Hair Dryers: Blowing away your hair?

What about hair dryers?

Are these follicular incinerators?

The good news is there is no evidence that hair dryers cause thinning hair. However, too hot or too much drying may lead to brittle and breakable hair. Let common sense guide you and hold the hair dryer at a normal distance from your scalp and dry to your heart’s content.

Vitamins and Steroids?

Think about this – if you were losing hair because of a lack of vitamins or minerals in your diet, why wouldn’t the back and sides of your head be affected? In actuality, vitamin deficiency results in an even distribution of hair loss all over the head. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to take vitamins on a regular basis for your overall health.

Your follicles width and amount are based on heredity. So claims of hair growing miracle drugs or natural hair loss treatments are untrue.

However, steroids use can cause hair loss. Research has proven that anabolic steroids raise the levels of baldness-inducing male hormones. For those who are genetically prone to hair loss, this can speed up the loss in as little as 3 to 6 months. While this loss may be reversed, it can be permanent.

Can Laughter Help With Hair Loss?

 

Some people experience hair loss due to excessive stress in their lives. Having a sense of humor actually helps to maintain good health.  Laughing lowers stress by reducing four hormones associated with stress response.  They are cortisol, dopac, growth hormone, and epinephrine.  It also increases the level of health-enhancing hormones like endorphins. Laughter increases the number of antibody-producing cells which means a stronger immune system.

Remember to try to find humor in difficult and frustrating situations.  Laughing at ourselves helps us not to sweat the small stuff and it just feels good.  Laughter also helps our muscles relax.  After our muscles tighten from a great belly laugh they then relax more than they were prior to the laughing.  So laugh yourself to tears and be brave enough to laugh at yourself, it will improve your health and possibly decrease hair loss.

Wigs for Cancer Patients

 

Wigs for Cancer Patients

Once you have been diagnosed with cancer, you will soon begin with Chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

As a side effect, you will start to lose hair within 1-2 sessions of your treatment. So the best option you have is to decide what you will need for the hair loss even before your treatment begins.

Consequently, cancer wigs are the best option for you. Many high-quality wigs are easy to wear and look natural. This way you will concentrate more on your healing process rather than worry about the losing hair.

However, hair loss is not a long-term problem, so it is okay to enjoy the hats, wigs and other techniques. The right kind of cancer wig will help you through the process and deal with hair loss gracefully.

 

 

The process of Chemotherapy and radiation treatment

Losing hair in radiation therapy is natural. However, you only lose hair in the areas where the treatment is done. For example, if your treatment is on stomach then you are not likely to lose hair. However, radiation treatment on your head can result in the loss of hair (partly or fully), you may lose your eyebrows and lashes as well. Your hair will start falling within two weeks of your treatment, and you are likely to lose hair quickly as the treatment continues.

A thing to note is that not all drugs from chemotherapy lead to hair loss. Some people suffer just slight thinning that aren’t even noticeable to others. The doctor will let you know whether you will lose hair during your treatment. It is likely that you might lose hair from all part of the body rather losing just from the scalp. You may suffer hair loss from eyebrows, lashes, legs, arms, underarms, and pubic hair. Typically, it will not happen straight away; you will start noticing the hair fall after a couple of treatments. Your hair may fall gradually or all in heavy proportion. The remaining might get dull and dry.

Once you notice hair fall, it is better that you cut them short or shave your hair off entirely. Psychologically, it will help you take the lead in the situation and will make the whole process easier to cope with. As mentioned earlier, you should get your cancer wigs before the treatment so that you can wear as soon as you shave your hair off. However, this doesn’t mean that you don’t have to take care of your scalp, continue washing your scalp with mild shampoo and conditioner. This will aid in circulation and prevent your scalp from drying. If you have a dry scalp just apply some moisturizer it will help you in easing the irritation, but make sure you use a facial moisturizer, body moisturizer is way too oily for the scalp.

Cancer patients claim that their hair grows back once the treatment is complete. However, the regrown hair may be thinner, thicker or have a different texture as well as a color than it was earlier. The doctor usually doesn’t recommend the patients to dye their hair until their hair is grown to normal. This may take 6 months after the completion of the treatment. Many women continue sporting the wigs even when their hair is growing and have grown fully mainly because of the freedom they feel wearing them.

Cancer wigs

Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation treatments result in hair loss, and there is basically nothing that you can do about it. You can get cancer wigs at a very reasonable price. Wigs and hair prosthetics are quite comfortable, lightweight, and safe to wear. Even during heat and humidity, they offer effective ventilation. And you always have the option to customize the wigs according to your needs so that it suits your personality. You can choose for human hair wig or synthetic hair as per your preference.

