Further to our earlier article on Stem Cell Research into Hair loss which you can find on http://www.prohairbiosystems.com/blog/science/stem-cell-research-into-hair-loss/ This is a follow on article, which gives more detail. It has been revealed that Scientists have identified stem cells or master cells in the hair follicles of mice. They discovered that the stem cells develop into hair follicles and produce hair when they are transplanted into skin. George Cotsarelis, Assistant Professor of dermatology from the University of Pennsylvania, said that the study could lead to new ways of treating hair loss in humans using drugs, surgery or both. “This may lead to a new type of tissue engineering for treating baldness – for example, isolating hair follicle stem cells from the… read more

Nizoral shampoo has an active ingredient of Ketonazole. It was originally marketed back in the 1980′s as an anti dandruff shampoo, and was very effective since it acted as an antifungal and was effective against the yeast which caused dandruff which is a bug called Pityrosporum ovale. So far so good. However, ketonazole had previously been available in tablet form for treatment of fungal infections and a well known and well documented side effect of the tablets was testicular atrophy. Put bluntly your testes stop working properly and in extreme cases get smaller and stop producing testosterone at all. The reason that ketonazole produces testicular atrophy is the same reason that some people find it also helps their hair loss…. read more

Grey hair is caused by a reduction of pigmentation, whereas white hair has no pigment all. Why this happens remains somewhat of a mystery. In time, everyone’s hair turns grey eventually and your chances of going grey increases by 10-20% every decade after 30 years. Fundamentally, hair is white. It then gets its natural colour from a pigment called melanin. The formation of melanin begins before birth and is also responsible for your skin colour and tanning in the sun. The natural colour of your hair depends upon the distribution, type and amount of melanin in the middle layer of the hair shaft or cortex. Hair has only two types of pigments: dark (eumelanin) and light (phaeomelanin). They blend together… read more

In short yes. The two directors of Pro Hair Biosystems are both users of ProFusion System. One noticed his hair was receding in his late 20′s and this gradually got worse. He tried a number of hair loss treatments such as American Crew and Schwarzkopf products, but the only hair loss product which stabilised the loss was ProFusion, although the American Crew product seemed quite good for a while. The Schwarzkopf product he suspected may have been making his hair loss worse. He knows first hand, what it is like to have hair loss, having been bald on his crown for 20 years or so (he knows that area won’t regrow), but when the remainder started to disappear rapidly he… read more

So how many hairs do you expect to lose each day anyway? The experts say that a man typically loses around 100 hairs every day. When we are children or before showing any signs of hair loss, these lost hairs are replaced in the normal cycle of hair growth. When hair loss occurs, the lost hair begins to be replaced by (literally) a thinner hair, and then thinner shorter hairs until eventually the root fails to produce a hair follicle at all. When this happens the hair root is still capable of producing a hair for a while, but once no hair has been produced for a few years, the jury is out on whether it will ever be able… read more

ProFusion shampoo and conditioner is of course, formulated to prevent hair loss. When you first start to lose your hair it can be quite traumatic. This is because it is something that happens to you, rather than something that has always been like that. For example, most tall people have been tall for most of their lives and suddenly don’t become short. But we all had hair as children but only about half of us have hair when we are older. Instead of concentrating on hair loss, we’d like you to share the factors of your appearance which are more important to you than hair loss. For example, do you rate your build, your height, your complexion, your sporting ability….so… read more

ProFusion products are formulated to prevent hair loss in men. We also support medical research into hair loss. We know that hair loss is genetic and anecdotally is linked to a person’s maternal grandfather. To test this theory and see how valid it is, if you are currently experiencing hair loss can you let us know 1. Did your father have a good head of hair?2. Did your paternal grandfather (father’s father) have a good head of hair?3. Did your material grandfather (mother’s father) have a good head of hair? By ‘good head of hair’ we mean, did he avoid premature hair loss, as nearly everyone loses a significant amount of their hair as they get into their 50′s, 60′s… read more
