The Purchase: The Best Place to Buy

If you intend to invest in a high-quality and well-fitted hairpiece, trust only an expert. You can avoid the most common disappointments in the finished product if you start right--by selecting someone who knows his business.

Let us use David Hansen as an example. He has won every hair styling competition available: State, Midwest, National, Canadian, and World Championship. More recently he has receive recognition in the field of hairpiece construction and styling. This is the type of man you can put your trust in.

Stay away from mail-order hairpieces and prestyled creations! You have distinct characteristics which must be analyzed by a professional before your hairpiece is designed. Ideally, you should buy your hairpiece from a stylist who manufacturers his own pieces. Only then will you receive a truly customized product.

When asked his opinion of mail-order hairpieces, David Hansen was very adamant in his judgment, insisting: "I would be amazed if a man could take his own measurements and hair samples, determine his most complimentary hairstyle, and then shape and style the hairpiece. He'd have such a rare talent, I'd probably offer him a job! In the case of mail-order pieces, there's only one person who comes out smelling like a rose, and that's the seller! That's not what this business is all about. We're here to please the customer. Doing that through the mail is quite inconceivable. I not only refuse to handle hairpieces from out-of-town sources, I insist on making my own. This is the only way I can guarantee a perfect match."

Even if you take a mail-order hairpiece to a local stylist for the cutting and fitting, chances of satisfaction are very limited. Prior consultation is a necessity, just as personal instruction in the handling and care is required.

You'll be able to tell if a man is serious about the quality of his hairpieces just by taking a look at the premises on which he conducts his business. Does he have a private consultation area and fitting rooms that are modern and well-equipped? Are there ample supplies and sample pieces on hand? Is the atmosphere a professional one in which transactions are carried out in an orderly and efficient member? Do his employees and customers respect him?

If the answer to any of these questions is negative, find another distributor, someone who is serious about serving you. Just take a good look around you when you enter a shop, keep your eyes and ears open, and you'll have no trouble deciding whether or not the man is a pro.

The man you are looking for will be innovative and progressive. He'll be willing to give his personal guarantee of satisfaction, and he'll be willing to take the extra time required to guide you in the wear and care of your new hairpiece.

In most cases, your instinct will be a satisfactory guide. But if you'd like some assurance, check with your local Better Business Bureau, consult with previous customers, and take a look at a competitors' offers before you're willing to say that one man's services look like the best.

Celebrity hairpieces, celebrity hair transplants… You are not alone

Celebrity hairpieces, celebrity hair transplants… You are not alone

Whether you are famous or not everyone is concerned about his or her looks. In this day and age it seems like everyone wants to look their best, not only for others but also for themselves. Many actors wear hairpieces, this help them boost their self-esteem as well as makes them look or feel younger. After all, a good head of hair is associated with youth, and attractiveness, so when hair loss happens, it can come as a surprise.
Some examples of celebrities who wear hairpieces are,

John Travolta has a very natural looking hair replacement. He wears a lace front system that creates a soft hairline. The color and wave pattern are well matched making the hair blend right into the hair replacement system.

William Shatner who starred in Star Trek has an excellent hairpiece; I have been following him for about 40 years. The reason it is a great hairpiece is that he has good hair on the sides and on the back of his head. This creates plenty of hair to blend into the hairpiece.  If you do not have that much hair on the sides or in the back, it would be much harder to blend the hairpiece in with the hairpiece. Unless done by a professional, you would have to take a hair sample from the right areas of your hair. From my opinion, he wears a lace front hair replacement hairpiece, showing his recession, which also gives it a natural look.

John Wayne, known for his in many western films is another exception. He has a variety of different hairpieces. Sometimes he wears good hair replacement systems and sometimes he wears bad hairpieces.
There is plenty of hair replacement specialists out there with different opinions about the right hair loss hair replacement system. You would have to find the one that fits you the best and makes you feel great about yourself. Every man or woman can experience hair loss for any of these reasons whether it be from childbirth, to an infection, or from medication. The treatment is in your hands to decide.

