In today's society, woman are portrayed to have hair. More than just having hair, they are portrayed to have sleek shiny hair, voluptuous thick hair, or straight healthy hair. So when the concept of a woman with thinning hair is brought up, it becomes an abstract topic for some. It becomes so abstract that most people would rather not even bring it up.

For Shani, being an actress put this same pressure on her. She was constantly in the spotlight. Appearance was everything when competing with other actresses. She started to notice that her hair was thinning and it began to affect both her personal and professional life. "I felt very insecure. I lost my self confidence. I didn't feel attractive, like I did before." A lot of woman don't believe they have a hair loss problem because they are embarrassed about addressing it. This gives woman the idea that any hair loss solutions aren't meant for them, because they "aren't meant to be there in the first place".

Shani had put off finding a solution to her hair loss. She had to get past the fact that her hair was thinning and that she had to do something about it. She finally got over her hurdle and had found Transitions of Indiana. During Shani's first visit to Transitions, she very uneasy. "I don't know if they could tell that I was interested and through the process of that I like apologized, didn't really think I needed to be there, you know. They started to tell me that, 'No we treat woman. Woman have these problems.' I just felt embarrassed I guess." In just six months, Shani's hair had transformed. She finally has the thick, healthy hair that she had been missing. Shani got more than just her hair back, she got her life back.

In today's society it's common that hair loss isn't a marketed topic for woman.

Advancements in the field of hair transplantation has allowed those experiencing noticeable hair loss a more natural looking hair restoration option. Typical hair transplant procedures involve removing small pieces of hair from the scalp to use as grafts, and relocating them to problem areas. Hair restoration today has become one of the more popular choices with the addition of the ARTAS® Robotic FUE Procedure. ARTAS® is a robotic surgical hair transplantation system and is FDA approved.

How ARTAS® Works:
ARTAS® FUE eliminates flaws completely while maintaining natural results. It is designed to eliminate guesswork and fatigue associated with manual handheld methods, complications, and downtime of existing techniques.

It begins by scanning areas of the scalp. It tracks each individual hair so ARTAS® can measure the optimal angle for extraction with precision accuracy. The incisions that are made are so small that no stitches are needed. Your hair is then transplanted into your thinning areas. So how does ARTAS ® benefit you?

Benefits of ARTAS®:
· Virtually Pain Free

· Intelligent Follicle Selection Process

· No Linear Scar

· Robotic Site Making

· Eliminates Human Errors

· Fast Recovery

ARTAS® FUE is a leading, cutting-edge robotic technology. It gives physicians the opportunity to have a level of control and accuracy that remains to be the most impressive innovation that has been seen in years. You will begin to see permanent results in just a mere 6 months. Look back at the old you and make the decision to get your hair back! Schedule your free consultation today at (317) 522-2991.

The Breakdown
Platelet Rich Plasma has been known to help improve healing. It has often been used to treat orthopedic injuries and utilized in other areas of medicine for years. Now the cutting edge technology of PRP is available at Transitions! PRP is commonly used today to help encourage hair growth without requiring surgery. PRP is an FDA approved all-natural approach. The process simply has blood being drawn from your arm and the platelets are separated from the blood cells through a centrifugation process. By being injected into the scalp, these platelets help reactivate select problem areas. The addition of A-Cell helps to attract other stem cells to the areas of concern in order to achieve the greatest level of growth.

The Benefits
A lot of women experience thinning of hair for distinct reasons. Medications, illness, chemicals, stress, and even pregnancy are all reasons as to why you may see a receding hairline. Whatever the reason may be finding a solution that suits you can often be challenging. Choosing PRP as your hair restoration method allows a preventative, or restorative supplement for the existing hair. What attracts more women to this process is the fact that it is non-surgical and can be done in short sessions as little to 30 minutes.


The Results
For Jennifer, hair loss was post-partum after having her first child. Pregnancy causes hormone levels to rise dramatically. Immediately after the baby is born those hormones try and drop back to their normal levels. Your hair tries and makes up for lost time by falling out in much bigger clumps than it normally does as these hormones are dropping. Jennifer's hair loss increased and seeking treatment became a priority for her. Transitions treatment plan: Laser Hair Therapy and PRP. In just two months, you could see major growth of hair in Jennifer’s temple area which was a noticeable problem area before. “I feel that this treatment can definitely help a lot of women who are possibly going through some other hormonal issues as well. I would definitely encourage somebody to at least come in for a consultation and learn what kind of solution they'd be a good fit for.” Towards the end of her treatment Jennifer had achieved the fuller, thicker, longer hair that she had been looking for.

