For my clients with hair loss, I suggest Men's ROGAINE© Foam. It helps stop hair loss and is the only FDA-approved foam that is clinically proven to regrow hair. ?My clients who use it consistently twice a day everyday have seen improvement in as quickly as four months? and I have been using it myself for two years and I definitely notice the difference,? adds Priano.
?Fine, thinning hair is already fragile and can be further damaged by over washing, over brushing or over combing,? says Priano. Try these surefire tips to keep the hair you have healthy and strong: When washing thinning hair, take extra care. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which roughs up the hair cuticle. Instead, gently massage a mild, volumizing shampoo into the scalp and follow with a light conditioner. (Conditioner smoothes down the cuticle to help protect hair against further damage.) Then, gently towel dry.When choosing a brush for thinning hair, look for a plastic brush with rounded tips (despite popular belief, plastic with rounded tips is more gentle than bristles.) Protect your hair and scalp from the sun. Exposure to UV makes hair more brittle, so look for UV protectant styling products and wear a hat when you are in the direct sun. This will protect your scalp from burning as well.?A healthy diet and vitamin supplements can help too,? says Priano. ?Eat a balanced diet and take a good multi-vitamin every day.? Look for foods that are high in protein (like fish, eggs, beans and yogurt).
?There are a few different ways to cut and style men's hair to help it appear thicker,? says Priano. He suggests: A cropped, layered cut for straight hair A short to medium layered cut for curly hairRemember: everyone's hair is different, so work closely with your stylist for a look that fits you best.
?If you are thinning on top, don't over blow dry the hair. Instead, keep it close to the scalp (like I do) and let it dry naturally.?
?Hair color can also play a big part in masking hair loss,? says Priano. ?Darker shades play up the contrast between hair and scalp, while lighter shades that are closer to your skin tone can actually help camouflage thinning hair,? adds Priano. Tips for Everyday ROGAINE© Use
ROGAINE© can be an easy and simple part of your daily grooming routine. ?My daily routine is just a quick shower, towel dry my hair, apply Men's ROGAINE© Foam to the scalp and follow with a styling cream. Then, I let my hair dry naturally. At night, when I brush my teeth, I just apply the product and I'm off to bed?? says Priano.
ROGAINE© can be used on color treated or permed hair. ?The only thing I suggest is not to use it on the day you have the actual treatment, if you are concerned about scalp irritation.?

Oct 26, Death of a friend leads to hair loss
by Sandra
(Austin, Texas, USA)
I've noticed past, extreme sudden hair loss a bit after minor surgery, child birth twice, as well as crash diets. I'm 33 years old and have pretty fine hair in general.
This August, my best friend died unexpectedly in a car crash. The grief was overwhelming and I was bereaved for months.
Now, about three weeks ago my hair began suddenly coming out in handfuls again.
I was diagnosed in the past with Telegan Effluvium, so I'm not worried about it. Basically, my hair will shed for a month or two (sometimes longer) and it will get very thin. Then it will begin to grow again.
It looks awful with long hair for me, so when I go through these stressful times with hair loss, I cut it to chin length.

Basic Ideas To Prevent Hair Loss
Hair loss is a sensitive subject among several males and females and not many believe they've got control of it. Several various components make this occur in people, a few of the most common are thyroid disease, pregnancy, several kinds of medication such as birth control, stress, and inadequate iron or protein in one's diet.
There is good news for those showing signs of hair loss or fretting about losing their hair in that there are good prevention tips to reduce this risk. Protein and iron deficiencies are often linked with balding, so you have to eat right to avoid this.
The Food Pyramid can be used as an example, however you are not sure that you are receiving everything required, speak with your doctor to see if you should be using vitamin supplements. An additional technique for prevention is taking care of your hair correctly.
Most people do not realize the damage that too much styling and coloring will ruin their hair. Nevertheless, as soon as the hair is totally damaged, it's a possibility that it might be lost indefinitely.
To stay away from this, carefully handle your hair. Allowing it to air dry is ideal, yet if you can't do this, pat it carefully dry in a towel. Remaining stress-free can slow down the loss of hair.
It is imperative to set aside time to relieve and cope with stress even though this may be hard to achieve. Anxiety and stress affects every aspect of your well being and can even result in hair loss.
If you're under a lot of tension, you may pull on your hair and that also affects hair loss. Last but not least, it is necessary to stay away from medicines that have been verified to make you lose your hair.
Several of the usual medications that result in hair loss are contraceptive pills, acne formulas, blood thinners, as well as medicines that treat cancer. That doesn't mean you won't sometimes have to take one of these medicines, but you can try to avoid them whenever possible.
Reduce the risk for hair loss at the first sign of losing your hair by getting an over-the-counter hair loss kit which will promote hair growth.