Charleston Heston, known as Moses from The Ten Commandments. This is a bad piece. There is too much hair on the front and top, it is too heavy and not enough hair on the sides, I would suggest he grow out the hair on the sides more. The sides are thin and the top is too heavy. He has never had that much hair in his lifetime, there would be no need for him to have that much hair at his age now. The hairpiece should be lightly ventilated and with a slight wave to give it movement. In addition, it should be a lace front, so it would soften his hairline and look natural with his scalp. This is an example of what not to wear; it is all in the cut which is 75% of the hairpiece.

Hugh Hefner, known for Playboy. He does not wear a hairpiece anymore. The man is 88 years old, but notice he has hair on the front, all he needs is a partial hairpiece that he can comb his own hair over. In addition, you would never know it, but if he grows his hair longer on the sides, he can blend it in more into the hairpiece and look more natural. This would also give his face a better frame. I would love to make him a great hairpiece if I got the chance to.

Cancer hair loss

www.davidhansen.com
The common name for medical hair loss solution is cranial prosthesis.

These are designed by David Hansen for people experiencing hair loss due to:

• Chemotherapy
• Radiation
• All types of Alopecia
• Burn victims
• Accident victims

Chemotherapy and radiation

• Many radiation and chemotherapy patients experience hair loss during their treatment. This could last anywhere from a year up, meanwhile there are solutions to this excessive hair loss. Custom made full skull-caps are especially designed to cover the entire balding area from the widow’s peak all the way to the nape of the neck. This gives the patient a full head of natural looking hair, similar to the way they had it before the hair loss.
  

Chemotherapy and cancer treatment hair loss

Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, chemotherapy drugs, and radiation may result in hair loss. This can vary from temporary to permanent hair loss. While with chemotherapy the hair loss is usually temporary when it comes to radiation it can go either way.

With chemotherapy if an individual is going to lose their hair varies with each patient. Some people experience hair loss that usually begins one to three weeks after the beginning of treatment, others do not experience hair loss at all. The hair loss due to chemotherapy usually starts growing back anywhere from six months to a year after the treatment.

Since custom made cranial prosthesis take six to eight weeks to be produced depending on the time of the year, it is better to order your prosthesis before the hair loss occurs. By planning in advance it is also possible for David Hansen the hair replacement specialist(main page) to match your original hair color, texture, and wave pattern.

 

Insurance coverage options

Individuals experiencing hair loss due to medical reasons such as cancer, alopecia, accidents, or burns may be eligible for between 80 to a 100% reimbursement from their insurance provider.

 

There are several guidelines you need to follow in order to receive 

this coverage:

• Check the benefits of your insurance (usually there is a section under covered expenses that relates to prostheses.)
• You would need to ask your physician to write you a prescription for FULL CRANIAL HAIR PROSTHESIS
• To be safe you may also want to ask the physician to write a letter explaining the impact hair loss has on a person’s well being that are symptomatic  of your condition.  Low self esteem, depression and isolation are some common symptoms.
• Once you order your cranial hair prosthesis keep the copy of your sales or invoice receipt.
• You may also include a letter from you explaining the importance of the prosthesis for your well being.

Things to know when living with a hairpiece

Things to know when living with a hairpiece

When a person starts to wear a hair replacement system, there are certain things they must know in order to have it look natural and last for as long as possible. Here I will explain how it is to live with one and still live your daily life.

When thinking of getting a custom-made hairpiece, it would typically take 6-8 weeks from order date to come in to get it to the right specifications. The specifications would include color, texture, wave pattern of your natural hair and style. Reasons for that are not only to give the natural look but also to prevent any changes to the style when you come in for fitting of hairpiece.

Typically, a hairpiece can weigh about 2 ounces. It weighs that little after the cut and styling with your own natural hair. This is an advantage for you since it will feel undetectable and blend in with your own.

If you have read my previous blogs, I have stated that a tape on hairpiece is the best way and most sanitized way to wear a hair replacement system compared to when you bond on a hairpiece. It takes just a few minutes to put tape on the hairpiece. The tape used would be double-sided tape, and all that is needed is a few small pieces. When put on properly and when applied to a clean scalp, the hairpiece will not budge. Winds would blow YOU away before the hairpiece!

