Although January 1st will bring in a new year, you don’t have to look another year older. One of the major physical traits that make women look older than they are is thinning hair. HPI can help you with that issue easily.
But what’s the point of looking younger if you’re not feeling the part?

Women asking about hair transplants might be interested to know that surgical hair replacement is only an option for about 2%-5% of the women with hair loss.
The majority of women with hair loss experience an overall thinning usually because dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has caused the follicles to shrink overall , therefore they don’t have the capability to provide donor hair from a stable area that hasn’t been affected by the DHT.
Many women with female pattern thinning, alopecia or other forms of hair loss have opted to restore their hair with a custom human hair addition. A custom human hair prosthesis can provide as much or as little coverage as necessary, can be washed and styled just like natural growth hair and look so natural, no one would know it’s a hair addition.
If you are a woman with hairloss that’s interested in a surgical solution, it’s best to first have the cause of your hair loss diagnosed by a dermatologist, then you will know which route is best for your hair restoration.

Remember the days when photos were taken, developed and eventually tucked away in a photo album rarely to be seen again? Printed photos are a bad enough reminder for women with thinning hair who dread being a part of these holiday etched memories, but much to their dismay, digital photography has upped the ante.
Would you be surprised if I told you that for every 10 people you meet with hair loss problems, four of them will be women?
However, if any of those four women with a hair loss issue were wearing a hair prosthesis from HPI, we’re certain you wouldn’t count them because our hair additions look so natural, you wouldn’t know these women have any hair loss problem at all.
Hair Prosthesis Institute has been providing solutions for women and children with hair loss issues for over 15 years, so we witness first hand how devasting living with hair loss can be for a woman’s self image and how quickly a human hair addition can restore her self confidence and smile.

During our consultations at HPI, we talk to many women with hair loss resulting from hormonal or thyroid issues and I can’t help but wonder exactly how much of those type of problems are caused by environmental elements.
Among the articles I’ve read recently, I thought this one had some interesting tips for relatively easy ways we can detox ourselves from chemicals found around us every day. For instance, I’ve chosen to store most of my leftover foods in glass containers instead of plastic and buy organic fruits and vegetables when I can. And I’m using my iron skillet more these days.

At HPI, we’re always interested in advances in cancer prevention, new treatment options, etc. I remember not long ago a study that was published that cautioned women from having two or more alcoholic drinks per day as that could lead to breast cancer.
Now it seems, that warning may need to be slightly modified. Another study recently released claims that the benefits of red wine may include slowing the growth of breast cancer cells!

Hair Prosthesis Institute serves many women battling breast cancer and although each individual’s struggle is different, during our private consultation session we may share some of the common threads of hair loss from our experience of being in this business over 17 years.
There is so much information floating around about breast cancer, especially in October during Breast Cancer Awareness month, but isn’t there always some new little tidbit to learn, no matter how much you thought you already knew?
For instance, one study suggests that lonely women are at higher risk of having breast cancer than women that gather often with friends.
And the genetic link to breast cancer can as easily come from your father’s side of the family as your mother’s side.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Hair Prosthesis Institute serves many women diagnosed with breast cancer. We’re happy that what we do can restore some sense of confidence during such a challenging time. When my sister lost her hair during her cancer treatments years ago, I wasn’t able to find her anything that was comfortable or looked natural to replace her beautiful hair. That experience propelled me into this business and I’m glad to say others have benefitted from it.
Most of our clients are amazed that no one, not even their doctors or nurses, notices that their hair prosthesis is not their natural hair growth! This enables them to maintain control over their outward appearance instead of letting it be dictated by the disease. And when something like breast cancer creates chaos in your life, control over any aspect of it is a welcomed sense of power.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the importance of maintaining monthly breast self-exams, but are you aware there are more symptoms of breast cancer than finding a lump? I found an interesting online article that explains other symptoms of breast cancer that could be cause for concern and should be checked with your physician. To read more, click here.