We mostly associate hair loss in women with cancer patients, but for Karen things were a little different. Karen suffered from Lupus. Lupus is an auto immune disease that attacks the tissues and organs inside your body. People that suffer from lupus will experience “flare ups” which occur when signs and symptoms get worse for a period of time. Unfortunately, hair thinning and hair loss is a side effect of lupus which led Karen to look for solutions. Karen came across Transitions.

After her analysis, Karen was “reassured and made to feel hopeful” knowing that laser hair therapy was the solution for her. The purpose of laser therapy is to stimulate cellular function. It stimulates the body’s biological mechanisms, which help promote growth, and repairs the scalp at the cellular level.



Karen began her treatment aggressively, coming in three times a week. She saw fast results, but had to take a break once she began her chemotherapy. During her chemo, she continued to use her laser headband to keep up with her treatment. Karen was thrilled that she didn’t lose any of her hair during her treatment. “The results stayed and I didn’t lose any of my progress.” Now Karen has her hair back! Whether you are losing hair due to Lupus, cancer, or simply thinning, Transitions of Indiana is here to help you every step of the way and make you feel comfortable getting ready in the morning.

Appearance can be a significant factor in deducing someone’s character. Appearance creates a physical façade and gives away personality cues of an individual. Personality is a derivative of the physical illustration that we choose to portray to others. Looking like a put together, confident individual in job interviews, while job hunting, or in social interactions can make you appear as someone who is successful.

So why is appearance such an important contributing factor to success? The way you dress and act reflects the overall image you create for yourself and can leave a good, or bad first impression. No employer is inclined to hire someone that doesn’t look like they can be taken seriously, or doesn’t present themselves in a respectable manner. Your hairstyle plays a critical role in having a respectable appearance.

Looking “polished” or “pulled together” is a professional’s most important physical asset. Well-managed, healthy hair suggests you care for yourself and take pride in your appearance. A study done by the Harvard Business Review suggested t
hat a common element of business leadership success was good hair. The study showed that if you take a great executive and give them a bad hairstyle perceived leadership effectiveness decreased significantly, while bad leaders that were given a new hairstyle saw a 22% to 38% increase in perceived leadership effectiveness over the course of 6 months. Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation, but if you think about the vast majority of successful business leaders you probably would find that most of them had really good hair.

Hair has powerful effects on who we are. When you look good, you certainly feel good. Next time you walk past the mirror, take a look and see if your hair is truly representing what you’re striving to be. Transitions of Indiana understands your self-image is important to who you are. We offer a variety of solutions for men and women that suffer from the effects of hair loss, thinning hair, and baldness. We’re here to get you back to having that beautiful head of hair that will help you achieve success and regain your confidence.

Stress is a well-known contributor to hair loss. Is it the origin of the saying “I’m pulling my hair out”? We don’t really know for sure… But what we do know is that stress is associated with three different types of hair loss.

The first type of hair loss associated with high stress levels is Telogen Effluvium. In Telogen Effluvium, pronounced TEL-o-jun uh-FLOO-vee-um, significant stress levels push large numbers of hair follicles into a resting phase. Within just a few months the affected follicles can get to the point that they simply fall out while brushing or washing your hair.

The second type of hair loss associated with stress is Trichotillomania. Pronounced trik-o-til-o-MAY-nee-uh this type of hair loss causes an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. This can be caused by and done to cope with feelings of stress, tension, boredom, loneliness, or other such negative feelings.

The third type of hair loss associated with stress is Alopecia Areata. Pronounced al-o-PEE-she-uh- ar-e-A-tuh this type of hair loss has a host of contributing factors, including severe stress. With Alopecia Areata the body’s immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing them to fall out.

Hair loss can be stressful, which can lead to a vicious cycle of more hair loss. Call Transitions of Indiana today to put an end to your hair loss and your stress! Come in for a free hair and scalp analysis and we will go over what the cause of your hair loss is and what specific treatments we can provide that will best treat your specific needs.

Just as clothing trends changed throughout the decades, so did the various hairstyles. Each decade has a significant hair style that makes the era recognizable. Here are some of our favorites:

The 1970’s

The Feather Cut: This notorious 70’s hairstyle was made famous by Farrah Fawcett. This hairstyle consisted of short, “feathery” layers that had a lot of volume. This was the most popular and long-lasting hairstyle of this decade.

Blow dry bars are quickly popping up all around the U.S. A blow out is a salon service that includes shampooing, blow drying and styling. These bars specialize in blow outs only; so, haircuts and hair coloring are not available at these salons.

