Hair Restoration Surgery : The Ultimate Choice

When you are battling your worst nightmare of baldness and all your efforts are going down the shower drain, it is time you realize that conventional approaches are not going to work for you.

Modern medicine has successfully evolved to a point where revolutionary techniques can actually grow back your beautiful head of hair.

Unbelievable isn’t it? Well not for long! By the end of this article, you are going to be convinced that hair restoration surgery is the light at the end of the tunnel for you.

Be prepared to embrace the feeling when your envious bald pals keep wondering about the secret behind your spectacular locks.

What Is Hair Restoration Surgery?

Hair restoration process is catered to the specific requirements of every client to enable hair density in a natural way.

Always remember that your surgeon will schedule a certain number of sessions for your hair transplantation based on your degree of hair loss. In the modern era, hair restoration will not provide you with clumps of hair that look obviously abnormal.

This is because today hair transplant is practiced with the help of individual follicular unit micro grafts that contain no more than 1-4 hair strands tightly arranged in a bundle.

These tight bundles are taken from the back of your head above the nape of your neck in an unnoticeable fashion and transplanted on the area of hair loss.

Donor dominant area: This is the area that is the sides and the back of a balding scalp where hair will continue to grow throughout the life of most men.

Hair to be transplanted will be taken from this area and the transplantation will not affect the natural hair growth rate around this part.

Candidates for hair restoration: Individuals with the following characteristics are best candidates for hair transplantation:

Good donor density

Good donor laxity

Good ratio of donor to recipient demands

Realistic expectations from the surgeon

Hair Grafting

Surgical techniques improved by leaps and bounds with the advent of micro and minigrafting. A good hair restoration surgery will combine these follicles to provide a natural looking flow and density to your hair.

Placement:

Single hair grafts are soft and have a fine appearance. They will not provide the dense hairline but they will be a perfect transition from the critical soft hairline into a thicker hairline.In the hairline of a non-balding individual, several stand alone hairs are situation at the front. They are transplanted on the front for around 0.5-1cm.

Micrografts are small grafts consisting of 2-3 hairs that are approximated behind this line to provide an impression of an increasing degree of the thickness of hair density.

Minigrafts which contain 4 or more hair are positioned well behind this hairline so that the density blends in an increasing fashion.

Orientation:

Another important aspect of hair grafting is the orientation of the graft. Hair are oriented horizontally to provide the maximum density without tampering with the natural appearance.

The angle of graft is most critical part of the transplant as this determines how well the graft will home in the native hair pattern. When a surgeon slits into the scalp, he either slits horizontally or laterally and hair grow in the pattern of the slit. Hence a natural and yet more fuller looking scalp is created.

Procedure of Hair Restoration

A hair transplant can take 8-14 hours based on size of the graft, number of the grafts and complexity of the procedure. After getting familiar with the basics about hair transplant surgery, lets glimpse over the actual procedure step by step:

Preparing for hair transplant:  While preparing the patient the donor area at the back of the head is trimmed and then given a local aesthetic.

Removing the graft:  The hairs from the donor area are then removed to be used as graft. The area is sutured and hair combed over it to hide the sutures. The sutures will be removed in ten days.

Follicular grafts unit:  The hair from the donor area are then dissected under microscopes and used to form follicular graft units.

Preparing the bald area:  After giving a local aesthetic the bald area is prepared. Incisions are made that mimic the natural pattern of hair growth in the scalp in an irregular fashion.

Placing grafts in the bald area:  The harvested follicular units are now carefully planted in these incisions following a pattern as highlighted above.

After the transplant:  The individual may have many tiny incisions over the scalp in the recipient area which may develop redness or scab but most of these symptoms go away in a week.

Different Bicycle Exercise for Different Results

Depending upon your goals, try to fit in a cycling workout 3-5 times a week.

If you are training for a particular event, cater your training to this event. However, if you are just looking to increase your fitness in the off season, focus on accumulating kilometers through longer, slower rides.

