The Bald Truth: How We React to Women with Hair Loss 6/18/2015 The bald truth: How we react to women with hair loss | Irish Examiner Outdoor Gardening Walk of the Week Damien Enright Donal Hickey Richard Collins Dick Warner Ents Travel Big Read Weekend Break Deal of the week Your Home Design & Decor Home Help Hot to Shop Antiques & Fine Art Horoscopes Horoscopes Home»Lifestyle»Features The bald truth: How we react to women with hair loss 273 17 5 Thursday, June 18, 2015 Long, luscious hair is considered feminine, so Anthony Griffin photographed sufferers of alopecia — partial or total hair loss — to test our reactions to bald women, says Ellie O’Byrne ABRONZED beauty swishes her hair away from the camera, dazzling the viewer with her abundance of rich, glossy locks. Turning back, she self­assuredly says to the camera: “Because I’m worth it.” The message to women is insidious and double­edged; if you boast a silicon­slicked, preternaturally shiny mane, you are worth it. But the inverse is also true; if you don’t, you aren’t. Alopecia areata causes partial or full loss of hair, and it can devastate women’s confidence and self­worth.

For eight months, Anthony Griffin photographed women who have alopecia. His exhibition, and the resulting book, An Uncommon Beauty, explore public perception of the condition. READ MORE: Bald truth about my hair loss . DISCOVER MORE OF OUR DAILY FEATURES HERE Griffin was interested in the secretiveness of female alopecia. “While researching the project, I heard stories of women whose own husbands had never seen them without their wig. That made me think that I probably know a lot more women without hair than I think I do,” he says. Although public figures, such as UK TV presenter, Gail Porter (right), and Irish model, Amber Jean Rowan, have spoken about their alopecia, it’s rare to see female sufferers bald in public. Twelve Irish women volunteered to be photographed by Griffin, including Paddy Pender, who believes that making the condition more visible will help sufferers. Paddy feels uncomfortable in a wig, and does not wear one unless she’s attending a function. “Losing your hair can feel almost like a bereavement,” Paddy says. She lost her hair very suddenly, in 2011, at the age of 51. “I had some regrowth and when it fell out again, I said, ‘I don’t want to be on a rollercoaster of seasonal regrowth.’ I made a conscious decision that I would not allow it to control me.” Eventually, Paddy lost of all of her body hair, including eyebrows and lashes. This is alopecia universalis. Alopecia universalis has side­effects, such as respiratory tract infections, due to the loss of nasal hair (a first line of defence against inhaled pathogens), as well as discomfort caused by the rubbing of clothing against the skin, poor body temperature regulation, sunburn, and eye conditions (caused by sweat and cosmetics entering browless eyes). For women in western cultures, bald female icons are a defiant rejection of the norms of beauty; from 16th century pirate queen, Gráinne Mhaol (maol is the Irish for bald), who reputedly shaved her head as a girl, so that she could go to sea with her father instead of visiting relatives, to Sinéad O’Connor, to Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road. These women are strong characters. Paddy certainly has character; she’s busy with charity work in Dublin’s inner city and says she never had much time for cosmetics, anyway. “It wasn’t as devastating to me as to someone who wouldn’t go out in the morning without full make­up on. I wouldn’t spend an hour in front of the mirror, anyway, and when I see people who do, I sometimes think, ‘for god’s sake, love, would you ever get a life?’.” Alopecia areata affects equal numbers of men and women, so why did Griffin turn his lens only on female subjects? “We notice them more, because we see them as more unusual. Throughout history, women and hair are deeply linked,” he says. With male pattern baldness affecting 70% of men, it’s true that we are no stranger to bald men. But from Paddy’s involvement with Alopecia Support Ireland, she says men have it tough, too, in part because they are less likely to talk openly about their condition. “I think it may be harder for men to talk about it,” Paddy says. http://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/features/the­bald­truth­how­we­react­to­women­with­hair­loss­337516.html 4/15 6/18/2015 The bald truth: How we react to women with hair loss | Irish Examiner “They just don’t seem to talk about things as easily.” Paddy says it’s best to meet stares head­on and respond openly. She remains upbeat and philosophical about her condition and peoples’ responses to it. “I stare myself, if I see people with purple hair or funny shoes — it’s just something different that catches your eye. If they know me, they’ll talk to me as a person and not focus on the hair at all,” she says. “I am not willing to use my body as a guinea pig for pharmaceuticals when there’s nothing else wrong with me. I’m not that vain that I want to grow hair back at a cost to my other organs,” Paddy says. Other sufferers find it harder to accept their hair loss. Their feelings of femininity, attractiveness and self­worth can suffer. Alopecia Support Ireland, started in 2008 by Liz Shiel, who lives in Athlone, is a good resource for contacting others who are experiencing the same problems.

