Androgenic alopecia and traumatic alopecia are one of the most common medical cause of hair loss in women.
- Androgenic alopecia is an hereditary hair thinning, and occurs in both men and women.
However, it is the most common form of alopecia in women.
It can begin as early as in the 20s.
By age 40, 40% of these women have noticeable hair thinning due to this condition.
By age 50, 60% of them have severe signs of hair loss.
When this type of hair loss occurs, women usually do not develop true baldness in the patterns that occur in men, as the areas affected are in the temples and the crown of the head, while the front hairline is usually preserved.
- Traumatic alopecia is a form of hair loss due to scarring of the scalp area. This form of hair loss frequently occurs in African-American women.
Traumatic alopecia is divided into three categories: traction, chemical and follicular alopecia.
Traction alopecia:
Hair loss associated with persistent use of tight braids, hair rollers, weaves, twist, locks, or cornrows. The first sign of traction alopecia is thinning above the ears and the forehead.
This hair loss is often seen in young girls.
Partial or complete regrowth of hair can follow, but permanent loss of hair can occur when
the roots of the hairs are severely damaged.
Chemical alopecia:
Damage to the scalp and hair shaft caused by commercial chemical products, like relaxers.
It resemble hair thinning resulting from hereditary causes, but also include scarring of the scalp, which can irreversibly damage the hair follicles.
Follicular alopecia:
Gradual destruction of hair follicles by the excessive use of pomades with a hot comb or iron.
Thinning usually begins at the crown and then spreads evenly throughout the head. It is an irreversible
condition.

Lace Front Wigs – a Few Things to Consider
Posted on September 30th, 2009 No commentsDeborah Rayner asked:
If you are like so many other people who are looking to do something about their hair loss then you may be considering purchasing and wearing a lace front wig. Perhaps you have been using some sort of hair regrowth treatment and come to the same conclusion that so many others have and that is that its a lot of time and expense, for limited if any results.
More Good News
The good news, is that todays lace front wigs are available in a wide range of styles made from a number of fibers including human hair and much more realistic than ever looking synthetics. More good news, is that when a quality front lace wig is properly attached, it is virtually indistinguishable from a real head of hair, even on close inspection.
Treat it Like Your Own Hair
Part it as you may, fling it around in the wind and even sleep in it if you have to, because if you have a top quality lace front wig on, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. One particular group of people that are truly benefiting from the easy availability of high quality front lace wigs online, is people with tight bushy hair and people in the market for hair extensions.
Hair Extensions and Straightening
Hair straightening and extensions are both expensive and tend to have a very rate of customer approval. That is that if you have your hair straighted or lengthened there is a god chance that you will be less that satisfied with the finished results. Also, your treatment only last for so long and if you have both of them done, you can easily expect to spend at least a thousand dollars.
No Appointment Necessary
This is why virtually all of the famous celebrities that you see on your TV and in the magazines that you read own and use lace front wigs, rather than subject their hair to any of these punishing treatments. Also, it only takes a very short time to apply a lace front wig and you don’t need to make an appointment. -
Hazards of Hair Weaving
Posted on September 27th, 2009 No commentsSharon Bell asked:
The simplest way to cover up baldness is to wear a wig. Others may opt for more sophisticated techniques like hair weaving, hair implantation, or fiber implants, but all have serious side effects.
“In hair weaving, the patient’s own hair is used to anchor a woven-on hair piece to the scalp. This technique tends to weaken and damage what is left of the wearer’s hair. Not only that but also the process needs to be repeated frequently since the hair piece will loosen and lift as the patient’s locks grow longer,” revealed Dr. Fredric Haberman, a dermatologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Denise Fortino in “Your Skin: A Dermatologist’s Guide to a Lifetime of Beauty and Health.”
If you’re considering hair implantation, the results can be disastrous. This technique, in which a hair piece is sutured to the scalp, can cause soreness and scarring that may destroy the patient’s healthy hair follicles. Implanted hair may also be ruined by combing, styling, or shampooing.
Fiber implants are even worse. The implantation of synthetic fibers into the scalp can result in infection, scarring, soreness, and ****** swelling. If the above methods scare you, there are a number of drugs that may do the trick. Since the hair root is usually alive even after hair is lost, there is a possibility or re-growth.
Oral cortisone tablets can sometimes stimulate hair growth but prolonged use can lead to serious physical or mental side effects. Furthermore, once the drug is stopped, the new hair falls out.
“Other forms of cortisone are rubbed or injected into your scalp. Their effect is often temporary and this treatment is practical and effective only for small areas,” according to Dr. David E. Larson, editor-in-chief of the “Mayo Clinic Family Health Book.”
Certain chemicals rubbed onto the scalp can cause hair growth by irritating the area. Not everyone, however, will be pleased at the results of this time-consuming method.
So far, the most successful method for treating male-and female-pattern baldness is a hair transplant. There are many variations of this surgical procedure.
