This is not by accident, but more evidently due to the existence of humans in China for thousands of years. Over such an extensive period of time, Chinese society has had opportunity to explore potential remedies for all manner of ailments, compounded by the fact that for many centuries, China remained outside the influence of faster-developing countries.

It is important to note that over 99 percent of all nationals in the Orient like India, Hong Kong, Macau aka Macao, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia have jet black hair.

Black hair is much more robust, durable and strong than typical heads of hair of blondes, brunettes and redheads. In fact by percentage there is much less hair loss amongst Asians than applies in many other countries where blondes, brunettes and redheads proliferate.

Chinese herbs have been used for centuries on their own and in conjunction with other alternative therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure and Ayurveda to prevent hair loss, re-grow hair and restore natural pigment to gray hair.

Hair loss has many causes, such as the genetic male pattern baldness and diseases affecting glands and hormones. Lack of circulation to the scalp and vitamin deficiencies play a major role in hair health.

Hair loss prevention with Chinese medicine

Certain herbs help bring the body into balance and are used for thinning hair treatment and as baldness cures. The first steps toward hair restoration is increasing the quality of the blood and circulation to the scalp. The key to limiting thinning hair and promoting hair re-growth is early intervention.

Natural hair loss treatments may extend from 3 to 12 months or longer, depending on the severity of the problem, the length of time the condition has persisted, and on the response of each individual being treated.

For more information, we strongly recommend you consult a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner prior to taking any kind of unorthodox remedy for your hair loss. It is well documented that certain combinations of herbs can have adverse effects or even pose a danger to your wellbeing. Always seek professional advice beforehand.

But it is worth noting at this point the hair product reviews are just that an opinion, with almost all reviews never being confirmed, but hey they are great for marketing hype, coming with no surprises that many potential hair loss product buyers believe such rhetoric. One more time it is relevant to showcase that the hair loss sector is so competitive that an array of no holds barred marketing spiel and hype is the norm.

What is Regenix? Time once again for some humour. Take a chill pill readers, we are doing the best to deliver and discharge an unbiased knowledge pack about Regenix.

Here is another nugget that raises a grin of skepticism. A lister star Matthew McConaughey on Saturday Night Live when a guest on David Letterman’s show said – quote – “My hairline’s better than when I was 18.” Then is alleged to have mentioned the name Regenix. OMG now why would he say that!

Dang silly me of course, this is show business and no doubt he has been paid by Regenix to endorse their international corporate brand of hair products. So take note all readers not everything is like what you see or read, because marketing is an art and it costs money to sell a product, along with the fact that no A lister or even a D Lister is going to endorse any product without being paid a lot of money.

Seems an appropriate time to help readers some more when getting to grips on what Regenix is all about. Let’s knock together a typical hair product review just to re-confirm that all that glitters is not gold! Here we go – quote:

‘Six months ago when suffering from severe hair loss, in desperation I bought product X from ABC Hair Care. I am amazed at the results the difference is amazing and my thanks goes to ABC Hair Care for giving me back my confidence and visual looks!’

Let’s appraise the review just whipped together. All empty words that sound good and are constructed ready to be published to whip up interest to convert readers to buy a product.

They do the trick, but here is the necessary caveat emptor never just believe what you read! Analyze the written text because like in our throw away review, read it back again and absorb and dissect the content, because all that was written in the sample review was based on words gilded to convert readers into a buyers mindset. Superb marketing hyperbole that will win over and convert many readers into hitting that elusive ephemeral buyer’s click button!

To summarize on Regenix, we do not believe it is a case of hair today and gone tomorrow, because quite frankly without firm facts it is unfair to disparage a product. Never less how about this if folks got down to tracking men and women in and out of Regenix clinics and got some papped images that clearly showed visually hair today gone tomorrow. That would lead to make your mind up time as at any one time over 85 million men and women around the world are in limbo with some degree of partial of full hair loss.

The following is a brief appraisal about some not all of what has been published about Provillus. Needless to say a Caveat Emptor worth introducing at this point – namely, some hair products work, some do not, there is no as such definitive guarantee as so many outside variables may and often do impact on whether any particular hair treatment is effective.

Points to note relative to all hair products if the application – process and/or treatment is applied at a time when the recipient has a medical or natural body condition like pregnancy – illness – disease – hormone vitamin in balance/deficiency and the like then these specific issues may or will impact on the efficiency of hair treatment, application or therapy.

