Hair Loss Treatments For The Brave And The Bold

There are a host of products and methods which extol their prowess in hair loss treatment. Unfortunately, many consumers end up with monetary loss whilst still making no progress to the tops of their heads. Short of gluing down a wig for a dip in the pool or to forge through blustery conditions, one can always paint his scalp black and resemble a billiard ball. Although hair transplant stays put, the physical and financial ouch factors tend to make a mouse out of a man.

Since these are not means which most want to subject themselves to, the obvious is to take a good look at ones medicine cabinet and bathroom products. Taking several types of medications may cause certain interactions manifesting in loss of hair. A quick check with ones doctor should help to sort things out. Shampoos and conditioners meant to produce a bouncy and voluminous head of hair may also be the culprit as some may pose to be too harsh to sensitive or oily scalps, thus hastening loss. Hair styling efforts with an overdose of gels, mousses and sprays also prey on weakened tresses making them brittle. Perhaps it is time to give hair some space to breathe and recoup its strength.

Other forms of hair loss treatment include the ever popular products which tote stringent testing procedures in laboratories followed by user groups before release for public consumption. Although some have shown more significant results than others, there is a need for continual usage to ensure permanent results.

Alternative methods also exist for those who prefer a more lasting effect without the need for a strict regiment of popping pills and subjecting their scalps to sprays, creams and like products. By adhering to the principle of less is more, a tastefully designed hairpiece draws minimal attention to the faux thus putting the wearer at ease. Bravehearts opt for surgical hair transplants which do not grow nor promote growth, setting up permanent residence where once was sparsely inhabited.

Brothers to brave Atlantic Ocean in row for skin cancer research

Two Lymington brothers are preparing to row the Atlantic Ocean in memory of their late father Peter Massey, who sufferer with basal cell carcinoma skin cancer and sadly passed away in 2015 aged 63.

Jude Massey, 17, and Dr Greg Bailey, 26, have launched a campaign to raise £100,000 for the British Skin Foundation – a charity that funds skin cancer research – whilst also raising awareness of the dangers of skin cancer.

The 3,000 mile trip is due to take place in January 2018 and will commence in the Canaries and end in Barbados. “It’s a gruelling trip’” explained Jude, “We’ll be rowing for two hours on and two hours off non-stop both day and night.”

Conditions on the boat will be basic, relying on solar panels to power a water maker for both vital drinking water and fresh water to rehydrate freeze-dried meals. They’ll also have GPS communication, along with radar alerts to avoid collisions with nearby vessels.

Once they have departed they will be at the mercy of the elements with the potential for hurricanes, capsizes, electrical failure, passage of large vessels, large marine life, sea sickness, injury and equipment breakages. Should conditions become unsafe to row, the brothers must deploy their para-anchor, a submersible parachute shaped piece of equipment which will keep the boat pointing into the waves and reduce the likelihood of a capsize as they sit and wait in the watertight cabin.

The challenge will be a good test of both physical and psychological strength. To add some perspective, only 317 crews have successfully crossed the Atlantic, with 153 unsuccessful crews and six crews who died attempting the challenge. Some 536 individuals have been into space and over 5,500 have climbed Mount Everest. The brothers have put their lives on hold to complete the challenge, directing all of their efforts into training and fundraising. The duo, who have never rowed before are aiming to take between four and eight weeks to complete the journey. If they succeed, Jude – a sailing instructor – is likely to become a record holder as the first vegan to complete this journey, shining the spotlight on endurance events for vegans.

Peter, Jude father and Greg’s stepfather, spent 16 years undergoing painful treatment for skin cancer. “There are no words to describe how awful this disease is both for the sufferer and their family” said NHS doctor Greg. “The more awareness we can raise, the better for everyone.”

The brothers will be packing plenty of sunscreen for their trip as they’ll need to be covering themselves from head to toe every day. 

The boys are launching their sponsorship awareness campaign and are seeking support from different companies and organisations. They can be contacted through their website, email (contact@oceanbrothers.co.uk) or telephone (07590 926796). Please follow their Facebook & Twitter pages to keep up to date with their training and latest news.
