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.

Hair Cuts at the Center of Controversy…Again

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

Why is it that haircuts are so important to people in “positions of authority”? It seems that this has been the basis for so many arguments and controversies. A school in Liverpool is facing legal action after they excluded seven students from lessons for five days after the students refused to cut their hair at the request of the school. The really funny part is that the parents agreed to this nonsense when they enrolled their kids in the school, now they are suing. Comedy.

A SCHOOL in Liverpool is facing legal action after seven pupils were excluded from lessons for five days for refusing to cut their hair. One of them, Christian Bridge, 14, was thrown out of class for his shoulder-length hair after being told last term it was acceptable to have it tied back. His brother Dominic, 16, is also facing exclusion for his hairstyle. The year 11 and year 9 pupils at St Margaret’s Church of England voluntary aided school, Aigburth Road, are among a total of seven pupils who been excluded from school for five days. Story continues One father of a pupil will be meeting solicitors today to pursue legal action against the boys’ school..

Another Reason to Use Minoxidil Instead of Propecia

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

I am one of those people who doesn’t like to take any type of medication that I don’t have to. This is really about putting things into my body that can chemically change the way normal body functions work.  I also have a large number of allergies and I have learned over the years that I can control them mostly by remaining calm, not touching my eyes, scratching, or paying attention to the allergic reactions that I may be having. This may sound silly, but it is very effective. But, back to the point of this post.  Many of you probably know that Zach Lund, Olympic skeleton slider, tested positive for a banned substance Finasteride (commercially known as Propecia) and subsequently banned from competition in the current Olympic games.  Now, I am of the firm belief that if you are an Olympic athlete, you need to been (and most likely are) uniquely concious about what you put in your body (when it comes to medication…especially those that end with steride), for obvious reasons. Now, who is to blame and why is not the point here. My point is simply that Minoxidil and Rogaine are a much better alternative as they are not on the Olympic’s banned substances list. So, if you are an Olympic athlete and losing your hair, the choice is clear.

UK Researches May Have Found a “Hairless” Gene

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Researchers in the UK may have found a gene that will help scientists to better understand hair loss in human beings in the near future. At this point, scientists are still unsure of the exact resons why men and women lose their hair. The discovery of a gene that helps to repress a protein linked to hair loss may prove to be a major breakthrough in the years to come. In a nutshell, the gene represses the production of a protein called, wise. Wise may cause hair follicles to stop producing new hair once old hair is shed. This is a disruption in the normal hair growth process which includes growth, regression and rest phases.

Diet Can Affect Hair Loss

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

I guess we don’t really talk about what can cause hair loss enough and I often take my years of experience helping people cope and treat hair loss for granted. So, today when I came across an article about diet and hair loss I thought I would write a little more about it here. The article in the Post Gazette has some great information. Most people do not realize that a healthy diet is probably the most important thing to normal, healthy body functions, right there with adequate sleep. Most people don’t seem to think that eating pizza every day or not getting enough sleep on a regular basis can really affect their bodies in a negative way. One of the ways our bodies let us know that we are not doing something right is by showing signs of illness, allergic reactions and hair loss. As the article points out, both men and women are affected by hair loss from improper or inadequate diets. Most of the people who notice this and seek treatment however are women. Men probably just figure that they are losing their hair for hereditary reasons, but many times, the reason may be from their diet.
