Greying of Hairs

Hair colour is produced by cells known as melanocytes, which migrate into the hair bulb as the hair follicles develop in utero. The melanocytes produce pigment that is incorporated into the growing hair fibres to produce hair in a different array of natural shades.

Hair colour depends on the presence and ratios of two groups of melanins: eumelanins (brown and black pigments) and pheomelanins (red and yellow pigments). While variations in the ratio of these pigments can produce an large number of colours and tones, siblings often have strikingly similar hair colour.

Hair colour varies according to body site, with eyelashes being darkest because they contain high levels of eumalanin. Scalp hair is usually lighter than pubic hair, which often has a red tinge, due to the presence of more phaeomelanin pigments. A red tinge is also common in underarm and beard hair, even in people with essentially brown hair on their scalp.

Hair greying is an eventual and irreversible reality of life and is often associated with growing old. he root of every hair strand under the scalp is surrounded by a tube of hair tissue called hair follicle which contains pigment cells. These pigment cells produce the chemical called melanin that gives the hair strand its colour - black, brown, blonde, red et al. 

When a person grows older, these pigment cells begin to die and the melanin production reduces too, making the strand less colourful and more transparent - grey, silver or white. And that is why hair greying is associated with age.
Even though genetics and hereditary factors play a major role in determining the time of your hair turning grey. 

Causes:
A number of medical conditions as well as lifestyle choices have been related to premature greying of hair. 

Medical Conditions:

• Thyroid Disease: An underactive or overactive thyroid can affect the melanin production in the hair which can cause premature greying.

• B12 Deficiency: Deficiency of B12 has also been linked to premature greying of hair.

• Vitiligo: Vitiligo is a disease that is caused when the pigment producing cells in your skin and hair are damaged. Once the cells in your scalp are damaged, melanin production is reduced  and hair begins to turn grey

It is advisable to see a doctor if you experience premature greying of hair and have a reason to believe that it is not hereditary. This is essential so that you can rule out these serious disorders that have caused early hair greying. 
While some medical conditions are the cause for premature greying of hair, it is not always the case. There are a number of lifestyle choices too that have been related to it. 

Does bleach cause harm to your hairs ???

Bleaching and highlighting can cause damage to your hairs. Bleach and highlights remove color from your hair by the process of oxidation. Oxidation decolorizes the pigment in your hair shaft, which is why bleach will turn your hair almost white if it’s left on for too long. Very bleached hair often gains a yellow tint, because keratin (the protein your hair is made of) is naturally a pale yellow.  Hydrogen peroxide and ammonia are the most commonly used ones and are often mixed together, as used separately they’re unstable and very slow in lightening the hair.Of all coloring methods, bleach is potentially the most damaging, and therefore should ideally always be done professionally. Bleaching raises your hairs’ outer cuticle, allowing the bleaching agent to fully penetrate. However, repeated bleaching can permanently raise the cuticle scales and allow rapid and continuous loss of moisture. 

 DAMAGE CAUSED BY BLEACHING 

Damage from bleach includes dry, brittle, inelastic hair, and hair  that is more prone to breakage and split ends. Bleached hair is also more porous and swollen and therefore more vulnerable to other chemical and non-chemical processes. These include everything from permanent wave solutions in curling or straightening to regular heated styling with blow-dryers.

 Bleaches can cause burns to your scalp (or any tissue that it comes in contact with). If you experience any sort of discomfort during processing, you must let your stylist know straight away.The best way to combat dryness, brittleness and breakage is to use a pre-shampoo deep conditioning treatment three days before and also after bleaching or highlighting, and then weekly thereafter. This plumps your hair with moisture, making it more elastic and less likely to snap. The correct pre-shampoo treatments also add shine, manageability and bounce. 

Use a daily damage defence product to keep your hair hydrated, shiny and protected from daily environmental damage. Products like these also help to seal gaps caused by a raised cuticle. While you may not be styling your hair throughout the day, pollution, air conditioning/central heating, wind and UV rays.

Turn off your blow-dryer when your hair is ‘just dry’. Overheating and drying bleached hair further reduces moisture and elasticity. 

Use a smoothing product to help close and smooth your hair cuticle. This will help reduce moisture evaporation and also give your hair a glossier and healthier appearance.

Can different hairstyles cause hair loss ???

Different hairstyles create some impact on your hairs. Hairstyling is the most cause of traction alopecia, it can also follow vigorous combing or brushing, including nit combing.Traction alopecia is the hair loss that occurs after persistent gentle pulling on the roots over several hours or days. 

Even tight ponytails can produce traction alopecia, In addition the tight curls affect how the hair is anchored into the follicle beneath the skin surface.  Hairstyles to control the curl such as braiding and straightening can also lead to mechanical forces being applied to the hair root which cause the hair bulb to gradually separate from the follicle. 

