Remember the Hair

Friday, April 28th, 2006

HairRemember when it seemed like you had this much hair on your head? I do. I look back at my childhood pictures and I swear that I looked just like this guy. I had too much hair. It was poofy, it was hot, it was everywhere. Today, I have a spot that is getting thinner by the day and to be honest, I have decided to just let it go. I stopped using any kind of hair loss treatments a couple of years ago and since then I have seen my hair revert back to where I figured it would be at this point. So, if you want to keep your hair, don’t stop using the Rogaine, Minoxidil or whatever you are using. For me, I just decided that I was going to go au natural and if it got to a point that it was “bad enough” I decided that I would just shave my head. That is just how I roll.

Black Hair and Hair Loss

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Many black people think that hair loss treatments like Rogaine or Minoxidil are not suitable for use by people of color. However, Rogaine and Minoxidil are suitable for use on both men and women of color just as they are for caucasians. We receive this question pretty frequently, so I thought I would post something here about it. If you have any questions about hair loss or hair loss treatments, please do not hesitate to ask us.

Male Hair Removal on the Rise

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

I guess men are getting into the body hair removal game these days. I used to shave my legs because of cycling, but gave that up years ago. Looks like men are starting to use waxing more and more these days to remove unwanted body hair.

But we must remember that the female preoccupation with advanced technologies in hair removal are a recent phenomenon, too. It could even be argued that all this attention to grooming is a minor rebellion against the major rebellion of the 1960s and ’70s, when hair did double duty as a personal statement and political act.
