Hair loss is one of the most devastating experiences one can go through. It can add to psychological scarring of a person, especially in those who are incurring the problem as a side effect of a long term medical ailment. Chemo-radiation is one of the causes for losing one’s hair, both in adults and children. Many people find it difficult and awkward to fit into the normal social life comfortably after undergoing such treatment that leave them with little or no hair. Chemotherapy wigs help in restoring the person’s lost confidence and self esteem to certain extent.

There are various other options for post-chemotherapy patients. The good thing is that a few months after the treatment hair growth naturally occurs. However, the process is much slower and the person might need to follow certain specifications to aid the growth. The hair growth would be thin and many people also suffer from graying of their hair and coloring of the hair is not permitted till after the first few months. In the meantime a chemotherapy wig can be used to cover the scalp. Many companies manufacture and sell specialized chemotherapy wigs for cancer patients and these are a cheaper, effective alternative to other options such as surgical hair replacement and so on.

While opting for chemotherapy wigs, one needs to keep certain aspects in mind -

*Human hair chemotherapy wigs are much preferred compared to synthetic ones. The hair prosthetic needs to allow ample breathing space for the scalp. Synthetic ones may sometimes cause discomfort in this area.

*Look out for a system that would allow performance of daily tasks such as showering and sleeping without any hindrance.

*Your wig should look natural and it should be of the right density, style and color to suit one’s face and personality.

*A job done professionally will do wonders in boosting one’s self image and will speed up the recovery process. One will be able to fit in the mainstream social life easily and things will get back to normal pretty soon.

Hairdresser’s like Trevor Sorbie has a charity called My New Hair which trains hairdressers to cut and shape chemotherapy wigs to make them look more like a real mane for patients. His work has brought smile on faces of many cancer patients.

If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional hair prosthetic clinic then Sure Hair International® can give you the satisfaction of the finest human hair chemotherapy wigs with their NT medical hair systems.

Most men are prone to a male pattern hair loss known as androgenic alopecia. To understand this kind of loss better a new kind of test from Hair DX predicts this hair loss. This test is not only for men but also for women. With the help of this test you can not only identify the causes for hair loss but also the different types of it.

This new genetic hair loss testing from Hair DX identifies whether the androgenic receptor gene is present or absent in a person. If the gene is present in a man then there is a 60% chance that he will go bald by the age of 40. On the other hand if the gene is absent then there is 85% chance that he will not go bald by the age of 40.

In case of women this test provides a CAG score. With the help of this score helps in analyzing the female pattern of hair loss, it causes, and its types. The more the CAG score the lesser is the chance of hair loss. Hence, the CAG score is inversely proportional to hair loss in women – if a woman has a low CAG score then there is high probability that she will be a victim to hair loss. The amount of hair loss is distinct in the Ludwig Scale grade II or III. This test is conducted on people who have still not faced hair loss. This helps them to take better care of their hair.

The hair loss treatments include the Hairmax laser comb, Propecia, Surethik scalp cleansers, DHT blocking serums, and many more.

Before you opt for drugs or surgery as a solution to prevent hair loss, try using natural hair regrowth solutions. In most cases, the natural products are able to arrest hair fall and improve the overall hair health. Traditionally, natural products, such as aloe vera, rosemary and jojoba oil, were used to keep the hair dense and shiny. Even today, these natural products are used in various hair regrowth solutions to stimulate hair growth. Massaging and exercising are also effective natural hair regrowth techniques.

Natural Hair Regrowth: Applying Natural Products

Some of the effective and popular natural hair regrowth solutions used today include:

Rosemary and Sage: These herbs are mainly used as tonics and stimulants. A concoction of these two herbs, with peach leaf, nettle and burdock in boiling water, when used to wash hair helps prevent hair loss and stimulates natural hair regrowth.

Burdock, Nettle and Cayenne: These herbs work together to remove body toxins and stimulate hair regrowth.

Spirulina: Spirulina is a storehouse of nutrients, which include predigested proteins, amino acids, chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, Vitamin A, E and B complex and beta-carotene. This makes Spirulina an essential ingredient of all natural hair regrowth solutions.

