Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that creates wigs for financially disadvantaged children (18 years or younger) suffering from long-term medical hair loss. Whereas most non-profit organizations would love for you to donate your time or money, Locks of Love would love for you to donate a part of yourself — your hair (and/or time and money!)

It is amazing how much of a difference that you can make by simply donating your hair ? it does not cost you any more money than the stamp and envelope to mail it in, and it costs you no more time than it takes to snip off 10 inches of hair. It is even easier to donate your hair than it is to donate blood (and there are no scary needles!).

If you are interested in donating your hair to Locks of Love, there are a few things that you should know:

?	You must donate at least 10 inches of hair (from tip to tip) ? the longer, the better.?	Before you chop off your locks, make sure that it is clean and dry.  Bundle your hair in a braid or ponytail (if you keep it in a pony tail, consider using a few extra elastics around the middle and the end).?	Do not donate hair from a salon that has been swept off the floor ? it must be properly bundled.?	Locks of Love does not discriminate between sexes, races, or ages ? they appreciate hair from anyone and everyone.?	It is alright if your hair has been colored or permed, but do not send in chemically damaged or bleached hair.?	Hair does not go bad ? so, if you have well-stored hair (in a ponytail or braid) that you cut off 10 years ago, that is great!  Send it in.?	Short hairs and gray hairs (or other hair that is unsuitable for children) will be separated out.  This hair is actually sold ? the money made from this offsets some of the cost of manufacturing.?	Place your hair in a plastic bag, and then put it in a padded envelope.  Fill out a hair donation form (this can be found at the Locks of Love website), and mail it in.  It is that easy.

As abovementioned, people of all ages can donate hair. It is interesting to note, however, that the majority of donors are children ? children who want to help other children.

Amazingly, it can take 6 to 10 donated ponytails to create one human hair wig (hair prothesis). This is partly due to the fact that shorter hairs are removed, as is other unusable hair. One human hair wig might take as many as 150,000 individual hairs! In the end, after these many hairs are made into the wig, 2 inches of length is lost from the total 10 inches (or longer) that the wig-maker started out with.

As you can imagine, one of these hair prothesis is not cheap ? it could retail for up to $6,000. The cost of manufacturing can be quite expensive (even with all of the hair donated for Locks of Love, they also need money to pay for the manufacturing).

Some of us may take our hair for granted ? it is something that we were born with, something that we twirl around our fingers when we are in deep thought, something that we complain about on ?bad hair days.? It may never occur to us how much a child would love to have a human hair wig ? how much a child would love to even have just one of our ?bad hair days.?

Many a proud and assertive dog suddenly melts into jelly as a fearful dog when you take him to that dreaded appointment — dog at the vet! Just as children (and adults) dislike or fear going to the doctor's office, there is much dog fear of vet. Yours does not have to be a generally fearful dog, simply one who feels threatened by the cool efficiency of all these strangers who hustle around in this cold, sterile place with so many scents of fear! ? and especially if a dog muzzle is unceremoniously shoved over the dog's face!

My rescued Border Collie is obediently, but he certainly does not love it at the vet, and is quite eager to return to the car. Most people just rush in there, get the thing done, then get out ? and that is scary for a dog! I always prepare my dog in advance.

So before you go, first check your own attitude. Come in feeling good, exuding confidence and a carefree attitude of “business as usual, no big deal.” That will calm and reassure your dog.

But he, too, must come in feeling good. Give him fun outings, so going to the car to this place is just another of your outings to him. Make sure he is relaxed even before getting in the car by giving him proper exercise — such as running him on a bike or roller blading. Make sure he has had a bowel movement if at all possible, because you want him comfortable.

Then you need to address the situation at the vet's office itself. One of the reasons dogs do not often like to go to the vet is because the veterinarian is always in a rush ? and so are the staff. That can feel threatening.

Every dog (especially a fearful dog) should be allowed time to become familiar with the scent of the veterinarian, staff, and vet environment. He needs some positive time with them in advance of exam time if at all possible. Try to introduce him in a fun way and give him time to adjust to the vet and staff before you actually take him there for an official visit and exam. Just knowing them in advance will provide reassurance to ease your dog's fears? even if they are then moving quickly and efficiently in “work mode” (just as you might do during your own work day, so even that might be familiar to the dog).

