| The mythology of hair has come down to us through the ages - from Sampson, whose hair was his power, to Rapunzel, who lowered her locks down from the tower for the sake of true love. Hair is part of our personal mythology whether we like it or not. We attach much of our sense of self to our hair. That's why, when Hair Loss occurs, through natural genetics or through some medical crisis, it can have a devastating effect on our self image.Hair Replacement today is far different from hair replacement of years ago. But memories of bad toupees and wigs are still clear in our memories. Today, leading hair replacement experts have re-engineered hair replacement technology. First, it is critical that you know your own needs. There are hair replacement products to fit almost everyone, from those who have only patchy hair loss (there are Hair Extensions) to full medical alopecia (or complete hair loss) which might require a more extensive Hair System.Hair Loss Basics If You Want to Stop Hair LossFirst let me explain hair growth, hair actually is formed at the base of a hair follicle. A follicle is like a pouch that is located below the skin. What we usually call hair is actually the hair shaft, which is hardened tissue that grows from a follicle.As you know our head contains thousands of hair follicles. Did you know that not all of them are not active at the same time? It's true. Studies proved that not more than 80% of our follicles are producing hair growth at any one time. The remaining 20% of the follicles are asleep or dormant.Impact of Hair Loss and� Hair RegenerationHair loss affects many women and even more men by the middle years of life. While it rarely signifies a serious medical problem, it can be emotionally devastating to some people. Some will simply accept the process as a fact of life; they don't like losing their hair, but realize it is part of the life cycle and try to cope with it. Others will deny or hide the fact that hair loss is occurring. In fact, while as many as half of all men will experience some degree of male pattern baldness by the time they hit fifty, less than 10% of those men will discuss the problem with their doctor.Still others will become depressed or anxious about their hair loss, especially if they are involved in careers where physical appearance plays a significant role. Some have difficulty dealing with the idea that the aging process is occurring and they have no control over it.Read About Natural supplements, Herbal RemediesAlso Read About weight lossAnd libido enhancer for females |
