Common cancer treatments include Chemotherapy, which there are several primary treatments, Radiation Therapy and Hormonal Therapy. All typically affect hair growth, the hair follicle growth cycle or destroy the follicles and their ability to reproduce.

Fortunately hair loss symptoms disappear after treatment and hair growth returns – though not always as expected. My mother for instance, experienced soft, curly hair growth following several chemo treatments for breast cancer – which she won, by the way! Previously her hair was wavy and somewhat coarse.

Generally, the timing and dosage of chemo will have a direct impact on hair loss. The larger the dosage or the more rapidly the treatments, the more severe the loss.

It is common for hair growth to return two to three weeks after treatments end and normal hair growth can be expected to return within a month. Normal hair growth is 4-6 inches per year, so it may take 3-6 months before manageable stylable hair is grown.

For hair growth after chemo, stimulation of the hair follicles, accelerating blood flow and nutrients, and providing proper (and lost nutrition) is essential to restoring healthy hair and hair growth.

We recommend several types of products for hair growth after chemo to promote faster growing hair and to re-grow new hair:

Follicle Stimulators – Follicle Stimulators are topical applications used to promote faster hair growth. Rich in Trichogen and scalp nutrients, follicle stimulators use clinically proven ingredients to promote faster hair growth and invigorate new hair re-growth.

Trichogen, developed and tested in France, is a unique trichogenic complex which make-up the hair growth complex. It consists of a selection of synergistic components of botanical, biotechnological and synthetic origin. This ingredient is composed of many components that when combined together they become Trichogen. It stimulates blood flow, aids in blocking DHT, and has been shown to work in over 88% of tested subjects.

DHT Blockers – Though not a direct hair stimulant, DHT blockers are formulated to block DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which often is a function of hormonal changes – common in chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. DHT blockers use natural ingredients that help to block the 5 alpha reductase enzyme that must be present for DHT to form.

It is important to note that blocking the enzyme is important, but equally important is adding extreme amounts of vitamins and aminos to your diet. This is because the hair has been mal-nourished and must be jump started. This is why scalp stimulation is also important to re-establish blood supply.

Hair Vitamins – Your body needs nutrition and it is necessary for your hair to grow properly, and hair vitamins help. Amino acids build protein chains in the hair shaft. As your hair grows up and out of the scalp it is reproducing rapidly and making these protein chains. By giving your body more of the amino acids, hair grows faster and healthier.

B Group vitamins get your hair growing faster and minerals form the bonds in the hair. Chemo generally strips vital nutrients, so vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and amino acid compounds help promote healthy hair growth.

Facing chemo hair loss can be difficult and embarrassing – adding to a very difficult life challenge. Proper diet and utilizing hair care products formulated to restore natural hair re-growth can help combat the effects of chemo and restore natural, healthy hair.

Choosing the right short hair cut is partly technical and partly artistic. It is about the basic elements of balance, line and movement. So be sure which hair cut will look good and match your personality. Use consultation tools and virtual styling software to watch out the difference.

Discover the proper hair care products and styling tools for your scalp care and to ensure beautiful healthy hair. Proper care for scalp is very important for short hair style because everyone can watch your scalp. So wash your hair daily with shampoo and conditioner. Short hair needs extra care as its length is short and can not hide the dirt and dandruff as a long hair can do. Conditioner is must as everyone keeps open their short hair and therefore there is a strong possibility that the hair stink dirt and become rough. So, conditioner is must. But do not use a conditioner in the hair root. It makes hair weak. Always use this on the hair.

For reproducing hair style that is ‘fresh and formal’ and so much like the salon you can use various types of styling products like hairspray, mousse, volumizer, styling gel, paste, putty, pomade, finishing gloss, frizz and curl control products. Using these things you can give your hair a style very much like the salon.

Hair color is another important thing. Coloring depends on your complexion. Fair looking people can go for some bright color and dark complexioned people can use shades like dark brown, burgundy, copper. Sizzling shades, fiery red browns, red coppers are fashionable for highlighting. . Your hair style determines your color too. What will match with short curly hair style that may not go with long silky straight hair type. So it is advisable to consult your hair expert first time then you apply yourself. So decide what color you prefer for your short hair. Colors are great ways to update your look and choose the right one to have a exciting new appearance for every occasion.

Short hair cut is time saving and money saving too. If you have hardly any time to spend for your hair care then switch to short hair cut. But be care choosing a short hair style because it should match your personality, life style, hair thickness, hair texture and body shape. So please consult your hair dresser and pick the right one. One thing is also very important to look at. That is what type of hairdo you see in catalog or in any book is a result of enormous effort of a prominent fashion hair stylist. It is therefore not necessary that you will also get that exact look like the very model flaunting the hair cut which you want to have. So do not choose something that your stylist is not very sure about that. Pick a simple but happening cut which is your stylist’s also favorite cut.

1. The more hairs per graft that are used in your hair transplant, the less natural your hair will look. Many doctors still use grafts that contain up to eight hairs. These do not look as conspicuous as the hair plugs of earlier decades, but they do not look as natural as they can, either. Try to find a doctor that uses grafts that contain one to four hair follicles.

These smaller grafts, also called follicular unit grafts, are ideal in restoring a receding hairline. If your doctor uses the follicular unit grafts for your hairline, it will look much more natural than with the larger plug-like grafts. This is important because your hair transplant will be noticeable if the hairline is not done well.

2. Your hair transplant site will be fuller if you have higher density in your donor sites. The density is based upon the number of hair follicles you have in each section of your scalp. If you have a high number of hair follicles per square centimeter than most people, more grafts can be done, so your hair will look fuller.

3. Your scalp laxity will also affect the fullness of your resulting hair transplant site. This refers to the flexibility of your scalp. How loose your scalp is helps to decide how many grafts can be done just as hair density does.

4. Coarse hair will cover more area. When your hair transplant is done, the surgeon will be able to use fewer hair follicles per graft if your hair is coarse. That is because coarse hair provides more coverage. However, finer hair will tend to look more natural, if thinner.

5. Straight hair does not cover scalp like curly hair does. If you have straight hair, you can be sure that your hair transplant surgery will be a challenge to your doctor. Curly hair appears to provide even more coverage than it actually does because it stands up from the head.

6. The way your hair color compares to your skin color will have an effect on the look of your hair transplant. If you have a hair color that is similar to the color of your skin, you are in luck. Your scalp will not betray any lack of coverage that happens to be present.

If, on the other hand, your hair and skin color contrast distinctly hair follicles show up more. If there is even the slightest lack of coverage, it will be evident. Just imagine a very light-skinned person with jet-black hair. This person’s hair follicles will stand out in a very obvious way.

No one ever knows how hair transplant surgery will turn out until they see the results. All of the basic problems can be dealt with if a skilled surgeon is involved. However, knowing the possibilities will make it easier for you to know what questions to ask.