If your dog is extremely fearful and requires a dog muzzle, take your time in introducing one. Introduce it on a day prior to the vet appointment, at some place else where the dog is not so stressed and is having fun. Take your time introducing the dog muzzle. It may take thirty minutes, but it is worth it to make the fearful one surrender to the muzzle. This way, she will not fear it any more and will see that it means no harm. Then when vet appointment time comes, go early and, by advance arrangement with the staff, start on this process at a calm, leisurely pace — not the frenetic pace of a normal in-and-out, get-it-done, office visit.

Cannot get a dog muzzle on? Here are two important dog behavior tips.

1. Get an obedience dog trainer with muzzle experience to help in advance of the vet visit or to go with you. Have the professional restrain the dog while she releases her frustration — by holding the scruff of the dog's neck, or the loose skin on the sides of her neck under her jaw. A skittish dog often screams the first time this procedure is done, so do not panic if such occurs. (That is all the more reason to acclimate her to the dog muzzle in advance.)

2. Remember to make your dog face his or her fear. The more you give in to her fear displays, the worse it will be. Never let the dog go when she is nervous, as that is when most dog bites occur. Fear bites. They can be nasty. So just stay in your control position until your dog calms down and you accomplish your goal.

It is the same thing always in dog training and dog relationships. Fearful dog or not, YOU must be a firm, consistent, persistent Leader. Never let go when the dog throws a tantrum (or you will be bitten), and always maintain your position until the dog is calm. The dog must see that you will not be the “first to look away” (hence, lose), but that you remain immovable until you accomplish your goal. Such leadership will comfort, reassure, and restore your fearful dog more than anything else — even at the vet!

The ordinary kind of hair loss, called hereditary hair loss, can affect both men and women, but women are usually affected less than men. The condition is so common that it nearly can be regarded as a part of the normal aging process.

SYMPTOMS OF HAIR LOSS

The pattern of hair loss and baldness are different for men and women. On men special areas on the head begin get totally bald. These areas are usually at both sides of the front, and the top back side of the head. The hair loss then progresses with these areas extending, and at last most of the head can be totally without hair. However, a great area in the neck uses to remain unaffected and keeps a thick hair cover. The same is usually true about the area in front of each ear.

On women all the hair on the head begins thinning, and then gradually progress over the whole head for many years. Women seldom get totally bald areas on their head, but the hair often gets so thin that the scalp is clearly visible through the hair.

THE CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS

The skin has there layers: The outer layer, called epidermis, consists of epithelial cells. Under this lies the dermis consisting of connective tissue. At the bottom there is a layer called the hypodermis consisting mostly of fat cells.

The skin has narrow pores, hair follicles, extending from the surface down to the top of the sub-dermis, called hair follicles. A hair extend from a growth zone in the bottom of each hair follicle and out at the skin surface

By the common form of hair loss, a substance in the body, dihydroxy-testosterone (DHT), gives a signal to the cells in the hair follicles that make these cells divide less so that the production of hair slows or stops.

DHT is a metabolic product from testosterone, the male sex hormone. Also women have some amount of testosterone and DHT in their body, and therefore hair loss also affects women.

Only cells that are susceptible to the influence from DHT will slow the growth process. This susceptibility is inherited from the parents by some individuals, and not by other. Follicle cells in the lower parts of the head are usually also resistant against the influence from DHT, and therefore these areas seldom get bald.

The effectiveness of hair growth will not only be affected by DHT. Other substances found in the tissue may give the cells signals to divide more, and nutrients like vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids may make the growth process more effective. Some substances in the tissue may also block the DHT or ease the removal of this substance. Therefore all individuals susceptible to the influence of DHT will not lose hair in the same extent.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Having a good diet giving the body vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants in the right amount may slow down the speed of hair loss.

There exist pharmacological products on the market that can help against hair loss, but usually not 100% effectively. Medicines used to treat prostate hypertrophy also have been proven to stop hair loss and to get hair to regain, because these drugs block the substance DHT. Propecia is a prescription bound drug to take by mouth based on an original prostate medicine.

Rogain is a topical drug to apply 2-3 times each day that does not block the DHT, but stimulates the hair follicles cells to proliferate better.

There are many natural products on the market to help against hair loss. These products often contain several substances working together by different principles.

They may contain vitamins or minerals that are necessary for hair growth. Other substances give signals to the hair follicles to increase hair growth, for example procyanidin B2. Some ingredients work as anti-oxidants that inhibit oxidative attack on the follicle cells, like L-arginine.