Some, let’s rephrase that many say Provillus is a scam, but hey let’s wait a minute! Where is the 100 percent proof of a scam? That can be answered unequivocally. There are thousands of claims out there and every single one has been unverified and authenticated substantiating factually about a scam.

With that out of the way, it is worth pointing that competition is fierce in the hair replacement sector, wherein sellers storm the battlegrounds all loaded with sales armory after one single aim sales. That means the first thing to fly out of the window is business ethics, to be quickly replaced by sales hyperbole and BS, mixed with a whole battalion of counter claims that will cover anything from boasts to lies and all and every misleading throw away lines that can be tossed into the middle of the Provillus sales battleground.

Just surfed on an ‘official’ Provillus website on a URL of a European country. We have not named the country as that would elevate in the URL full into the head lamps of close scrutiny, but this ‘official’ Provillus website is littered with spelling mistakes and hey, exact grammar is not all that important these days, but there is no excuse for bad spelling!

The incompetence of some of the online hair product peddlers has no bounds, and how they ever get one single sales conversion beggars belief. One issue that one can be sure of is this if anyone were to buy from this tardy ‘official’ Provillus website, most people in the world would bet that any and all buyers of Provillus from this particular website will get 100% shafted!

More focus back to the rubric – Why are reviews of Provillus often so bad? This really does not take Einstein to work this one out. Everyone in the world needs essential services like electricity, water and food. But there are more important things in life, for example your health and wellbeing. So given that health is all-important, it comes as no surprise to find that hundreds of millions of US dollars are spent annually on hair care and treatment.

So why does this global money making behemoth attract a raft of bogus and dubious vendors? Because they assess making sales on the law of averages, like on a tardy website they don’t care how cheap and unprofessional the website looks, as they only care about the traffic they can drive to this website as they know keyword targeted traffic sometimes converts. Like in the case of many online vendors of Provillus, they know that a percentage of visits will convert and only exit after they have pressed the ubiquitous buy button which sucks the money out of your credit card and/or PayPal account in real time.

Maybe this will help all hair loss sufferers that want a permanent hair restore solution – before one buys from one online website do some background profiling searches and due diligence and better still get in touch with buyers of Provillus who can tell you first hand their own personal experience when they underwent Provillus treatment and therapy.

Let’s look at stress with a typical comparison…

A guy mid forties, married, employed, two kids, gets up every day and sees the glass half empty, this guy is a pessimist by nature and who knows anything or everything may go wrong in his day. But it is likely by virtue of his outlook on life, that events are prone to have a negative impact and may accelerate stress in this category of individual.

A guy mid forties, married, employed, two kids, gets up every day and sees the glass half full. This guy is an optimist hence by nature is less vulnerable to be exposed to stress!

But it is important to stress (excuse the pun) everyone is potentially a target of stress which may accelerate a hair loss condition. With such dynamic variables thrown into the mix no wonder the world of beauty – healthcare et al is complex – complicated and in many instances unverifiable and/or even unexplained. Hence with a raft of anomalies ever present it is no wonder when along comes stress unexpectedly on a regular basis.

It is a known medical factor that sufferers of stress may accelerate biological conditions that lead to hair loss.

Now let’s progress to the age groups that are vulnerable to potential hair loss…

Children – Unfortunately and distressingly hair loss is relevant in developing children of all ages, which of course having such a condition at such a young age means that hair therapy and remedial treatment is a must have much in demand solution.

Teenage boys and girls – Yet another age group where hair matters, mainly because 2013 is where we all live in a world where a socially acceptable image is a must have.

Adults (20′s to 30′s) – This is the age bracket where it matters with well over 90 percent of all men and women not wanting to be on the downside receiving end of even one strand of hair loss. Hence people in their twenties and thirties have disposable income that they will be quick to spend if they suffer hair loss due to stress.

Adults (40′s to 50′s) – Mid life is here, and maximum stress is the norm, like husband employed but away a lot on work assignments, wife at home looking after two children in high school and so on. But who in this typical two plus two family unit has hair loss?

Well yes you probably guessed right, it is the husband as he is stressed out working around the clock, much of which time is spent away from home. Then when he does land at home base he gets an ear bashing from the wife moaning that he is always away. No wonder he suffers from acute hair loss. Let’s move along because a strand of my own hair has just landed on the keyboard.

