While it's not a very common disorder, hair loss does occur in children for various reasons. Often for children, the hair loss will cease without medical attention and the hair will re-grow. But it is still wise in most cases to have a doctor examine the child.

There are a variety of medical conditions that can cause childhood hair loss or alopecia. Here are some of the causes:

Tinea Capsistis - is a fungal infection of the scalp, hair follicles, eyebrows and lashes. The more common name for this condition is ringworm of the scalp. The fungus invades the hair shafts and the hair breaks of at the scalp line, leaving a stubbly look, and a round hairless spot. The skin may also be slightly scaly and there may be mild itching as well. While ringworm is not dangerous, it can occasionally produce swelling in the scalp that's called a kerion that's pus-filled and painful. For this reason, and that it can be highly contagious, and that the hair loss can be considerable, ringworm should always be treated. If it's not, it can sometimes lead to permanent baldness.

Traction alopecia - is hair loss caused by over-stressing of the hair with tight, pulling hairstyles or by overuse of some styling methods. Such hair treatments as straightening, curling, relaxing, dyeing, combing, brushing and blow drying can lead to traction alopecia. Because children tend to have less robust hair than adults, these styling methods can damage their finer, less dense hair, which can lead to hair loss. It makes sense for children (and really for anybody) that hair is handled as gently as possible. Over-anything done to it can potentially cause problems. If hair loss does result from traction alopecia, stop doing whatever is causing it and allow the hair to recover. It may take a few months, but this is preferable to the alternative, which is continued use of the problem causing method and perhaps permanent loss.

Alopecia areata - is another form of hair loss that affects children. It appears as suddenly bald patches on the scalp. There can be just a few of these patches or in some cases the loss of hair on the entire head (alopecia totalis), as hair falls out from the root. This is not a life-threatening disorder though, and the majority of children who develop it grow hair back within a year. The cause is not well understood, but affects mostly those from 5 to 12 years of age. When hair grows back it may come in colored white, but eventually returns to its original color.

Children's trichotillomania - is the compulsive twirling or pulling of the hair, resulting in patches of hair loss. It can be diagnosed by watching your child closely if he or she starts to develop irregular patches of baldness. Trichotillomania may include the pulling of eyebrows and lashes. The hair loss is usually in the form of broken hair of different lengths patchy. This type of loss usually resolves itself.

Telogen effluvium - is another common cause of hair loss in children and results from a number of causes. Hair that is in its growth cycle changes to the resting cycle, after which it will shed. The causes are high fever, emotional stress, flu, medical treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery, too much vitamin A and dieting. The hair may take a few months to begin the growth cycle again, so it may be slow to return.

Hair loss in children will cause alarm in most parents. But most of the conditions are not truly dangerous or life threatening. Nonetheless, in most cases, it makes sense to err on the side of caution and to visit your child's doctor.

Many women will experience hair loss following pregnancy. It is a perfectly normal occurrence, and doesn?t require any treatment, as your hair is simply returning to its pre-pregnancy state.

Normal Hair Growth

Hair normally goes through an anagen cycle ? the growth phase ? and telogen ? the resting phase. The anagen cycle lasts four to seven years, when you will experience hair growth of about half an inch per month. After the growth period, the hair enters the resting phase, which will usually last about three months. Then follows anagen again, growing a fresh hair and pushing the old one out of the follicle, so that it falls out. Some hair follicles can be in telogen all the time, and it is considered normal to lose 50 to 100 hairs a day.

Hair Growth During Pregnancy

One of the many things that makes a pregnant woman look beautiful is their thick, luxurious hair. This is caused by the hormones of pregnancy keeping most hair follicles in the anagen state, or growing. If you normally lose 100 hairs a day, and pregnancy lasts 280 days, the result is a lot of hair that you get to keep during that period.

What Happens After Pregnancy

Once the baby is born, however, hormones change rapidly, and all those hair follicles will go into the resting state, or telogen, at the same time. Telogen lasts about three months, so about three months after the baby is born, all 28,000 of those hairs will fall out at about the same time.