Some natural products also contain substances to block DHT. Saw palmetto extract contains substances acting as DHT blockers by much of the same mechanism as prostate medicines.Still other ingredients can reduce the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Grean tea extract have shown itself to contain substances with this effect.

Surgery is an effective treatment against baldness in limited areas. By surgery hair follicles from parts of the scull immune to DHT are moved to bold areas. The hair in the treated areas will however not get as tight as naturally growing hair.

It is also possible to implant artificial hair into the scalp. By this method, large bald areas can be covered, but the treatment implies a certain danger for infection, requires good hair hygiene afterwards and requires a regular refill to replace lost hairs.

Hair loss creates anxiety in many men. Nothing tarnishes a man's confidence and self-image like a patch of baldness or a receding hairline. The emotional distress is so bad sometimes that he even suffers from depression. How to prevent hair loss in man is thus an important health issue no man should ignore.

The reason for hair loss are many. Knowing the common causes like medications, stress, lack of iron, or improper hair care will help you to more effectively deal with the situation.

  • Medication

    Many medicines have side effects. Certain medications, like indomethacin for arthritis, methysergide for migraine headache, or allopurinol and colchicine for gout, are known to be a cause of hair loss. Vaccinations, especially for hepatitis B, may also be a factor. Even over dosage of some health supplement, such as vitamin A, could give you hair problem too.

    The first step to hair loss prevention is therefore not to self-medicate. Find out the side effects of any administered medicine for your own good. If you suspect a medication causing you scalp problem, consult your health professional to make any necessary adjustments.

  • Stress

    Stress and hair loss have long been linked together. Indeed, after a surgery, a major illness, high fever, or any other physically or emotionally stressful event, excessive hair loss may occur. Fortunately your hair usually will grow back within a few months in these cases.

    What concerns most men is the stress faced in daily life. The high stress exerted on you from family and work can also impede hair growth and lead to baldness. With this awareness, adopt a positive mind set and do not over-stress yourself mentally and physically. Strive for a balanced and healthy lifestyle with proper rest and relaxation built in. This will help you prevent hair loss caused by daily stress.

  • Hair Care and Styling

    Improper hair care can damage your hair, causing it to become weak and easily broken. Dyeing your hair continually is an example. So are tinting, and bleaching. Overheating your hair with a hairdryer is just as bad an activity.

    Ponytails, braids, and cornrows are good-looking hair styles, but they require pulling the hair rather tightly. This may cause the hair to break or fall out. Elastic bands and ribbons used to hold some other hair styles in place stress the hair and thus may cause its loss as well.

    Learn the proper ways to take care of your hair. Wear loose hair styles that won't strain your hair. Once you totally stop or cut down on the hair-damaging activities, the hair will normally grow back. Provided of course you haven't damaged the hair follicles by then.

  • Lack of Iron

    The most common cause of iron loss in men is bleeding in the digestive tract, often due to ulcers and inflammation of the stomach. Chronic diarrhea could also decrease your body's ability to absorb iron. Treating these health conditions will in turn help stop hair loss.

    Not getting enough iron in your diets is another reason of iron deficiency. Simply by eating a balanced diet that includes foods high in iron, such as meats, you can rectify the condition while maintaining your nutritional needs.

Hair loss could distress a man and harm his self-confidence. So learning how to prevent hair loss will benefit a man in his overall wellbeing. Depending on the causes, you can stop man hair loss to some degree by taking a few precautionary measures. Avoiding certain medications, reducing stress, getting adequate iron in your diet, and wearing hair styles that don't damage the hair all help in reducing or preventing hair loss.

Do you have unwanted body hair? Are you trying to choose between hair removal methods? This guide contains all you need to decide. It details several popular as well as not-so-common methods of getting rid of unwanted hair, including shaving, plucking, waxing, sugar waxing, bleaching, threading, depilatories, electrolysis, laser, and vaniqa.

Shaving

Shaving is a temporary hair removal method. It is inexpensive, but for most people the hair has started to grow back by the following day. To prevent stubble, you must shave once or twice daily. Razors come in all varieties. They can be made of cheap plastic with a single blade which can be bought for a quarter, or a high quality electric version costing $50 or more.

