Hair loss occurs in men as they age. A thick scalp may suddenly start thinning and the hairline may start receding due to various factors. A major cause of this condition is genetic baldness. Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is inherited. It can begin during the adolescent years but is most common in adult men. Hair loss occurs primarily on the top and front of the head. Some of the treatments available to treat male pattern baldness include the following: 1. Prescription medicine and OTC medicines The FDA has approved a few medications to treat male pattern baldness. They include Minoxidil (which can be applied on the scalp as a liquid) and Finasteride (a pill). These medicines come with some side effects which one should be aware of before taking them. There are some other OTC medications which are also used. Always consult with doctors and take treatments based on prescription. 2. Hair transplant There are two types of hair plant procedures. Follicular unit transplantation and extraction—(FUT) and (FUE). FUT is the more common method. It is done by removing some skin from the scalp, where there is a lot of hair, and removing the follicles from the skin and then reinserting the follicles into the part of the scalp where there is hair loss.

The hair care industry in the US has been growing at a fast rate over the past few years, and the key factor contributing to these innovations is the increased consumer demand. Several hair care brands have emerged over the years and have been making continuous updates to existing products available in the market. Hair straighteners have also been subjected to innovations and there have been quite a few new types introduced recently. Centuries ago, it was observed that when hair was pressed between two hot rods, it ended up looking straight and smooth. This gave way to the traditional flat iron, which has very much evolved since, with new materials used on the rods and newer technology replacing them. However, the basic principle has remained the same. The following highlights the recent innovations that have been seen in hair straighteners: 1. Ceramic plates Ceramic plates have been in use for a few years now. A more recent feature is using floating plates, whose suspended plates move freely with the hair and enable maximum contact, thereby providing quicker results. Another feature is ionic heating which retains the hair’s moisture and causes less damage than regular heating. Flat irons with infrared light have also been introduced.

If you want to get rid of unwanted hair for good and are not satisfied with waxing, tweezing, or shaving, then laser hair removal may be the best option available. This is a cosmetic procedure that is most commonly done in the country. In this procedure, the laser beams contain highly concentrated light which is then emitted on the hair follicles; after this, the pigments in the hair follicles absorb this light which helps to destroy the hair. Laser hair removal is generally useful for getting rid of unwanted hair in the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line. Some of the benefits of laser hair removal include: 1. Precision and speed Precision, speed, and predictability are part of the benefits of laser hair removal. Lasers are able to target and destroy dark, coarse hair while leaving the skin surrounding it undamaged. Laser hair removal is a very quick process as each pulse of the laser takes just a fraction of a second and can treat multiple hair at the same time. The area representing a size of a quarter can be treated every second using a laser. Areas like the upper lip, which are comparatively small, can be treated by the laser in less than a minute whereas larger areas like the back or legs may take up to an hour.
