Famous Hairlines / Hair Restoration

Some Hairlines Are Headlines
Celebrity hairlines have become a hot topic in recent years.



When Sir Elton John had his hairline restored the tabloids read; “Tonsorial Wizard Grows Hair on Rocket Mans Pin Ball”. Elton is perhaps the most famous hair restoration/transplant recipients. He underwent a series of replacement procedures after becoming fed-up with years of wearing toupees and wigs. 

Hollywood heartthrob Mel Gibson had his thinning and receding hairline restored. Today he is the proud owner of a full head of hair and natural-looking hairline. While Mel has not publicly admitted to having had a hair replacement procedure and is not the first celebrity to undergo this hush-hush-procedure. Kevin Costner known for his movie-star good looks has always had a thin head of hair. Not liking the way his thinning crown looked on film and spending thousands of dollars having it “digitally added” in the editing room Kevin is said to have been considering a hair restoration procedure. 

Jokes about hair loss are as old as dirt, but not as old as rocks. Two famous comedians, Tom Arnold, and Dennis Miller are the first to tell you they’ve had this done and that it was an enjoyable “hair-razing experience”. Both look much younger with thicker hair and a natural-looking hairline.

Known for their handsome boyish good looks Mathew McConaughey showed early signs of hair loss. He spent thousands of dollars on hair loss treatments to slow the process. Mathew finally settles for the real deal with a "hair replacement procedure” and his hairline looks totally natural even up close.

Movie Stars John Travolta and John Cleese filled in there fading hairline for a youthful-looking hairstyle and you can also. Recent medical breakthroughs and artistic procedures and lower costs have made what was once an expensive procedure affordable for anyone. 

Hair Restoration is not just reserved for film and television stars. Having had a hair restoration procedure myself I can tell you first hand it was painless and well worth the expense. Hair restoration is a simple outpatient procedure that involves donor hair follicles taken from the back and side of the head, where the hair is thickest and resistant to hair loss. These follicles are inserted seamlessly into the thinning spots for a totally natural-looking hairline even up close. And best of all its permanent. 

With today’s modern hair restoration technology, it's now possible to do something about both male and female hair loss. My procedure was done in Beverly Hills, California by the world's foremost hair restoration specialist, Dr. Michael Elliott. To learn more about his artistic procedure visit Dr. Elliott's web site awww.pacifichairinstitute.com and tell him I recommended you.

CBD / What's it all about?

CBD Hemp Oil / What's it all about?

Information here from an article in Men’s Journal by Gordy Megroz

CBD is an acronym. It stands for cannabidiol, a chemical compound that can be extracted from Marijuana and Hemp plants, two kinds of Cannabis.

WILL IT GET YOU HIGH?

No. Unlike Marijuana CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in Hemp Cannabis and is said to cure just about anything, from pain to depression to insomnia. CBD is being added to just about everything now: tinctures, salves, lip balms, toothpicks, skin creams, lotions and yes Shampoos and Conditioners. Last year, CBD sales in the U.S. surpassed $600 million. And is estimated by 2022 will hit 20 billion.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

How it interacts with the human brain and body is a bit of a mystery. One theory is that CBD increases the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that influences a host of human functions including mood, appetite, and pain. Another possibility is that CBD helps regulate inflammation, a culprit in hundreds of diseases. Whatever the mechanism, CBD does seem to help relieve certain ailments.

WHY IS IT SHOWING UP EVERYWHERE?

Until 2018 Cannabis, along with heroin and other drugs was illegal to produce use or sell. But last December, President Trump signed a bill legalizing industrial Hemp farming. The new law allowed for the nationwide sale of CBD extracted from Hemp, as long as it contained less than 0.3 percent THC. As a result, within months, CBD products appeared on shelves in CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Nordstrom and GNC, as well as on hundreds of online retailers. Even Carl’s Jr., the fast-food chain, sold a CBD-infused burger. And celebrity endorsements have made CBD infused cosmetic wildly popular.

IS CBD SAFE?

Good question. Because cannabis was banned for so long, CBD extract hasn’t undergone enough testing to know if taking it regularly might be good for you or bad. “There is no data on toxicity when ingested over a long period of time,” says Danial Piomelli, director of the University of California Irvine for the study of Cannabis. 

Studies show that it takes between 600 milligrams to a gram of CBD to have any biological effect. Beauty aids applied in a cream, lotion or oil has been shown to be helpful in relieving sore muscles and skin conditions when used daily. Another concern is quality control. Hemp farmers often use pesticides. Colorado is one of a few states with firm quality-control guidelines. (If you do buy CBD products, look for the label from the Hemp Authority showing that it complies with strict guidelines.) 

