What Does Male Pattern Baldness Look Like?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Male Pattern baldness refers to the way in which a man loses hair in a certain pattern when they have genetic hair loss This balding occurs in patches and may eventually cause complete hair loss The pattern the balding takes only occurs in men This balding may occur as early as the age 25 and always began by the time the man is 30. It is likely that a man with genetic hair loss will be completely bald by the age 60. This can seem devastating to a man but there are treatments available to prevent further balding. Male Pattern Baldness begins with the receding and thinning of the hair line. This usually begins between the ages of 25 and 30. The thinning hair line is often ignored but should be taken much more seriously, as it is the first sign of male pattern baldness. By recognizing this first signs, a man may be able to receive treatment before the hair loss becomes too obvious. Next, small patches of hair will begin to thin around the crown of the scalp. At this point the hair loss is becoming obvious and treatment should be considered a necessity if one wishes to keep their hair. Unfortunately, if ignored, the balding will get only continue to worsen. These patches will continue to develop until the entire crown of the head is bald, leaving hair around only the edges At this point it is too late for most treatments though hair restoration surgery or plugs may still be an option (if one has the money to replace all the hair that been lost) Men with this type of baldness will try treatment of all forms After all, the first stages of male pattern baldness happen to young men. Who doesn’t want to keep their hair. Because the baldness from male pattern balding is permanent, a long term solution is most viable. Get the facts.

Have a good one,

Goatee Grooming: The Art of Growing A Goatee

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Goatee ShapingI use an electrical shaver and find it works quite well to shape my goatee I simply shave around my goatee when shaving my face each morning Using a manual razor can also work very well since it allows to quickly and cleanly shape your goatee A manual razor is also good for hard to reach areas such as the areas beside each side of your nose. A new manual razor I’ve seen advertised has a special trimming blade that looks like it could be very helpful for goatee shaping since it would enable you to shape your goatee cleanly and quickly. If you can find a clear gel or shaving oil, it’s probably better to use than a regular shaving foam cream. Once you’ve covered your skin with the foam, it’s hard to see what you’re shaving to ensure your goatee is symmetrical. Goatee TrimmingMy suggestion is to buy an electric trimmer for goatee trimming. I bought a $20 cordless goatee trimmer two years ago after spending way too much time trimming my goatee with scissors. Using a goatee trimmer like the one I have ensures that your goatee is symmetrical and neat. Also, the built in length selector enables me to select the length of the hair rather than guessing with a pair of scissors. My trimmer gives me three different length choices. Bottom LineThe bottom line is that to avoid having to spend a lot of time and effort on goatee grooming, getting an electric trimmer is probably your best bet. Remember to wash your goatee when you’re washing your face, too Depending on how thick and how bushy your facial hair grows, goatees can take different shapes and forms

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

The solution for falling hair can be a combination of medicines as prescribed by the doctor and good nutrition coupled with good grooming. Use only good quality shampoos and oil. Comb the hair gently with a god comb. Dry the hair after a head bath and then comb gently. Do not leave the hair unattended for long periods of time as this may lead to the hair becoming sticky and rough hair leading to hair loss. Identify the factors for falling hair before looking for a solution for your falling hair The cause varies form individual to individual It could be any one of the below mentioned causes or a combination of factors that lead to falling hair Stress, hormonal imbalance, ailments like Typhoid, nutritional deficiency, deficiency of Folic acid, effects of Chromotheraphy, treatment for cancer and pregnancy. Some of the solutions for falling hair can be found at home. Use oil with extracts of Amla, or hibiscus. A combination of medicines and home remedies would be the ideal solution for falling hair. However, there is no quick fix solution to falling hair. Regular and timely care is the only lasting solution to falling hair. Limejuice can be applied to the scalp and allowed to dry for some time before taking a head bath. This will arrest fling hair by keeping the scalp clean and healthy. You can also apply a paste of Fenugreek seeds soaked overnight and apply it all over the scalp. Allow it to sink in for about an hour before taking a bath. Applying coconut milk all over the scalp is also another effective solution for falling hair. Using castor oil as hair oil regularly will also help in preventing hair from falling.

