is yes; each can have an effect on the regrowth of hair. After decades of use, much is known about the side effects of chemotherapy. These powerful drugs target cells in the body that grow and divide rapidly. However, chemotherapy drugs can't tell the difference between the rapidly dividing cancer cells and the cells that form our hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. Many cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy experience hair loss. Depending on the type of treatment, it can range from partial, with perceptible thinning of hair on the scalp and body, to complete hair loss, including body hair, eyelashes and eyebrows. When hair begins to grow back, usually three to six mont

Hair loss treatment using Astressin-B Peptides

Astressin-B helps in restoring hair follicles, even leading to darker pigmentation of hair than the original. But is it really worth it? Dr Ramachandra, Plastic Surgery – Apollo Spectra Hospitals helps us in understanding its working and how exactly Astressin-B Peptides are helpful in growing new hair. Why is Astressin-B Peptides procedure used? One of the major reasons for hair loss is stress. While a person is stressed, corticotrophin levels increase in the body. Through Astressin-B Peptides it is possible to reduce the stress level in the body and prevent hair loss. However, consulting the expert and then going ahead with the recommended treatment is always safe. How exactly is the treatment done? Astressin-B works by inhibiting certain receptors involved in hair growth that are antagonists to hair growth when the body is exposed to stress. This can be applied to the scalp in the form of a serum or injection. There is no particular procedure required for this treatment. Read mor

Harklinikken is the Royal-Approved Copenhagen Hair Loss Clinic That Just Opened in NYC

Blaublut-edition.com / Till Becker These days hair loss is countered with transplant surgery (which has come a long way since the era of the telltale chia pet scalp), prescription drugs, supplements, or nothing but an adjusted attitude. But nearly $4 billion is spent every year in the United States to fight it, so clearly not many people are taking the laid-back approach. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below An especially clued-in crew that includes British politicians, European royals, and Persian Gulf oil billionaires is literally going the extra mile, rearranging schedules to visit Harklinikken, a hair clinic in Copenhagen. And this summer, Harklinikken opened its doors in Manhattan, inside Dangene: The Institute of Skinovation. Harklinikken stands out as much for what it does—create customized topical formulas to reverse hair loss—as for what it doesn't do: transplants. "The standard way of thinking is to create that magic medicine or pill that wi

Alopecia bride wows wedding guests by shedding wig to brave big day bald

By Jos Weale A stunning bride with alopecia left her guests in complete awe of her bravery after ditching her wig to celebrate her wedding day BALD. © Provided by Caters News Agency Ltd Emma Bain, 25, has struggled the hair loss condition for nine years, and has been completely bald, with only brief regrowth spells, since she was 19. The physiotherapist says she has worn specially made wigs to disguise her lack of hair since university. Despite slowly coming to terms with her hair loss, she still had concerns about facing her big day while bald – as the majority of the wedding party never having seen her without her wig. But after walking down the aisle on September 2 this year with her auburn hair, Emma then decided to discard her wig for some touching pictures with her bride, in an inspiring show of body confidence. And from then on, she danced the night away with her wedding party – completely hairless – to show that people are beautiful with or without their locks.

Counteracting Hair Loss in Women

Counteracting Hair Loss in Women This hair loss statistic might surprise most: it's estimated that of all the people suffering hair loss, 40 percent are women. Men are not the only ones suffering, it would seem. While the hair loss can create psychological issues for men, women can suffer even more. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Namnoum discusses the issue and how modern techniques and devices are creating a relative "cure" for females suffering from hair loss. What is the Normal Lifespan of Hair? The average woman is born with 100,000 hair follicles on her head, which are in a constant state of change. When a follicle is first activated, it grows thick hairs for several years. When the growth cycle is complete, the follicle undergoes a transitional phase before entering into a resting period where the hair is eventually shed, and the cycle begins again. EXCEPT, when hereditary hair loss starts with a progressive shortening of the hair's growt

Taxotere Hair Loss Claims Must be Reported for Eligibility in Any Future Settlement: Court

The U.S. District Judge presiding over all federal Taxotere hair loss lawsuits is requiring that all claims be identified and reported on a rolling basis, so that they may be eligible for participation in any future settlement program to resolve cases brought by women nationwide. There are currently about 1,500 product liability lawsuits pending against Sanofi-Aventis, over failure to warn women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer about the risk that they may be left permanent hair loss due to side effects of Taxotere, which has not been associated with other equally effective treatment options. Given similar questions of fact and law raised in complaints filed throughout the federal court system, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) established coordinated pretrial proceedings last year, centralizing all Taxotere claims before U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt in the Eastern District of Louisiana as part of an MDL, or multidistrict litigation.

Gail Porter reveals how she coped after hair loss

Back in 2005, Gail Porter was in Las Vegas looking for ghosts. Filming for the television series Dead Famous: Ghostly Encounters was in full swing – a strange moment in her professional life. But then something even more bizarre happened: she lost all her hair. "I was using the shower. And I shouted to my boyfriend at the time and said 'there's something wrong with the bathroom because the water is coming up to my knees'. And then he looked at me and said: 'where's your hair?!'. And it was all in the shower." ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW It was a big shock, Gail, who was 34 at the time, admits. The hardest part, she says, was having to phone her ex-husband (Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave) and ask him to tell their three-year-old daughter Honey she was coming back to the UK without her blonde tresses.

How To Use Peppermint Oil To Stop Hair Loss

In most adults, it's normal to lose 50-100 hairs each day. They are usually replaced naturally, and noticeable hair loss is not a problem. But for some, hair loss is a real concern.

These include: Thyroid imbalancesHormonal imbalancesLupusSarcoidosisScalp infectionsCancer therapy involving radiationHair treatments (coloring, permanents, etc…)Whatever the reason, hair loss affects millions of people around the world. And while some believe it's just a fact of life, and that there is nothing to be done about it, others are looking for solutions. Many people seek out medical options, including oral finasteride (known as Proscar®) or the topical treatment, minoxidil, commonly known as Rogaine®.

These 20 Treatments For Thinning Hair Actually Work — According to Pros

If you've noticed your hair thinning, you're not alone. "As a salon owner and hairstylist, thinning hair and hair loss are the top concerns of my clients. They all ask me how can they achieve thicker, fuller hair while finding a way to get hair to regrow," says Gabriel Samra, a celebrity hairstylist. That said, being in good company isn't exactly comforting when you're literally watching your hair wash down the drain. While some hair loss might indicate a deeper medical issue and therefore need to be treated by a doctor, it could be due to stress or poor hair health (see here for a list of common causes), in which case hair experts say you can take matters into your own hands.
