3 causes of hair loss you need to know before you seek for Oregon Hair Restoration

Hair loss can be a serious concern for some men and women during adulthood. It is detrimental to self-confidence. It poses concerns for grooming. Why not? Isn’t hair one’s crowning glory? Isn’t hair the first thing you’d notice in a person whether he/she is fully groomed or not? Hair is too important that those who are stricken by this plight even turn to surgeries for hair restoration as their last resort.

A thin volume of hair was never my problem. I always had more than enough hair to fix. I remembered a gay hair dresser commented about my hair before saying that my hair has good volume, perfect for rebonding. But when I landed a very tedious job, stopped doing regular exercise and started relying on hair rebonding for a long shiny hair, things changed dramatically.

To restore the thickness of my hair is my number one goal right now. It urged me to observe the behavior of my hair and what causes rapid hair loss.

Here are the top 3 reasons of my hair loss:

1. Genes – the thinness of hair can be genetics. If you are having problem with baldness, see if your maternal ancestors are bald, if they are, then you are very likely to lose your hair. However, in some instances, you can also directly inherit the baldness of your dad. In my case, my dad is bald and my mom is getting thin hair while growing old. I’m afraid it’s very unlikely for me to escape.

2. Medical and/or Beauty Treatment- certain medications such as drugs used for depression, arthritis and heart problems, or treatments like chemotherapy, may cause hair loss. However, successive beauty treatment for hair such as rebonding and straightening can also damage your hair.

3. Damaged hair follicle – inflaming and scarring of hair follicle cause by Lupus erythematosus or lichen planus, both skin conditions, can cause permanent hair loss.

If any of these causes your hair loss, you can seek for natural remedy to avoid further hair loss. Medical or Beauty Treatment or Damaged hair follicle can be avoided and fixed easily. There are plenty of suggested ways to help you regain good volume that are available online. However, if the reason is genetics, there is little you can do to prevent it. If none of the recommended preventions saves you from losing hair, then you might want to consider hair restoration through surgery. Oregon Hair Restoration performs effectively in restoring your hair with the highest level of personalized service and care.

Remember, a healthy and sufficient volume of hair is a factor for a more confident individual.

A double Bridal Shower Party!

A double wedding in a month among best friends rarely happens. But it is happening for me and friend Daisy. A few days after I got engaged in December 2009, I told my very few close friends about it. It turned out, that Diasy and her man have planned their wedding on the same month that I and my beau had in mind - December 2010.

Thus, last week, before I flew back to my home country where we'll have my wedding, I and and my friend decided to have a double shower party. But things were so hectic at work as well as with each of our personal iteneraries that we barely had time to plan for the shower party thouroghly. Daisy was busy prepping for her wedding which was on Saturday, Dec. 11, while I was busy securing all the stuff I'd need for my flight and my own wedding.

Before I went to the party venue, we grabbed some burgers at KFC. Another reason to call it an offbeat bridal shower!

As it turned out, the shower party was very offbeat. We were glad that a co-teacher, Miss Ewadi, took charged for the planning of the brides' night. Another thing that made our bridal shower offbeat was that we weren't all girls. ;)

P.S.
I'm not able to visit everyone's blog right now. I'm very busy. I'll make up when my wedding is done. Have a wonderful week everyone :)

6 Easy Steps to Coordinate a Group Gift for the Boss

Coordinating a group gift for your boss to is easy. All you have to do is follow these simple steps: Form a group, assign a leader, collect gift ideas, decide on what gift to buy and the budget, buy the gift, and add a greeting card.

The boss is the ‘leader’ of the workplace and is often the busiest on the work team. He organizes and manages practically everything in the work place, from employees to work jobs. That is why he also deserves some appreciation for a job well done. The best time to show him that is on his birthday. A small group gift can already make your boss smile when he sees how well his team planned this little surprise.

Step 1: Form a group

Days before the boss’ birthday, share others in the work place your group gift ideas. Ask co-workers who are willing to participate and contribute to the plan. Gather as many group members as possible but never force anybody to join the group. More group members help lessen individual contributions.

Step 2: Assign a leader

After the group has been created, assign a group leader. Usually, the one who initiated the plan automatically takes over because he knows how to make the idea a successful one. The leader may have to assign certain people to act as a group treasurer to collect funds, another to buy the gift, and someone to take care of the packaging or wrapping.

Step 3: Collect gift ideas

Gather information about your boss’ interests. Ask his secretary or a co-worker who talks to him a lot and find out little things about him like his favorite sport or dish perhaps. Gather everything that the group has collected.

Step 4: Decide on what gift to buy and the amount

List your boss’ interests. Open these up to the group members and entertain their opinions and suggestions. Select one or two things on the list that you think your boss will love. Once the group has decided on what gift to buy, figure out how much it will cost. The budget should include the gift itself, gift wrappers, and a greeting card. Just make sure that the budget is reasonable enough so that all members can contribute without compromising their own personal savings or expenses.

Step 5: buy the gift

Once the gift is agreed upon and the budget is settled, the leader will assign someone who’s willing to look and buy the gift that is within the budget. Re-distribute equally to fellow colleagues excess money if there is any.

Step 6: Add a greeting card

A gift is never complete without a greeting card. Let everybody in the group write their personal greetings and wishes to your boss. Make sure that you don’t miss anyone.

Once your boss receives the gift he will appreciate it. But most of all, he will be proud of the group’s teamwork and professionalism.