Have fun,

The Art Of Sugaring

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

How sweet it is Sugaring is a process that is similar to waxing, but the ingredients are different Sugaring gets it name from the fact that wax is replaced with a mixture of sugar and honey The resulting goo sticks to the hairs and not to the skin. In the end, you still end up ripping out you hair by the roots, so pain levels run about the same as waxing. Most people find that sugaring works best on hair that grows on the upper lip and the bikini line. It’s a relatively messy process, so do it in the bathroom or some other area where clean-up will not be a problem. Regardless of where you do it, the results last for two to six weeks. Actually, fine hair will start to show around two weeks after the procedure is done, and the thicker, darker hair growth becomes apparent about four weeks later or so. Homemade formulas work fine. You can easily make your own sugaring solution right at home. You need 1 cup of white sugar, juice from 1/2 of a lemon, 1/4 cup of honey. Mix the lemon juice, sugar and honey in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture just begins to bubble and turns smooth Turn off the microwave and leave the bowl alone until the mixture has had time to cool down to a safe handling temperature This could be 5 minutes or more Besides the actual sugaring formula, you’ll need some wooden tongue depressors to apply the mixture, some corn starch to help prepare the skin, and some strips of white cotton cloth. An old undershirt works fine. Ready, set go. Make sure that the area to be treated is clean and dry. There should be no residue from soap or body lotions. Apply a dusting of cornstarch to the area to be treated. This will help remove excess oils from your skin. Using the tongue depressor, or another suitable applicator, spread a thin layer of the mixture over the area to be treated.

Take Care,
Jerica

The Top 10 Hair Removal Methods - Which Is Right For You?

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Do you have unwanted body hair Are you trying to choose between hair removal methods This guide contains all you need to decide It details several popular as well as not-so-common methods of getting rid of unwanted hair, including shaving, plucking, waxing, sugar waxing, bleaching, threading, depilatories, electrolysis, laser, and vaniqa. ShavingShaving is a temporary hair removal method. It is inexpensive, but for most people the hair has started to grow back by the following day. To prevent stubble, you must shave once or twice daily. Razors come in all varieties. They can be made of cheap plastic with a single blade which can be bought for a quarter, or a high quality electric version costing $50 or more. PluckingAnother common hair removal method is plucking, or tweezing, the hair. While this method is time consuming, as you can only pluck one hair at a time, it is useful for smaller areas, such as an extra eyebrow hair or two. However, it can be painful, especially around the eyes, and can cause irritation and ingrown hairs. While it is a myth that by plucking a hair out by its root you are causing two to grow in its place, many women do not pluck their hair for this very reason. But investing in a $2 pair of tweezers is a lifesaver when you want to look perfect for that special occasion WaxingFor larger areas, many people prefer to use hot wax The wax is applied to the skin with a piece of paper or cloth covering it After the wax cools, the strip is ripped away, taking the hair with it. While this method is fast, it can also be painful. In addition, waxing removes the top layer of skin, and can cause rashes and redness. However, once you become good at the technique, it is an easy and inexpensive way to quickly get rid of unwanted hair at home. Kits can be purchased for $20-$40. You can also have your skin waxed by a professional. Depending on the area you are having waxed, this can cost from $20 to around $150. Sugar WaxingSugar waxing is similar in method to traditional waxing, except that the “wax” is a sticky sugary paste. Sugaring is even less expensive, as home kits can be bought for as little as $10. BleachingRather than removing the hair, some women prefer to lighten it. This is especially common for women with facial hair. Bleaching is completely pain-free, and can be done at home. Most women do not have any skin reactions to the bleach; however, as with a hair dye, be sure to test first on a small, inconspicuous part of your skin, just in case the bleach does change your skin color or cause irritation. ThreadingThreading, also known as khite, is commonly practiced in the Middle East but much less well-known in the west. It is performed using a cotton thread. The thread is twisted, catching the hair, and is then pulled to remove it. The results are similar to plucking, but many more hairs can be removed at one time. Always use cotton so the fibers themselves do not irritate the skin. DepilatoriesDepilatories are creams that dissolve hair, allowing it to be wiped away. For some people, depilatories last no longer than shaving, while others are hair-free for several days. The process is not always painless, but is definitely less painful than waxing. The creams can be bought for a few dollars at any drug store. ElectrolysisElectrolysis is a permanent hair removal method. A needle is placed in a hair follicle and electric current is delivered to the follicle. This damages the hair, and it does not return. This method works well for small localized areas of hair, but can be time consuming and costly for large patches, as each hair must be done individually. Also, if the needle is not inserted just right, the hair may need to be retreated, and often an area must be treated three to four times before the hair is permanently removed. While the needle should not puncture the skin, electrolysis can be painful. It is recommended that electrolysis be done by a professional; home treatment methods are difficult and generally unsuccessful. Laser Hair RemovalLaser hair removal is another permanent hair removal method. It is a more recent method, and data as to its long-term effectiveness is still being gathered. Light from a laser is pointed at a small area of skin.
