Most people would consider grey hairs unhealthy hairs. This gives rise to the question, ‘Is transplanting grey hair even feasible?’ To answer this question, there is a need to understand why and how the hair turns grey.
Why the Hair Turns Grey
Grey hairs don’t have anything to do with amassing excess wisdom. Your hair is actually building up massive hydrogen peroxide when the hair turns grey. Hydrogen peroxide blocks the synthesis of melanin, the natural pigment of our hair.
Grey hairs usually develop with advancing age. As Gerald Weissmann, MD, puts it, ‘All of our hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes a lot’. So will grey hairs be qualified for transplantation?

Leimo Conditioner: Keeping Your Hair Full, Thick, and Strong Despite Hair Loss
When you lose your hair, there is a variety of possible reasons behind it. It could be due to factors you allowed to advance or perhaps factors you couldn’t control. Either way, losing your locks is not the only thing that happens during hair loss.
Hair loss is also always accompanied with a gradual deterioration of the condition of your hair. Notice how your hair becomes thin, limp, and frayed - or in one word, lifeless - when it lacks health and care? This is exactly what takes place during the hair loss process. In the event, you will have to keep your hair well-nourished and conditioned. One very good product that will do the job for you is the Leimo Conditioner.
The Leimo Thickening Conditioner solves the problem of a thinning and limp hair. Leimo’s advanced formulation works from within to help strengthen, moisturise, and thicken the hair fibres. It adds body and lustre for a thicker, fuller and healthier hair.
Because the hair loss–causing agent, sebum, can build up to clog the follicles, the Thickening Conditioner contains a useful content of sedaplant richter which is especially derived from fennel and mistletoe extracts that are well documented for their cleansing properties. Aside from that, they tap oestrogen receptors to reduce the androgen activity that can induce hair loss.

What Completes a Good Hair Loss Treatment Regimen besides Your Baldness Treatments
Aside from your baldness treatments, you will need to take care of your hair extra gently and refrain from over-manipulating your hair. In other words, you will need to begin a proper hair care regimen. A proper hair care regimen will definitely help in slowing down your hair loss because in this way, you will be aware that lack of proper hair care will attract hair loss–causing/accelerating agents.
Avoiding Too Much Exposure
Too much exposure to the wind, sun, and/or chlorinated water can strip your hair and scalp of their natural moisture and volume. The sun’s heat and UV light exposure lightens the hair because it causes the pigmentation to dissipate. Too much UV rays can also make your hair lose proteins. Too much wind and chlorinated water can dry out the hair, making them more vulnerable to breakage.
The Proper Tools
Proper hair care begins with using the right tools. For any hair type, use the boar-bristle brush because it eliminates static energy and especially effective in trapping dirt and dust. More importantly, it improves the blood flow to the scalp, which in turn will help induce hair growth.
Wash your hair with mild or gentle specialised shampoos together with your other baldness treatments. Next, use a wide-toothed comb on a wet hair to remove the tangles. Using a narrow-toothed comb can damage your hair as it is weakest when wet.
Do not use curling or flat irons, bleach or dye your hair too often. This is will gradually weaken your hair.

Restoring Hair Using Laser Hair Treatment
Most popular hair loss products are gender-selective since they disrupt the normal hormonal activity specific to each gender. Male pattern hair loss is different from female pattern hair loss in terms of causes and patterns, hence the several kinds of treatments made commercially available. However, there are treatments which are applicable to both women and men: laser hair treatment.
Laser therapy refers to the employment of low level laser light that possesses components to stimulate the hair follicles into growth phase through the process called photobiostimulation. It also induces better blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles by which dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, is observed to be broken down. (DHT is the known cause of pattern hair loss in men and women.) Laser treatment does not put the patient at a significant risk as it doesn’t have any documented side effects.
Laser therapy has been indicated in both men and women with mild to moderate cases of hair loss. In this stage, the hair follicles are not yet entirely damaged. Laser treatment is observed to be capable of restoring the condition of dormant hair follicles.
But does laser treatment affect men and women differently?

On Hair Loss Matters: How Important Is Hair to a Man
A deliberate display of vanity is not the province of men. However, when it comes to topics like hair loss, they also shake. That is because hair loss is not a simple cosmetic problem that only women have the permission to lament about. It is psychologically damaging.
Although hair loss is normally a part of the ageing process, it is something that men also struggle to accept. Think Vin Diesel or Jason Statham. Both of these hunks have always maintained a small amount to nothing of their hair to avoid the ugly reality of hair loss.
Balding men are more prone to becoming the butt of jokes. They may appear to take the humor as it is, but it can begin to slowly take effect on them, to the extent that they become fixated with their condition.
A 1992 study from Old Dominion University in Virginia revealed that 84% of their respondents became preoccupied with their hair loss. They would refer to the feeling as ‘self-conscious’, ‘helpless’ and ‘envious of other men’. Who could blame them in a stereotypical society like ours? As a matter of fact, The British Journal of Psychology noted that balding men are often viewed as ‘older, weaker, less desirable, and are more likely to be denied for promotions or raises over their peers’.