Plucking

Another common hair removal method is plucking, or tweezing, the hair. While this method is time consuming, as you can only pluck one hair at a time, it is useful for smaller areas, such as an extra eyebrow hair or two. However, it can be painful, especially around the eyes, and can cause irritation and ingrown hairs. While it is a myth that by plucking a hair out by its root you are causing two to grow in its place, many women do not pluck their hair for this very reason. But investing in a $2 pair of tweezers is a lifesaver when you want to look perfect for that special occasion.

Waxing

For larger areas, many people prefer to use hot wax. The wax is applied to the skin with a piece of paper or cloth covering it. After the wax cools, the strip is ripped away, taking the hair with it. While this method is fast, it can also be painful. In addition, waxing removes the top layer of skin, and can cause rashes and redness. However, once you become good at the technique, it is an easy and inexpensive way to quickly get rid of unwanted hair at home. Kits can be purchased for $20-$40. You can also have your skin waxed by a professional. Depending on the area you are having waxed, this can cost from $20 to around $150.

Sugar Waxing

Sugar waxing is similar in method to traditional waxing, except that the “wax” is a sticky sugary paste. Sugaring is even less expensive, as home kits can be bought for as little as $10.

Bleaching

Rather than removing the hair, some women prefer to lighten it. This is especially common for women with facial hair. Bleaching is completely pain-free, and can be done at home. Most women do not have any skin reactions to the bleach however, as with a hair dye, be sure to test first on a small, inconspicuous part of your skin, just in case the bleach does change your skin color or cause irritation.

Threading

Threading, also known as khite, is commonly practiced in the Middle East but much less well-known in the west. It is performed using a cotton thread. The thread is twisted, catching the hair, and is then pulled to remove it. The results are similar to plucking, but many more hairs can be removed at one time. Always use cotton so the fibers themselves do not irritate the skin.

Depilatories

Depilatories are creams that dissolve hair, allowing it to be wiped away. For some people, depilatories last no longer than shaving, while others are hair-free for several days. The process is not always painless, but is definitely less painful than waxing. The creams can be bought for a few dollars at any drug store.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method. A needle is placed in a hair follicle and electric current is delivered to the follicle. This damages the hair, and it does not return. This method works well for small localized areas of hair, but can be time consuming and costly for large patches, as each hair must be done individually. Also, if the needle is not inserted just right, the hair may need to be retreated, and often an area must be treated three to four times before the hair is permanently removed. While the needle should not puncture the skin, electrolysis can be painful. It is recommended that electrolysis be done by a professional home treatment methods are difficult and generally unsuccessful.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is another permanent hair removal method. It is a more recent method, and data as to its long-term effectiveness is still being gathered. Light from a laser is pointed at a small area of skin. The energy from the light is absorbed by the dark hair pigment, heating and damaging the follicle. This method does not work for white or grey hair or for people with dark skin and light hair. Because this method does not require each hair to be treated individually, this method is much quicker and less expensive for larger areas such as the legs as compared to electrolysis. If you are interested in laser hair removal, find a reputable professional. Laser hair removal can cause permanent skin damage if not performed properly. It can be painful, but as more research continues to be gathered, its looking more and more like a viable option for many people. The only place laser hair removal should not be performed is around the eyes, as it could cause permanent eye damage.

Vaniqa

Vaniqa is a cream designed specifically to target facial hair in women. It is intended to slow the growth of this hair, and is designed to be used with other nonpermanent methods of hair removal. It is available by prescription only, and has been shown to be effective in almost 60% of the patients in the trial. It is currently only for use by women over 12.

Remember when your mother always told you that you didn't really want to start shaving? But you insisted that you would want to continue for the rest of your life. However, for many women, unwanted hair causes major stress and discomfort everyday. You should now be able to more easily choose between the many hair removal methods and choose the one that is right for you.

If you have dull and damaged hair, choosing a new hairstyle for an image makeover is quite challenging. This is for reason that you hair many not come out looking beautiful and not what you have intended and desired it to be. Nevertheless, some know how can help you achieve a better and more appropriate hairstyle for you. Here is how:

Choose a hairstyle that flaunts your hair?s natural form and texture. If you have a curly hair, scrap the idea of going through hair treatments like hair rebonding and hair straightening to make your hair straight. The advent of many hairstyling processes has led to a trend in altering the hair?s natural form and texture but these also result in undesirable dulling of hair, split ends and hair damage. If you are thinking about changing your hairstyle, go for a style that is most compatible with the form and texture of your hair. It does not only bring out your hair?s natural beauty but also prevents further damage that can be caused by the heat and chemicals that are applied during hair altering processes.