Having just completed her Junior Cert, in Loretto College, Crumlin, Erica’s condition progressed to alopecia universalis last Christmas. In the age of the selfie, when teenage girls are increasingly image­conscious, how has Erica’s self­confidence been affected? “When I first got alopecia, I felt totally different to everyone else,” she says. “I hated seeing shampoo ads on the telly, and when they came on I’d switch channels. It definitely affects your confidence, when everyone in school is talking about the way they’re going to get their hair done.” But Erica displays remarkable maturity and self­acceptance. Because of her decision to attend school without her wig, she knows who her real friends are, she says: “A lot of people supported me. A couple of the girls that are more interested in people’s appearance gave me sly looks and talked about me; I got called names, but you just have to ignore them and not let them get to you. “I lost a lot of friends, but I gained a lot of friends that I know will actually be there for me.” Erica, who lives with her mother, stepfather and three brothers, has found Alopecia Support Ireland very helpful, and is currently using the ‘buddy system’, the group to help others who have the condition: “I help one girl who’s just losing her hair, at the moment, and we talk on the phone a lot,” Erica says. ‘I hated seeing shampoo ads on the telly and when they came on I’d switch the channels’ http://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/features/the­bald­truth­how­we­react­to­women­with­hair­loss­337516.html 5/15 6/18/2015 The bald truth: How we react to women with hair loss | Irish Examiner Early onset hair loss is less likely to regrow The word alopecia means hair loss, but alopecia areata starts with the loss of small, regular­shaped patches of hair. Dr Billy O’Connor is a consultant dermatologist at the Bons Secours hospital in Cork. “Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, where the body attacks its own hair follicles,” Dr O’Connor says. “If you do a biopsy of the area, you see lots of inflammation cells around each hair follicle, like bees around a beehive. It’s that inflammation that causes the hair to fall.” When alopecia areata affects the entire scalp, it’s known as alopecia totalis. If it progresses to the entire body (in 1­5% of cases), it’s called alopecia universalis. There’s no cure for the condition. Steroid creams or injections can stimulate the hair follicles, but oral steroids are avoided due to their side­effects. “It can be possible to see regrowth in some cases,” Dr O’Connor says. “The chance of regrowth falls significantly in people who get it very early and very extensively.” Up to 2% of the population may be affected by alopecia areata. Genetics plays a role, Dr O’Connor says: “Typically, it might be somebody who has a family history of alopecia areata, thyroid problems or pernicious anaemia, which are all immune conditions.” It’s commonly attributed to stress, but is that a factor? “Stress doesn’t cause it but it can certainly contribute to it being more active and being slower to respond to treatment,” Dr O’Connor says.

  • Laser Hair Removal: Everything You Need to Know
    Laser Hair Removal: Everything You Need to Know B Y : D A V I D W A R N E Abstract Laser hair removal is a long-lasting form of hair removal that damages or destroys the hair follicle. However, the hair may regrow, particularly if the follicle is damaged and not destroyed during the laser hair removal procedure. For this reason, many doctors now refer to laser hair removal as long-term hair removal rather than permanent hair removal. Read on to learn about how laser hair removal works in Melbourne, how long it lasts, the costs of laser hair removal procedures and many other things about laser hair removal. 1. Introduction Unwanted facial and body hair can affect the way we feel, our social interactions, what we wear and what we do. Options to camouflage or remove unwanted hair include plucking, shaving, bleaching, using creams and epilation (using a device that pulls out multiple hairs at once). Longer-term options include electrolysis, which uses an electrical current to destroy individual hair follicles, and laser therapy. Read the entire guide carefully and learn about some important things regarding laser hair therapy. 2. About Laser Hair Removal So what is laser therapy? What can it achieve? And what are the side-effects? How does laser treatment work? Lasers emit a wavelength of light with a specific single colour. When targeted to the skin, the energy from the light is transferred to the skin and hair pigment melanin. This heats up and damages the surrounding tissue. But to remove hair permanently and to minimise damage to the surrounding tissue, the laser needs to be targeted to specific cells.

Therefore, I would like to express my sincere and deepest gratitude to Dr. Scodari for her expert guidance and support throughout my research. I am forever grateful for her patience and encouragement, and for always being available. I also would like to thank Dr. Munson and Dr. Blattner for serving on my committee. Thank you for believing in me and encouraging me all these years. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, my sisters, my nieces and my nephew, my grandmother, my uncle, and my dear friends for their love and support. I love you. iv ABSTRACT Author: Céline Guillerm Title: A Feminist Cultural Study of Identity, Hair Loss, and Chemotherapy Institution: Florida Atlantic University Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Christine Scodari Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Year: 2015 The main aim of this dissertation is to discuss the way women negotiate the cultural meaning of hair loss, alopecia, as a result of undergoing chemotherapy, and to understand, accordingly, how cancer’s cultural effects regarding women can be deeply different from those of men.

What's the difference between a beehive, a bouffant and a tease?? ----------- Tor and I were finishing up rehearsal the other night and he asked me. “So Sylv, he pulled out a Helen Shapiro CD, is this hairdo a beehive?” I told him no I think it’s a bouffant. A beehive would be more of a solid updo. The next week he said, “Thank you there is an internet forum for girl groups that I am on. They were calling her hairdo a beehive. I told them that I had heard it was a bouffant. I corrected them and they were very appreciative.” Then I started to doubt myself. I wondered if I am really right. I mean, I know what hair styles I like and what I call them when I am around my girlfriends, but what is the official name? So I thought I would go online and see what I could find. The internet was no help. All the pictures I found were confusing and calling the same hair style two different names.

    Thinking Of Laser Hair Removal?
