Posted by admin on in hair loss, how to, uniwigs

What causes your hair to thin and how to deal with it, this is a problem. In fact, according to the American Hair Loss Association, approximately 40% of hair loss experiences are incurred by women. Unlike serious hair loss, hair thinning in women is much more gradual and usually does not result in complete baldness. Thinning hair can be caused by a variety of factors:
1. You will definitely lose your hair if your mom or dad did.
2. Hair loss is caused by age.
3. Hair loss is caused by shampoo.
4. The stress factor.

Other potential reasons for thin due to the following:
pregnancy;
an excess of Vitamin A;
lack of protein;
dramatic weight loss;
over-processing your hair;
anemia;
thyroid disease;
autoimmune disorders.

There are some remedies and treatments available to try for thinning hair.

1. Vitamins and supplements are popular for a variety of physical issues, and hair loss is no exception.
apple – insufficient evidence;
atlantic cedar – potentially effective;
beta-sitisterol – insufficient evidence;
biotin – insufficient evidence;
coenxyme Q-10 – insufficient evidence;
garlic – insufficient evidence;
lavender – potentially effective;
zinc – ineffective

2. While surgery may seem like a quick and effective fix to thin hair, it definitely is something that requires thorough consideration. If you would like to consider surgery as an option, make an appointment with a hair loss specialist to discuss options and cost.

3. Home Remedies for Thinning Hair

Eggs
Regular protein treatment can come in the form of raw eggs beat in a bowl and added to the length of hair for approximately 30 minutes. Some prefer to use one egg combined with a tablespoon of hair oil and two tablespoons of water. Mix it up and massage into the scalp. Repeat weekly.

Olive Oil
Another old school favorite, olive oil definitely adds body to your hair. There’s speculation it can strengthen your locks, too, including the roots.

Fenugreek Seeds
Pick these up at a health food store and soak 2-3 tablespoons in water overnight. Grind them to form a paste and apply to your hair and scalp. Leave in for 30 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. If you do this weekly, some studies show it can prevent scalp dryness.

Indian Gooseberry
Tough to find but potentially worth it if you can hunt it down, it may help with a healthy scalp and better hair growth. Mix a tablespoon of gooseberry with two tablespoons of coconut oil. Heat it up until it comes to a boil. Strain the oil and massage the mixture onto your scalp. Keep it in overnight and shampoo in the morning.

Castor Oil
Castor oil has long been touted as a cure-all for many ailments, and hair loss seems to be no exception. Massage your scalp regularly with cold-pressed castor oil and potentially enjoy thicker hair. It is a very fatty kind of oil, which can protect your hair against falling follicles.

Useful Tips to fight thinning hair in women to Have a Fabulous Hair

Posted by admin on in hair loss, hair topper, lavivid, synthetic hair

It is important to understand what hair loss is, so here’s a quick summary: Noramlly a healthy person sheds about 50 to 100 hairs every day, and most of these hairs grow back. A healthy hair has a life cycle of about three to six years. Hair loss becomes a problem when the hairs do not grow back or when hairs are shed at an abnormally rapid rate (several hundreds hairs per day). Hair loss (or alopecia) afflicts millions of people worldwide — including men and women. 24% of women say losing their hair is like losing a limb and the average age of women with thinning hair is 25-35.

Thin hair can be caused by a number of factors, including certain medications and chemotherapy, genetics, rapid weight loss, chronic stress, severe dandruff, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and poor scalp circulation.

Here are our some top tips to help you fight against thinning hair and go from sparse to Fabulous.

1. Eat well and get moving
It’s simple, our bodies thrive on good food and exercise. Not only does it nourish our insides, but exercise will also help to release that ever so important serotonin, to make you feel happier. Hair loss can be a vicious cycle, we lose our hair so we don’t feel great about ourselves, and when we are down in the dumps our body isn’t loving life. So let’s focus on what we can control, and that is what we put in our bellies and how often we get moving. Even a light 30 min walk, 3-4 a week, will help clear the mind and get your serotonin pumping,
When it comes to what we put in, the hair gets off on good proteins, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. Next time you visit the supermarket make sure you stock up on fish, leafy greens, lean meats and chicken, nuts and beans.

2. Minoxoldil
Minoxidil is one of the most commonly sold products which can help women suffering from gradually thinning hair or larger areas of hair loss on the top of the scalp. This product may be known as a more popular name, Rogaine. The 5% strength, Topical Minoxidil solution, is safe for women, and does not require a prescription. The research has shown that 40% of individuals (both men and women) will see new hair growth when Minoxoldil is applied to the scalp twice a day.

3. Cover the thin hair area with a Human Hair Topper
Human Hair Toppers can not only cover the areas on your head that may be experiencing hair loss, but they can also add more volume to your own bio hair. With just a quick flip and clip and there you go with a fuller hair all of sudden.
Hair toppers come in a range of colours and bases that cover smaller to larger areas on the scalp.
When you purchase a Human Hair Topper, the most important things you need to pay attention to is the Color and Base Size of the topper. The Hair Color of the topper should match your own bio hair color. And the Base size should be large enough to color the area of your thinning hair.
The Human Hair Toppers should be made from 100% natural Remy human hair, which can be cut, styled and even coloured to blend in with your natural thinning hair. At Uniwigs, we have a unique collection of 100% Remy Human Hair Toppers for women experiencing hair loss, and take pride in taking the time to match you up with the perfect piece.