In punch grafting, the surgeon removes tiny pieces of skin containing about eight to 15 hair follicles and transplant these on the bald areas on the scalp. This is done by means of a small instrument that punches out pieces of scalp from the sides or back of the head which aren’t affected by baldness.
“The punched follicles are placed in spots on the bald scalp that have been cut with a similar instrument. The donor sites are closed with stitches, while the area that received the transplant is bandaged for a day or so. The grafts have to space far enough apart to ensure adequate nourishment from surrounding blood vessels. That’s why hair transplants are done in stages, often with about 30 grafts at a time, then at least a three-week wait,” said the editors of Consumer Union’s “The New Medicine Show.”
After six weeks, the transplanted hair falls out but new hair starts to grow in three months. The new hair is coarser in texture but appears thicker. It will grow just like any other hair on your head which you can cut, comb or style. (Next: Scalp reduction for hair loss?)
Even if you don’t have hair, you can still look good with Lumnaderm, a whitening cream that eliminates freckles, unsightly age spots, sun spots, blemishes and hyperpigmentation. When used as directed, Lumnaderm will balance uneven skin tones and illuminate your skin. For more information, visit http://www.lumnaderm.com. -
Hair Care Routine - Some Tips
Posted on September 25th, 2009 No commentsJuliet Cohen asked:
Hair are a reflection of your health & personality. Hair is a remarkably tough material. It can stand up to considerable abuse, but over time your hair gets damaged or loses its natural properties. If taken care off they can add to your beauty. Nutrition is the key to healthy hairs. Nutrition is the most effective way of getting awesome hair. Hair is a filamentous outgrowth of dead cells from skin, found only on mammals. It projects from the epidermis, though it grows from hair follicles deep in the dermis. Although many other life forms, especially insects, show filamentous outgrowths, these are not considered “hair” in the accepted meaning of the term. Humans have three different types of hair: Lanugo, the fine hair that covers nearly the entire body of fetuses. Vellus hair, the short, fine, “peach fuzz” body hair that grows in most places on the human body. Terminal hair, the fully developed hair, which is generally longer, coarser, thicker, and darker than vellus hair. Hair texture is measured by the degree of which one’s hair is either fine or coarse, which in turn varies according to the diameter of each individual hair.
Many hair care products is available in market. Head massage is a beautiful relaxing treatment practiced for thousands of years. Shampoos are designed to cleanse the hair and scalp, removing dirt and grime without stripping away too much of the natural sebum. Hair straightening is a technique used to eliminate curls and reduce wavy hair in which the basic structure of curly or wavy hair is changed to a straight form. Some important hair and scalp care is necessary for those donning the stylish braids. Dabbing a bit of sunblock on the scalp is critical to preventing sunburn. Hair extensions are a huge self-esteem booster because they give women the opportunity to get the long hair style look without the wait Hair extensions are individually glued to your own hair, causing damage to your hair and head. Hair rinse is one of the important ways by which we can protect the hair, make it smooth and easier to manage. Instead of running for costly hair products. Hair Brush is very necessary for getting beautiful hair. Beautiful Hair is an asset for any woman. Hair Conditioner is a way of giving the hair the nourishment it needs to look good. The hair follicles receive nourishment from the bloodstream, but the hair shafts ceases to receive nourishment by way of external care.
Hair Care Tips.
1.Castol Oil is better to apply castor oil for a healthy growth of hair.
2. If your hair is thin, wavy, curly or stick straight, try to accept the fact and don’t be embarresed and torture your hair by using strong chemicals that may damage it just to straighten it or curl it.
3. Wash hair with tea once in a week.
4. Proper hair care is the use of proper hair care products and proper hair care techniques. Different types of hair need different hair-care products. The use of wrong products for hair care may even damage your hair permanently.

7. Soak a handful of gooseberry in a cup of milk for two hours. Make it as a paste and apply it on your hair.
8. Maintain your hair with pride and consistency. Depending on the length and style, have it trimmed appropriately. If you wear your hair short, have the style refreshed every 3-4 weeks. If you are growing your hair longer, have it trimmed every 6-8 weeks to remove split ends.

Lace Front Wigs Vs Regular Wigs
Posted on September 17th, 2009 No commentsSteve Parr asked:
Why is the world going lace front crazy?
The answer is very simple! When you weigh up the pros and cons of wearing a lace front over a traditional wig, the lace wig wins hands down on nearly every single criteria. Lets have a look!
Traditional wigs are made from synthetic or standard grade Remi or Yaki hair, whilst generally the best grade A+++ Remy hair is used in a lace wig. They also have bulky cap construction with tracks, fasteners and grips compared to the seamless wafer thin lace that the hair is knotted into. The best lace wigs are made entirely by hand and take over a month to fabricate. Lace wigs when applied properly are virtually undetectable, the lace cap can be made in different colours so that it exactly matches the wearer’s skin tone.