The hair replacement specialist will explain and show you how to place and tape on the hairpiece. If you can spare 3-4 minutes a day and have a wide-tooth comb or a bristle brush, a tape on hairpiece is for you. With time and more practice, you will probably do it with-in 1-2 minutes.  That type of comb and/or brush is best not only for your hairpiece but also for your own natural hair.

For the hairpiece to last the longest and keep looking its best, it is best not to shower and sleep in it. If you leave the hairpiece on, you are shortening the life of it. Your hairpiece is like clothing; you wouldn’t shower or sleep in it if you intend to wear it continuously. It also best not to swim or do strenuous activities outdoors whiling wearing it. Extensive sun can also cause the hairpiece to lighten in color, as much as 3-4 shades lighter. It is best and also suggested to have a synthetic one to knock around in and also your custom made hairpiece for all other activities.

When the hairpiece is in need of a servicing, bring it to your hair replacement specialist. The hairpiece is just like a car, you would take it to a mechanic unless you are a mechanic yourself, and it goes the same for the hairpiece. It must be cleaned with special fluid that performs best only by a professional. Typically, every time you would need a haircut, the hairpiece should be treated just as good.

A hairpiece, if taken care of, would last up to a year and maybe longer, with few or no adjustments or repairs required. The main “repairs” needed for a hairpiece is re-coloring, addition of more hair, and/or replacement of base.  It may seem like a custom made hairpiece is expensive but it would be well worth the money in the end compared to a stock piece, which you would probably have to keep buying month after month and end up paying the same amount. Quality is always better than quantity. Hope this helped to give some answers and feedback. Good Luck & Good Looking

How to choose best hair loss system from best person

How to choose best hair loss system from best person

     By researching and investing the time to find the right hair replacement system, you will save money and time in the end. You can avoid disappointment with the finished product with the right start. To start you should have trust in an expert of hair systems. When you have that trust, you will feel safe and you will know “the expert” will help you look good.

         I believe you should stay away from mail-order hairpieces and pre-styled creations. It is preferably best to buy a hairpiece from experts that specialize in manufacturing their own custom-made hair replacement system. Only then will you own a quality, customized product. With a custom-made hairpiece, you’re measured with all the curves and shapes it has to perfect the fit of the hair system, to give it the right fit. With mail order, you get none of those specifications, which means the hairpiece might not “fit like a glove”. The correct hair replacement system is kind of like a good suit. You are measured over all to perfect the fit, so you will look good. You can choose the quality of material by how good you want to look, same goes for hairpieces. You will pay more to look your best, cotton vs. silk as mail order vs. custom-made. The right stylist will give you the correct option in their eyes for the best beneficial result for you, and not only be anxious to see money in the end.

  The steps involved in this is an interview and asking the right questions to decide if a hairpiece is in the right category for you. Asking a client questions about daily life activities will also clarify their wants/needs for the hair replacement system. A hairpiece is not a fountain of youth. Although it does help and take some years off a person’s age, it will not help you look like you did in your twenties. After the interview, the design and measurement are taken into account. Texture and color are also taken into account so that the custom-made hairpiece will look just as natural and blend in with your real hair. Amount of hair is decided on if you need a partial or a full cap hair loss system. Production of hairpiece does usually take 6-8 weeks, but that is only to benefit client into assembling hairpiece to perfection. As soon as hairpiece is completed, client is called in to get cut and styled with hairpiece on for the best look possible. Only then is when your new hair be secured into the right position.

        David Hansen’s sale is not complete until you (the client) is completely satisfied. I look to create a bond between barber and customer. I guarantee that hair replacement systems I create live up to the workmanship and quality of materials agreed upon. If any more questions feel free to ask me, I’m more than willing to give an honest opinion about the matter.

What is your easiest choice? Tape On or Bonding a Hair Piece?

What is your easiest choice? Tape On or Bonding a Hair Piece?

With so many choices out there to choose from, which would be the best hair loss solution for you? With Mother Nature changing its mood every day, you shouldn’t have to struggle with decisions such as that.