Unfortunately, this hair loss is happening at about the same time that you are experiencing a huge emotional letdown from pregnancy and you?re also sleep deprived. It can be enough to send a girl over the edge!

Taking Care of Yourself

When you experience hair loss following pregnancy, it?s time to do something for yourself. Have Daddy or a friend look after the baby for a few hours and get yourself to a good hairdresser.

The most effective (and enjoyable) way to manage hair loss after pregnancy is to treat yourself to an attractive new hairdo. Ask your hairdresser to give you a good cut, and maybe some highlights or new color as well. Ask for a style that is easily managed on your busy schedule, but that also looks great on you.

Why not try out some new volumizing hair products as well? Shampoo, conditioner, mousse, and hair serum can all make your hair look and feel thicker and fuller than it really is. Pretty barrettes and clips can also help you feel and look prettier.

Hair loss after pregnancy is a normal and natural occurrence. You?re not going bald - your hair won?t fall out completely. You?re just losing the ?extra? hair that you grew during your pregnancy. You are equally as beautiful as a new mom as you were prior to pregnancy, but you probably won?t have the same amount of time to spend on your hair. A new hairdo that?s easy to maintain can make you feel as lovely as you look. Go get it!

Dogs have long been known as “man's best friend”. If you own a dog, you've likely already discovered the truth of that statement. Our dogs bring us hours of joy and companionship, provide unconditional love, and ask very little in return. But your dog does rely on you to provide the care required to keep your dog healthy, safe, and happy.

Fortunately, there are many simple things you can do to help maintain your dog's health.

One of the most important things you can do for your dog is to make sure your dog is kept up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations.

Vaccinations, often simply called “shots”, work to protect your dog against many different illnesses which could be quite serious, even fatal, for your dog should your dog catch these diseases. When your dog is fully vaccinated, these diseases no longer pose a significant threat to your dog. Your dog's veterinarian can easily help you determine which vaccinations your dog needs and how often your dog needs to be vaccinated. This will vary depending on your dog's individual lifestyle, your dog's risk of exposure, your dog's age, and your dog's previous vaccination history. If you are unsure which vaccinations your dog needs, or are not sure whether your dog is vaccinated properly, please contact your dog's veterinarian at once.

Another very simple thing that you can do for your dog's health is to make sure your dog is protected against heartworms. Heartworms are, as the name suggests, worms which live inside of your dog's heart. They can cause a great deal of damage to your dog's heart in a very short period of time. Your dog can be exposed to heartworms very easily through the bite of a mosquito.

Fortunately, preventing heartworms is easy and safe, through the use of medications which only need to be administered on a monthly basis. If your dog has not previously been tested for heartworms, a simple blood test performed by your dog's veterinarian can determine whether or not your dog is already infected before starting the preventive medication.

Fleas and ticks are another risk to your dog's health. Both fleas and ticks can cause significant health problems for your dog. Your dog can also carry these insects into your home where they may also pose a health threat to you and our family. You should check your dog's skin and hair coat regularly for evidence of fleas and ticks and act immediately if you find evidence of them on your dog. Luckily, there are a number of very effective flea and tick medications which are not only safe but easy to use. These products can help keep your dog free of fleas and ticks and assist you in keeping your dog healthy and happy.

Keeping your dog free of internal parasites, frequently called “worms”, is another task which is necessary to keep your dog healthy. Finding out whether your dog is infected with worms is as easy as collecting a small fecal sample to be tested by your dog's veterinarian. Do not assume that your dog has no worms because you do not see them in the stool. Your dog's veterinarian has special laboratory techniques which find the worm eggs in your dog's feces. These eggs are too small for you to be able to see. If your dog's veterinarian finds worms in your dog's feces, there are medications which can safely and effectively be used to rid your dog of these worms. Your dog's veterinarian can provide the proper medication for your dog.

Besides preventing the birth of unwanted puppies, spaying or neutering your dog has a number of health benefits for your dog also.

Female dogs that are spayed at a young age are less likely to develop breast cancers later in life and cannot develop the serious, life-threatening uterine infections that unspayed female dogs frequently suffer from.