Anyone can spot a normal wig, it stands out a mile! A lace wig has virtually no styling limitations, you can wear it up, wear it down, part it any way you like, you can even take it to the salon with you, its 100% human hair and you can treat it like your own 100% human hair. If you’re human that is. Its rumoured that the Venusians are starting to wear them too! And who was the first person you ever saw wearing a traditional wig? Probably your granny. And just why do you think it is that the lace front is the superstar’s wig of choice?
And to those that say a lace front is too expensive, lets break it down. How often do you go the salon - once a month? And how much do you spend each time? Maybe £75? A typical high quality lace front is around £300. Over the two year life of the wig, that’s just £12.50 a month. And thats not to mention the hours and hours you spend in the salon on every single visit.
At Afrodite Lace Front Wigs we hold parties for our customers so that they can learn about lace wigs, how to put them on, take them off, and they even have an opportunity to try on their favourite styles. You wouldn’t believe the transformation just the act of putting on a lace front makes to a customer - they start behaving with the confidence of a superstar, but without the outrageous dressing room demands. Well, actually, one girl demanded a second glass of wine…….
Look at our gallery of styles of women of all ages wearing beautiful lace front wigs and you can get loads more information about styles, accessories, lace, densities and much more. And we promise to make you the very finest quality hand made lace front wig at a price you’d normally pay for one off the shelf and all to your exact specifications, colour, style, length, highlights, texture, curl, density. -

Lace Front Hair Pieces: What are the Benefits?
Posted on August 15th, 2009 No commentsImranAdrees asked:
The use of “Lace Front” pieces for the Ulitimate Hair Line appearance has gone from Broadway to Hollywood and is now found all over the streets, in offices, clubs and the super market. Available in a variety of hair types, lengths and colors a weak or damaged front hair line can now be replaced with a virtually undetectable hair line of natural human hair tied (ventilated) into a fine “theatrical” lace that once attached using a special adhesive will disappear on the skin and the hair will easily blend into the existing hair.
This technique for creating a “New” hair line has for the most part been available only to those in the film industry and a few who may have had a connection to a wig maker. It’s an effective and easy way to give one a new hair line without surgery or wearing a wig. There has been a huge resurgence of the use of lace fronts due to the popularity of their use by such celebrities as Beyonce and Tyra Banks. The lace fronts usually are about 10” to 11” wide and anywhere from 1” to 3” deep and are placed from temple to temple across the front hair line. T
he lace is attached to the skin with the use of a liquid adhesive that is safe for use on the skin it goes on clear and dries clear. Once the adhesive is dry the lace disappears on the skin and can then be touched up with a small amount of makeup to blend into the skin. The hair that is tied into the lace can then be styled into the existing hair. Another use for the lace front that was taken from the theatre and film industry is to apply the front to an existing wig. The lace fronts can be purchased over the internet and then sewn onto the front of wig to give a full wig a very natural looking hair line and allowing the wearer to style their hair off the face, something that would not be possible with a typical wig.
With this application the hair is contained in a wig cap, the wig is placed over the wig cap and the lace adhesive is applied to the skin at the hair line. It’s best to let the adhesive dry slightly before placing the lace onto the adhesive. A good tip for setting the lace into the adhesive is to press the lace into the adhesive with a piece of nylon stocking this will assure the lace is properly set, smooth and with no bits of lint. The new mainstream use of the lace front has brought a whole new dimension to the beauty industry and a wonderful new option for those with problematic hair lines allowing anyone to look and feel like a star. -
How To Apply Lace Front Wigs
Posted on July 28th, 2009 No commentsThere are a couple of ways by which you can apply your lace front wigs; one is with the help of liquid adhesives and the other is by making use of double-sided tape. Most retailers sell you the lace wigs along with the adhesive so you should not have any problem selecting one that will work properly with your wig. If no adhesive comes along with the lace wigs, then you will need to select whichever adhesive type is best suitable for your needs.
If you are using liquid adhesive, you should first position the lace front wig on your head. Make sure you pin back the hair on the wig so that they don’t get glued on to your forehead. Try a mesh cap to hold all your hair in place. Smear very little adhesive on a little portion of the lace front. Also, make sure that your natural hair is out of the way. You may choose to cut of the small hair or keep it out of the lace wig depending on the kind of look you want. Apply pressure to the lace front wig where you put the adhesive. If you are using a good adhesive, it should take as few as five seconds to hold it down. Once that portion of the lace wig is firmly in position, go on to the next section. To make it easier to apply, put adhesive on an inch of hair every time till you have put adhesive on the wig from one edge to another.
In case of double-sided tape for lace front wigs, cut the tape into strips that measure about three inches. The tape is normally about 3.8 inches broad. Lay the first strip on an area where the lace front attaches to it. The tape should be attached on the front hairline at the border of the lace. Similarly, place the other strips of tape at the border of the lace till you have finished laying down all the tapes on the full front side of the wig from one edge to the other. There should be no spaces left between the tapes. This should ensure that the lace wigs are kept in place and also produce a hairline that looks very natural.
