Digi Bits Tuesday, October 25, 2005 Prescription Medicines That Are Proven To Treat Hair Loss If you are like millions of Americans and are losing your hair, you can do something to stop it. Years ago, there were no viable treatments on the market to slow or regrow your hair back. In the last 10 years a couple of drugs have gained popularity by treating and regrowing hair. There are two current medicines on the market. One requires a prescription and the other medicine is an over the counter remedy. Both medicines have been proven effective by the Federal Drug Administration for slowing and regrowing back your hair. Minoxodil Minoxodil is the active ingredient in Rogaine. Rogaine is a topical solution that is applied twice daily to the scalp. Over the course of a few months, not only will it slow your hair loss but also regrow it. Regrowing your hair can take a while and results are more often seen on the crown of the scalp. Propecia Propecia is actually a drug to shrink the prostate, but was shown effective in controlling the hormones that cause hair loss. Propecia requires a prescription by your doctor. This drug has been proven to work better then Minoxodil in regrowing hair back. It also grows hair back on the front of the scalp as well. While both remedies are not a cure and won’t grow back a full head of hair, they do slow down the hair loss and can fill up some of the more pronounced areas. So if you’re losing your hair check into these two hair loss remedies. posted by Elliot at 6:04 AM << Home Other Information Other Sites of interest Links to other sites of interest Previous Stop Motion Sickness Introduction to Acne AdSense Money Making Alternatives The Most Important Casino Tip The Two Most Common Sleeping Disorders Inviting Your Web Site Visitors to Stay at Your Site Longer Protect Yourself from Ebay Scams Family Tree and Genealogy Save Your Marriage Become a Home Inspector celebrity hair styles areCelebrity Hairstyles home wigs pictures appliances books style sessions articles tips videos magazines resources Hairstyle Tips Salon Secrets Teen Hairstyles Hair Makeover Party Makeover Prom Hairstyles Wedding Hair Bridal Hair Celebrity Trends Kids Hair Care Black Hairstyles Co-Wash Hair Hair Recipes Hair Cut Short Hairstyles Braided Hair Hair Styling Haircare & Style Virtual Hairstyle Change Hairstyle Hair Color?

Celebrities seem to have the most amazing hair, always perfect.Many times, celebrities set the trends that the rest of us follow. If you wantto change your ho-hum style and are not sure what you want, you can begin bylooking in magazines or on the internet at celebrity hair styles. Take Jennifer Aniston for starters. Probably more than any other celebrity,she has set hair trends left and right. No matter what style she wears, her hairalways appears fresh and sleek. She has worn her hair in the standard bob to astyle known as her style. One of the interesting things about JenniferAniston and other celebrity hair styles is that you do not need to be worthmillions to achieve the same look. To recreate the chin-length cut that made Jennifer Anistons hair sopopular, you want to use a good, moisturizing shampoo, especially if your hairis colored as hers is. Then, to condition the hair, you need to use a detangler,which will make your hair smooth and shiny while not added weight. Next,towel-dry your hair and apply a quality volumizer at the roots. With a comb,form a messy part so the hair can fall into place naturally. The goal here is tomake the hair appear stylish without looking too polished. Now, your hair should be pre-dried, which can be done by running your fingersthrough it while blowing it dry on low heat. Before you begin styling, the hairwill need to be damp, but not wet. Start the styling at the back, working on theunderside. With a large, round brush and the blow dryer on medium heat, you wantto guide the hair so it becomes straight. Hold the airflow on the ends with thebrush creating a very slight under curl. Finally, using a very small amount of pomade, you will work it through yourhair to the ends, starting about one-inch from the roots. Keep in mind that ifyou have hair that is fine and straight, you will probably want to pass thisstep. This is just one of many celebrity hair styles that you can follow. Another person that we like to imitate is Nicole Kidman. Among celebrity hairstyles, her hair is always sophisticated and elegant. No matter the length thatshe chooses or the color, her hair looks perfect. To achieve Nicoles chiclook with straight hair, you want to start with a good shampoo and conditioner.Then, towel-dry your hair and spray on a treatment to help with any frizz. Using a large, round brush and a blow dryer, work through the hair tostraighten it. If you want to add shine to your hair, choose a boar bristlebrush! Next, with a hot iron, start at the back and work on the underside. Thegoal is to guide the iron down straight while blowing the hair dry on mediumheat. Now you want to apply a silicone-based shine product to your hands and workit through your hair, moving in a downward motion. Take a one-inch section ofyour hair and pull it back from the middle of the forehead. Then gently brush itback, clipping it with a jeweled barrette. The look is gorgeous and definite celebrity. Finally, when it comes to the most amazing celebrity hair styles, no one doesit better than Madonna does. For years, this celebrity has kept us guessing ather next move, sometimes surprising us with a bizarre hairstyle and other times,with a style so chic we all want it. Madonna falls into the category ofcelebrity hair styles that includes interesting, intriguing, and enchanting. To achieve her beautiful shoulder-length hairstyle, start by washing yourhair with a moisturizing shampoo, followed by a towel dry. Then, apply a nickelsize amount of leave-in conditioner, working it from about midway down the hairto the ends. Now, you want to take a two-inch section of hair and blow-dry itfrom the back. With a three-inch brush, take hair at the scalp and while pullingit straight down, apply medium heat. As soon as the brush gets to the ends,allow the hair to fall off the brush, creating a sleek, straight look. Next, at the front of the hair, you will dry it just as you did the back butrather than pull the hair down using the brush, pull it toward the ceiling withthe brush. This will actually help create volume and lift. To create soft curls,use a three and one-half inch curling iron. Divide the hair at the back of yourhead, securing the sides up with clips. However, you will need to leave one-inchof hair falling on both sides. Each of the sections will be sprayed with a light hairspray and placing thecurling iron at the midway point of the hair, drag it down to the ends. Next,you will roll the hair vertically in a clockwise direction. Do this on the otherside, going in a counterclockwise direction. For the front of your hair, youwant to place the curling iron lower on the hair shaft, again curling inopposite directions. Once you have curled all your hair, use a soft wide-toothedcomb to lift the curls gently without causing them to fall. To keep the curls inplace, spritz them lightly. The result will be that now you have a celebrityhair style just like Madonna.