Modified Soybean Stops Hair Loss in Chemotherapy Patients
Given the number of people suffering from hair loss, scientists are persistent with tying loose ends in the formulation of a hair loss cure despite the many hair loss treatments commercially available nowadays. Hair loss sufferers are patiently waiting.
In Japan, a group of researchers discovered and developed a possible cure to hair loss, especially that which is caused by chemotherapy: modified soybean.
Soybean is a good source of nutrients such as iron, calcium, phosphorus, and dietary fibres. It can also reduce LDL cholesterol, prevent cancer, and lessen the risk of coronary artery disease. Aside from that, it can reduce dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the main cause of hair loss in majority of cases.
The team developed a soybean infused with a substance that promotes hair growth and prevents hair loss caused by chemotherapy. Through genetic engineering technology, the researchers integrated the soybean with an anti-hypertensive substance derived from egg whites.

Does Hair Regrowth Slow Down as We Age
Do you know what Meryl Streep and Glenn Close have in common? Aside from the fact that they are set to dethrone Michelle Williams after receiving Academy Award nominations for best actress this year, they have apparently thinner and shorter hair. This would make us marvel: Why do older women have thinner and shorter hair indeed? Some say that a shorter hair, whether it flatters or not, makes one younger-looking. There is another theory, however. It could be because the hair grows very slowly at this point in life. But does the hair actually grow slower as we age?
Hair regrowth slows down as we age. In fact, the hair grows fastest from age 15 to 30. Because the scalp hair follicles lessen, hair grows slower while the body ages altogether. This can even lead to eventual hair loss, mostly in men. But besides ageing, there can be other major factors that come into play such as androgenic activity and genetics.
In the normal hair growth cycle, the growth phase lasts for about two to six years. At another point in the cycle, the growth phase is followed by the transition or catagen phase wherein the hair is getting ready to detach from its roots. After this stage, the hair undergoes the telogen or resting phase wherein the hair finally falls out as a new growing hair replaces it in the follicle. The catagen phase lasts for only about 2–3 weeks while the telogen phase, 2–3 months.

Hair Washing Basics in Achieving Better Hair Regrowth
If only you could be one of the children of an executive in Harvey Norman, then you would probably drown yourself with a variety or hair care products and salon services for better hair regrowth. Also, it wouldn’t be such as disaster to know that after the money, time, and effort spent on these, there is only little to no improvement in your hair. Of course, if you can’t maintain the condition of your hair by yourself, you will not see visible improvements at all.
There is more to using hair care products or availing of salon services to get a manageable and healthy mane. Designing a hair care regimen that taps all the aspects affecting the hair and its hair growth is the key. The most basic thing you should learn about taking care of your hair is the proper way to wash it.
Washing your hair daily with a gentle shampoo is not actually necessary although it is generally considered safe to. But an oily hair will most probably require more washing than a dry hair does. Dry hair will need more moisture and thus, using shampoo every day can make it worse than it already is. In case of hair loss, you will need to find hair growth shampoos and such other hair loss products. In case of a dandruff problem, use a dandruff shampoo that contains zinc pyrithione.
To properly shampoo, make sure the hair is wet with warm water. Lather a small amount from the scalp throughout the length of your hair reaching the tips. Protein shampoos do not really penetrate the hair fibres but they can coat them temporarily to make it appear fuller, lustrous, and thicker.

The Quickest Method of Hair Restoration
Nowadays, there is a steadfast increase of people who want to undergo hair transplant surgery for hair restoration. Why? The answer is plain and simple: it is because hair transplantation offers the quickest path to end hair loss problems once and for all.
Indeed, hair transplantation is highly accepted as a modern method to treat hair loss and hair thinning problems. More than that, this surgical hair restoration procedure provides a natural-looking hair at the same time offers the only permanent solution to stop the onslaught of this condition.
A hair transplant is defined as the surgical removal of hair grafts from donor sites located on the sides and the back of the head and transplanting these DHT-resistant hair grafts into the balding and thinning areas of the patient’s scalp known as the recipient site.
Donor sites comprise of follicles which are insusceptible to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the main cause of 95% of hair loss. This implies that the hair on the back and sides of the head are said to be donor dominant, meaning hair will continue to grow in these areas throughout the life of most people.
