As a result of my medical problems and my having to relocate to another town I was very depressed and stressed out. I started to loose my hair uncontrollably. My doctors were not able to solve my hair loss problems, so I accepted that I would never regain my hair.

The amount of lotions and potions was the only thing I could turn to, so whatever I was given by my dermatologist as well as the advice from any body who claimed to have a hair restorer I tried

Well let me tell you all I had to show was failure and more depression.

Eventually I gave up and lived with my non existent hair. I was told to contact Lucille by one of my friends and made an appointment to see her. She was very sympathetic to my problem and recommended that I start using the Wonder Hair Treatment Program. As you can see my problem was not one that one could hide. Hair is such a visible part of one's appearance.

I must admit I really did not think that this would help,but I tried it any way. Lucille's sincerity had been something that had impressed me and I knew she would not go to all the trouble of meeting with me if she did not truly believe that in time she could help.

She told me not to expect miracles as I had had no hair for so long.

She told me to persevere and believe that anything was possible and not to be over anxious.

Well as you can see the first results showed improvement in three months.

After six months my hair is now really thickening up and growing in length.

I will keep sending you updated as to my progress.

Lots of luck

Diffuse Hair Loss

Telogen Effluviumel

Telogen is the name for the dormant stage of the hair growth cycle. It is normal for old hairs to be shed during this phase or shortly afterwards in association with hair regrowth. Normally only about 10-15% of the scalp hairs are in this resting phase at any given time. Accordingly, the natural daily shedding of up to 100-150 hairs is often not of major consequence and is usually given little attention. A Telogen Effluviumeloccurs when a proportionately larger number of hairs synchronously enter telogen and are shed in large numbers. Individuals are often quite aware of an abrupt increase in hair shedding but may not notice less hair on their heads until a significant amount of hair has already been lost.

A considerable number of different causes for Telogen Effluviumel exist. Among the common causes are high fevers, major illnesses, an underactive thyroid gland, stopping birth control pills, giving birth, crash dieting, general anesthesia, and a variety of drugs.

Typically, abrupt diffuse hair loss is noticed several weeks to several months after the incident has initiated the biologic program for hair loss. While the most often noticed hair loss occurs on the scalp, some individuals may also notice hair loss elsewhere on the body. Significant hair shedding usually occurs when shampooing, combing, or even when gently manipulating the hair. Shedding usually slowly decreases over several months once the cause for the hair loss is no longer present. As some of the causes represent ongoing problems, it is important to determine the likely cause when possible and take appropriate measures to prevent continued stimulus for further hair loss.

Consequently it is important that an individual consult with his or her personal physician as soon as the hair loss is detected.

Typically, the condition of Telogen Effluviumel is a likely possibility when acute diffuse hair shedding occurs in the absence of other associated clinical findings. During the active shedding phase of this problem, many hairs are loose and are often found clogging the shower drain after shampooing, accumulating on combs and brushes, and even falling out when gently running fingers through the hair or lightly pulling on the hair. These shed or loose hairs all have club-shaped "roots" typical of resting, telogen hairs and may be easily identified under the microscope.

After shampooing, the bulk of existing loose hair has often been shed and loose hair may not again appear until additional hairs enter this resting phase. As shedding resolves, hair looseness may no longer be a prominent finding. Depending upon how much hair has been lost, scalp hair density may or may not be recognized to be significantly reduced. A general sense of scalp hair density may be appreciated from the width of the hair part-line. Normal hair density produces a relatively tight, narrow part while decreased density results in a relatively widened part.

When there is any doubt about the presence of this condition, a small piece of skin may be taken from the scalp as a biopsy to be examined under the microscope. In this way, the condition of the hair follicles, the tissues that produce the hair, may be determined.

It is important that an individual be examined by his or her personal physician if a Telogen Effluviumel occurs, so as to determine whether a medical problem has caused it as well as to determine the appropriate course of action.