Send it to a friend! Hair loss Dr Trisha Macnair They may not like it, but it's generally accepted that men lose their hair. In fact, hair loss is also common among women as they age. But the stigma can be unbearable. In this article Patterns of hair loss Beware miracle cures Medical treatments Surgery Top tips Patterns of hair loss The most common type of hair loss in women, accounting for over 95 per cent of cases, is androgenetic alopecia, or female pattern baldness. There's a large genetic predisposition, which may be inherited from the father or mother. The cause of hair loss in this condition is a chemical called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, which is made from androgens (male hormones that all men and women produce) by the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. People with a lot of this enzyme make more DHT, which in excess can cause the hair follicles to make thinner and thinner hair until they eventually pack up completely. The pattern of hair loss is different to the typical receding hairline and crown loss in men The pattern of hair loss is different to the typical receding hairline and crown loss in men. Instead, there's usually a general thinning of the hair with loss predominantly over the top and sides of the head. It usually gets worse with the menopause. Another common cause of hair loss in women is a condition called alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that affects more than two per cent of the population. In this, the hair follicles are attacked by white blood cells. The follicles then become very small and hair production slows down dramatically, so there may be no visible hair growth for months and years. After some time, hair may regrow as before, come back in patchy areas or not at all. The good news is that in every case the hair follicles remain alive and can be switched on again; the bad news is that we don't yet know how to do this. Myths about hair loss in women It means you're not a proper women with two X chromosomes. It's caused by washing your hair too often. It's caused by too much brushing or combing. Hair dyes and perms can cause permanent loss. It may result from wearing hats and wigs. Shaving your hair will make it regrow thicker. Standing on your head will help it grow back. It's a sign of an overactive brain. There's a miracle cure out there waiting for you. Beware miracle cures Scan the internet and you'll see all sorts of miracle cures for baldness on offer, from strange herbal lotions to mechanical devices. Perhaps the most useful first step you can take is to avoid the myths. After this there are several options. You can find some way to accept the change and live with it (let's face it, this is a tall order - most men struggle to come to terms with their baldness and for them at least society equates it with maturity and power). You can try cosmetic treatments such as wigs or hair thickeners, or you can try medical therapies. The last option is hair-replacement surgery. Medical treatments The drug minoxidil was first developed for treating high blood pressure, which was found to have the side effect of thickening hair growth in some people. It's now available as a lotion to apply directly to the scalp. No one really knows how it works, however, and it's not effective for everyone. Studies show that only about 20 per cent of women between 18 and 45 have moderate regrowth using the drug, while another 40 per cent experience minimal regrowth. It works best on younger people with early hair loss. A big disadvantage is that you have to carry on using minoxidil indefinitely or the new hair will fall out. Another drug, finasteride, which was developed for treating prostate cancer, has also been found to be effective but is only available for men. Surgery Surgical techniques for restoring hair have improved greatly in the past couple of decades, but this is still an option that requires careful consideration. There are two main options: Hair transplantation - tiny punch-holes of skin containing a few follicles of hair are taken from elsewhere in the body (such as the back of the head, if this is still well covered) and implanted into the thinning areas. Some surgeons use a needle to sew in just one or two hairs. However, as women are more likely to have diffuse loss of hair all over the scalp, this technique may not be possible. There has been little success with implanting artificial fibres. Scalp reduction - devices are inserted under the skin to stretch the areas of scalp that still have hair, then the redundant bald areas are removed. Alternatively, flaps of hairy scalp can be moved around the head. For more on what works and what doesn't see www.fda.gov . Top tips Many causes of female hair loss are temporary - check your general health and be patient. Take a look at your family for an idea of your risk of female pattern baldness. Don't be taken in by claims for wonder products. There is no cure for female pattern hair loss. Many women cope well by using cosmetic products, hats and wigs - persevere until you find your own style. This article was last medically reviewed by Dr Trisha Macnair in August 2005.
