This is Gunner, Dave Gundaker to be exact. While it is very likely that you recognize his face, you would find it easier to identify his voice if you heard it. Gunner is an afternoon DJ on WFBQ Radio (Q-95).


Gunner recognized the signs of hair loss in his mid-forties. He noticed there was thinning and receding that was occurring quite rapidly. This discovery left a not-so-pleasant feeling in Gunner, so he decided that this would not define who he is. He would take the reins on his hair loss situation and proceeded to visit Transitions of Indiana.

At Transitions of Indiana, we offer every proven solution designed specifically to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual client based upon the criteria of their desires, expectations, as well as a customization to their specific lifestyle. Our trained technicians and stylists combine their technical expertise and artistry to provide the hair replacement systems that are virtually unnoticeable.

                                               

For Gunner, the best solution to his problem was Laser Hair Therapy, with an inclusion of scalp treatments. Laser Hair Therapy is a method recognized by hair restoration physicians as a device that can restore hair. While it may not regrow all of your hair, it may help awaken your hair from a dormant state and extend the amount of time you have the hair. 

Gunner recently appeared on Indy Style to share his experience with hair loss and how Laser Hair Therapy helped restore his hair. One of our consultants, Melissa Greene, joined Gunner on Indy Style to show how Transitions' Laser Treatment Program is helping men and women in Indianapolis restore their thinning hair. Their segment can be seen on our website at https://TransitionsIndy.com/patient/Gunner/.     
                           
His progress has been quite pleasing to him as he now has thicker hair after only undergoing half of his treatment program. Results may vary.

When most people think of the arrival of autumn and winter, their thoughts turn to the changing of the leaves, trendy “in-season” boots, cute hats, etc. Nevertheless, with the good, comes the annoying. Different seasons require different hair care techniques. When autumn arrives, hair tends to get dry, brittle and dull. Here are some tips that will keep your hair from falling short this season!





·         Deep Condition regularly
  • Heat and friction interfere with the natural structure of hair. In addition, while shampooing gets your hair clean, it can also strip your hair of its natural oils.


·         Trim
  • Get rid of the damaged and brittle hair from summer. Do it often because it will prevent the damage from moving up and causing further damage like split ends.



·         Use Less Heat
  • Being indoors will be warm enough to dry your hair. However, if you feel the need, go to a professional who will know how to accommodate temperatures to different hair types. If styling yourself, make sure that you use a nourishing heat protective spray or leave-in conditioner to safeguard your hair.


·         Towel Dry
  • If you blow-dry your hair too often, it can lead to hair breakage.


·         Exercise and Drink Water
  • Stay healthy; do not go into hibernation mode.


·         Hats and headscarves
  • Both options are a good source of protection and very stylish!

There is a great event approaching…no it’s not Halloween, although I cannot wait to create my Doctor Who costume—the event I’m speaking about is both for an amazing cause and shows awesome Colt Pride.

October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it is getting a lot of support from our favorite team throughout the month. So… to commemorate it, the Colts are uniting with other teams in the NFL’s national, “A Crucial Catch”, initiative by encouraging their fans to join them in recognizing the survivors and in raising awareness for the disease that, unfortunately, threatens the lives of millions of women each year.
Let’s throw some facts out there:
- In 2014, an estimated 232,030 cases of  invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. alone.
- For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than any other cancer, besides lung cancer.
- About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
- Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. Just under 30% of cancers in women are breast cancers.
Visit ww5.komen.org for more information.
Many people are affected by this and not the just the ones who have the disease. Breast cancer also impacts the lives of family and friends. Join the effort. Get involved. Raise Awareness.

We've all experienced those moments in the supermarket, pharmacy or department store when it's time to choose a new hair care product. We begin to ask ourselves, “What’s the difference between these two brands?” and follow it up with, “is the difference really worth that much more? It’s all soap anyway, right?” Well, in fact choosing the store brand, or other significantly less expensive hair products can actually make a difference in performance. Bargain shopping is always a wise route, but when it comes to hair treatment, cheaper is not always better.


If choosing the right hair care products isn't daunting enough, imagine trying to choose one if you are wearing a wig or a hair replacement system. In this instance, it is wise to consult with your hair replacement clinic for a recommendation. Hair replacement specialists, such as the ones at Transitions of Indiana are familiar with your natural hair type, wig or hair replacement system, as well as your lifestyle, level of personal activity and a host of other factors that can help them make a professional recommendation.


Although, inexpensive products may seem more beneficial for your wallet, this is only a short-term fix. In order to maintain healthy hair, it's a good idea to discuss your options with a professional hair care specialist. Ensure your investment and hair is well taken care of by choosing Transitions of Indiana for your hair care needs. Visit TransitionsIndy.com to schedule a FREE hair and scalp analysis today!