Adults (60′s) – Folks in their sixties are often bright, active and high powered, often mega money earners, so they too care about the need to look good. This age group are very aware that they want to appear in control, take care of health and welfare, keep stress to a minimum because at this age they really do believe that stress accelerates hair loss.

But that is not surprising when one considers the very arduous and hectic work schedule, which needless to say involves a lot of travel, climate changes and differing changing time clocks. The public often see an artiste performing at a venue, enjoy the gig then think that the rock star of whatever has an easy life just performing say for 2 to 3 hours maybe every two to three days while on tour. But the reality is far removed from the bewildering imagination of a fan and/or fans that have simply bought a ticket and ambled on to the gig and then gone to the local bar or clubs after, for a couple of stiff ones or amber nectar, which of course the dead heads will bypass as their preference is to mix a Red Bull with two or more hand banging shots.

Let’s just revisit the rubric – Is Lady Gaga losing her hair? Well all one has to go on is at this time is raft of recently published papped images, and on close scrutiny it appears that Lady Gaga may well be suffering some hair loss.

Here is what may or may not be going on – her makeup team are daily faced with a visual dichotomy the super star has to look good whether on the road or on the performance stage venue. Of course this is necessary in today’s digital age as smartphones and more are everywhere then the traveling support team never know when the paparazzi will turn up cameras in hand night and day. This necessity of looking good at all times means that hair care is a daily care service often involving hair extensions – wigs and/or perms – hair curling and more. This puts the natural hair under stress and tension and can lead to patches and hair tufts being lost amongst all the never ending hairdressing support and beauty services.

It is important to understand we are not hair care experts – stylists and cutters, but 20/20 vision and shows that when zooming in on some of the papped photos one can clearly see that Lady Gaga is indeed experiencing some hair loss. Which looks very much like is a cosmetic enhanced issue wherein the wigs, hair extensions and more have been woven into the natural hair which has then come under stress and the hair follicles near the forehead scalp area have snapped and this has created some random small to minute bald patches abound above the eye line left to right running across the frontal forehead on the face of Lady Gaga.

But again it is necessary to explain that what we have noted may in fact have been a temporary hair loss or indeed a visual errata on the blown up image.

Anyway all that aside let’s move forward with more background profile details on Lady Gaga. Now recognized as one of the few present day genuinely talented superstars. Believe me this girl is not an all time loser like say the odious Justin Bieber and other similar imposters of that ilk. They like to think they are chocolate when in fact they appeal to a mentally challenged minority who worship this excuse of an entertainer.

Which brings us on to an hilarious aside Justin Bieber would improve his looks if he was hit with a star struck hair loss. (that is a opinion and not a fact and as per the laws of freedom of free speech we are all entitled to an opinion). I am amazed how the writer managed to slip in that jewel of sarcasm! It was necessary to define the comments as sarcasm as Mr Justin Bieber is so sensitive that he employs a whole team of lawyers to look out for non-copyright images and disparaging remarks that may be published about the rapidly failing teen wannabe. But hey all the disclaimers are in place and no offense, but anyone believing what they have read herein about Justin Bieber has been spoofed.

Back to the star of the rubric the sensational Lady Gaga if she is by any chance suffering from partial hair loss, all one can say is if that is the case she stills looks damn good. Let’s revisit that comment she looks sensational and what a performer unbelievable, right up there with some of the great divas of all time covering many genres of music like – Diana Ross – Whitney Houston – Barbra Streisand – Gladys Knight – Aretha Franklin – Madonna and only a select few more.

HIS are the original creators of Scalp MicroPigmentation techniques as a solution for hair loss. Ian Watson, co-founder of HIS, was the first person in the world to undergo an SMP treatment, performed by Ranbir Rai-Watson, also a co-founder of HIS.

Since its inception in 2001, HIS Hair Clinic has helped thousands of men from around the world to leave their hair loss problems behind for good. Even those who have undergone hair restoration surgery, have worn hair systems or have scars or skin conditions can benefit from Scalp MicroPigmentation by HIS.

What is Scalp MicroPigmentation?