Summer is here and people tend to sweat and get hot, so tape would be a great idea. You can still enjoy most of your normal activities with no worries of hair piece falling off. The tape is a two-way adhesive that is strong and hypo-allergenic. The custom made hair piece made for you can be ventilated which lets your scalp “breath” with the option of easily taking the hair replacement system off because it is only taped on, that way your able to clean your scalp when necessary. Depending on how much you sweat or produces oils and number of activities, usage of tape varies. You can use same tape for a couple days to just using it once a day, which again also depends on the person.

                                                           

Bonding is Semi-permanent which means it gets glued on your scalp, in a non surgical method. There are many good and bad things that come with this method. You don’t have to worry about your hair piece coming off in water, or while asleep or worry about process of taping it daily or every other day. The flaw in this is routine visits to hair loss professional and having them remove it and clean it. Not giving breathing room to scalp can cause more damage to hair left over trying to grow, and is also very unsanitary. For some persons leaving hairpiece on without taking off it can cause a bad odor or worse irritate skin and cause open cuts on scalp.

I prefer tape-on because it is simpler and everyone likes the easier way with fewer problems. I can show each individual how to switch tape on hair loss system to make the process faster by the minute and EASIER for each and every individual. Being you have male pattern baldness, or hair loss from a medical condition (alopecia, chemotherapy), research options and choose right hair replacement system for you. Tape on and bonding each have its own pros and cons, but in the end it is always up to you. My choice is a custom made hair replacement system using tape on.

Good Luck & Good Looking

Thank You,

Summer is here, time to look great

With summer here people tend to be more self-conscious about their looks. With that in mind we live in a world where good looks and a good set of healthy hair is beautiful. In the world of hairpieces the same motto applies. Researching options and finding the right solution to give you that self esteem boost will not only improve your attitude but will give you an aura and everybody will be able to sense it. In my profession clients ask me plenty of questions about the right hair loss solution from stress causing male pattern baldness to a medical condition, such as chemotherapy. Where there is a will there is a way, and I can make that way happen.

The best method for you will be chosen with the right research, being surgical or non-surgical. Non-surgical hair replacement is non invasive, so usually is pain free, compared to surgical where “surgery” is needed. Surgical is also not always guaranteed that the balding area will take, it is also expensive, painful and time consuming. Non surgical is the safest way in restoring your natural hair. Although some companies pride in stock pieces with low prices, I, David Hansen, pride myself in the custom made hair pieces that are specifically molded to fit a clients head that are worth the money in the long run.

Having a background and business of well over 50 years, a non surgical hair piece made with my help, would be the most resourceful and most stress free way to go. David Hansen offers the highest quality, undetectable hair system that are custom made for every individual to fit their everyday needs.

Thank you,

What causes hair loss or in their words why am I losing my hair?!

After so many years of hair loss research this question is still widely debated. There is no straight forward answer, and no real cure. There are many factors that go into an individual if its a man or a woman to loses hair. While it is more common for men to lose hair many women also experience hair loss especially as they age. Many experts found a link between the immune-system and  balding, linking to this is also a male hormone DHT. This hormone is believed to attack the hair follicle causing male-pattern baldness resulting in destructive inflammation that slowly destroys the follicle's ability to produce terminal hair.

Another factor possibly related to hair loss is elevated androgens. This triggers an increase in the production of sebum (oil) , this also leads to inflammation. The hair begins to progressively miniaturizes under the fading autoimmune attack, so that with each following growth cycle the hair gets shorter and thinner until it finally turns into peach fuzz.

Male pattern baldness  has multiple contributing factors once the process has began. Some of the things to take in account is damage to blood vessel linings which prevent a growth factor they normally produce. Similarly it has been observed that severe baldness is strongly connected with heart disease and even diabetes. There are likely other factors as well.

