What to Do (and What Not to Do!)

Every person that has gone through a hair transplant procedure will know and can vouch that is a simple surgery in the hands of clinics that can master these techniques and have plenty advice for newbies. You researched and researched; you weighted your options and finally had that long-awaited hair transplant.

Hair transplant is a permanent method of hair restoration using your existing hair. The growth is permanent as donor hair taken from the back of the scalp, has a lifetime permanency in contrast to the hair on top of the scalp, which is lost due to genetic makeup. The transplanted hair starts following its normal growth cycle approximately three months after the procedure.

Hair is made from a protein known as keratin. The hair shaft is made up of three layers, known as the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla. The outer layer is the cuticle which is composed of overlapping cells which are like fish scales. The cortex comprises the hair’s main bulk and colour cells. The medulla is the inner layer and is a thin core of transparent cells and air spaces.

A prospective patient, who starts researching hair transplants and consults a hair restoration specialist, will already have a set of reasons for seeking hair restoration. The majority of patients tend to be men and they are usually looking to improve their overall appearance. It is probably in both the patient's and the physician’s interest to clarify those expectations right from the start and then discuss the available surgical options. A patient's reasons for seeking hair restoration contribute to shaping his expectations.

(1) Hair Myth - Washing hair daily makes the hair fall out more

It most certainly does not. We all loose hair daily and it is normally replaced. Sometimes when we are loosing more hair than usual due to some metabolic reason we are scared to shampoo because of the amount we see coming out. Shampooing will loosen the hair that are already in their telogen (final) stage and ready to come out. 

In the last few years, numerous favourite male celebrities have been providing exciting material for the press either for tabloids, gossip rags or even the Financial Times. It appears that celebrity hair transplants generate more interest and web hits than any sordid extra marital affair, cocaine addiction or wearing women’s lingerie has done in the past.

The recent coverage in media of celebrities having hair transplants to regain what nature so viciously took away has surprised almost everyone. A famous person already has an elevated status that to us commoners may seem that they could achieve and sustain without the trimmings. What we neglect to consider is whether a successful person either in the entertainment industry, business or even politics can retain their status if they were bald.

Androgenetic alopecia is the medical term for the type of hair loss that leads to common baldness. It is also known as male pattern hair loss. The main reason for this type of hair loss is genetic factors that cause certain hair follicles to become over sensitive to the male hormone called dihydrotestosterone. Genes will determine when the hair loss will begin, how quickly it will progress and the extent of hair loss that will occur.

Post partum alopecia is the medical term that is used for hair loss suffered by many women after giving birth. It can be extremely distressing and frightening, leading many women to believe that they are actually going bald as they see hairs clog up the sink and brushes on a daily basis. The good news is that this type of hair loss is temporary and as the hairs fall, new hairs will start to grow in their place.
