Cancer Treatment Improves Hair Retention

October 17th, 2005

Researchers attempting to minimize hair loss associated with cancer radiation treatments have apparently found some success with existing “intensity modulated radiation therapy” (IMRT) with “image-guided radiation therapy” (IGRT) technologies. Better targeting of the radiation has apparently enabled researchers to attack the tumors and leave surrounding tissue containing hair follicles alone. If this proves true, this will be a great help to the mindset and mental health of people undergoing radiation treatment in the future.

Hair Loss in Women

October 4th, 2005

As I have stated here in the past, women’s hair loss can be caused by a number of different factors. I just came across this women’s hair loss article that talks about the many different causes of female hair loss. As with men, stress can cause the body to have all kinds of problems including loss of hair. But, in women, there are a myriad of other physiological factors that can contribute to hair loss. Some of which products like Rogaine for Women or Minoxidil for Women will not help with.

UK Researches May Have Found a “Hairless” Gene

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

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.

Or, you can just order it because you like the effect that it has on your hair loss and scalp.

Grapefruit Makes Women “Seem” Younger to Men

June 21st, 2005

In a Grapefruit study conducted by the Smell and Taste Institute in Chicago found that men who smelled the scent of Grapefruit on women thought they appeared 6 years younger than they actually were, on average. However, the opposite did not hold true for men. I guess women are a lot smarter than men are when it comes to smells. :)
