September is Alopecia Awareness Month, so the team at Mane Image is striving to provide quality education for our clients. Alopecia is a fairly common cause of hair loss that many people mistakenly associate with being unable to produce any body hair whatsoever. While this drastic type of alopecia does indeed exist, it is the least common of several forms which affect the body's ability to grow hair. In this post, we'll discuss the different forms of the condition, its potential causes, and treatment options.

For years we have heard that wearing a hat or helmet on a regular basis can cause hair loss. Some people will avoid wearing of head gear of any kind because they believe this to be true. Let's talk about this belief, covering the facts as well as the myths about this commonly referenced phenomenon.

If you have concerns about hair loss, you’re not alone. At Mane Image Hair Restoration Clinic, we take hair loss as seriously as you do—for example, to help you in your search for answers, we offer a free, online hair loss test to begin the process of giving you the answers you need.

Since the Middle Ages humans have searched for natural ways to strengthen and improve the condition of their hair. While some ancient remedies (like the Greek practice of rubbing mashed onion onto the scalp before sleep each night) isn’t common nowadays, our ancestors were right about one thing...the foods we eat have a direct impact on our health and appearance. Whether it's the quest for shinier locks or a way to regrow thinning, weak, or brittle hair, the answer may lie in the foods we eat (or don't eat) every day.  

Hair loss is a common problem for many women. One in four women experience hair loss or thinning in their lifetime. Often when we seek initial counsel for our hair loss, a woman is told to simply “reduce stress”.

Sometimes, you just can't help losing your hair. Genetic or medical factors put the loss out of your hands, and while you can react with surgical or non-surgical treatments, there's nothing you could do to proactively prevent your hair from falling out.
