The History of Royal Wedding Hairstyles

In the past few days, I’ve realized that I’ve been more than inundated with a constant barrage of Royal Wedding information. From Matt Lauer discussing it on the Today show, to rumors of Americans holding 2 am parties to watch the Royal nuptials… I’ve heard nothing on the news and talkshows but they royal wedding.

One of the hottest topics of conversation revolved around the hairstyles of the event. What would Kate Middleton do? Would she have an up-do? Would she go long and down? It got me thinking about the various royal wedding hairstyles of the past. Here are a few of my favorites.

Henry the 8th Royal Wedding Hairstyles

Henry the 8th had a number of wives… and even had a few of them beheaded. The Church of England was started because the Catholic Church would not grant him a divorce. Whether or not these hairstyles played into his desire for a divorce was never truly proved.

Princess Fergie Wedding Royal Hairstyle

Sarah Ferguson has become somehwhat of a pop culture item in previous years, but in the 1980’s she was the beautiful Dutchess of York. While somewhat dated, her Royal Wedding Hairstyle still holds up, at least in terms of beauty relative to time period.

Princess Di Hair Wedding

Princess Diana was known throughout the entire world for both her beauty and her grace. And while she really came into her own, and was known for her always fashionable and contemporary hairstyles, it was her hair and dress during her wedding to Prince Charles that captivated the worlds attention. Much like the recent wedding of her son, Prince William.

Camilla Royal Hairstyle

After the untimely and unfortunate passing of Princess Di, Prince Charles was rewed to Camilla Parker Boyles. Her hair style for this nuptial, along with what was referred to at the time as a “mutant birds nest gone terribly awry” (ok, so I just made that up) marks as one of the most notable, and photographed, wedding hairstyles and hats of all time.

Prince William Bald Engagement Photo

Prince William married Kate Middleton just this morning. And while it is noted that he has not fully lost his hair, one thing will be certain: as the years pass, and Prince William’s hairline moves further and further north, his future pictures will often be compared (unfavorably) to his wedding photo. Lets hope that future pictures don’t look like this…

Prince William, let us help you help your hair!

When Prince Charles married Princess Diana, it was a spectacle for the ages. I was only about 5 when it happened, but I can still recall the impact that it had on the culture. Fast forward 30 years, and now we have the marriage of their oldest child, the heir inherent to the thrown, marrying his long time love in a ceremony that it sure to capture the attention of the world. There will be reporters and flashing bulbs and video cameras from all corners of the world that will be there to record every moment of the event and broadcast it to the world.

I thought for a moment about what it would be like to be in that situation and something jumped out at me like a sudden jolting fear. How embarrassing this would be I were under the world’s collective microscope and I was suffering from obvious hair loss. This is the case with Prince Harry. The world has watched him grow from precious young boy, to attractive young man to now a prince with a very obvious receding hair loss. I recalled every photograph that I ever took where my primary worry was how my hair, or lack thereof, would appear in the photograph. I felt an immense swell of sorrow for Prince William. I can only imagine that on what is supposed to be one of the happiest days of his life, at least some of his attention will be on his hairline.

I’m here to tell Prince William, and anyone else who might be listening, that you don’t have to suffer from hair loss. Prince William, we at the Hair Loss Control Clinic are here to help. And for your Royal Highness, we’re willing to do it for free. That’s right, as an upcoming nuptial gift we’re willing to offer you the full suite of our services.

Is Baldness A Stem-Cell Issue?

Normally I don’t post other author’s material here on my blog, but this was passed on to me this morning and I thought it was worth a look by my fellow hair loss sufferers. From CNN.com (link)

If you’re a guy who’s lost a lot of hair, there may be hope in getting it back, via stem cells.
New research in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that male-pattern baldness may result from stem cells in the scalp failing to give rise to progenitor cells, which are responsible for growing hair.
That means that a potential treatment could make use of stem cells to grow new hair, researchers say.
“Even in a bald scalp, there are stem cells there that you could activate to get new hair,” said Dr. George Cotsarelis, chair of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and lead study author.
Hair follicles normally go through a period during which the hair can become several feet long. In baldness, that period decreases dramatically.
In a man who has a bald area on the scalp, there are still follicles present, but they are essentially microscopic – making hairs that are not even visible.
Cotsarelis and colleagues found that bald areas of men’s scalps had a normal amount of stem cells, but were deficient in progenitor cells, which generate hair.
The study suggests that if scientists can figure out the signals involved in getting stem cells to produce a hair, and focus on the process of stem cells leading to progenitor cells, they may be able to come up with a re-growth treatment.
Keep in mind, however, that this study was done only in men. Women can also experience hair loss, but the stem cell phenomenon has not been studied in this detail with the female scalp yet.
This is the latest development toward an understanding of baldness, but not the only recent one.

