Richard Farrell Explores Hereditary Hair Loss - Symptoms and Causes

Award-winning Hair Replacement innovator Richard Farrell is the most sought after expert in the international non-surgical hair replacement arena. His artistic techniques have been featured on TV talk shows and Hollywood movie sets.

The most common form of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, which can affect both men and women. Women are usually affected less than men, which is why this condition is commonly referred to as Male Pattern Baldness. The condition is so common that it can almost be regarded as a part of the normal aging process. Although androgenetic alopecia is hereditary, contrary to popular belief, it is not passed down through only the mother’s side of the family. Either side of the family can pass down the genetic disposition toward baldness. Learn more: http://www.farrellhair.com/Men-Hair-Loss.aspx.

Symptoms Of Hereditary Hair Loss
The pattern of hair loss and baldness are different for men and women.
On men, the most notable symptom of the onset of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is hair loss along the hairline that gradually recedes into an “M” shape. The hair at the crown begins to thin, eventually meeting the receding hairline and creating a horseshoe pattern of hair around the sides of the head. Male pattern baldness is typically diagnosed by the appearance of this pattern. Other diseases such as alopecia areata or folliculitis may cause dissimilar balding patterns and should not be diagnosed as male pattern baldness.

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

Causes Of Androgenetic Alopecia
The skin has three 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 extends from a growth zone in the bottom of each hair follicle and out at the skin surface. In common forms of hair loss, a substance in the body, dihydroxy-testosterone (DHT), gives a signal to the cells in the hair follicles that causes these cells to divide less than normal, slowing or stopping the production of hair.

DHT is a metabolic product of testosterone, the male sex hormone. Women also have testosterone and DHT in their bodies, therefore hair loss can also affect them. Only cells that are susceptible to the influence from DHT will slow their growth process. This susceptibility is inherited from the parents by some individuals. Follicle cells in the lower parts of the head are usually resistant to the influence of DHT, which is why these areas seldom become bald.

Hair Loss - How Important is Our Hair and What Happens When We Start to Loose Our Hair

For men and women who have experienced hair loss the experience is devastating. Historically there have only been two options for hair loss, neither ideal. But with today’s hair replacement technology hair loss is… history!

A good deal of women suffer from thinning hair
Historically, hair signified power. (Everyone knows the story of Samson who lost his power after his wife Delilah cut off his long hair). Today, hair is essential to our notion of beauty. Yet over 50% of men suffer from slight or severe baldness and a good deal of women suffer from thinning hair. Find out more at FarrellHair.com: http://www.farrellhair.com/Women-Hair-Loss.aspx.

On average, people lose about 10% of their hair during a resting phase. After about three months, resting hair falls out and new hair begins to grow. The phase of new growing hair typically lasts anywhere from two to six years with hair growing about one-half to one-inch per month. As much as 90% of the hair on your head is growing at any given time.

Hair loss can cause serious problems with self-confidence
Shedding hair is a normal process. In fact, on a normal day, you would lose about 100 hairs. You will lose more if going through significant hair loss. Although hair loss is not life or health threatening, it can cause serious problems with a person’s psyche and self-confidence.

Hair Replacement Journal - Wearing a Farrell Hair Replacement System in Texas Heat and Humidity

Farrell Hair systems are so incredible we have clients keeping journals about their hair systems. Farrell client Austin is ending his vacation and describes the experience of wearing a hair replacement system in heat and humidity.

I have worn a Farrell System for almost two years now
At this point I am almost half way through my vacation and the Farrell Hair Replacement System has held up beautifully. Today is the day I do the big roller coaster test. Since I have worn a Farrell System for almost two years now, I have ridden a few roller coasters and there has never been a problem. However the roller coaster I will ride today is a hyper coaster called the Steel Eel. This ride has a 15 story drop and gets up to 65 mph. According to the Sea World website, the main difference between a roller coaster and a hyper coaster is the amount of air time and weightlessness you feel with a hyper coaster. Come see the finest hair replacement systems in the world: http://www.farrellhair.com/Men-Hair-Loss.aspx.

All I can say is WOWmy hair system. I do remember thinking If this thing is going to come off it will be now because not only were we going 65 mph but we were being thrown around like little rag dolls. Of course when I checked the hair system was still there and on tight.

It really does mimic your real hair in every way
On the way out, we stopped by those little stands those sale pictures of you riding the coaster. I was curious to see what my hair system looked like at 65 mph, so I stopped and checked it out. When my picture was finally around I was really amazed. I looked at all of the other people first. Their hair was flying all over the place like it should and I looked at mine, it was doing the same thing. Even at high speeds the Farrell Hair System looks real. That is one of the great things about Farrell Hair System. It really does mimic your real hair in every way.

I don’t think traditional or low cost hair systems can give you that kind of freedom. We spent the rest of the day see shows, riding rides and went swimming in their pool. I have to say I couldn’t be happier with my hair system. The Farrell Hair System score for the amusement park test is A+. Tomorrow we are going swimming all day and I know I will be diving and swimming under water a lot. I did bring a swimmers cap but hopefully I won’t need it.
