Keying in this term in any search engine will bring about a bewildering array of solutions, some more mainstream than others. The truth is thankfully much simpler – there are two treatments scientifically proven to help pattern hairloss : a liquid/foam (Minoxidil) and a tablet (Finasteride). That’s it! Almost.

The truth is that these treatments can be used in different strengths and can be combined but realistically neither is going to allow someone with significant or total loss to regrow a full head of hair. Having said that, however, the sooner the treatment begins the greater the benefit, as beyond a certain point the follicles can’t be salvaged.

The two recognised treatments work in different ways : the liquid/foam by widening the follicle leading to thicker hair and by prolonging the growth stage in the hair cycle, whilst the tablets help block the conversion of the male hormone (Testosterone) into DHT (the hormone associated with hair loss). As the tablets deal with male hormones, they are not suitable for women.

As you might expect any form of medication requires careful thought, particularly as the treatment is not short-term. Also the person’s medical history needs to be looks at and the issue of any possible side effects discussed. For these reasons at Hair Technology International we strongly recommend a proper face to face consultation and we strongly disapprove of any online prescriptions or the like.

Having led the hair enhancement business in the UK for 20 years, we have recognised for some time that females with fine or thinning hair may be unsuitable for conventional extensions. Often these can cause damage to the existing hair and are hampered by the need to have strong hair as an anchor wherever the extensions are added. For all too many women they simply don’t have enough good, strong hair for this technique to work properly.

After years of development Hair Technology International proudly introduced Elle v.8 hair extensions, our unique patent protected system, taking existing hair weft technology and adding a mesh foundation to create a whole new world of possibilities

Two elements, three sizes and a million possibilities

Two elements –
1) remi european hair wefts
2) patent-protected mesh foundation with in-built second skin part and cutaway wefts

Three sizes –
1) small : sides and back only, where other areas sufficiently full
2) medium : fringe/frontal enhancement with extra length and volume at the sides and back
3) large : full head enhancement where overall improved coverage is needed

A million possibilities –

The secret is in the design of the patent-protected mesh foundation. This allows a fully customisable look with a greatly reduced number of connections whilst offering maximum coverage and impact

The first step to a great new head of hair is just to speak to us on 0141 331 2688 or drop us an email – we really are only here to help.

Okay, so there isn’t really a vacancy but the point is that this industry desperately needs a good PR! How many businesses can offer people the chance to change their lives for the better but that aren’t talked about and are kept secret, often from the customers’ nearest and dearest!

At Hair Technology International we have seen first hand how peoples’ lives can be changed for the better simply by taking away their worries over hair loss. For women, hair thinning can be devastating and can really take away the quality of their day to day life. Surely this should be publicised as widely as possible so more people can benefit from the techniques we offer? Well in the real world we will continue to help everyone who comes to us and take comfort from knowing how we have positively impacted their lives.

If you are a client reading this, however, and a friend or family member is suffering as you did before we helped, please try to pluck up the courage to offer some help as they may just be waiting for you to make the first move.

As always, we are here to help and only a phone call or an email away.
