Menthol Cream

18:27 BTC 0 Comments

Did you know that the topical application of menthol in cream soothes and cools the skin. It is thought that, when applied to the skin, menthol dilates blood vessels and selectively stimulates sensory nerve endings for cold, to produce a sensation of coldness, which is followed by an analgesic effect.

 The cream is easy to apply by simply massaging the cream gently onto the affected are of the scalp; leave for 5 minutes or as directed by your trichologist then remove the menthol shampoo.

For more information regarding the menthol cream, please visit http://www.birminghamtrichologycentre.co.uk/trichological-products/trichological-products-cream-menthol

Wigs For Men, Women and Children.

17:48 BTC 0 Comments

What is a wig?

A wig is made from either human hair or synthetic fibre or a combination of both, attached to a net or polyurethane/latex foundation and covers the entire scalp from forehead to nape and from ear to ear. It can be constructed in many ways such as ready-made wefted or machine hand tied (off-the-peg), or made to measure and knotted (bespoke).
Bespoke wigs are generally made with human hair of European origin, with ready-made wigs of human hair being of oriental origin.  Within the ready-made wigs there can be a combination of human hair and fibre (synthetic) and it is not uncommon to have white fibre added to a human hair wig to give the appearance of a natural greying.

Keep thinning hair at bay!

20:00 BTC 0 Comments

Yesterday we posted about thinning hair and how to treat it, well today we have a little more on the products suggested! 

Phytax, Vitex, Trichogenesis or Minoxidil lotions are a treatments not a cure and if they do work, then you will be on them until you decide otherwise. These treatments have to be used regularly if you do not undertake a regular regime then you would be wasting your time and money. Whichever treatment you decide to use there is only a third of the population that will notice hair growth and you will need to apply daily for 12 months before you know if the treatment was successful. So why not try these treatments to slow down the rate of hair loss or even stimulate hair growth.

Alongside these topical treatments it is advisable to use products that will complement and not counteract the effects of the treatment such as menthol shampoo, menthol lotion, or astringents. For further information please visit our website www.birminghamtrichology.co.uk
If you have any quires please do not hesitate to contact us via the website on hair problems, recommended products or shipping abroad!

Thinning on top?

20:35 BTC 0 Comments

Do you suffer with thinning hair over the Crown region - male or female pattern Hair loss?

This condition is known as androgenic hair loss and affects equally as many women mean as men and how do you know if you have androgenic hair loss?

Place the heel of your hand on your front hairline with your fingers towards the Crown, if this area of your hair is thinning, then you suffer from androgenic changes. These changes can occur from puberty and adolescents and through the menopause.


The changes within the hair follicle are slow as each hair is naturally shed daily, when the new hair starts to emerge from the hair follicle, it grows finer and has a shorter growing period.  This is repeated many times and eventually the hair follicle dies. While thinning hair is in this transitional phase it is advisable to commence with a topical treatment. These topical treatments can be found on our website: www.birminghamtrichologycentre.co.uk
