The other 10 percent of scalp hair is in a resting phase that lasts two to three months. At the end of the resting stage, this hair is shed. Shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. When a hair is shed, it is replaced by a new hair from the same follicle and the growing cycle starts again. Scalp hair grows about one-half inch a month. As people age, the rate of hair growth slows. What causes hair loss? Hair loss is believed to be primarily caused by a combination of the following: aging change in hormones illness family history of baldness burns trauma However, hair loss is not caused by the following: poor circulation to the scalp vitamin deficiencies dandruff excessive hat-wearing a gene passed on from an individual's maternal grandfather Generally, the earlier hair loss begins, the more severe the baldness will become. What is hair replacement surgery? The interest in hair replacement has significantly increased over the past ten years. Two out of every three men and one in five women suffer from hair loss. For men, the main cause of a diminishing hairline is heredity. Hormonal changes such as menopause can cause both thinning and hair loss in women. There are a number of hair replacement techniques that are available, although hair replacement surgery cannot help those who suffer from total baldness. Candidates for hair replacement must have a healthy growth of hair at the back and sides of the head. The hair on the back and sides of the head will serve as hair donor areas where grafts and flaps will be taken. There are four primary different types of hair replacement methods, including the following: hair transplantation During hair transplantation, the surgeon removes small pieces of hair-bearing scalp grafts from the back or sides of the head. These grafts are then relocated to a bald or thinning area. tissue expansion In this procedure, a device called a tissue expander is placed underneath a hair-bearing area that is located next to a bald area. After several weeks, the tissue expander causes the skin to grow new skin cells. Another operation is then required to place the newly expanded skin over the adjacent bald spot. flap surgery Flap surgery is ideal for covering large balding areas. During this procedure a portion of the bald area is removed and a flap of the hair-bearing skin is placed on to the bald area while still attached at one end to its original blood supply. scalp reduction Scalp reduction is done in order to cover the bald areas at the top and back of the head. This technique involves the removal of the bald scalp with sections of the hair-bearing scalp pulled together filling in the bald area. Possible complications associated with hair transplantation procedures: Possible complications associated with hair transplantation procedures may include, but are not limited to, the following: patchy hair growth Sometimes, the growth of newly placed hair has a patchy look, especially if it is placed next to a thinning area. This can often be corrected by additional surgery. bleeding and/or wide scars Tension on the scalp from some of the scalp reduction techniques can result in wide scars and/or bleeding. grafts not taking Occasionally, there is a chance that the graft may not "take." If this is the case, surgery must be repeated. infection As with any surgical procedure, there is the risk of infection. About the procedure: Although each procedure varies, generally, hair replacement surgeries follow this process: Location options may include: surgeon's office-based surgical facility outpatient surgery center hospital outpatient hospital inpatient Anesthetic options may include: general anesthesia local anesthesia, combined with a sedative (allows the patient to remain awake but relaxed) Average length of procedure: Several surgical sessions are usually needed to achieve satisfactory fullness, with a healing interval of several months recommended between each session. It may take up to two years before seeing the final result with a full transplant series. Recuperation period: Plugged or grafted hair falls out within a month or two after surgery, which is normal and almost always temporary. After hair falls out, it generally takes another month or more before hair growth resumes. A surgical touch-up procedure may be needed to create more natural-looking results after the initial incisions have healed. This may involve blending, a filling-in of the hairline using a combination of mini-grafts, micro-grafts, or slit grafts. Non-surgical hair replacement with medication: Finasteride (Propecia™) Finasteride, produced by Merck and Company under the name Propecia, was approved by the FDA in December 1997, as a treatment for male pattern baldness. It is the first drug available in pill form for the treatment of baldness. In men with mild to moderate hair loss, clinical trials showed that 83 percent of the male patients had kept their hair or grown more after one year of treatment. Propecia (finasteride) works by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for the formation of dihydrotestosterone in a man's body. The enzyme converts testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It is believed that DHT is a key factor in male pattern hair loss, and finasteride decreases the concentration of DHT in a man's scalp. Finasteride is available by prescription only. minoxidil (Rogaine™) Minoxidil, a drug produced by Upjohn under the name of Rogaine, has been available since 1988 for the treatment of hair loss. It is currently available as an over-the-counter drug. Minoxidil is topical solution that must be applied by applicator or fingers to the balding area twice a day, every day. Decreasing the dosage to once a day results in some hair loss, and discontinuing application causes regression to pretreatment baldness. Male pattern baldness and heart disease: While a receding hairline may be just enough to bother some men, hair loss on top of the head may actually increase the risk of heart disease. The latest in a series of studies conducted over the past several years regarding hair loss in men, has confirmed that those men who are balding on the crown of their heads have a 36 percent greater risk of developing coronary heart disease. Publishing the results of an 11-year study involving more than 22,000 men in the publication The Archives of Internal Medicine , researchers found that men with vertex pattern balding, or balding on the top of the head, appeared to be a marker for increased coronary heart disease. This association was even greater for men with hypertension or elevated cholesterol levels. Previous studies have pointed to a link between male pattern balding and heart disease, but this study constitutes one of the largest conducted. Researchers also included detailed information about various patterns of balding and used these to identify the risk of developing heart disease in men of all ages. The study looked at physicians who were between the ages of 40 and 84 years old who were involved in the Physician's Health Study beginning in 1982, and followed them over an 11-year period. Of the 22,071 US male physicians studied, 19,112 were free of coronary heart disease when the study began. Every six months for the first year, and then annually after that, the men were asked to complete follow-up questionnaires to obtain information about new medical conditions and diagnoses. These were confirmed through medical records. The researchers defined coronary heart disease events as nonfatal myocardial infarction (heart attack), angina pectoris (chest pain), and/or coronary revascularization (heart bypass surgery and angioplasty). Nearly 1,500 of the men reported one of these coronary events. The researchers also looked retrospectively at the pattern of hair loss of the men at the age of 45. Participants were asked on the 11-year follow-up questionnaire to choose from options that included no hair loss, frontal baldness only, or frontal baldness with mild, moderate, or severe vertex (crown of the head) baldness. What they found was that men whose crowns were completely bald had a 36 percent greater risk of having one of the coronary events; men with moderate crown balding had a 32 percent greater risk; those with mild balding of the crown were at a 23 percent greater risk; and men with frontal balding had a 9 percent greater risk of coronary events. In addition, men who were balding and had hypertension were at nearly twice the risk for heart disease, and those with high cholesterol had nearly three times the risk, when compared to non-balding men with the same conditions.

