There seems to be a few myths surrounding hair loss and those affected by it. We can just debunk a few of those right now.

Myth: Only men experience pattern baldness.
Fact: Wrong. Both men and women suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as pattern baldness. For women, thinning hair and hair loss affects roughly one in four women, and 95% of those affected suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia.

Myth: Hair loss only affects older men and women.
Fact: Hair loss can occur at any age. On average, women dealing with hair loss are between 25 and 35 years old.

Myth: There are really only hair loss solutions for men since they more commonly experience hair loss.
Fact: There are several hair loss solutions for women available. At Transitions of Indiana one of our popular solutions for women’s hair loss is a female hair transplant.

Hair loss is a very emotional situation to go through. Many women feel like they’re losing their confidence and what makes them attractive. For some reason society has managed to make us think that women’s hair loss isn’t an issue. Totally demoralized, many women don’t discuss the situation, which means less women realize how common their situation actually is. They remain painfully unaware that hair loss solutions for women are available and achievable. Hair transplants have come a long way since their fruition in the ‘50s and are a great option for women suffering from thinning hair and baldness. New techniques and state-of-the-art technology are used at Transitions of Indiana to give clients natural looking hair to help you gain back that confidence and make you feel beautiful again!

So what exactly happens during a hair transplant? It’s basically a procedure that takes small sections, or grafts, of healthy hair from the donor area (typically the sides and back of your head) and transplants them back on the thinning parts of your head. In the past, larger grafts, with many hairs, were harvested from the head and gave a very unnatural, doll hair look. Today, many surgeons utilize Follicular Unit Transplantation, FUT, where 1-4 hairs are harvested and planted in their naturally occurring hair groupings so they grow in their original direction. This makes it more natural looking and is considered the “gold standard” of surgical hair restoration.

Transitions of Indiana’s Hair Transplant Procedure is an art in itself. Since each person’s hair loss situation is unique, each patient’s hair restoration plan is customized based on hair type, general health, age, degree of hair loss and overall patient expectations. We are also one of a handful of centers approved and able to provide ARTAS® Robotic FUE Hair Transplants. This is one of the most impressive innovations in hair restoration seen in years! The machine scans and digitizes an area of your scalp to identify and track each individual hair. Then, using micron level accuracy it harvests each hair and transplants them in their original growing angle. Using this state-of-the-art technology eliminates the risk of human error and incisions are so small that no sutures are necessary to close the donor area. Results are seen in around six months and you can style and wear your hair at any length you wish. Each of these procedures are permanent and natural looking solutions for your hair loss and are available at Transitions of Indiana.

There are tons of tips and tricks on how to care for your hair during the hot and humid summer months and trying to comb your way through the tangle of information can take all season. No worries, we’ve got you covered! Here are the solutions we consistently found that are sure to help maintain your hair’s health and shine while minimizing damage from the seasonal elements.

Condition, condition, condition
Your hair has to replenish its moisture to stay healthy. Before you condition, get an extra boost of moisture by using a non-detergent, cleansing shampoo to avoid fading dyed-hair and a dry scalp. Wet your hair and throw on a conditioner or spritz on a leave-in conditioner before you head out to the pool or gym. Pre-conditioning your hair helps protect it from chlorine and sweat. Wash it out of your hair after your activity and air dry to leave your hair feeling soft and shiny.  It is also recommended that you deep condition your hair at least once a week. 


Drink lots of water
Not only is a great conditioner good for your hair but keeping your body hydrated is just as important.  Drinking water keeps your hair hydrated and strong and actually makes it grow faster. During the summer you may find yourself sweating more which means you’re losing water more quickly. Many follow the “drink eight 8-ounce glasses a day” rule  but according to Mayo Clinic, The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate amount for men is roughly 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day while for women it’s about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day. However, this also depends on your level of activity as well so be sure to pay attention to your body and follow doctors' orders.

Protect your hair
Summer is meant to be casual and free so let your hair be too! Over processing or applying heat to your hair every day can cause serious damage to your tresses and make them frizzier. After a wash, use a large-tooth comb to detangle and let your hair air-dry. If you have to use a blow-dryer, attach a nozzle to take away some of the heat. If you have frizzy hair let it show its natural beauty for a change or invest in a stylish wide-brimmed hat to protect from humidity and the other summer elements. You can always just put it up in some fun, simple braids or updos too. You’ll still look stylish and your hair will thank you for the break. Also sleep with your hair up to reduce tangles or sleep with a silk pillow case to reduce friction and retain moisture which can be sapped away by cotton pillow cases.


Essential oils
Essential oils are perfect for balancing and rehydrating your hair. Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy celeb stylist Jen Atkin says, “They don’t contain silicone so they’re more like lotion for the hair and won’t build up or weigh hair down.” Essentials oils can be used to promote hair growth, strengthen hair shafts, soothe irritated scalps and help with dandruff. Plus, they make your hair smell awesome! You can mix in a drop of oil to your conditioner or styling cream. Lavender oil may be a great one for your hair and there are many others! Essential oils are highly potent so they should first be mixed with a base oil, or can be diluted in herbal rinse, or floral water. Here are some of the best essential oils for your hair and how to use them.

If you are suffering from severely damaged or thinning hair from years of wear and tear from the elements or other complications, you’re not alone!