Cut your hair short when it is necessary. Many women aspire to have long hair but when you have been telling yourself about how bad your hair looks like when you are in front of the mirror or when split ends become very noticeable, you might consider cutting your hair short. This will help in eliminating dull and damaged hair ends and also helps your hair revive its health and beauty.

Avoid hairstyles that can aggravate your hair?s damaged condition. When choosing a hairstyle, be very sensitive to your hair?s needs. This means that when your hair has become unmanageable and damaged from hair coloring, choose a hairstyle that does not necessitate applying dyes and chemicals to your hair. Similarly, avoid altering your hair?s natural form when it entails chemical and heat processes that will bring more damage to your hair. You might also consider choosing a hairstyle that you can wear as is when you go to work or to a party because this will help in eliminating the use of chemicals like hairsprays that can be detrimental to the health of your hair.

Choosing a new hairstyle for an image makeover will not be as challenging when you have some know how in choosing a hairstyle regardless if you have dull and damaged hair. Remember to choose a hairstyle that flaunts your hair?s natural form and texture to cut your hair short when it is necessary and to avoid hairstyles that can aggravate your hair?s damaged condition

If you are losing your hair and you are afraid that you will go bald, there are many different kinds of hair growth products on the market. When choosing the hair growth products you need, one thing that you should look at it is the product?s ability to accelerate hair growth and rejuvenate dead hair follicles. Most men and women like to choose products made of herbs because they don?t like using the products that contain chemicals that could cause harmful side effects.

You have to read the information about the hair growth products that are available. Any product that claims to inhibit hair loss is making invalid claims. There are no legitimate products on the market with the ability to do this. One remarkable product is a hair growth pill that you can get without a doctor?s prescription, but you should check with the doctor before you take it. Even though many of these pills are herbal, there are still side effects. Women should avoid using this hair growth product because it does cause hair growth all over the body- not just on the head.

If you don?t want to visit your doctor for a prescription for a hair loss product, you should check the pharmacy for many generic hair growth products or check online. When you check on line for a listing of these hair growth products you can read about the research and clinical studies that prove they work. You just have to remember that whether you use a shampoo, a topical solution or a hair growth pill that what works for one person may not work for you. Everyone is different and you should search for the causes of the hair loss first.

Some hair growth products are topical treatments rather than a hair growth pill. To use this type of product you have to apply it to the scalp when you wash your hair. You apply it directly to the scalp twice a day. Most users do this in the morning and then before they go to bed each night. You have to be very careful that you don?t get it on the skin of any other part of the body and doctors tell you to avoid this hair growth product is you are pregnant or nursing. The active ingredient in this product is the same one used in medications that lower high blood pressure, so it is important to make sure your doctor checks out your medical history before prescribing this hair growth product.

Have you ever heard the saying ?Bald is beautiful?. If you are experiencing hair loss why not avoid hair growth products and let nature take its course.

Hair growth products do work, but not for everybody.

Do you want to retain your natural hair color without resorting to dyes? Do you want a fuller, thicker head of hair? Do you want to give shine and moisture back to your dry and dull hair? If you answer yes to all these questions, then feeding your hair vitamins is the way to do it.

No to gray

The hair is colored by the production of a pigment called melanin which is also found in our skin. Specialized organelles in the hair root called melanocytes produce melanin. A vitamin called Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) can help in keeping the production of melanin high. This vitamin is one of the many kinds of B-complex vitamins and is best for retaining your hair's natural color.

No more hair fall

Hair falls out because of the presence of the androgen Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. The presence of this hormone is more pronounced in men than in women, at least until women reach the age of menopause. To keep your hair full and thick and to control hair fall, make sure the hair vitamin or hair product you select has Lenoleic Acid or Alpha Lenolenic Acid because it is an effective DHT inhibiting agent.

Damaged no more

Parched, lifeless hair is caused by too much exposure to the sun, wind, and water. The excessive use of hair styling products, blow drying, hair perm, hair straightening, hair coloring and use of other chemical treatments can also damage the hair and make it dry and dull. To bring back the luster in your hair, buy a hair vitamin or hair product with the chemical inositol in it. This strengthens the cell membranes in the hair and also causes the hair to retain more moisture. Vitamin E is also an essential hair vitamin. It replaces the moisture lost not only in the hair, but in the skin as well.