Oct 27, Dermmatch Tips
by ANDY DURAN
(USA)
Dermmatch works great if you're just starting to thin out, this product allowed me to live several years appearing as if I had a full head of hair. People couldn't tell being inches away. I spent several nights with women that had no idea that I was loosing my hair. (so you don't leave any accidental rub-off on their pillow case, put your T-shirt over the pillow after she falls asleep).
Eventually when the loss increases, it becomes noticeable due to the lack of hair in some spots and then you have to shave or seek other alternatives since Dermmatch needs some hair around to work well. I found the best technique to avoid rub-off was to apply it dry, apply in a well-lit room, (check your cover-up job both in natural lighting and artificial lighting), apply using a mirror over a towel used for that purpose, once applied, comb through hair allowing all excess dust to fall onto the towel, repeat as needed. Fold your towel to avoid a mess. (the towel method is by far the cleanest unless you're willing to make a mess out of your bathroom sink and surroundings). After applying, wash your face with face wash to ensure that your face is free of dust.
Additional tips: The Roman-gladiator hair cut works great with dermmatch, it's easier to work with and you get the best results. The towel method described above and the gladiator haircut offer the best results when it comes to avoiding rub-off, it is almost non-existant unless you rub your scalp with your finger hard.
Dermmatch is cheap considering how long a container lasts.
Cons: depending on the material of your shower floor or bathtub, it may become a pain to clean, it comes off, it's just a pain, but worth the psychological/social gratification.

Nov 16, Just When You Think Life Is Amazing.....
by Alex
(New York, NY, USA)
Hair Loss Guy
I never had a good roll of the genetic dice. I had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder at eighteen. I had been in therapy since I was a child. To compound that, I've been treated for high blood pressure since I was about nineteen. But none of these conditions made me feel any less than anyone else. Hair loss has caused me to feel worthless and become a complete wreck. Here's my story....
2010 was shaping up to be the best year of my life. I had been accepted to a Master's program at a local university for library science. I was tutoring part-time. And I began dating the most amazing woman I've ever known. Everything was perfect. Sure, I was still living at home at 26, but I was making some money, getting my degree, and finally enjoying a successful relationship. And then it all came crashing down. I don't know exactly what started the crash. At the end of June, I signed up for two graduate classes for the summer semester. It was stressful. One of the classes was a literature class and I was constantly studying and working on my papers. However, I still made time to see my girlfriend. Everything seemed to be going fine, albeit the stress level was high from school.
Then, on July 24th, I went over my girlfriend's house. She sat me down on the couch and told me she thought she was pregnant. I was completely shocked. We ended up heading to the local Rite Aid pharmacy to pick up a pregnancy test. I sat on her bed, while she went into the bathroom and took the test. The result was negative. I was relieved. My life wasn't dramatically altered...or so I thought.
Around the same time as the pregnancy scare, I switched to a new blood pressure medication. It was a beta blocker. A few days later, on July 26th, I began freaking out, as hairs were falling from my head. I was going bald.
I went to my general practitioner and my psychiatrist, and both assumed that the reaction was just from the medication. I switched back to my old blood pressure pill. Still, hair kept falling off my head.
A week or two later, I was over at my girlfriend's brother's house. We were playing football. As I exercised, I noticed at least 20 hairs came out as I sweated under the August sun. I realized that when I sweat, I'd lose hairs in the frontal hairline, so I stopped exercising. I barely even left the house.
The hair loss seemed to be slowing down in August, while I avoided exercise or heat, until the school year started on August 26. I signed up for 4 classes. I quickly had to drop one. One day when taking the subway back from home a big clump of hair fell out. I was mortified. I started missing classes. I made an appointment with a dermatologist but it was too long a wait before the appointment. I called my sister's dermatologist (she has acne) and immediately made an appointment. It couldn't have come any sooner, as the night before the appointment, my scalp looked relatively fine, despite the hair loss, but upon waking that day, long strands of hair were falling out of my hairline and my hairline was completely wrecked.
The doctor proscribed Rogaine, Extina, and Clobetasol. He was unsure of the condition, but gave me steroid injections into my scalp. The thinning slowed down noticeably afterwards. I went back to him 9 days later after I noticed a little bit more thinning. He injected me with more shots. The hair seemed to be growing in thick. My hairline was fine. After about two weeks or so, the hair started to thin. I never felt my hair as thin as this before. Also, strands kept falling out. And not just in the hairline. Hair is falling out diffusely from along my side and back as well as the front and center. The doctor ran an autoimmune test and the tests came back normal. He asked if I wanted to test my scalp, but I refused because I was afraid of scarring. The next week I came back and he said it was likely male pattern baldness.
Right now I continue to take the medicines he proscribed. I went to my psychiatrist today and though my hair feels thin, the doctor (who has male pattern baldness) says my hair looks fine. I plan to start taking Inhairit pills, shampoo, and conditioner to add to it. Also, I've started taking Valium to calm my nerves so I can function in daily life.
I'm just afraid that I'll lose everything along with my hair. My overemphasis on hair loss has caused some tension with my girlfriend. I try not to talk about it, but it's always present in my mind. I cannot concentrate in school. I plan to take the next semester off. I just hope I can get my life together again.