Scalp MicroPigmentation, or SMP as it is commonly known, is a highly specialised process during which tiny deposits of pigment are positioned within the dermal layer of the skin. When applied by a skilled practitioner, these deposits replicate the look of real shaven hair.

Our SMP treatments are as flexible as you need them to be. Typically our clients are able to specify the shape of their frontal hairline and side profiles, request a defined or super-soft “broken” hairline, opt for a more receded look or use lighter pigments for a softer look overall. SMP is intended to create the style you always wanted, and our practitioners are fully trained to cater for all requirements including treatments for white, Hispanic, black and Asian skin tones.

SMP by HIS Hair Clinic is a permanent solution for hair loss. All that is required of the recipient is that they keep their hair cut to the right length using standard hair clippers, an electric face shaver or razor. The length that the hair should be cut to is solely dependent upon the extent of the clients hair loss. We also recommend that all clients keep their skin healthy and hydrated by regularly moisturising their scalp.

A short touch-up session may be required for some clients from time to time, however in such cases, these sessions are usually at least five years apart.

What is the process?

All clients are invited to participate in a free consultation session with a member of our team. In most cases these consultations are conducted face to face, however for clients who are based overseas or for those who may find it difficult to travel to their local HIS clinic, consultations can be completed via email or Skype if preferred.

During your consultation you have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you desire, and advice will be provided that is specific to your own individual circumstances. It is important to note that your consultation is completely without obligation, and is conducted in a friendly, informal manner at all times.

Should you choose to proceed with treatment, either at the end of your consultation or when you have had time to consider your options, we will arrange mutually suitable dates, times and locations for your treatment sessions.

The majority of treatments are completed within 2-3 sessions, however additional sessions may be required depending on your circumstances. All quotations are fixed, therefore if more sessions are needed than originally anticipated, no additional fee is payable.

What results are realistically achievable?

The result you can expect is directly linked to the skill of your practitioner, and the quality of the pigments that are applied.

All our practitioners are taught to the same standard at our international Training Academy in the United Kingdom, to ensure that the same exceptional results are delivered time and again, no matter which of our clinics you visit for your treatment. HIS is the gold standard for Scalp MicroPigmentation, and our practitioners are unquestionably regarded as the best in the world.

Following your treatment, the only people who will find out are those who you choose to tell. HIS clients are able to return to their workplaces, social circles and families with confidence. Many of our clients even choose not to tell their partners or parents. The results are so realistic, our SMP treatments are on a strictly “need to know” basis.

Can SMP conceal scars, alopecia and other imperfections?

Absolutely, yes. Many of our clients have acquired scars and skin blemishes during their lifetime that they wish to conceal. This includes strip and FUE scars caused by hair restoration surgery, other surgical scars, accident-related scars and other imperfections such as burns or skin conditions.

Scalp MicroPigmentation is commonly used to conceal alopecia areata, however other forms such as alopecia totalis and traction alopecia are also straightforward to camouflage using SMP. When treating alopecia our aim is to provide the client with peace of mind and renewed confidence, regardless of whether or not the real hair returns.

What guarantees do we offer?

Our aim is to ensure that every HIS client achieves the most realistic result, by delivering a bespoke service on a case by case basis. SMP is hugely adaptable and a wide range of options are available. Furthermore every person is unique, with different preferences and requirements. Our track record is undeniably second to none in delivering first class client satisfaction.

Further to this aim, we provide all our clients with a full 12 month guarantee to guard against any unexpected financial outlay as a result of short term fading. Most clients experience some fading immediately following treatment, in fact it is a normal, functional part of the process. However for any clients who feel their pigments have faded more than desired, we are there to ensure the final result is exactly as it should be – with no additional treatment costs, guaranteed.

Furthermore, we are the only SMP company in the world to provide a free to use public forum, enabling all clients past, current and prospective, to discuss the treatment and their experiences in a safe, unadulterated environment.

A word of caution

HIS Hair Clinics have spent many years developing the SMP technique. It is very important that prospective clients understand that it is not just about the results you see today, but more importantly, the appearance of the treated scalp in years to come.

As the popularity of our treatment has grown, several competitors have emerged looking to cash in on this type of service. Please be aware that not all companies achieve the same results, therefore it is crucial to ask for independently verifiable case studies before committing to any treatment plan.

Unlike many of our competitors that use tattoo or permanent makeup inks, our pigments will never change colour. Regular inks are not suitable for this type of treatment, however a growing number of our competitors clients are coming to HIS for remedial work following botched treatments.