When hair is pulled back in a ponytail, the hairs at the margins of the scalp tend to receive the greatest tensile force and hair loss becomes most noticeable on the scalp margins and the outermost hairs of the braid.  These hairs are lost first, producing a receding hairline and widening of the part lines. Prolonged tension leads to inflammation around the hair follicles that may ultimately produce scarring and lead to permanent hair loss.

Traction eases hairs out of the follicle and patients in the early stages of androgenetic alopecia are more susceptible to traction alopecia.  

Ponytails produce frontal or parietal hair loss.  Tight braiding in cornrows produces a marginal or central alopecia with widening of the part lines.  Twisting hair into a bun on the top of the head can produce a horseshoe alopecia in the centre of the scalp.

People with traction alopecia should visit to the dermatologist for assessment, as many have associated early androgenetic alopecia which requires separate treatment.

EFFECTS OF SMOKING DURING RECOVERY OF HAIR TRANSPLANT

For all those suffering from the embarrassment of baldness, surgical hair restoration is no less than a blessing. A hair transplant surgery not only allows you to get the locks back but also your lost self confidence and self esteem as well. It usually takes 8 to 12 months before a person starts enjoying full results of the treatment. One thing that you have to strictly avoid before and after surgery is smoking.People usually believe that the hazardous effects of smoking are limited mouth, lungs and heart only, which is not the case in reality.

Cigarettes that you smoke before a transplant will adversely affect your hair transplantation, whereas smoking after the surgery has some serious consequences on hair transplant recovery. 

Healthy blood circulation to the scalp is absolutely essential for the survival of hair follicles just transplanted. But it is proven that nicotine in cigarettes constricts blood vessels, affecting their ability to supply blood to different parts of the body, including your scalp. Anything that affects blood circulation in the body can affect healing process time. If you will smoke after hair transplant, it will affect blood supply to the scalp, causing the newly transplanted follicles to worn out and die even before they begin to grow in their new locations.

In fact, smoking should be avoided after any surgery, regardless of how invasive or minimally invasive it is, therefore for better growth and to increase the longevity of the treatment , one has to discontinue this habit.

Does Laser Therapy really work ???

Low level laser  therapy, is basically a therapy used to control hairfall and increase the density of the concerned area. It is a process in which photons are irradiated into the human tissue to be absorbed by weak cells so that they can regain their health. This allows them to regain functionality and make sure the body can return to its regular processes. While this isn’t always specifically directed at regrowing hair, if applied correctly, it can have positive effects on hair regrowth.It helps in adding volume and thickness to your hairs.

The success rate of laser hair therapy varies greatly from person to person depending on the severity of your hair loss. 

 It is a treatment that is now commonly available in order to stimulate hair growth and help fight against hair loss and thinning hair. Laser hair therapy treatment is often used in combination with other treatments too i.e Mesotherapy.

It is one of the easiest and safest method for increasing the shelf life of your hairs and is economical as well.

Are hair straightening treatments actually worth it?

Are hair straightening treatments actually worth it?

#Hairstraightening treatments are a heavy chemical process wherein chemicals are applied on hair to break the bonds and turn the curls to get poker straight hair. However, do you know that if not done properly and at a good salon, hair straightening can cause serious damage to your hair?

Side effects

*Chemically treated hair needs proper care. If you fail to follow the instructions given by your hair expert post straightening, you will experience excessive dryness. Dry hair tends to be more brittle and starts looking frizzy even if you have straightened the hair only a few weeks back.

* Chemicals applied during straightening should not touch the scalp and roots as it touches the scalp it can lead to itchy scalp, dandruff, redness and rashes are common.

* Frequent touch-ups and hair straightening treatments can lead to damage of hair follicles leading to hair fall.

* Greying of hair is also one side effect of chemical treatment especially if the products used are spurious.

Hair loss and dryness increase if you use chemical relaxers on already damaged scalp or unhealthy chemically treated hair. Speak to your stylist in detail about the pros and cons of the treatment before opting for it.

Think about these side effects before you choose hair straightening.

HAIR LOSS TESTS AND DIAGNOSIS :-

HAIR LOSS TESTS AND DIAGNOSIS :-

Generally, reasons for hairloss remain unclear , before making any diagnosis, your doctor would likely ask you about your medical as well as family history. He or she may also perform tests, such as the following:-

1.Blood test. This may help uncover medical conditions related to hair loss, such as thyroid disease.

2.Pull test. Your doctor gently pulls several dozen hairs to see how many come out. This helps determine the stage of the shedding process.

3.Scalp biopsy. Your doctor scrapes samples from the skin or from a few hairs plucked from the scalp to examine the hair roots. This can help determine whether an infection is causing hair loss.

4.Light microscopy. Your doctor uses a special instrument to examine hairs trimmed at their bases. Microscopy helps uncover possible disorders of the hair shaft.

Signs of an Unhealthy scalp.....

3 signs of an unhealthy scalp :-

Much like the soil of a plant, the health of your scalp is an important part of the health of your hair. Without a healthy scalp, with clean and open pores you may struggle to attain your hair goal. Our hair grows from our scalp, so we better take care of our scalp first in order to get healthy hairs.

