Richard Farrell Discusses Diseases Related to the Scalp Which Can Cause Hair Loss


Richard Farrell’s professional expertise and ingenious artistic techniques have created an increasing demand for his advice, with appearances on talk shows, at trade shows, hair loss conventions, seminars and movie sets.

There is no known cause for alopecia areata and therefore no known cure
There are a variety of hair and scalp diseases; some are very common, while other more severe hair and scalp diseases are fortunately rare. Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune skin disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack the hair follicles, causing baldness in patches. It affects 1.7 percent of the population, including 4.7 million people in the United States. In cases where the disease progresses to the point where all scalp hair is lost, it is called Alopecia Totalis, and where hair loss advances to the entire body it is called Alopecia Universialis. There is no known cause for alopecia areata and therefore no known cure. The disease usually hits before age 20, and does not seem to favor one particular gender or culture. Hair loss with alopecia areata comes in stages, with hair returning and falling out in phases. Learn more about solving your hair loss: http://www.farrellhair.com/Men-Hair-Loss.aspx.




Japanese scientists have linked the overproduction of sebum to hair loss
Seborrheic Dermatitis, an advanced form of seborrhea, is a non-contagious skin disease that causes excessive oiliness of the skin, most commonly in the scalp, caused by overproduction of sebum, the substance produced by the body to lubricate the skin where hair follicles are present. Seborrhea is the form of the disease where oiliness only occurs without redness and scaling. The disease commonly occurs in infants, middle-aged people, and the elderly, and is commonly known in infants as cradle cap. The disease has no cure, yet in infants it usually disappears in time. With adults the condition may persist with varying degrees of severity. Flaking, scaling and redness often are symptoms of this disease. It is easily treated with topical solutions found in creams containing corticosteroids and shampoos containing pine tar, selenium sulfide or salicylic acid. Seborrhea and seborrheic dermatitis are both easily treated and controlled, and should be because left untreated they can contribute to hair loss. In fact, a group of Japanese scientists have linked the overproduction of sebum to hair loss. This is because the sebaceous glands in areas of the scalp where hair is thinning or bald are enlarged, and are thought to cause the clogging of pores and several other problems that promote hair loss.


Psoriasis is termed an immune-mediated disorder that affects different areas and functions of the body. It is non-contagious, and one of the areas of the body it can affect is the scalp. It usually appears as patches of raised red skin accompanied by burning and itching. Several contributing factors are thought to contribute to the outbreak of psoriasis, including emotional stress, certain infections, toxemia, the thinning of the intestinal walls and adverse reactions to certain drugs. At least half of people who have psoriasis have scalp psoriasis. Like seborrhea, scalp psoriasis left untreated can cause hair loss. Fortunately, it can also be treated with a variety of topical creams and shampoos containing tar and salicylic acid.

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.

Farrell Hair systems give you all of your hair back exactly like it used to grow. We achieve results that cannot be achieved with expensive and invasive hair transplant surgeries and potentially dangerous chemicals such as Propecia and Rogaine.

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.

Hair Replacement Journal - Wearing a Farrell Hair System at a Water-Park The Ultimate Test


Farrell Hair systems are so incredible we have clients keeping journals about their hair systems. In this episode Austin is on vacation at a water park in Texas. Let’s see if the hair system can stand up to the ultimate test.

Awesome water based theme park - not hair system friendly
For those of you who have never heard of Schlitterbahn, it is awesome water based theme park. Every single ride is powered by water so this will be a great test for the Farrell System. We arrived at the water park and I have to be honest, I was a little freaked out. I have never seen so much water in my life. Not only that, I did not see a single head of dry hair in the place. Come see the finest hair replacement systems in the world: http://www.farrellhair.com.

My girlfriend and I got in the raft and we were pushed off to embark on the best water ride in America. At first I was very paranoid then I remember thinking, this isn’t so bad. The water propelled us up the tube then down again. There was water here and there but nothing to be worried about since I have 100% confidence in my Farrell hair system. Then it happened. A sudden rush of water hit my face. The only thing I can compare to is someone turning a fire hose on and aiming at my head. I am not talking about a water hose you would use at your house. I am talking about one of those huge hoses used to put out fires. It happened so fast, I felt like I was going to go in to shock. The awful thing about this was, I couldn’t check because my hands were clutching the raft in fear of me falling out. I thought for sure I was going to have a problem. I remember looking around and seeing if it had actually come completely off. That’s how bad it was.

My system had not moved or loosened at all
Once we got to the bottom we were thrown in to a pool and I immediately checked to see if it was still there. It was of course but since I am now officially drenched, I had to make my way to the nearest bathroom to make sure it wasn’t doing anything funny. I kept my head down and found the bathroom and looked in the mirror. At that moment I was really proud to be a Farrell Hair customer. As I looked at my system in the mirror, I noticed two things. The first was my hair system had not moved or loosened at all. I think that is a testament to the research they put in to their adhesive products. I mean it was like nothing had ever happened. The second was the way my system looked completely wet. My hair system looked amazing. The only way to describe it is to say that it looked no different than if it was my real hair. The way it fell on my face looked like completely natural. The coolest part was (no pun intended) the way the hair fell, it exposed my scalp and you could not tell the difference between this and real head of hair. I brushed it off my face and face the rest of the day with a new found confidence.

Hair Replacement Journal - Wearing a Farrell Hair System in 107 Degrees with Extreme Humidity

Farrell Hair Replacement hair systems are so incredible we actually have clients keeping journals when they are wearing their hair systems. In this article we have Austin who is on vacation in Texas and the weather is extreme.

San Antonio, Texas in the dead of summer
If you have ever been to San Antonio in the summer, you know it is like walking into an oven when you go outside. I love Texas but dang, it gets hot! We planned an all day trip to visit the Alamo, hang out at the river walk and go up in the Tower of the Americas. Trust me when I say it was hot. Temperatures peaked at 107 and the humidity was ridiculous. Come see the finest hair replacement systems in the world: http://www.farrellhair.com.

Farrell hair systems withstanding heat and extreme humidity
The one thing I kept thinking was even though this is a Farrell system, will the adhesive hold. The first few hours we were at the Alamo I would slip into a bathroom and check the system thinking it might be coming loose on the hair line because I was sweating so much. To my surprise the hair system stood up beautifully and was on tight and my hair style was still looking sweet. Speaking of hair style, there is one thing I noticed and I think only Farrell systems do this because they design each system custom with a part line like your real hair. When I would sweat, my system still looked normal. When I would splash water on it, it would fall just like my real hair. It must be the way they make them because I was pretty impressed with how the system would adapted to my environment.

After a few hours of checking the system every time I saw a bathroom, my paranoia dissipated and after a while I completely forgot I was wearing a hair system and just enjoyed the day.

All and all it was a great day in Texas
Just for the record, I use Farrell’s own Blue Adhesive so your experience may vary depending on what kind you use.

The Final grade for testing the Farrell System in extreme humidity is A+. I couldn’t have been happier with the way the hair system stood up in this heat. After what seemed like 40 gallons of sweat leaving my body, Farrell’s System still looked great at the end of the day.

If you live somewhere like Texas where there is extreme heat and humidity and are worried about the performance of the system, don’t be. If you look on Farrell’s website at www.farrellhair.com, he talks about how they design their system to breath. I never really understood what that meant until today. That is one of the pluses with a Farrell system. Unlike like traditional systems, He creates his so if you sweat, the system allows for the sweat to come through the hair system like it would with real hair. Pretty cool!
