Hair Replacement for Burn Victims

Just so people don’t get the idea that I’m totally against hair replacement, I’m happy to highlight a story like this one from the Worcester Telegram. It tells the story of Blerim Grajcevci, who as a five year-old in Kosovo sufffered severe burns that have left him unable to grow hair on much of his […]

Dog Gone Hair

I must be finding inspiration in the puppy dog eyes my wife was giving me this afternoon after she and our daughter wandered out of a local pet shop. Whatever the cause, this article on hair loss among dogs caught my eye this evening. It’s a local news Q & A type article written by […]

Photo-Therapy to Treat Baldness

Turning our attention from where the sun don’t shine, lets shine a spotlight on Ege University in Izmir, Turkey. The Faculty of Medicine Dermatology Major Branch issued a statement yesterday that they are having success treating hair loss with photo-therapy. Treatments use either ultraviolet-A in combination with Psovaleren, or untraviolet-B rays alone. I don’t have […]

Smoking Where the Sun Don’t Shine

OK, this isn’t expressly related to baldness, but it caught my eye… probably because I get slammed with spam on a serious of posts I wrote last year on smoking and baldness as part of a b5media Science & Health Topic du Jour.

Bald Breakfast

Coffee, eggs and a side of combover… Order up!
OK, I’ll confess to a certain infatuation with the people writing it to Dr. Rassman at Balding Blog. Other commitments are limiting my time here, but he never fails to entertain me… oh, and educate as well.
Recently he posted a couple of breakfast themed questions. In one […]

Big Brother Looking out for Little Sister with Alopecia

Here’s a story that makes me think one day… perhaps… my own children will still get on with each other.
Meet Sharod Gandy. He plays basketball up in New Jersey… All-Bergen County for Englewood, which means he’s pretty good.
Now meet Ariel Williams. She’s seven. She’s Sharod’s little sister. And she’s got alopecia.
“She ignores it. She takes […]

Ancient Egyptian Hair Found!

You just never know what will turn up on eBay, do you?

From the article I glean that the 3 millennium old locks have been missing for a few decades. Seems a rather creepy thing to steal if you ask me. Nevertheless, the temptation proved too strong. Receiving the hair from his father one Jean-Michel Diebolt, […]