Long Slow Distance: a longer ride (1-3 hours) at a slower tempo. This is essential for acclimatizing your body to the endurance aspect of the sport of cycling. Incorporate at least one long slow ride into your schedule every week.

Tempo or Interval Training: These rides usually last 1-2 hours. Although the pace is slower overall, work in periods of 30-60 seconds where you increase the tempo to a more difficult level. This accustoms your legs to pedaling at a fast tempo.

Hill Training: Hill training is a good way to mix up your training, but does not interest everyone! It is more difficult, and the benefits may not seem readily apparent unless you plan on cycling in a hilly or mountainous region. Nonetheless, it is a challenging way to increase your fitness and proficiency with climbing!

Sprinting: People underestimate how fast you can go on a bike - but you don't get fast by riding slow! On your next ride, practice a few intervals where, for 10-20 seconds, you sprint as hard as you can. This is great training for racing, but also helps your body get used to the muscular burning of lactic acid, a by-product of muscular effort.

6 Fashion Movies Every Fashionista Should Watch

Whether you are an aspiring model, a designer in the making or a fashionista who breathes all-things fashion, you would love our pick of fashion-centric movies.

Mahogany Mahogany is a 1975 American romantic drama movie directed by Berry Gordy

2. Unzipped Unzipped is a 1995 American documentary film, directed by Douglas Keeve. It gives you a glimpse of what goes behind the scenes in a strategically shot documentary.

5. Marc Jacob and Louis Vuitton If you want to know what the fashion’s leading designers do this is the movie to watch. A word of caution for designing enthusiasts this would make you feel both insubstantial and hopeful at once. If these are the people you want to emulate, you’d love this.

6. Mujrosa The recent Lakme Fashion Week held a screening for fashion films where Mujrosa won an award. The brilliant cinematography, short narrative and palpable creativity makes this one a winner.

Go Summery Shimmery with Metallic Tattoos

Can you feel summer knocking on the door? More like billowing though every crack and open window.

We can complain all we want about the heat, summer still would be our favourite season. It’s a time to work that tan and rock awesome outfits. Bye bye layered up jackets and boots (though we’d miss wearing boots).

This summer is going to be all about metallic tattoos. Agreed they’ve been around for while but the increase in the number of celebs sporting metallic tattoos has definitely got them noticed.

Everyone from Beyonce, Alesandra Ambrosio, Sarah Jessica Parker, Vanessa Hudgens to Selena Gomez has tried the trend.

And metallic tattoos are a better alternative. Besides being versatile, it also comes minus the guilt and hassles of getting permanently inked.

Choosing the right metallic tattoo is important.

It’s best to get one that suits your general choice of accessory. No one’s saying you shouldn’t experiment but it makes sense to complement your gold wedding band with golden metallic ring tattoos.

You can always mix and match things up by opting for a pack of different metallic tones. Gold, silver and bronze look lovely together, especially if you’re going minimal with clothes.

Buy the peacock feather tattoo at TheFashHub

Rock them at beach and pool parties or channel the boho chick in you by pairing these with wavy hair and flowy maxis.

Metallic tattoos do get a bit dressy. Think of it as wearing too many silver or gold ornaments since it’s primarily made to replicate the feel of metallic jewellery. If you want to wear metallic tattoos to weddings and occasions that require you to go big on bling, you might want to tone down wearing jewellery a notch.

Pair up these tattoos with a gold watch. Or only wear them as rings instead of the bracelets and arm bracelets too. Minimal is good.

Metallic tattoos don’t last that long, of course that was the intention but if you want them to last a little longer than they generally do, try not to wash that area often. I know gross but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

You can also take a few drops of coconut or olive oil on a cotton swab and very lightly just breeze over the tattoo. This helps reinstate the shine but be careful as too much of oil can make the tattoo soggy which will subsequently peel off.