“Blow dry bar” is fitting for this new business model because they also serve alcoholic beverages. You can enjoy a mimosa, wine and many other complimentary cocktails while getting your hair done.

These salons are gaining popularity around the country because of their laid-back atmosphere and pricing. A typical blow out at one of these salons cost about 40 dollars.

These pop-up salons appeal to busy mothers, businesswomen, college students as well as children. It is easy to get a blow out before work or after dropping your kids off at soccer practice.

These salons can help you achieve the perfect hairdo but if you are not happy with the hair you have, styling it will not make it much better.

Its officially summer! That means longer days, higher temperatures and bronzed skin. It is time to order that new bathing suit and soak up the sun.

With the new season comes new music, new clothing styles and of course, new hair trends. According to Elle Magazine these are some of the hairstyles that are in:

One of the most crucial things during summer is trying to stay cool amidst the heat. The high pony is in because it lifts the hair up and away from the neck while still making you look stylish.

The humidity of summer makes it almost impossible to keep tight, slick curls. This look creates those beachy waves that look effortless and won’t fall victim to the harsh heat of summer.

This look, also known as the lob (long bob), is perfect for those who are afraid to chop it all off. This mid-length style withstands the heat and looks amazing.

Now that you survived the bipolar spring weather it is time to make the most of your summer days by learning how to care of your hair properly. While anticipating those sizzling summer nights, it is important to know the effects of the sun on your hair. When you are soaking in the chlorinated pool, you may notice your hair dries faster than normal. According to MSN Mind & Body when spotting the signs of damaged hair, you may see the following:

Ø Changes of color

Ø Dry & brittle texture

Ø Split ends

Ø Thinning & fizziness

The best way to avoid summer breakage is to apply a leave-in conditioner to dry hair, and if you want complete protection from the sun, it is suggested to wear a scarf or a hat. When the sun damages hair, it reduces the elasticity and strength. To protect your perfect hair from the summer heat, the Huffington Post recommends to:

Ø Get a summer trim

Ø Avoid products containing sulfates

Ø Use detangling products when brushing

Ø Wear loose buns and ponytails

If you thought winter was bad for your hair, get ready for the summer. Though the heat and sun are a great relief from the brutal cold you’ve endured, it also can damage your scalp and hair.

While the sun is a great source of vitamin D, it may cause dryness, flakiness and brittleness. Just as you protect your skin from the sun, your hair needs protection and maintenance as well. Maintaining healthy scalp and hair doesn’t have to be a hassle if you follow these three tips.
Shampoo - When washing your hair, opt for shampoos that are sulfate-free or low in sulfate. Sulfate is chemical compound added to shampoos that allows the foam to form and helps wash out byproducts. According to sulfatefreeshampoo.org, sulfate can strip your hair of natural oils causing the hair to feel and look dry. Continuous use of sulfate shampoo can cause long-term damage and irritation to the scalp.

At Transitions, we offer top of the line shampoos that restore your hair with nutrients, like our BioClenz Shampoo, responsible for breaking down waste, reducing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and adding antioxidants.

Conditioner & Vinegar - Applying a deep conditioner to your hair and scalp is imperative to restoring its nutrients. Conditioning your hair helps replenish your hair with the nutrients that may have been stripped away from the shampoo or the sun.

To maintain cleaner scalp and shiny hair, apply vinegar after you’ve conditioned your hair. Vinegar helps fight off dandruff and relieves hair of dryness and flakiness. It’s recommended to apply vinegar once or twice every month. Our own Final Finish Conditioner includes vinegar to promote a smoother cleaner scalp.

Oils – Oils such as coconut, macadamia, or avocado, are also valuable protective treatments to maintain healthy hair and scalp. These oils work as leave-in conditioners to conserve the nutrients that the sun strips away and preserve the color of your hair.

Heat Protectants – It can be hard to take a break from heat basedstyling products like blow dryers and flat irons. Opt for heat protectants like our Defend Thermal Protectant. They help keep the nutrients locked in and promote shine and volume.

It’s recommended to cover up your locks with wraps or hats made of smooth material like cotton or silk. Wraps and hats help your hair preserve its oils and nutrients from the sun’s rays. They are also great accessories to pair with a summer outfit or a playful “loose” hairstyle such as popular fish tale braid or a classic pony tail.

Summer can mean fun in the sun, however there is no fun in the sun if your hair is left unprotected. Improve your hair’s strength and appearance by following these tips. At Transitions of Indiana, we are your direct source for hair restoration. From the products to use, to the procedures that can help you regain stronger and healthier hair, we help guide you to the path that best suits you. Visit us at www.TransitionsIndy.com to see our various procedures that can help you restore your hair.
