Talking about hair loss with your GP is an important first step. For millions of people world-wide, each day is a bad hair day due to the predicament of thinning hair or hair loss. There are a variety of treatments offered these days that make hair loss or thinning hair easier to live with. Distressing situations and heredity can be the reason for hair thinning and loss and can also be caused by hormonal fluctuations, excessive physical force or poor nutrition. Alopecia is a worry not only experienced by men but by an increasing number of women, it is the disproportionate and abnormal loss of strong hair. While these factors can concern both men and women, hair thinning and loss usually happens for:
Men A thinning crown or receding hair line is the most common pattern of hair loss. Hair loss occurs due to the presence of a derivative or by-product of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hormone can shrink the hair follicles and has a greater effect in the mid-anterior scalp and temples. Some types of male hair loss are:Acute diffuse alopecia occurs from physical or psychological factors such as hormones, nutritional deficiencies or medications.Chronic Diffuse Alopecia can occur due to nutritional, metabolic or endocrine issues. Androgenetic Alopecia occurs due to genetic sensitivity to male hormones. This rarely affects women.
Women Anagen effluvium due to chemotherapy this may occur. The matrix of the hair becomes damaged and, as a consequence, the hair shaft narrows, eventually breaking. Traction alopecia caused by rigorous hairstyles, ie: ponytails that are too tight, frequent use of extensions, braiding or cornrows. These methods pull at hair over time but loss can be prevented if diagnosed and treated early enough. The majority of cases of hair thinning and loss result from hormonal fluctuations, ie: during pregnancy, childbirth or use of some types of birth control.
Men and women can minimize or even prevent hair thinning or loss, if detected early enough, by using several over-the-counter treatments such as: Daily vitamin supplement look for ones labelled especially for hair and/or nails and are fortified with Vitamin B3 (niacin), this protects the hair shaft, and antioxidants, to ward off damage from free radicals. A shampoo that states this will nourish and protect existing hair while removing oils that can block the follicles and prevent re-growth. A weekly use, leave-in scalp treatment made with essential oils oils such as lavender and orange will relax and unblock hair follicles to promote growth, regulate oil production and maintain cell repair. As with any treatment, results will vary and may to need to be continued on a constant basis. Also, allow approximately 6-8 weeks before seeing results.
Techniques to hide hair loss: Perhaps it is time to think of some techniques to hide your hair loss if you are unhappy with your thinning hair. Whether you are a man or a woman losing hair due to heredity, stress, medication or a medical condition you can use these tips to help you cope. Use a Hair Thickening Shampoo or Conditioner Use a hair thickening shampoo and/or conditioner meant to disguise loss by making the hair appear to be thicker. Brush your hair gently after shampooing and conditioning to stop losing more hair, and allow hair to dry completely before combing or brushing it.
Styling Techniques If your hair is not as thick as it once was, there are a number of hair styling methods and hair styling products that can be employed to keep your hair looking its best at any age. Try to avoid hair gels as they only matte your hair and highlight your hair loss. Instead use hair texturizing creams and lotions that give you volume and fullness. Another good option is to use a leave-in hair conditioner that can make your hair emerge more textured and fuller. For a fuller look try blow drying your hair For hair that is getting thin on top, try blow drying after you have washed and conditioned, then comb your hair in front directly back. Use mousse or a light hair spray to maintain the style. The blow drying will stop your hair from matting together and looking thinner.
Extending your Hair Hair extensions are a quick and simple method for men and women with long thick hair to disguise the fact that they are losing some hair. Employ a salon for adding natural human hair to your head. This option can last for several weeks to several months.
Blow-dry your Hair Consider blow drying if your hair is thinning on top to give it added texture and body and to give your head more coverage. Brush it into a quiff on top of your head by brushing it from the forehead up. Maintain the style with a little hairspray. If your hair is thinning throughout, this is a good way to make your hair look fuller. Chaps -Getting a Buzz from your Hair The buzz cut is a way to disguise the fact that you are losing hair. Businessmen, sports stars and actors all use this as a classy, style that is easy to maintain. Groom your scalp daily and remove the hairs you have left for a clean, fresh look by using a wet-dry electric razor. If youre disturbed about your hair loss or if your hair is starting to thin, make an appointment with your hairdresser or barber and request some advice on a fresh, new look. There are plenty of hair styles to choose from that have you looking great.