Neutered male dogs are less likely to develop prostate problems later in life. In addition, your dog's personality and behavior will only improve when spayed or neutered.

Lastly, regular physical examinations by your dog's veterinarian can help detect subtle signs of illness in your dog before the illness becomes serious. Often, early intervention and treatment can solve medical problems even before your dog's health begins to suffer as a result of them. In some instances, early intervention and treatment may drastically prolong the life of your dog.

Choosing the right hair product for your particular hair style and texture can be confusing, especially with all of the hair care product advertisements we are bombarded with on a daily basis. With each commercial, each glossy ad, and each retail display case, companies do their best to convince us that their hair product has just what it takes to take our Medusa locks and turn them into tresses fit for the runway. But can they really do all that they promise? And how do you know which ones are worth investing in and which ones belong in the recycling bin?

Granted, hair products can do wonders when it comes to making your do look the best that it can. But you need to choose the right products or you else you may find yourself rinsing your money right down the drain with your latest expensive hair care product.

Must have hair products

Depending on your hair type, there are several hair products that are essential for everyone.

First, you need a good shampoo that is tailored to your specific hair type. While you don't have to spend a lot of money here, make sure to choose a hair product that contains no waxy substances. Waxy substances are used in many of the over-counter hair care products on the market today. If you are unsure which ones contain wax, stick with a professional shampoo. Truly professional shampoos can be found in salons only.

Next, you will need a professional conditioning hair product. If you need to cut costs by purchasing an over-the-counter hair care product, do it with the shampoo, not with your conditioner. Yes, you may spend a few extra dollars, but your hair will thank you for it. Make sure that your conditioner is tailored to your specific hair type. For example: If you have chemically damaged hair, choose a hair product that repairs and strengthens damaged hair.

Lastly, you will need various styling hair products. The ones you choose will depend largely on your style. A good rule of thumb to follow is this: use mousse for light, carefree and blow-dried styles gel for curly and wet-looking styles and pomade for textured, funky and spiked styles. A hair spray with the desired hold should be used to finish off each style.

Expensive verses inexpensive hair care products

I'm a firm believer in that you get what you pay for, but that line seems to get blurred when dealing with professional hair products. Most people believe that when they buy hair products from salons that they are going to end up paying a great deal of money for something that they can pick up in the corner drug store for half the price. But this is not the case.

The main differences between professional and non-professional hair care products are in the quality of the products, not the pricing. I have seen high-quality professional hair products sell for as little as $5 a bottle, the same price that you would pay for many non-professional products. So, you can get a great deal on professional products. The bottom line is that no matter what the price, professional is better.

Now, are high-priced professional hair products better than the inexpensive ones? The answer is surprisingly no. While some professional lines may have individual products that are perfect for your hair and well worth the high price tag, most professional hair care product lines, even the inexpensive ones, have everything that you would ever need to make your hair gorgeous.

So, stop looking at the price tag and glamorous ads and start looking at the back of the bottle to find out what hair products are perfect for you. And if in doubt, ask your stylist.

Times have changed and fashions change, what was once considered a sign of raw manliness is now considered by some to be an unwanted accessory to the skin. We are of course talking about body hair on men.

For the metrosexual man, laser hair removal seems to have become increasingly fashionable as a hair removal method to get that “dolphin smooth” look as I term it. You know what it is like if you have ever touched this marine creature it's that squeaky rubbery perfectly hairless physique that can be truly breathtaking to sight and touch.

Well hairy backs may be all well and good for some guys and their partners, for some who aren't as comfortable with it there is now a permanent hair removal solution to the problem… laser hair removal. It works by basically frying hair follicles in the skin by targeting them with selected types of laser light, it can provide a real solution to the constant human problem of excessive unwanted hair on the body.

