The World Congress of Hair Research is held every three years and is the premier event on the international hair research calendar. In 2010, the congress will be held in Cairns, Australia which really is a beautiful part of the world! The event will bring together hair biologists, dermatologists and hair transplant surgeons who all seek a common goal… a deeper understanding of hair growth in health and disease.

Human Or Synthetic Hair? Don’t Get Ripped Off!
Synthetic hair costs a lot less than human hair. A sneaky trick some manufacturers use is to add some synthetic hair to each strand of human hair. They won’t completely substitute all the human hair for synthetic hair as this would be too obvious. But a small number of hairs in each strand will save a manufacturer a lot of money and you’ll often not immediately detect that the hair is synthetic.

Traction Alopecia is gradual hair loss which mainly occurs due to a pulling force on the hair. The end result can be very distressing for a sufferer of traction alopecia with either thinned hair or bald patches.

The Long History Of Hair Extensions
I have to admit, I’ve never given much thought as to how long hair extensions have been around for. From my experience, they didn’t really gain mass appeal until the 2000’s, before then extensions seemed to be reserved for the uber rich. The main reason they have become available to the mainstream public is that the newer methods are so much easier to apply. This has resulted in many more salons offering an extension service, and also many online sellers offering do-it-yourself type products like clip on extensions. Also, newer methods of application are now much safer and so women aren’t as afraid to add extensions.