“Why am I going bald, what have I done to deserve such a horrible fate?” I hear you cry.

Well it appears that you may be suffering from a condition known as postpartum hair loss. This is a sometimes daunting condition that involves the sudden shedding of hair that many new mothers will experience for the first three to six months after giving birth to their new born child. It can be an unnerving experience for many as the hair often falls out in large clumps which are often a cause of alarm for many.

So what causes postpartum hair loss?

For the average person your head will usually shed roughly 100 hairs day, the chances are you will not notice this or it is not to obvious as this will happen throughout the course of the day, not all at once.

Your hair goes through three stages during its life cycle. The first is known as the growth phase, the second is the transitional phase and finally you have the resting phase. It is during the period of resting that your hair is shed.

During your period of pregnancy, the increase in hormones that your body is producing is actually serving to prevent hair loss, this explains your beautiful thick locks that you have been so proud of and were looking forward to maintaining, hair that you could barely brush because it was so thick that the brush was getting stuck.

Unfortunately after your pregnancy term, and after you have given birth, the hormone levels in your body will return to normal levels, usually within 3 months. Once the hormone levels drop to those normal levels, the excess hair that you have been so proud of will drop out too.

The main offending hormone in this instance is estrogen. During the pregnancy levels of estrogen are actually increased in the body which causes an extension in the growth period of your hairs life cycle and once the estrogen levels return to normal the long period of hair growth comes to an end and the body begins to shed the hair. For many lucky ones the hair thinning gradual, though at a slightly higher rate than normal, for some unfortunate ones however, it can be a shock when the hair seems to come out in clumps every time you brush.

So there is no need to panic when my hair starts to vanish?

The important thing to remember is not to worry, you are not going to lose all of your hair and go bald, and your hair is simply just returning to the normal levels that you had pre pregnancy.

If you are breast feeding your newborn, you may actually find that the hair loss period is delayed slightly until you begin to wean or move on to using baby milk formula. This is due to the body maintaining the hormone levels that you had during pregnancy, whilst in the breast feeding period.

Whether you are breast feeding or not, you can be safe in the knowledge that eventually once your body gets back to its status quo, the hair loss will return to the normal levels of an average person and the excess hair shedding will stop.

Is there anything that I can do to prevent or help me deal with hair loss after pregnancy?

Unfortunately stopping the postpartum hair loss entirely is not going to happen, however, there are a number of things you can do maintain your hair and possibly slow down or limit the effects of hair loss both from a psychological and physiological perspective.

Be gentle with your hair during the period of shedding. Only shampoo your hair when it is absolutely necessary and make sure you use a good conditioner. This will serve to keep your hair healthy and in great condition. Take care after showering.

When your hair is wet, it will lose around about 1/3 of its strength so be careful not to tie your hair up when it is still wet or wrap it in a towel and if you do find that your hair is tangled when wet, try to use a wide tooth comb rather than a brush to detangle it.

Instead of brushing, try to use a wide tooth comb. This will prevent excessive tangling which can result in excess hair being pulled out from the scalp.

Eating well and ensuring that your body is getting the correct vitamins and minerals will ensure that your hair remains healthy. You may want to consider taking a prenatal vitamin supplement which is also important during post pregnancy. By maintaining healthy hair you will ensure that you are not shedding over excessively. Your general feeling of well being will also be increased by having a healthy body.

Try to avoid the use or over use of curling tongs, straighteners and hair driers where possible. These will most likely dry the hair and can lead to breakage in the hair which will only further increase the number of hairs you end up shedding each day.

Avoid chemical hair and beauty treatments such as highlights, dying and perms until after the postpartum hair loss period has subsided. Again such treatments will degrade the condition of your hair and may result in more excess hair loss.

Just to contradict the previous statement slightly, hair colouring can actually plump out the hair strands slightly which will make your hair appear to be thicker and fuller.

The important thing to remember is not to over stress. It is obviously alarming when you do start to shed hair but just remember that it is entirely normal. Stress can actually increase the hair loss further and you may actually find that you are shedding more hair than normal.

Finally if you do find that after the 3 to 6 month period that your hair is not loss has not returned to normal levels, don’t panic, go and speak to your doctor who will advise you further on what to do.
