“My Hair Reminds Me That I Beat Cancer”

Just imagine what those words would sound like if you heard them.  “You have cancer.”  Quite devastating.  And the first thought in your mind is not going to be “am I going to lose my hair”?  Yet, unfortunately some treatments and chemotherapy drugs may result in hair loss. 

If you are going to have Chemotherapy, two ways to help gain control of the appearance of your hair is:

1.    Be aware of the drugs that may result in your hair loss and

2.    Be proactive BEFORE your hair loss begins.

Below is a list of Chemotherapy drugs as listed on www.Cancer.net which are known to cause hair loss.  Not all drugs do, so educating yourself is the first step.  If your drug is on this list or on their site, you can take steps ahead of time to help your appearance.

The first thing you can do is call New England Associates.  We have been an ally to many women who have battled cancer and want to look and feel their best during this difficult time.  If we evaluate you BEFORE your hair loss, then we can create a custom hair replacement that will look and feel very close to your own hair.  Some clients even say it’s better than their own hair!  And as Tammy, pictured above said, “It’s not a wig, it’s my own hair!”

So first, educate yourself. Then, contact New England Associates.  A free consultation will allow us to help you transitions easily from your hair to your new hair until the hair that you lose grows back.

Hair Loss in Women: Why Me?

Thinning hair and hair loss are never fun topics for discussion, but with nearly 40% of women in the U.S. suffering from thinning hair it's a topic worth talking about. According to Body Logic MD, it's estimated that 1 in 5 women suffer from hair loss. There are many different reasons for hair loss or thinning hair, some of them may be preventable and some may need additional treatment. However, regardless of what your situation may be, New England Associates offers many procedures that can help you look as good as you feel. Let's take a look at some of the reasons for hair loss in women.

1. Hormones:
Hair loss in women can be heavily attributed to the imbalance of hormones. Things like menopause, thyroid problems, and genetic hormonal responses to autoimmune conditions are some of the factors that can become great contributors to hair loss in women.

2. Stress: 
Is there a mid-term exam coming up? Are you running behind on an important project at work? Do the bills keep piling up? everyday stressors can be the cause of many human-related health issues, and unfortunately hair loss falls under that same umbrella. Stress can lead to an increase in the hormone cortisol. This hormone creates an increase of adrenaline and testosterone, and may lead to hair loss in women.

3. Birth Control:
It's no surprise that pharmaceuticals may lead to hair loss in both men and women, but birth control has one of the worst reputations for contributing to such loss. More information on the effects of hair loss in women related to birth control can be found at The American Hair Loss Association (AHLA): www.americanhairloss.org

4. Too Much Hair Care:
Putting your hair through too much stress may also encourage hair loss in women. Styling tools and methods such as hair coloring, straightening, curling, brushing, blow-drying, amongst many other techniques can severely damage one's hair, and scalp. It's also very important to read the ingredients in your shampoo and conditioner before use— many commercial shampoos/conditioners use harsh chemicals which in-turn destroy your lovely locks. Instead, try one of NEA's FDA approved products for daily washing!

At NEA, we offer several procedures, both medical and non-medical to assist you in the process towards hair restoration. Together we can fight hair loss and thinning hair with our FDA approved methods and products. Whether you need a hair transplant, or just hair care products of a higher quality, NEA can help you to look as good as you feel!
