Hair Extensions for Women with Hair Loss

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

Just saw an interesting press release about a company that is marketing a new solution for women with hair loss.  They use real human hair extensions in a way that is designed to help women who have thinning hair.  The hair loss could be caused by chemotherapy, or other types of hair loss typically experienced by females, such as those caused by hormonal changes and stress.

It seems like a pretty nice system, and their pictures are very impressive.  Here’s their website:

Female hair thinning/loss is frequently overlooked, but is a fairly common problem.  Men have it pretty bad when we start to bald, but for females it is probably even more hard to deal with.  On top of the aesthetic issues, there is the general feeling that hair loss in females isn’t as “normal” as in men.  At least whena guy starts balding, it’s nothing too unusual.

Anyways, Kudos to this company for creating a valuable solution that hopefully will help a lot of people who are seeking a solution.

Bruce Willis Defends Bald Guys!

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Bruce Willis, who is filming Die Hard 4 in Baltimore MD, reportedly told reporters “I’m a man and I will beat up anybody who tries to tell me that I am not a man just because my hair is thinning.”

This report is from the U.K entertainment site lse.co.uk, so I can’t verify it’s authenticity. The website also reported that Mr. Willis is not wearing a hair piece because he wants to reflect the age of his character in the movie. But I don’t remember John McClane being that bald… or Bruce Willis ever having much hair. Maybe that’s just me though.
Coincidentally, I work in downtown Baltimore, where Die Hard 4 is shooting. The commute SUCKED last week, so thanks a lot Bruce Willis! And this delay wasn’t nearly as entertaining as when the Cosplay conference was in town. At least they were wrapped around the convention center in interesting costumes.

But, at least Bruce is sticking up for bald guys, and making us look good on-screen.
