Patients considering hair restoration surgery will have a number of questions and concerns that they will want answered. A patient of ours considering hairline lowering brought up a few that saw noteworthy:
- How do I know if I am a good hair transplant candidate?
- Is there any possibility the hair will fall off and affect my regular hair to fall off as well?
- Do I have to stay home after the surgery?
- Is there any adverse side effect caused by this type of surgery to the rest of my body or health?
Good hair transplant candidacy is based on the severity of their miniaturization or thinning of hair. Most female patients experience significant miniaturization of the hair shafts making them an unlikely candidate for hair restoration surgery. As long as the donor area shows minimal miniaturization of the hair shafts, hair restoration and / or hairline lowering is possible.
Patients with some degree of miniaturization may experience what is known as shock loss or loss of native hair after hair restoration surgery. This is due to the interruption of the surrounding hair during surgery but the effects are only temporary. The hairs lost will recover their normal growth cycle and will grow back in time. This statement does not always apply since not all patients even with some level of miniaturization do not lose their hair to shock loss.
This type of procedure is considered minimally invasive and patients can go back home the same day. Most patients can return to their normal daily routines and almost all patients recover at about the same rate. Medication is provided for take home treatment to speed up recovery time and to control swelling and redness. This surgical procedure can be easily concealed through practical means (change of hair style, make up, hat, etc.) and should not impede you from leaving home at all.
The only real adverse effect hair restoration has on any patient is that of temporary swelling and redness on the recipient area. Hair transplantation does not affect the rest of the body in any negative way. The only other concern would be based on any allergic reaction to the medications used during and after surgery. Be sure to inform you hair transplant surgeon of any medical condition and allergic reactions to medications prior to your surgery. Some facilities will provide a complimentary lunch the day of surgery so food allergies must be reported as well. Above all, hair restoration surgery is minimally invasive and any negative effects to the body are very unlikely to happen.

mmm. doesn’t seen anymore harder than a french braid, and to think that there are STYLISTS that don’t know how to friggin braid. That’s extremely sad.
cool
first off do NOT do what the first girl said. you dont just call up makeup companies- they would get very annoyed and they dont just hire girls off the street- every cosmetics company and beauty product company uses modeling agencies to find girls for ads and campaigns, so youd need to be signed with an agency first. its extremely tough to get signed, and you need to fit a lot of really strict physical criteria. most aspiring models think you only need to be tall for runway, but thats not the case; any model who wants to model clothing or beauty in print also has to be tall, slim and fit sample sizes (size 2 or 4). unfortunately, you cant just have a pretty face, even if you are just modeling makeup or the like. criteria that modeling agencies require are as follows:
1) be at least 5'8, although some agencies sign 5'9 and up unless you have an amazing look and are 5'8
2) fit sample size clothing, which would be a size 2 or 4
3) have the right measurements: typically 34-24-34 or very close to
4) have a unique look that photographs well (especially for beauty, you must have excellent skin, hair and teeth as well)
5) stand out in a sea of beautiful, tall and thin girls who are also submitting to the agency.
if you live in or near a big city, thats where youd want to look for agencies, as smaller towns typically dont have many, if any, opportunities for models or legit agencies. also beware of modeling "schools" and agencies that ask you for any money at all up front or a fee for being signed, as well as places that tell you you need to use a specific photographer and pay for pictures. about 90% of the opportunities out there for models and people that claim to be agents are frauds, so aspiring models have to be extremely careful, especially when just starting out. getting work in any division of modeling is incredibly difficult, but beauty is something that is cutthroat competitive, so its not just as easy as calling MAC and asking if you can model for them- theyd probably hang up on you. very experienced models typically get to do things like that, and you must have a look that really stands out against the thousands of other gorgeous girls out there trying to do this. if you want any more info or advice, you can email me; ive been a model for about 7 years and have been advising aspiring models for the past year
You will probably have to take 400 hours and take State-board test again. For your licence It`s better than 9months of school.:o( I would go to your local beauty collage for more information. They should be able to help you.GOOD LUCK!
Well of course, what we put in our bodies is much more harmful, although there have been numerous studies, showing how toxins, over time, does in fact, enter our bodies through our pores.
As far as the big "C" goes, I don't buy into it, they like to "scare" the, you know what out of us. They had that scare years ago with women using "darker" hair dyes, but I truly feel, it comes down to how a person takes care of themselves overall, and naturally using wisdom from the Lord.
The human body is so much stronger than we can imagine and our skin is a natural barrier to protect us from all sorts of nasty things in the environment. Even so, we should be careful to not use chemicals so much.
As far as natural goes, I use Aubrey Organics. Once in a while I will use, say a shampoo that has chemicals in it, but for the most part, I'm pretty natural, won't even take aspirin, make everything from scratch, since I control what's going in our food, you get the drift.
Just use things in moderation, switch around, don't have your body get use to one thing, people tend to use the same products, day in and day out, they've apparently never heard of, variety.
Fumes, smog, smoking, second hand smoke, certain foods, red meat, these are much more harmful, especially food which contains any type of hydrogenated fats and oils. Even in "moderation", don't buy into it, that will kill you faster than anything you put ON your body.
I can't stress this enough about hydrogenated oils, always read your food labels.
What I find hilarious, are these idiots who put crap in their bodies on a daily basis, as well as their kids, then turn around and "only" buy "organic" soaps, gels, deodorants and whatever else. Duh much!
The products you buy in a salon are considered high end (and much better quality) as opposed to drugstore items.
The biggest reason for cosmetic products to have a shelf life is that every time you use them you put bacteria from your eyes, mouth, skin, etc. in the product. If you use the products regularly, you should pay attention to the shelf lives, for sure. If you only apply your make-up occasionally, then each product should last for several years. It's all a matter of how worried about bacteria you are.
Wow what a great question!
I find if I keep baskets on my counter it helps me when I'm in a hurry to stay neat.
I do keep my makeup in a drawer, skincare in another.
My hairsprays etc…are usually in taller cans so a neat basket works great and I keep them on my counter.
The same with perfumes, body lotions I keep in another.
Things stay organized for me as I am always rushed.
As a hair stylist I am always trying the latest in beauty products and have too many. Some girls like shoes, some purses, me cosmetics.
I look forward to other ideas.Thanks again for a great question.
If you like saving a few hundred you might want to reconsider using creme de la mer at all – here's just one unfavourable review that might be worth reading. Scroll down to the subtitle "A famous scientist…" if you wish to read what it says. http://www.cosmeticscop.com/learn/art.asp?ID=188
As for the general question of buying cosmetics on ebay, you can request the production number printed on most cosmetic products from the seller and contact the manufacturer to see how long ago the batch was made if freshness worries you, as it is possible that the cosmetics may be quite old and past their best, depending on the amount of preservatives used.
Aside from that (slightly extreme) measure you can just make sure you're familiar with the genuine product to help you to spot fakes, make sure the seller has good feedback, and try to limit the purchases to sealed products that are harder to tamper with.
If you actually want to be the one that technically makes the products then a chemistry degree would be the best thing. Product companies have a chemist that helps put together the actual chemicals that make up the products. But, they also employ people for product development that come up with the ideas, like what a product should do, the fragrance, the way it is applied, etc. For something like that, it would probably also be smart to get an education in cosmetology or skin care so that you can better understand the hair, skin, and what consumers need products to do.