Hair Loss Key Words

Human Hair VS. Synthetic Hair for cancer patient hair replacement

There are two basic kinds of fibers used in hair replacement for cancer patients today: human hair and synthetic hair.
"Human hair" can be a misleading term. There are several sources, and quality varies greatly. First quality human hair is European, the most natural looking and feeling. It is rarely machine sewn and is most advantageous when hand tied into a custom hairpiece.
While all European hair is of premium quality, that which is secured from convents is considered superior. Its colors are natural and no chemicals have been added. For this reason, while all hair eventually fades, European is the slowest to do so.
In addition, due to its finer texture, European hair will hold its curl and retain a style longer than any other human hair.
Oriental and Asian hair are also classified as human. In fact, an advertisement claiming that human hair is used, often means it is one of the later two. If it is European, it will say that--so do not be fooled.
The Oriental and Asian fibers almost always require bleaching followed by tinting, thus resulting in quicker fading. Much more difficult to blend in with your own hair, their structure and texture very greatly from that of Caucasians. They are sometimes hand tied into a semi-custom chemo therapy patient piece, but their primary use is in machine-sewn stock cancer patient pieces manufactured in the Orient.
An option to European or other human hair is a synthetic. Synthetics are used almost solely in machine productions. An exception to this rule, however, is grey hair. If gray is required in your cancer hairpiece, chances are a synthetic hair will be used, even if it is a hand-sewn, custom made creation. Not only is long, grey, human hair scarce, it is also the most fragile and the quickest to oxidize.
As a result, a high-quality synthetic is a better investment when gray is needed.
One of the most impressive sources of grey hair is transformed is quite intriguing to watch. The desired amount of goat hair is boiled and processed until it finally turns into beautiful human-looking strands. It is totally undetectable in a custom-made hairpiece, and achieves a much better appearance than any man-made chemotherapy hair loss synthetic hair replacement.
Synthetics, however, are not to be undermined. In machine-made productions their worth is undeniable. Naturally, the best synthetic is a matter of opinion. Some prefer Dynel from Union Carbide, Kanekalon from Japan, Venicelon or Curlon form Italy, or others. While all synthetics have their individual advantages, many of the pros, including David Hansen prefer Elura form Monsanto. In fact, if a client declines the use of goat hair in his cancer patient hair replacement, David's second recommendation for an impressive grey fiber is white Elura. Elura is heat resistant and can take the styling of a hot comb or blow dryer. It is, also said to
be structured closer to real hair than any other fiber. Perhaps this is why it does not have the "silky" or "buttery" feeling of cheaper synthetics. It feels like and performs like and performs like human hair .
Synthetics are quite advantageous if you are an outdoors man. True, they are not as impressive as human hair, but they are resistant to sunburn and fading caused by the elements. Having a synthetic as a second hairpiece will allow a man the freedom to enjoy the outdoors while his custom-made cancer patient hairpiece is safe at home, ready for the office and his indoor social life. If he gets the urge to jump into the pool, his synthetic won't tangle like human hair and it drips dry in just minutes.
Another advantage of synthetics? They are more readily available. Growing a head full of long hair can take a few years, whereas synthetics can be mass produced in a matter of minutes.
In spite of the advances made by manufacturers, however, some human hair shades remain too hard to duplicate with synthetic fibers. In addition, unlike synthetics used for women's wigs, men's synthetics do hot hold a style well. A woman's hair style can be baked into her wig before she receives it, but this is not suitable for man's hairpiece. His style is not finalized until the piece is actually on his head and styled together with his existing hair. The biggest disadvantage of synthetic hair, however, is the color appearance in sunlight. Under day light or bright scrutinization you can often observe a somewhat shiny and tricky color change.
If you deal with a reputable hair replacement stylist, you have no reason to doubt the quality of hair being used in your hair system. However, if you wish to test the authenticity of the hair further, a simple match test will tell the difference between human hair and synthetic hair. Simply cut out one small strand of hair from the hairpiece. A flick of your lighter will tell you if the hair is human or synthetic if you look for these characteristics:
1. As the human hair burns it gives off a pungent odor that is very much like that of burning chicken feathers.
2. Synthetic fibers leave very little odor as they burn. If you rub your finger through the burnt ash, you'll be able to feel tiny hard beads, prevalent even if only small amount of synthetic fibers have been blended with the human hair.
Some say that human hair will be on the way out as soon as synthetics can be perfected. Not so! I believe that if, when you speak of "human hair," they are referring to Oriental or Asian hair, than the possibility does exist, because some synthetics (such as Elura), are already superior. If they are speaking of European hair becoming obsolete, however, they couldn't be further from the truth. European is the best that money can buy . It can never be duplicated, because it is the real thing. As long as there are men who care enough about their appearance to order a custom-made hair replacement, European hair will continue to be sold as Number one.