Do you know the fine-line between your 1st Amendment rights and libelous, slanderous behavior on the Internet? Apparently, administrators at The Salon Professional Academy in Elgin, Ill. feel they have a case. They are suing a student for $50,000 for the unauthorized use of the schools logo and emotional damage caused by defamatory comments posted this students FaceBook page.
Nicholas Blacconiere, created the FaceBook page, TSPA Robinhood, mocking teacher and classes and offered fellow students a place to vent. Is this really an issue for the courts or couldnt better teacher/student communications rectify matters? Evidently, similar type lawsuits are popping up on this type of thing all across the country.
Cosmetology School Shoots Own Foot
According to the Chicago Tribune News, As social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace continue to consume young peoples free time, the lawsuit could set a precedent in how students are held accountable for insults posted on the Web. Those who study Internet trends say lawsuits involving so-called electronic harassmentor suck sites pages created to mock a person or place are on the rise. But because such technological lawsuits are a new concept, courts are just now developing guidelines for how to handle them. So far, electronic harassment cases involving schools versus students have brought mixed results. Read more here.
What is your take? The opinions are rolling in everywhere on whos right, whos wrong and whose got a leg to stand on.
A salon owner writes in, Boo-hoo!  Would you hire this student to work for you?  And on the other side another comments, When the school charges students $15,000 for their education, they should be above lawsuits cant they just ask him to take it down?
My personal take is the Cosmetology School is out of their minds for bringing so much negative attention to themselves for what appears to be some hurt feelings. Had they ignored the issue the FaceBook entries would have been seen by a handful of people, most of whom are wise enough to spot a righteous indignation rant. Instead it is being reported all across the country, because of their vindictiveness the FaceBook site will be seen by thousands. Seems to me the student has accomplished his objectives beyond his wildest imagination.

The bountiful curly Taylor Swift Hairstyles are naturally fitting for the singing pop star. Taylor Swift does not stray away from the curly hairstyles too often, but I think its great when someone finds a look that is just right for them. I am still looking for mine, but I do not think I will ever find it because I like to switch up too much. Anyhow, back to Taylor Swift, when she puts her hair up in a loose updo, it gives her this classic beauty appearance with the blond curls draped along the side of her face. Very elegant.

Hallelujah  . . . we thank these entrepreneurs for putting together a great site for continuing online hairdressing courses!
Hairdressing Courses
are OnlineI first heard of this service back in March and Wrote about it in an article then.  The sites hairdressing tutors are some of the finest in the world, including a former Creative Director of the Vidal Sassoon  Advanced Academy, a previous Art Director at Toni Guy, and world renowned hair colorists.
Steve Turner, one of the founders of www.myhairdressers.com, shared with me about the importance of on-going education and the value of his hairdressing courses.
Take your hairdressing career to a new level
Hairdressing can be both a creatively and financially rewarding career, but to make the most of it you need to keep on top of your game. The most successful people in any career are those that refuse to stand still and continue to grow their haircutting skills.
Starting out
Young people starting out in hairdressing typically begin as an assistant in a local hair salon. A good hair salon will provide on the job training, along with college release for class room learning designed to provide a recognized industry qualification. In the UK for example, the standard qualification is NVQ 2 and requires up to two years training.
Progressing
Like any other job, the qualification is just a starting point and there are many levels of qualifications available to further enhance your resume. Most major hair care product manufacturers also offer a wide range of workshops and seminars to keep you informed of latest trends and haircutting techniques, usually with an emphasis on their own products.
Similarly, lots of large hair salons and chains have dedicated Academies where, for a fee, you can attend a variety of hairdressing courses designed to enhance your techniques and talents. Whilst these are without a doubt the most popular way to keep up to date, they can be expensive and are usually only located in large cities. For more provincially based hairdressers this means extra travel and accommodation expenses.
They are very useful for networking with other hairdressers, sharing ideas and so forth, but you only get to see the technique once and there’s a lot of information to absorb in one day.
The Internet
Recently the Internet has offered a new and exciting way of training and networking for hairdressers. Networking sites are great for talking to other hairdressers and making friends, while the massive range of fashion and style websites offer inspiration and keep you up to date with the hottest hairstyles and looks.
Online hairdressing courses offer access to hair training and almost one to one training. Hairdressing course sites such www.myhairdressers.com provide a structured and cost efficient way to learn a vast array of techniques. As video can be stopped, rewound and watched over and over, the advantage is that you can really learn the haircutting techniques from professionals at your own pace.

Keeping Inspired
No-one knows everything, and it is vital to your career that you keep on top of your skill base as well as progressing to keep your styles up to date. Hairdressing is closely linked to fashion and is constantly evolving. Reading magazines, browsing websites, watching movies and music videos will ensure you keep on top of fashionable hairstyles.
Visiting the major hair shows as well as the many regional shows will help to keep you up to date with new techniques, products and hairstyles.
And don’t forget to keep an eye out on the street – see the hairstyles that people are wearing in your town or city, and just be aware of the current trends.
Putting it all together
So armed with a good qualification and regular ongoing education, as well as the experience you gain on the hair salon floor, you should always have enough skills in your tool box to be able to apply them to your clients hair and keep them looking fresh, trendy and beautiful and keep them coming back to your hair salon time after time.