Kelp: It includes the large, brown seaweeds that are rich in around 30 vital minerals. Kelp is mainly used as a dietary supplement and helps prevent hair loss and hair thinning.

Jojoba Oil: The best remedy to control dandruff, it also enhances hair growth. Jojoba oil is useful for people with hypoallergenic skin, since it is also a great moisturizer.

Henna: It is a natural conditioner that helps maintain healthy hair and prevents hair breakage. Henna heals the hair shaft by repairing and sealing the cuticle. It also cures the scalp of fungal infections and allergies.

Natural Hair Regrowth: Massages and Exercises

Massages and exercises aid natural hair regrowth because:

Massages: Massaging your scalp every day for at least a couple of minutes helps enhance blood flow to the hair follicles and supports hair growth.

Exercises: Exercising is not directly related to hair growth. However, regular doses of exercise benefit the body, including the scalp and hair. Regular exercises also improve oxygen supply to the cells and aids digestion. Improved digestion results in enhanced nutrient absorption into the body and consequently, the growth of healthy hair.

Laser Comb

The use of laser technology has graduated from their applicability in sports medicine and ophthalmology to the domains of hair strengthening and hair loss prevention. The laser comb is a product that utilizes laser technology to restore health, lustre, sheen and volume to the natural hair. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves laser comb as a safe technology.

Laser Comb: Advantages
Here are certain benefits of using laser comb for hair growth:

· Convenient to use, with no known side effects.
· Use thrice a week, 15 minutes at a time, to produce visible results.
· It is a home treatment, which means it can be used in the privacy of our homes.
· Positive results within a few months of usage.

Laser Comb: How it Works
The laser comb deploys a specific wavelength of light to energize the hair, which results in better growth phase for the hair. Most users reported thicker and fuller hair, as a result of using laser comb.

The comb delivers the nourishing effects of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to the hair follicles. The comb produces a beam of light which pierces the targeted cells, saturating them with the necessary energy. The blood supply to the hair follicles also increases, stimulating hair growth. You can compare this process to the recharging of a battery.

Laser Comb: How to Use
The technique of using laser comb is somewhat different from that of a regular comb. Place the laser comb flat on your head and deploy the glide method i.e. place it on a specific spot on your scalp and gently glide it back half an inch after regular intervals. Move from the front of your scalp to the back, and then repeat the process moving the comb in the opposite direction.

Laser Comb: Safety Features
A quality laser comb includes safety features, such as frequency alert, proximity detection, session management and computer-managed exposure programs. It produces a power level of energy that is safe, harmless and effective.

Laser Comb: Usage Tips
· For those below 18 years of age, consult a physician before using the laser comb.
· Wash your hair regularly while using the laser comb. This would ensure absence of hindrances in the way of the laser light reaching the hair follicles.
· Clean your laser comb with a damp cloth before and after use.
· Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and hair care products on your scalp while using the laser comb.

Initially, the clinic only offered non surgical hair systems. In 1996 with the introduction of microscopes to hair transplantation, Sure Hair began exploring and researching surgical hair transplant procedures. The company has now grown to three locations in the GTA with a modern state-of-the-art surgical center next to the Humber River Hospital, in the medical building at Hwy 400 and Finch.

We have since performed over 1500 successful hair transplants, without one report of hair not growing. We are very proud of our success in this area. Sure Hair is now a teaching facility for out of town doctors looking to learn about our new Uni-Stand method of hair transplantation developed by Dr. Nelson Ferreira M.D – Medical Director of Sure Hair. Dr. Ferreira joined Sure Hair in 2005. We are very excited at some of the new developments Dr. Ferreira has brought to the center, both improving the density of our hairlines, and increasing patient comfort with his proprietary ‘’gentle touch technique’’.

The Mississauga, Concord, Hamilton, Kitchener and London locations all offer a wider range of services such as treating early hair loss with Surethik products, FDA approved laser treatments and our exclusive NT hair systems for men and women. We are considered pioneers in this area in Canada and have treated over 5000 clients, both men and women, with various treatments. We employ over 25 people in our locations and have a dedicated team of hair care professionals that always put our clients first.