Choosing the best wig for yourself

Choosing your cancer wig isn’t like choosing any other accessory, it is a much more important process. The wig you will wear will speak a lot about you, and thus it is important to make sure you choose the wig that sends the right message. Of course, choosing the right cancer wig is an involved task, and it is recommended to choose the wig that resembles the natural color of your hair. This will help you and the other people to have a more natural outlook towards your transformation. And obviously choosing a natural color will help you feel more comfortable.

Moreover, a cancer patient has to concentrate on another state of his/her body during the treatment. Apart from hair fall, chemotherapy also results in a paling of the skin, so you want to choose cancer wig that doesn’t spot the change in skin tone. If you don’t find a wig in natural color choose a slightly lighter shade, it will blend well. You have chosen the wig now it is time to know the fit so try it on. Remember there is no shame in trying cancer wigs and it is okay if it doesn’t feel the comfortable right way it takes the time to get used to it. To know which wig is right for you, spin them.

Most of the average cancer wigs suit almost everyone. However, this is not the case always, some wigs may fit you perfectly while some might give you a snug fit. So to get the right size of cancer wig you have to measure your head. With the right measurement, you will be able to find the right sized cancer wig for yourself. However, sometimes even when they are labeled with your size they might fit you well so don’t buy without trying, especially if it is your first one.

Generally, the health insurance companies cover the cancer wigs. It is to be noted that cancer wigs are not always cheap so it natural for people to look for a helping hand. Before taking your insurance benefit make sure that you have a talk with your doctor.

Is your hair “STRESSED OUT” ?

 

Is your hair “STRESSED OUT” ?            

It has been found that cortisone, hormones released during stress, can actually be measured in our hair.  Even though hair consists of dead cells, the hair follicle is actually a living organism, receiving oxygen and nutrients from our bloodstream.  This results in substances like cortisol get into the follicle from blood vessels in the scalp and while the hair grows, the cortisol moves up the strand.  Hair grows on average one centimeter per month, therefore a six centimeter-long hair strand can show cortisol levels over six months.  It now gives a biological marker for chronic stress for the first time.  How much cortisol do you think would be found in your hair and how much does stress relate to your hair loss ?  While your pondering that question, go take a walk and relax a little.  Reply below and let us know how you relieve your stress!

Why are Remi hair wigs the BEST?

Why are Remi Cuticle hair pieces BEST?

 

“Remi Cuticle” is a type of processing done to only the strongest, healthiest, and longest hair.  It is collected from many countries, but in particular it is CUT from the donor ( not collected from their hair brush like so many other non-remi hair types).  Processing then takes place in very small batches by hand, insuring the least amount of damage possible to the hair.  Remi hair has a high shine factor, particularly beneficial for blondes.  It is exceptional for longer hair lengths.  You can expect the least amount of tangling from this hair type.

Today, Remi Hair can come from Brazil, eastern Europe, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mongolia, India or China.  Our vendors do not provide us with the ethnic origin.

Ask your Invisible Hair Restoration consultant for a Remi Cuticle hair piece if you are looking for the healthiest, shiniest, strongest, and longest hair.  Of course, Remi Cuticle hair is also beautiful for medium and shorter lengths.  What’s important is that your Invisible Hair piece makes you look and feel beautiful.  Call for a consultation today!  760-727-9770

Flatter Your Face Shape- Square

SQUARE

Square faces have a strong shape and nice bone structure! Your browbone, cheekbones and jaw tend to have equal width, so adding softness through cut and color can downplay harsh angles and create a flattering look.

HAIR COLOR

Go for  both highlights and lowlights! Ask your Invisible Hair consultant to keep color deeper at the temples and place highlights at the cheekbones to add softness.

HAIRCUT & STYLING 

Keep your hair below your jaw or longer. Haircuts that stop at the jawline can make your face appear more squared-off.

Stay away from cuts with strong lines, such as blunt bangs or a bob—they’re just too angular. Instead, go for side-swept bangs, face-framing layers and romantic waves.

FASHION TIPS

Choose scalloped collars, round or scoop necks, and deep V-necks. All of these necklines add softness to square faces.

Earrings with rounded shapes also help to soften angular faces. Try classic hoops or other curved styles.

Let us assist you in cutting and shaping your Human Hair Wig to enhance your natural beauty!
