What are hair systems?
A
hair system is nothing other than a toupee. A
hair system is a semi-permanent solution for covering bald spots. The hairpiece or hair system is attached using a special adhesive. However, the adhesive does not last forever and the hairdresser needs to reapply the hair system from time to time. In most cases, such a hair system is made of natural hair, so care is just as important as for real hair. It is therefore recommended to wash the hair with lukewarm water as soon as it is dirty or greasy. The cost of such a hair system varies between 300 and 1500 euros. For Richie himself, a
hair system would never have been an option due to the intensive care required and the fact that he would be wearing a foreign object. This is why he opted for
a hair transplant .
Nutrition and hair transplantation
Recovery is particularly important after a hair transplant. It is recommended that you avoid
exercise for at least four weeks after a hair transplant to allow your body to regenerate. Four weeks after his hair transplant, Richie started light strength training again and after just eight weeks he was able to resume his usual training program.
Nutrition plays a major role, especially for athletes. Strictly speaking, nutrition in competitive sports accounts for around 50%, 30% of which is exercise and 20% is the recovery phase. Even after a hair transplant, it is important to eat a balanced and healthy diet. To counteract
hair loss in the long term, you need the right diet, avoid stress, and take proper care of your hair. Even if diet is not always the main cause of hair loss, an unhealthy diet can certainly be the cause of the illness or malfunction of the organism that ultimately leads to hair loss. In Richie's case, taking
supplements is essential. Athletes in particular need to ensure their bodies are adequately supplied with vitamins and minerals due to their high energy expenditure. A mineral deficiency can, among many other symptoms, lead to hair loss, even with normal energy expenditure, as hair production requires a wide range of different minerals and trace elements. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iodine are recommended to support hair growth. Iron is also important for healthy hair growth. Iron deficiency causes hair to become dull, brittle, and break off.
Hair care and hair transplantation
When it comes to proper hair care, Richie has made some changes to his daily routine after the hair transplant. He relies on high-quality shampoos without silicones and perfumes. A high biotin content is important, as the biotin content in shampoos ensures the necessary strengthening of the hair. Various hair oils offer additional care.
For example, we use black cumin oil or pumpkin seed oil, they stimulate the metabolism and help dry scalp
in contrast to.
PRP treatment after a hair transplant
PRP treatment is recommended for hair transplant follow-up. This ensures regeneration, rapid recovery after a hair transplant, and revitalization of the hair follicle, serving as a stabilizer for healthy
hair growth . The cost of subsequent PRP treatments is approximately €1,000 and includes six treatment sessions. For home care, the cost is approximately €30 per month, depending on the product. Price isn't necessarily the deciding factor, as there are already very good products available in a lower price segment. Especially among athletes in the fitness sector, and particularly in bodybuilding circles, it is often said that
hair loss is due to the use of hormones. Basically, you have to know that there are many different types of hair loss. The most common form is androgenetic alopecia. This type of hair loss is hereditary and controlled by hormones. Hair loss is caused by the biologically active metabolite of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In people who suffer from
hereditary hair loss, the body's own testosterone levels have little influence on the extent of hair loss. However, if the affected person also takes steroids, hair loss progresses more quickly. The immensely high testosterone level ensures that more DHT is produced. This, in turn, accelerates the progression of androgenetic alopecia many times over. In summary, there are several options for preventing hair loss. However, anyone who decides to undergo a hair transplant should always do their research beforehand.