If you look into nutrients needed for healthy hair and skin, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and the foods that contain them pop-up in almost all nutrition guides. So, what are they?

Nutrients Needed:

Vitamins
Vitamin C is a builder of the protein collagen. If you have watched or read ads for skin care products you may know that collagen is our skin’s primary connective tissue. When your skin does not get enough collagen, it sags and bags. Vitamin C is also an excellent antioxidant with properties capable of vaporizing free radicals (harmful chemicals) in the body. Free radicals damage body tissue, including hair follicles and skin. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/skin/vitaminC/

Vitamin A is a healer. It helps repair and restore cells that might have been damaged. One way to get enough Vitamin A is to eat foods packed with beta-carotene, an antioxidant our liver converts into vitamin A.
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002400.htm

Another skin “doctor” is Vitamin E. Vitamin E helps the body repair itself, prevents scarring, and is recommended for shiny, healthy looking hair. Vitamin E pumps up our red blood cells so they can haul more nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles and skin.
http://www.med-health.net/Vitamin-E-For-Hair.html

Vitamin B-Complex is an important supplement to add to your daily diet for overall health. B-Complex contains vitamins B5, B2, and biotin, all which promote cell growth.
http://www.psychologicalharassment.com/vitamin-B.htm

Fatty Acids and Minerals
Essential fatty acids, Omega-3s and Omega-6s (GLA), help heal and moisturize skin and hair. Many of us do not get enough Omega-6 or GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). GLA is a moisturizing agent said to reduce hair loss, and is a natural treatment for dandruff, brittle nails, PMS and arthritis.
http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/gammalinolenic-acid

There are two mighty minerals that may help keep your hair and skin conditioned, known as Zinc and Selenium. Zinc promotes skin repair, fights acne and keeps the complexion looking fresh. The other mineral, Selenium, joins forces with vitamin E to hunt down free radicals and regulate metabolism. The E-selenium team also assists the body in properly processing food to help transport nutrients to our hungry cells.

Food Suggestions

•  VITAMIN C: Citrus fruits, cherries, blueberries, kiwi, red peppers, or black currants
•  VITAMIN A: Dairy products, dried apricots, or mangos
•  BETA-CAROTENE: Carrots, green leafy veggies, dried apricots, sardines, mackerel, or other oily fish
•  VITAMIN E: Spinach, watercress (green leafy veggies), almonds, olive oil, or sunflower seeds
•  B VITAMINS: Wheat germ, a lot of fruits and vegetables, mushrooms
•  FATTY ACIDS: Oily fish (mackerel, wild salmon), black currants, flaxseeds, or evening primrose oil (black currant and evening primrose oil are especially good for omega-6, or GLA)
•  ZINC: Nuts, oysters, or red meat
•  SELENIUM: Cottage cheese, eggs, Brazil nuts, or wholegrain breads

Lichen Planopilaris is an inflammatory disorder that occurs when a person’s immune system attacks their skin or mucous membranes. The condition is not contagious and what triggers its onset is unknown. In mild cases, at home care or no care may be needed. It most often affects middle-aged adults.


Scalp Symptoms and Hair Loss

Although Lichen Planopilaris is rare, it is one of the common causes of scarring hair loss of the scalp. Lichen Planopilaris typically appears as smooth white patches of scalp hair loss, where no hair follicle openings can be seen in the areas of hair loss. At the edges of these patches there may be scale and redness, allowing the hair to be easily pulled out. Small patches may merge to form larger irregular areas. Lichen Planopilaris usually progresses slowly.
Symptoms may include:
  • Itchiness
  • Pain
  • Tenderness
  • Discomfort
  • Burning
  • Temporary or permanent hair loss
  • May result in scarring or scalp discoloration

Treatments for Lichen Planopilaris:

Doctors may use medication to reduce itching and promote skin healing. Although, the condition typically clears up on its own, symptoms may last a few months up to several years.

To Manage Lichen Planopilaris, Doctors May Use:

•   Corticosteroids, topical, oral, or injections
•   Retinoids, or synthetic vitamin A, used orally or topically
•   Non-steroidal ointments or creams
•   Antihistamines, oral or topical

Home treatments may include cold compresses, colloidal oatmeal baths and OTC hydrocortisone products.

Caution:

If you have symptoms of Lichen Planopilaris, make an appointment with your primary care physician to begin proper treatment. If you have Lichen Planopilaris of the scalp and have experienced permanent hair loss, speak to a hair loss professional for information on various hair restoration options.
