Hair Camouflage
Options to make that perfect lasting impression

Hair Camouflage
Like our face, our hairstyle is a nonverbal signature display representing who, what, and even "why" we are. Losing hair is therefore a traumatic experience for many. Hair loss has significant detrimental effects on both men and women who suffer from it. Negative impacts on self-esteem and how one is perceived by others is only the start of the heartache. For a person who is experiencing some degree of significant hair loss, these are the basic choices to be made: he may simply choose to accept his hair loss as a fact of life or try to adjust his hairstyle to hide the areas that are thinning or simply wear wigs and toupees.

The best option of all - Hair Camouflage

In a great majority of hair loss cases, tricho-treatment will successfully cure the problem. But in some cases, there is nothing that can be done, as the root of the hair itself is dead. Absence of the hair root indicates inability to re-grow the hair. This is when the trichologist would suggest the patient to consider the option of hair camouflage.

A) Non- surgical hair camouflage includes the 'Carefree Hair' treatment, which gives you natural looking hair. It is the perfect solution for incurable baldness, alopecia and other hair loss conditions. This treatment involves the strand-by-strand method by using Revolution Hair and DermaFront. Revolution hair is high quality synthetic hair which is heat, chemical and water-resistant and absorbs and reflects light better. It is matched to your own colour, texture and density by analysing the colour and composition of your hair. To prevent tangling of the hair, the hair cuticle is removed. Treated this way, the hair is easier to comb, shampoo and style. It can also be waved or curled to your preference giving it a luxurious, full-bodied look.
On the other hand, DermaFront is a new development in derma film. It is an invisible, skin-toned film that fits just around your hairline. It is perfectly ventilated, light and transparent. It helps in making your hairline look softer and more natural.

Hair Camouflage

B) Surgical Hair Camouflage is performed by single hair follicle grafting and is available for the first time in India. This advanced hair transplant technique is effective in classic cases of hormone-related hair loss. This method uses the hair on the back of the head that is genetically programmed to grow well past adulthood. This hair is transplanted to the front of the head, using approximately 2000 - 2500 follicles at one time. The follicles are placed 1.5 - 2 mm apart in an interdigitating break pattern; with the direction determined by the patient's hairstyle. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, the patient can choose to stay overnight at the hospital or go home. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication is advised for five days after the surgery. Within three-four months, hair growth is manifested in the follicles. Single hair follicle grafting is a long-term solution to typical male and female pattern balding.

C) Temporary Hair Camouflage is just right if you have thinning hair but want them to look full and luxuriant for special occasions. In this treatment, a complex of tiny micro fibre hair blends in with your hair and scalp. Applied by sprinkling it over your thinning area, it electro-statically bonds to your own hair, giving it the appearance of fullness. It stays in place until you shampoo it out.

Hair loss can be devastating, but technology and medical expertise have now made good options available. Avail of them in time, and make that perfect lasting impression.