To brutally honest, laser hair removal is not cheap, nor should it be considering it is a cutting edge technology for hair removal. If you want the cheapest far from cutting edge method you could stick with a razor… (Excuse the pun). Hair removal lasers are not cheap to purchase and operate, and take a skilled practitioner, so you should be prepared and willing to pay the price to use it. The tremendous upside of it though, is that it is truly a way to dramatically reduce unwanted hair and prevent it from returning, and there is no way waxing or shaving can do that.

Laser back hair removal is obviously going to be expensive, as it is pretty much the largest surface on the body and laser hair removal clinics charge by the amount of area that needs to be treated. Also be aware that virtually all parts of the body will require multiple treatments with the hair removal laser, especially areas of the body with stubborn hairs like on the shoulders and backs of some men.

Probably the best news about hair removal laser treatments is that they work best on men with the darkest hair and reasonably light skin tone, which of course is the most noticeably hairy combination to the outward observer because of the contrast. Those with other skin types and hair colour combinations can also benefit greatly from laser hair removal treatments, as there are different laser systems used to cater for a wide variety of hair/ skin combinations.

If you are the generously hairy type and you are ready to consider getting back hair removal with laser treatment, do some searching and track down a website with more information or a laser hair removal clinic near you and you can look forward to being squeaky smooth and free of back hair.

Introduction

Overexposure to sun, salt and chlorine can do significant damage to your hair. When you subject your hair to such conditions, sebum - oil that lubricates your hair shaft - can start to build up in your follicles. As time passes, your follicles can become blocked creating further damage to your hair.

General Tips

Your hair is like a sponge absorbing water. Before you get in the pool, wet your hair with non-chlorinated water. If you allow it to absorb non-chlorinated water first, it won't be able to absorb so much chlorinated water in the pool.

Always rinse your hair after swimming. Chlorine in many pools will not only dry out your hair but it will dull your color as well. After Swimming use a good 'clarifying' shampoo. The main ingredient to look for is EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid). It is like a chemical claw that will remove chlorine from your hair.

Don't brush hair when wet. Instead, comb it with a wide-tooth comb, working tangles out as you move from the ends toward the scalp. Don't over dry. When you blow dry, dry the hair until it is almost, but not completely, dry. Leave some moisture in to prevent static. Use care when styling. Your hair will be better-off if you don't use styling appliances, but if you must - do not let your hair get too hot and avoid aggressive manipulation of your hair.

In addition to applying sunscreen to your skin 30 minutes before significant sun exposure (which you always do, right?), if you are not going to wear a hat also apply sunscreen to your hair, and re-apply after swimming.

Prevention is always the best policy. In the sun, wear a hat or cap to avoid sun damage. Unfortunately, many people reading this article will have already suffered the agonies of damaged or unhealthy hair. It's important to stop further damage now, and get a repair program started.

Drinking enough water every day is a good way to lubricate damaged or excessively dry hair. Drink plenty of liquids like herbal teas, fruit juices, or sport drinks. Be moderate in your use of alcoholic beverages, coffee, and colas as they can cause dehydration to your hair and skin.

Green Hair

Most obvious on blondes, green hair is caused by substances such as nickel and chlorine that are found in swimming pools and in hard and well water. This condition also tends to affect repeatedly bleached hair. It is almost never seen in black hair, as the green becomes lost in the background color.

Green hair is most often caused by swimming pool water, especially where chloride treatment or copper algaecides are used. Green hair may also be the result of high levels of copper in pipes in your home.

The chemical causing green hair could come from your water company's treatment plant, or from new copper piping at home. Green hair can even follow a long soak in a bath that has been cleaned with old bathroom cleaners containing high chloride levels.

Green Hair Repair

Rinsing with lemon juice may improve the color of your hair. In addition, consider this shampoo as usual, but add 1/4 cup baking soda to your shampoo. Shampooing with this mixture once a week it will not only remove all hair spray, styling gels, and other products, it will remove impurities from the water and lighten your hair.

There are also a number of commercial products that can help remove green colour from your hair: an experienced hair stylist should be able to guide you. Shampoos are available that remove trace minerals. If they don't do the trick, a hair care professional can apply low-level bleach to your hair for about five minutes to remove any unwanted green color.