Cancer patient choosing the right size of a hair replacement system Chicago

Ideally, your first step in a hairpiece should be a partial one--a mini hairpiece that will prevent the first stage of hair loss from becoming noticeable to others. A partial can be just as affective in converting the balding area, and it saves you money, due to its smaller size. In fact, a full hair replacement (average five inches by eight inches) is more than is necessary until the balding process progresses considerably.
There are four basic sizes of partials available:
1.The Temple Piece, used when the hairline begins to receding. It is the smallest partial available, usually only one-half by one inch in size.
2. The Frontal Piece, used when the hairline begins to recede. Placed at the front of the existing hair and averaging two inches by three inches, it seems like such a small adjustment, but the effect is very impressive.
3. The Top(or Slider) System, the most common type of partial sold. It is used on men who, although they are balding on the top, still have enough side hair to create a part in their remaining hair and are able to comb their hair over the small piece underneath. The effect is very natural. Size is based on the extent of baldness.
4. The Crown Piece, used when the back of the crown is balding (often referred to as the doughnut" type of baldness). Here again, size is dependent on the bald area.
The key to success in selecting a partial hair system is individuality. Hundreds of thousands of men go bald, but everyone has his own style. A custom-made (or at least a semi-custom) system will provide a better camouflage than any stock piece ever could.

buying a hair replacement for a cancer patient and individuals with alopecia chicago

You Get What You Pay For
When you are going through cancer treatments or have had alopecia you should think of a hair system as you would a new suit, as something to compliment your appearance. You use it on regular basis and it is a large part of your overall look.
If you visit a tailor to have a suit made, he would take your precise measurements, inquire as to your intended use for the outfit, and then, together, you would select the cloth for the garment. After you left his shop, he would spend hours carefully sewing the suit to meet your specifications.
If the price of a tailored suit were above your means, but you still desired quality, chances are your next choice would be a selection from a reputable men's store. You would have several ready ready-made outfits from which to chose, most of which would be carefully-sewn copies of creations by well-known designers. Of course, the fit wouldn't be as perfect as that of a tailor-made suit, but most of these stores have someone available to make required alterations, enabling you to still be a well-dressed man.
The final alternative available to you would be to settle for a ready-made suit off the rack in some discount house. In most cases an alterations man wouldn't be on hand, so you would have to settle for a suit closest to, but not exactly, your size. More than likely, this would not be a suit in which you would gain extra pride by simply feeling its cloth or by examining its workmanship, but at least it would serve its purpose. Your outfit would be another one of many mass-produced garments that is just a suit, nothing more.
And so it is with hairpieces for cancer patients and individuals with alopecia. They range from the tailor-made exclusives all the way to those that will just get by. If you are concerned enough about your hair loss and appearance to even consider buying a hair replacement, you should ask for one that is the closest to your natural hair as possible, one that will serve you well and be a wise investment.
remember a hair replacement system should be the most personal and individual component of your wardrobe.

Alopecia

The technical term for any hair loss is alopecia. It may appear in a variety of different forms resulting from many conditions, but generally, male pattern baldness alopecia falls into one of three categories:

1.That which is seen develop as a man matures. It may be the result of heredity, an imbalance in the body, or simply the aging process. This is the most common type of balding, and it is permanent.

2.Premature baldness, occurring in males anytime before middle age, due to the fact that hairs shed naturally are replaced by a regrowth or weaker ones. It begins by a slow, thinning process.

3.That resulting from some form of injury to the nervous system, be it caused by anemia, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, or syphilis. It may also be caused by a serious accident or by certain medical treatments. Naturally, these cases are much more infrequent, and the resulting baldness is usually in the form of patches or spots.

It is important not to confuse alopecia or the balding process with the normal shedding of hair intended by nature. As was pointed out in the preceding chapter, when hair grows to its full length, it falls out by itself and is replaced by new hair.