1. Itching and/or Burning

An itchy scalp isn’t just annoying, it’s a sign of an unhealthy scalp. Often this itch is caused by chemical irritation and can even be a sign of an allergic reaction. Chemical shampoos and hair products strip the oil of the scalp which can leave it needing some moisture.

2. Excess Oil and Oily Scalp

Your scalp is not naturally regulating its own sebaceous oil production and is attempting to recreate the oils being stripped by chemical shampoos. In other words, each time you wash your hair with a sulfate shampoo it strips the hair of all oils forcing your scalp to go into panic mode and produce excess oil.

3. Flaking and Dandruff

Dandruff is one of the most common signs of an unhealthy scalp and is often associated with itching. Chemical hair products disrupt the natural acidity and pH balance of the hair and can lead to a very unhealthy scalp. This natural hair acidity prevents fungi and bacteria in the hair and scalp, and keeps the cuticle closed and healthy. When the scalp is too alkaline it may begin to separate and shed flakes.

An unhealthy scalp is annoying and can be harmful to your hair growth. The first and most important part of creating healthy “soil” for your hair is removing chemicals from your hair care routine.

FUT OR FUE ... which is better ??????

FUT or FUE .....which is better ?? 

It ls the one of the common question which comes in mind of every individual person who is looking for Hair Transplant. Another is what is Hair Transplant & how does it actually works ?

Lets discuss these common queries ...

Hair Transplant  is a surgical treatment to regrow hair on the bald area of the scalp by grafting donor hair. It involves taking hair follicles tissues from scalp area that is unaffected by hair loss pattern and is resistant to hormonal changes that causes hair loss. Those donor hair follicles tissues are then grafted on the bald scalp area to re-start the hair growth cycle. There are two methods used by surgeons for removing hair grafts — Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).

FUT is suitable for:

• Patients who have large bald areas and prefer covering it in single sitting transplant surgery.

• Patients who aren’t bothered about cuts, stitches and are mentally prepared for long recovery process that may take several months.

FUE is suitable for:

• People who want faster recovery.

• People who are scared of cuts and stitches on the scalp, as this method doesn’t need any cutting or stitches.

FUT is a traditional and older technique used for hair transplant in which a thin strip of scalp cut from the area where hair loss is not in effect and has healthy hair growth. Then this cut strip of scalp is dissected into graft.

 On the other side FUE is a new technique in which a specialized hair follicle extraction machine is used to harvest follicular units/grafts from hair-bearing scalp area. This procedure is lot more precise and less painful. In fact patients doesn’t even feel any pain with local anesthetic effect.

Besides the technique used in FUT and FUE for taking donor hair tissues, rest of the hair grafting procedure is pretty much similar. Both the techniques requires cuts on the bald scalp areas by using extremely fine blades and needles. After these cuts and slits are made, donor hair grafts are inserted in the scalp area where hair loss has occurred.

Benefits of FUT Technique:

FUT method is generally suggested by the surgeons to patients who have large bald areas, because with FUT technique large areas can be covered a lot faster and require fewer sittings.

Benefits of FUE Technique:

Given the fact Follicular Unit Extraction method does not require surgery for taking strip of donor hair-bearing scalp, there is no need for making cuts and stitches in this technique, therefore it is a less painful.

No stitches and cuts means there won’t be linear scars, and this method also take less time time, which means the patients can go home next day and may even return to work.

Both FUT and FUE techniques require surgery for hair transplant, therefore it suggested to thoroughly consult with the surgeon about the advantages and disadvantages of both the methods before you pick one. Generally a hair transplant surgery takes several hours for the entire process of taking donor hair and grafting them on bald area, therefore it is important to schedule your work for the day accordingly and be prepared mentally for long procedure of surgery.

After Surgery Care

You must listen and understand the post hair transplant surgery instructions given by the surgeons to take care of hair grafts otherwise you have to face consequences. After surgery, for few days there will be some swelling on scalp and face, which is normal and fades away in few days. Your surgeon would describe your antibiotics, anti-inflammation medicines and painkillers for few days and he may also ask you to use Minoxidil or Finasteride as well.

Newly implanted hair grafts are applied with a liquid for nourishment for few days repeatedly. Grafted hair are washed with mild diluted shampoo with extreme care so that it doesn’t affect or disturb the grafts. These grafted hair naturally fall off in couple of weeks, and after that new hair growth cycle is started that can be seen on the scalp in 3-6 months. Particularly in FUT technique post surgery care for the scars is highly imperative to prevent infection. In this method sutures are removed in a week’s time.

People often do not know the fundamental difference difference between FUE & FUT & there is discussion among many which is the most effective method to get the best Hair Transplant results. But the Reality is both are effective & when combined together in the hands of an experienced Hair Transplant specialist it can give the most effective one time Hair Transplant Solution.
