FIVE --- THE PONYTAIL PALM TREE

As a child of the 60's and 70's I remember that half the boys

in my town had haircuts very similar to this botanical rock star.

Remember the episode where Captain Kirk 

affixed an unruly gang of tribbles to his scalp?  

FIVE --- EMOTIONAL/PHYSICAL STRESS

It's often said that it isn't stress that kills but it is how one deals with stress that matters.  Recent data shows that stress can  contribute to hair loss, particularly in early middle age and beyond. Our bodies react differently and at times, surprisingly. The dictionary defines stress as a "demand upon physical or mental energy".  Stress puts demands on us to perform well above our capacity. Stress happens to all of us, and typically each day. Stress can also be related to change.  Loss of a job or divorce, death in the family, or even something as seemingly benign as a residential move can trigger hair loss causing stress.  Most times, its temporary.  Sometimes though, it isn't.  

#4   FULLER HAIR HELPS YOU STAY HEALTHY

Okay, how can this possibly be true?  Here's how.  People who care about their appearance make healthier choices. Face it, if you hate the way your hair is thinning, you're more likely to skip your daily exercise routine and go for that extra fattening dessert.  This is simply human nature.  When you value your appearance, you take steps to keep yourself in shape.  What more obvious cue to your overall appearance is there than your hair?  

Sometimes it's obvious.  No ambiguity.  The hair is definitely thinning, the temples receding, a bald spot forming in the crown.  For many folks however, the progression of hair loss can be maddeningly subtle.  

One of the most prolific areas of basic research today is on aging.  From quality of life, to the onset of diseases associated with age, a key goal is to stack the deck in favor of healthful longevity.  As a visible sign of advancing years, few physical changes are more obvious than progressive hair loss.  Even for individuals who have escaped early-onset androgenetic alopecia, the later years take their toll. 

#10  Vice President Joe Biden

Here Mr. Biden explains the nuances of our delicate relationship with Russia.  Or, he could just be blurting out another stream of random nonsense.  Sometimes it's kinda hard to tell.  

Okay.  We get it.  You're good at twisting the truth.  Whether you guys have come out of the used car sales field or the sidewalk shell game business or whatever swamp you previously paddled around in, your natural inclination is to concoct fairy tales.  But stop it!  Because by lying to your customers you're harming them.  When a person is suffering pattern hair loss they're vulnerable and in their panic and desperation they will reach for anything that sounds like it might possibly have a tiny chance of working, data be damned. 

In an effort to unmask a scam presently being perpetrated online by various unscrupulous purveyors of hair treatments, Hair Genesis® intends to invest time and energy to shutting down fake hair loss product comparison websites.  Because the hair loss product consumer is in a stress-filled situation, he or she is susceptible to these kind of bad business-like tactics.  Taking advantage of the emotionally distraught consumer, more than one hair product marketer has made it their practice to publish fictitious hair loss product comparisons on various websites.  These often go under the title "Hair Loss Treatment Comparison" or Hair Growth Product Consumer Review" etc.  A cursory examination leads the site visitor to the mistaken conclusion that these comparisons are generally legitimate.  However, as we'll now explain, they aren't.

Almost daily, the news channels report substantive breakthroughs in advancing human health.  New drugs, new approaches using molecular tools such as stem cells, and other 21st Century techniques herald an apparently endless stream of medical miracles.  But what about garden variety common pattern hair loss?  It's almost 2012.  So where's the cure?