Some people are just born with raw talent. David Biton, founder of Davis Hair Creation in Tel Aviv, Israel was born with a talent for hairdressing.

David immigrated to Israel with his family at the age of 2 months. At the age of 14 he enrolled in hairdressing school and shortly after completion obtained is first job at a leading Tel Aviv salon. Even at this early stage, David?s artistic approach and ease at performing delicate, at times complex formations were apparent. Artistic talent runs in David?s family as his father was a decorator and painter and now his son is a qualified hairdresser at Tony and Guy in London.

David eventually opened his own salon, specializing in bridal hair styles and special events hair styling. Over the years David has styled for Miss Israel competitions and fashion shows, has participated and earned acclaim in numerous hair styling competitions in Europe and started his top hair styling school in Tel Aviv. The key factors to David?s success have been passion, imagination, embracing change and most importantly talent.

As a leader in hair style fashion, David sees current hair style trends to include soft styles that are easy to form. He adds, ?The 60?s is a strong influence but the chignons are understated and not as puffed up as they were then. Women are beginning to feel more comfortable with wearing their hair up and just adding a few small styling touches, like soft back-combing and wearing a headband or scarf, to jazz it up. However, women do differentiate the day to day hair updos, which are more casually assembled, from evening and special occasion hairdressing, which usually possess more elegance and grace.?

The use of different colors and highlights can also create hair style fashions. In Israel there are many types of hairs, colors and shades as Israel is a country that has all types of people from all over the world. There are trends in the color industry to combine a few different colors together all over the hair or on the ends, which is currently favored by his younger clientele.

Another trend growing in popularity everywhere in the world is hair extensions. Hair extensions involve attaching human or synthetic hair to the natural hair by one of many different methods available today in order to create instant natural looking long, thick hair. David explains that in Israel most women prefer medium to long hair and use hair extensions to achieve the look. Hair extensions are very acceptable in Israel at this time and his salon offers all methods of hair extensions including human and synthetic hair for any and all hair types and requirements.

In addition to offering regular salon services, David offers training courses for hairdressers to learn his techniques to create various styles. To supplement his hair style courses, David created and published books and DVD?s to give students additional reference materials and also to document the vast amount of work he had achieved. His first book was a compilation of hair styling ideas and images from the past 30 years documenting various shows and ?chignons? he had styled.

The step-by-step books, available in English and French, were published following the recognition that this area is greatly under developed internationally and most books in circulation are outdated and not visually pleasing. Davis Hair Creation?s books offer a range of beautifully styled and finished images, ranging from modern classics to fashionable and abstract, all detailed in easy to follow steps. The books also feature classic chignons and push the boundaries to offer stylists the ability to learn more modern and artistic techniques.

The courses offered by Davis Hair Creation range from the very basic for hairdressers with no previous styling experience to advance techniques for the confident hairdressers. Davis Hair Creation has several new books coming up in 2006, including one for the consumer, along with a big launch show in Israel for the two step by step books/DVD?s and three gallery books. They will be participating in three European exhibitions and hopefully preparing for their first appearance in Cosmoprof Bologna in 2006.

In addition to his many achievements, David won first prize in the International hair competition in Cannes, and he was involved in a mega exhibition at Tel Aviv?s Cinerama where he presented on stage no less than 120 models in one evening. David represented Israel at the ?Peace Festival? for hairdressers in Egypt and was asked by the Governmental Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labour to train hairdressing teachers to teach his techniques in the official curriculum.

David also performs various demonstrations and shows in Israel with a more artistic twist. He specializes in integrating his hand made jewelry into his styles and creating chignons that are more like sculptures. A few previous figures include fire, hearts, bows and spirals. David?s shows are a celebration of imagination, fantasy and fun.

In short, David Biton is a prime example of someone who has achieved excellence in hairdressing. With over 35 years in the hairdressing business, multiple shows and awards, and literally thousands of very satisfied clients, Davis Hair Creation and founder David Biton offer men and women the ultimate gift?to have fabulous looking hair and/or to learn step-by-step how to create it for your own clients.