During these heady moments no one had bigger hair than Bruno, the shampoo and conditioner companies lining up to meet him. Unfortunately now that Senegal are out of the competition Bruno has gone back to his old job of stealing cars in Paris and his 'do' seems to have lost some of its bounce.

He apparently thinks he's a bit of a star and I reckon if he went to Oklahoma he'd be he star for a while with this hairdo. Clint Mathis glides like an ostrich with his new mohawk. This entry was suggested by Patricia, Eugene OR. Posted by Nick at 05:15 AM (World Cup Time) | View Comments (18) | Add Comments June 10, 2002 What were you thinking? Clint Mathis ....at what point did you think of getting a mohawk and decide, "Yeah, that'll look good!" Reason I ask, mate, is I want you to isolate that moment so that the next time it happens you can go outside and slam your head in a car door. Besides all the less than complimentary press he gets because he does not act/train like a professional football player, he's the only US player who acts like he thinks he's a superstar. Everyone else goes about their business and let their football do the talking. Even Cobi Jones, who used to be in the Mathis category, has matured to the point where playing is more important than how he looks. The goal he scored makes him look like a good player. His 'do just makes him look like an idiot.

If you missed the Japanese players lining up before todays game with Belgium, you missed the funniest sight so far at this World Cup, eleven incredible haircuts. Anybody ever seen the 1970's Chinese martial arts tv show ' Monkey '? Well this team featured eleven " Pigsy's ". It's like they went to a hairdressing school which said "we'll give you all free haircuts as long as the students can do what ever they like." It made me instantly like the Japanese. The guy who scored their second goal, Inamoto , has been with Arsenal for the past year or so but has only gotten on the pitch four times the whole season. The club say they didn't buy him just to sell shirts in the far east, but guess who appears on the cover of the merchandising catalogue along with Vieira.

You catch yourself staring into the middle distance, mind completely blank as it shuts down for some waking ZZZ's. Tonight is a true test of a World Cup fan. Do I take the risk of sleeping through potential bore-fests of China v. Costa Rica , Japan v. Belgium and Poland v. South Korea and missing some cracking games between teams that are safely below the superpower tier? Or do I attempt to watch all three games, fall asleep anyway as Belgium strive for another three straight draws and then be shagged for more interesting match-ups the next day? This is the dilemma I find myself in. Tonight's games are even unlikely to yield any true candidates for worst 'Do either. You can guarantee China, Poland, Belgium and Costa Rica will be uniformly conventional. Japan and South Korea, as hosts on display, might throw in a blond mop and the occasional mullet, but can they truly hope to compete with the likes of Argentina, Cameroon and Romanian teams of years past? Time shall tell.

However, it's not because of how much hair, but rather, how little. Take Carsten Jancker. He's got a dome that would make Telly Savalas proud: And then there's Christian Ziege. This photo is a little old, but you can see the beginnings of the nice mohawk he's got going. What you can't see is that he's dyed the back of it white. The two-tone touch raises his chances to take the title: Not to be left behind in the coaching category of the 'Do Awards, Germany's Rudi Völler sends out a strong challenge to Cameroon's Winfried Schaefer .

First up Joseph Desire Job (I'm not shitting you, that's his name!). Someone should tell this poor bloke about the giant tarantula on his head. Followed by Rigobert Song. Ya man, da ganja is strong out 'ere. and lastly, Magabi Magumbo. . Okay, okay it's not Magabi Magumbo its Sai Baba, but doesn't he look like he belongs on the team? The member of the Cameroon team that really stands out is manager Winfried Schaefer, who after a successful career with ABBA took up poncing around on the sideline as a way of earning money. As we head into the second half I'm confident we'll see Ireland prove why they're better off with the gees gees.