WHAT’S NEXT FOR CBD?

Much of the CBD hype is based entirely on anecdotes – people say it helps to overcome insomnia, clearing up their acne, and even managing their pain. None of this is rooted in science yet, but you’ll have a hard time convincing people otherwise.

Nearly 100 clinical trials are currently underway, including an in-depth look at how CBD affects pain control when applied topically and ingested. The FDA is considering whether to approve CBD as a dietary supplement and food additive. And because of the money to be made with CBD many pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturers have the motivation to do favorable research.

Rod Stewart / Sexy Rock Star Hair Style

Drawing inspiration from the hair style of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national past time. One such star whose hair style has been emulated by men around the globe is world class rock star.
Rod Stewart. His tousled spiky bleached blonde style set the trend for men's hair styles throughout the 80’s and is just as popular today. Rod’s sexy spiky hair color/style and rock star persona is irresistible to girls attracted to the wild side and quite the catch for those that go for the sensitive, creative types.

TO GET THE LOOK: If you’re looking for a sexy rocker hair style take a styling lesson from Rod Stewart. With years of practice Rod knows just what it takes to standout from the crowd. His rock solid style is loaded with “sex appeal” and guarantied to stop the ladies dead in their tracks. If you’re up for a rock star hair style, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a style cut and shaping.

LET’S SHAPE IT: To get the look, start with a semi-spiky contoured silhouette with tapered hair stylishly over the ears and collar with a few “love locks” across the forehead to fill in the blank spots. With a few adjustments (tweaks) as it grows your stylist can easily find the ideal length and shape for your style.

LET’S STYLE IT: To jump start the style a dab of Hair Flex shaping gel or Gel Mousse adds style support and thickens to thin hair. Just run either through damp hair and comb in place to dry au natural, or give it a quick once over with a blow dryer and styling brush for a full tousled look. To turn on the sexy appeal, when dry, add the spiky or textured look with Hair Flex Special Effects Styling Spray or finger comb a dab of gel-mousse through the top and you’ve got the look. 

NOW LET’S COLOR IT: Entertainer’s and actors change their hair color often for the many roles they play so coloring it is no big deal. If you have light or medium brown hair that's gray around the edge like Rod’s a golden blond “high-lift tint” will put the gray hair stylishly under cover. After, a few strands are bleached and highlighted with a foil weaving or cap technique for a contrasting au natural sun kissed effect. 

The blond color will also make large facial features appear smaller and give thin and thinning hair an overall thicker look and style support. To keep it up the new growth is re-colored every six-eight weeks. This bit of hair color magic requires a trip to a “salon hair colorist” and will set you back a few extra bucks but is well worth the time and expense for a sexy-stylish look and all the attention you’ll get.

This road tested rock star style is loaded with sex appeal and comes with all the bell and whistles to stop women dead in their tracks. The tousled spiky contoured shape with a few love locks dancing across your forehead covers the hair line and fills in the blank spots. Your sun kissed color adds a youthful look and texture tousled style lets everyone know you’re a stylish dude. So be prepared to take email addresses and cell phone numbers when you show up with Rod Stewart’s sexy rock star style.

David Bowie / Star Hair Style

The world of popular culture is often guilty of overusing the word ‘icon’ - but when it comes to David Bowie, no other word seems fitting. Performer, musician, artist, fashion maverick and cultural spearhead, Bowie was as revolutionary as they came. 

Bowie free spirit and daring wardrobe was integral to his ‘outsider’ persona, and Bowie’s hair was no exception. David Bowie’s hairstyles changed almost as much as his alter egos. Always a trend setter here are two of his classic short styles that have stood the test of time.

Perhaps one of Bowie’s most gentle-looking hairstyles, this slicked back full and parted ‘do is oh-so-soft and works well with the natural subtle wave of his hair. It also accentuates the star’s infamous high cheekbones and strong jaw line, exposing the delicate features of his face. 

If you're looking for a new trendy hair style take a styling lesson from David Bowie. To get the look, hair is cut short and close through the sides with tapered neckline and side part while the crown is cut and shaped to stand up for a full look. For a spiky textured effect, towel or blow dry and apply styling spray wax or firm hold styling gel to dry hair. For a maximum effect add hair color and makeup for David Bowie's rock star look.
