If you’ve noticed that your hair hasn’t been looking quite as full and voluminous as it once was, you’re not alone. According to the Cleveland Clinic, it’s estimated that more than 50% of women will experience noticeable hair loss — and there are so many reasons why it can happen. Everything from hormones to diet and stress can affect the appearance and quantity of your hair. While there are plenty of great hair care products on the market that can help you get thicker and healthier locks, some come with a high price tag and a risk of skin irritation.…
Luminate’s wearable device, which helps preserve hair during chemotherapy, is still undergoing the testing necessary for commercial release, but the startup is already looking toward its next goal: bringing cancer treatment to the home. A new $15 million funding round should help it get started on making that goal a reality. This startup is one of the most unusual, yet promising, things we’ve covered in 2021. Its pitch is a bit sci-fi: a helmet called “Lily” that people undergoing chemotherapy wear to prevent hair loss, a common side effect of the treatment. It sounds like magic, but it’s actually quite…
Deborah LopezLast mid-winter, when I was in my mid-fifties, I got a pair of clippers and shaved my head down to velvety stubble. It was something I had dreamed about for years. And by “years” I mean “decades.” I still remember an article I read in The Village Voice in the late 1980s about how women shaving their heads was both an act of liberation and beauty.

As a crowd waited in the security queue at Ibiza airport, no one noticed that the band they were standing next to had played a hugely successful sold-out show at Ibiza Rocks the night before. Spotted in 2007, the band in question were Arctic Monkeys, still riding high on the success of their debut album, “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not,” which was the UK’s fastest-selling album of all time. That’s what four unassuming lads from Sheffield looked like, with their heads bowed and staring at their feet, blending in with a crowd of hungover people returning…
Belinda Robinson has always had thick natural hair and treated her hair gently without using harsh chemicals.But one day about 17 years ago, she noticed a small smooth spot on the back of her head. After several more years of thinning hair, she was diagnosed with a type of alopecia, a general term for hair loss.”When I first got diagnosed, I cried, I really cried. It was hard to swallow,” said Robinson, now 53, an adjunct professor and federal employee who lives in Northern Virginia. “Now that I’m more knowledgeable about what I have, I see that many people are…

Cases of hair loss in children account for about three percent of the visits to the pediatrician, as stated by the American Hair Loss Association (AHLA). Although it is common for children to lose their temporary hair overtime before the growth of permanent hair, losing hair at an increased rate and the appearance of bald patches might be a cause for concern. Even though the early loss of hair in children can be managed with the help of proper treatment, care and medications, it can initially be heart-wrenching to see your child lose so much hair at such a young…
