Factors That Determine If A Hair Transplant Is Right For You
If you have areas of very thin hair or baldness, you might be considering a hair transplant. Hair transplants can be done on men and women, and they can transform your appearance. If your hair makes you feel self-conscious, then a hair transplant could make you feel better about yourself and the way you look. First, the doctor decides if the surgery is suitable for you. Here are some factors that affect if you'll be able to have a hair transplant.
If You Have Enough Healthy Hair
The hair used in transplants comes from your own hair. You'll need healthy hair on the back of your head before you can have a transplant. If you're completely bald, then the procedure isn't a good match for you. During the transplant, plugs or strips of hair are removed from the back of your head and moved to the bald area. When you have plenty of hair on the back of your head, the healthy hair covers the area where hair was removed so

If you're still in the process of losing your hair, your hair will continue to change over the years. Your doctor may prefer to wait until the bald area has stabilized so the transplanted hair can be put in the best places for the most enhancement to your appearance. If you have transplants too soon, you may need additional transplants in the future to fill in more bald areas.
The Reason For Your Hair Loss
Male pattern hair loss responds well to transplants but some other conditions do not. If your hair loss is caused by a medical condition, medication, or stress, then a transplant may not help as you'll just continue to lose hair. A doctor takes a complete medical history and examines your hair to determine if a transplant is right for you. Your hair loss is graded on a scale to determine how suitable you are for a transplant. Your doctor wants to make sure you have the best chance of success before you undergo the procedure.

Hair transplantation is a cosmetic surgery which has become a lucrative business and is exponentially growing across the globe.
Hair is considered one of the components of the integumentary system, along with the skin, nails, glands and nerves. Mammalian hair has many functions including protection from environmental factors and the ability to disperse sweat gland products such as pheromones. Almost every part of the human body is covered by hair except for the palms, hands and bottoms of the feet. On average, every person has about five million hairs; each of these hairs is born from a follicle or tiny tube-like structure that grows into the dermis layer of the skin. Oftentimes this follicle even reaches the subcutaneous layer, which is made of fat and connective tissue. (UXL Complete Health Research, 2001)
Although receiving the transplant in such a short time, the majority of patients wait 6 months to 2 years.

...s is a huge concern for the millions of people who suffer from any one of the causes. Whether it is hereditary, stress, diet, medications, health issues, child birth, rapid weight loss, hormones, physical trauma or a combination of many, people who suffer hair loss have many options from oral and topical treatments such as minoxidil, non-surgical hair replacements such as hairpieces to surgical hair restorations also know as hair transplants. Many of the options available for hair loss can be very time consuming and costly, but many people suffering hair loss are willing to spend the money and try anything that claims to help. Ultimately, the most important thing for people who suffer from hair loss is to be educated on what options they have and what solutions are going to have the greatest possibility of providing successful results for their specific needs.
There are a few problems with the process. The most common being is the same as any other transplant, the body doesn't accept the new cell stem cells if the cells aren't exactly the same as the patients; instead the body's immune system recognizes them as unwanted cells and rejects or destroys them often causing more damage to the body. The most common use of stem cells is bone marrow transplant. Some adult stem cells are usually found in bone marrow, when the marrow is transplanted the cells regenerate and help replace the failing surrounding marrow. However, this type of procedure doesn't involv...

Throughout the semester we have studied the black vernacular tradition and its attributes of competition, group interaction, the in- group, and pattern of call and response and we have learned to take those attributes and apply then to the complex subject of Black Hair. Black Hair is a complex subject not only because so little is known about it but because of the aesthetic, political, and interpersonal context through which Black hair can be studied and interpreted. Hair is honestly in just about every text and it is used to not only add insight to characters identity but to also give context to time. Many of the black vernacular tenets are seen throughout Margo Jefferson’s chapter in Negroland, in particular the first section called “The
In the short story ‘growing my hair again’, the author explains how women in the African traditions are held captive by the traditional culture and their struggles to trying to break away them using the main character Nneka. In Nigeria as well as in the other parts of Africa, culture was and still is given a lot of emphasizes especially when it comes to the traditional practices and beliefs. The culture however vary from one community to the other and ranges from the rights of passage, religious beliefs to other religious practices such as offering sacrifices and the role of women in the community .Nneka was married to a rich man in traditional Nigerian community and as in other areas, women had a role of being submissive to their husbands
When approaching the topic of hair chemistry, one may think about the question, where does hair come from? Saclike holes called follicles are located all over the human body. At the bottom of these follicles are a cluster of papilla responsible for the growth of hair. As the papilla, otherwise known as hair bulbs reproduce to make new hair cells, the old ones are pushed up towards the surface of the skin causing the hair to grow longer. This may seem like a simple concept to grasp. However, the process of hair growth is a little more in depth.

... such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, mouth sores, hair loss, and skin reactions. Potential long-term risks include complications of the pretransplant chemotherapy and radiation therapy, such as infertility (the inability to produce children); cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye, which causes loss of vision); secondary (new) cancers; and damage to the liver, kidneys,lungs, and/or heart. You can easily get infections after the transplant because your immune system is weak. The risk of infections decreases as your immune system recovers. Transplant recipients sometimes are given vaccines to prevent viruses and infections, such as the flu and pneumonia. If you develop an infection, your doctor will prescribe medicine to treat it. GVHD is a common complication for people who get stem cells from a donor. In GVHD, the new stem cells attack your body.
Hair is, in both a literal and symbolic sense, a presentation of oneself to the outside world. One’s hairstyle is often a reflection of one’s identity (although this is arguably a result of cultural stereotypes—particularly surrounding gender) and, as it can be observed passively and quickly, is one of the first ways in which one will be assessed by another person. Uju is acutely aware of this, and she warns Ifemelu that Ifemelu’s “natural” hairstyle connotes “scruff[iness] and untid[iness]” (269). Unfortunately, these characteristics of hair—being a reflection of identity because of cultural stereotypes, being perceived as a “fast and easy” way to judge somebody without actually making their acquaintance—are also all too true of another aspect

It is during the 16th Century that Italian surgeon Gasparo Tagliacozzi, also referred to as the father of plastic surgery performed reconstruction of noses and ears by transplanting the patient’s own skin tissues from his arm to the patient’s nose and ears. He dis...
Hair is an important part of our body. It can be found anywhere and can be a useful evidence in forensic science. It consists of three layers, namely cuticle, cortex and medulla. Cuticle- is a covering that consists of hard scales made of keratin, which is a protein approaching tip ends of the hair. There are three types of cuticle: coronal, imbricated and spinous types. Cortex consists of stretched out beam shaped cells, buried with pigment granules for hair to cede with color and is the main body of the hair shaft. It may also contain pigment granula, ovoid bodies and cortical fusi (Wright, 2008). Furthermore, medulla can be categorized into continuous, fragmental, absent and interrupted types. If medulla
