Male vs. Female Pattern Baldness

Hair loss affects almost everyone, but the degree of hair loss and the cause is what differs from one individual to the next. One of the most common conditions that causes hair loss in both men and women is known as, Androgenetic alopecia. Although, both men and women can have alopecia, the pattern of balding looks completely different, hence male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness.

How Does Balding Begin?
Balding and hair loss occurs when the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in finer hair until eventually the follicle does not grow new hair. Even though there is no longer hair growing, the follicles remain alive which suggests the potential for new hair to grow with the help of hair restoration treatments.

Androgenetic alopecia can be genetic, a response to unbalanced hormones or a combination of both. Although, there are similarities in the ways that androgenetic alopecia affects men and women, we've highlighted some of the major differences.

Male vs. Female Alopecia: 
In men, androgenetic alopecia is characterized by a specific pattern of receding hairline and thinning on the crown of the head. Often times it progresses to partial or complete baldness. Normally androgenetic alopecia, also called male pattern baldness, is diagnosed based on the appearance and pattern of hair loss.

Androgenetic alopecia usually has a very different effect on women. In female pattern baldness, the hair thins all over the scalp in no particular pattern although it is usually first noticed because of the widening of the center hair part. The front hairline usually remains unaffected. Also unlike male pattern baldness, androgenetic alopecia in women rarely leads to total or near total baldness.
The best treatments for hair loss for androgenic alopecia may differ among men and women. Men are typically better candidates for hair transplants because the hormone that affects hair loss usually doesn’t affect hair on the sides and back of the head. Therefore, those areas can be used as donor sites for hair transplants. In women, on the other hand, hair all over the head is unstable because there is no a distinct pattern of hair loss. But, some women are candidates for hair transplants and benefit greatly from that type of treatment. For those who are not hair transplant candidates, there are a number of other options to dramatically slow down the hair loss process and to stimulate strong, healthy hair.

New Image Hair Clinic offers all of the solutions for both male and female pattern baldness including surgical hair transplants, non-surgical hair replacement, and Laser Hair Therapy treatments.

Synergy: Finding the Perfect Hair Color for Your Skin Tone

Finding the perfect hair color is not a choice made by luck, but by science. It is never as easy as pointing to a person and saying “I want that!” Just as every person has a different fingerprint, finding the right shade and color is just as unique.

The wrong combination can lead some disappointment, but the right one can lead to a jackpot full of admiration and envy. The perfect color will compliment both your skin tone, interest and can make your facial features stand out.

The way to find the right color has little to do with finding the one you want, and more to do with what color your skin likes.

Hair Color Pigmentation
Hair color comes in two distinct ways: by the level and shade. Color levels fall on a scale of one to ten; one being the darkest color like jet-black and ten being the lightest color, like platinum blonde. Within each level are color pigments- eumelanin (black-brown) and pheomelanin (red-brown), which control the shade.

Skin Undertones, Eye Color and Hair Color
Your skin tone also contains these underlying pigments. Those born with blonde hair, have cooler undertones like blue, green, pink or blue-based red. In addition, those born with brown or black hair have warmer, earthy undertones like orange, brown, gold or orange-based red. Your undertone indicates the type of hair color that will look better on you: warm on warm, and cool on cool.

Eye colors also follow the pigment guidelines. Those with eyes that are deep brown, black-brown, gray blue, dark blue or hazel with white, gray or blue flecks would look good with cool tones in their hair. However, if your eyes are golden brown, green, turquoise or hazel with gold or brown flecks you will look best with warm tones in your hair.

As complex as this all the may seem the result will surpass the process by far. So have some fun and try a new hair color. You may be glad you did!

At New Image Hair Clinic we care about what you think and our goal is to give you the best result possible and exceed your expectations. If you’re suffering from hair loss or thinning hair, call us at 1-888-615-0243 for Pittsburgh and 1-888-615-0563 for Harrisburg or visit here to schedule your FREE hair and scalp analysis.

Hair Loss and Breast Cancer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease and the steps necessary to detect the disease in its early stages. Being that breast cancer is the second leading cause of death amongst women, it's important that we bring awareness throughout the month of October to educate both men and women about the significance of early detection.

According to Statistics:
• Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women.

• About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

• For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than any other cancer, besides lung cancer.

• Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. Just under 30% of cancers in women are breast cancers.

We are fortunate to have many treatment options available for the complexity of the mix cells in each individual cancer. Be aware that these treatments do have a side-effect: hair loss.

Why does this Happen?
Hair loss can occurs as the result of chemotherapy which targets rapidly dividing cells – cancer and healthy. Within a few weeks, a patient may lose some if not all their hair. This also includes hair all over the body.  The extent to which hair loss ensues depends on which drugs or other treatments (Radiation or Hormonal) are used, as well as the longevity of it all. Fortunately, this is temporary and may grow back at a later date.

What can be Expected?
The loss of hair often occurs one to three weeks after the start of treatment. It can happen rapidly in clumps or gradually. The accumulation of hair can be observed on your pillowcase, in a brush or comb, and even in the shower. This will continue throughout the treatment and up to a few weeks after.

How is hair loss Prevented?
There's no guarantee that hair loss will not occur. Nevertheless, the best thing to do is plan for the possibility. Trying to maintain a healthy mind and body after hair loss depends on a person's particular situation, such as the support of friends and family, as well as the attitude of the person.

Here are a few things that may help with hair loss:

• Use mild shampoos
• Use soft-bristle hair brushes
• Avoid using hot hair tools — or use on low heat
• Wear sunscreen, hats or scarves to protect your scalp from the sun's harmful rays

How to make the best of It?
The best way to deal with the situation is to research what you can do to prepare yourself for possible upcoming events. Sources such as www.mayoclinic.org, ww5.komen.org/, and breastcancer.org are great sites that can assist you throughout the treatment process.

At New Image Hair Clinic we care about what you think and our goal is to give you the best result possible and exceed your expectations.

“It’s more than just a hair thing… 
As a woman, hair plays an important role in our lives. It’s not just a vanity issue, its self-image, its self-worth, and it’s how we are perceived in public. It’s more than just a hair thing. Back in 1985, I began to see my hair thinning and it was getting progressively worse as the years went by. I changed my hair color to hide my shiny scalp, so it wasn’t obvious that my hair was thin and fine. This didn’t change the fact that I was self-conscious about my appearance. My thinning hair had altered my lifestyle. A bad hair day was not an uncommon thing – it was almost a daily occurrence…” 

-Marcy H.