Who is Jim Toth and why isn’t he bald?

Going through Google Hot Trends each morning, as I’m prone to do, I saw a name at the very top of search trends that I’d not heard before. His name is Jim Toth, he is a Hollywood agent and he is now apparently engaged to Reese Witherspoon.

I had clicked on his name simply because I was curious as to who this person was that was apparently capturing the interest of internet searchers throughout the world. Once I found out who he was, I wanted to see what he looked like. I figured it was worth a gander to see a pic of the man that captured the love of America’s Sweetheart.

As I began to peruse the various pictures of him and Ms. Witherspoon, I happened to notice a recurring theme. In nearly every photo that I saw, Jim Toth was wearing a ballcap. Being a balding man in my 30’s myself, I thought that this was a giant red flag. Anytime I see a man who is A.) older than 17 years old and B.) not a professional ballplayer who is wearing a cap I see a giant flashing light saying “He’s Bald!!!”

For a brief shinning moment, I had hope that a fellow hair loss sufferer was able to get past his balding affliction and still manage to make one of the world most beautiful women. I was hoping that an image of him without his hat might look like this.

Jim Toth Reese Witherspoon Fiance Engaged

In a perfect world, Jim Toth would be going bald just like me.

But as it turns out, that is not the case. Fortunately for Mr. Toth, he enjoys a full head of hair. He also has the love of an amazingly talented woman who is exceptionally beautiful. For him, it would seem to be a charmed life.

For the rest of us, at least we have the Hair Loss Control Clinic. Giving us our hair back so that maybe someday we can end up with a Reese Witherspoon of our own!

Hair Restoration and Vitamin Supplements? Oh and Tom Brady’s going bald too?

So one of our esteemed Certified Hair Loss Specialists just came running into my office. She was talking about what she noticed on Yahoo! trends. She mentioned that she saw “Hair Restoration”, “Vitamin Supplements” and Tom Brady’s hair loss on Yahoo.

tom brady bald hair restoration multi-vitamin

Is that why he grows his hair out?

She made a great point. All three things… well maybe not Tom Brady. Ok, so 2 of these things are very relevant to our site. Hair Restoration and Vitamin Supplements actually apply to two of our most famous and successful products.

HLCC Scripts Complete is our multi-vitamin that certainly assists with hair restoration. We don’t actually call it a multi-vitamin per-say, but it is an herbal supplement that assists with hair loss, perhaps even Tom Brady’s. HLCC Scripts complete is a daily supplement that contains over 11 DHT inhibitors. In addition, it contains hair loss fighting ingredients such as the valuted Saw Palmetto and a viviscal-like marine ingredients. All of which have been proven in countless medical studies to help inhibit DHT which is a known leading cause of hair loss.

And if Tom Brady (or anyone) is allergic to either Zinc or Shellfish, we also offer HLCC AA Plus, which is an all natural alternative to Complete. This multi-vitamin is one of our most popular hair restoration products and

What if these celebrites were bald?

Have you ever thought “I wonder if he’s really bald?” I have too. I think that we all have in fact. Now, I must be very clear that I have no knowledge that anyone included in this post is bald. In fact, I don’t even have any real reason to speculate. For all we know these fine actors have enjoyed a lovely life replete with a full head of luxurious and wonderful hair. We have every reason to believe that is the truth and no reason to believe otherwise.

But what if? What if this weren’t the case. What if, in a pretend land of make believe, we could see that each of these Hollywood Celebrities would look like if they suffered the same loss of hair that we do. And they were unable to do anything about it because of their exhaustive resources and unlimited money? What then would they look like? We’ll… lets all pretend together and see what the truth could bring. Without further adieu, I present the best of the not-really-bald-celebrities!

I guess the 'windswept' hair-do got old.

Why get extensions when you can just grow your own?

I’m looking through the hottest trending topics on the internet (as I’m prone to do on Monday Mornings) to see what the world is searching for. I’ve noticed that Jessica Simpson is very hot this morning. (No pun intended). In addition to her music career, storied love life and Macy’s promotions, she’s also behind a new line of custom hair extensions. This begs the question; why would one pay for extensions when you can simply grow your own hair?

Now, you might be saying to yourself “Hey AJ, I can’t grow the type of hair that I’d like to.” Perhaps you suffer from alopecia, perhaps you just have fine and lifeless hair. Our services aren’t just for those who are going through hair loss. We can also help those who have hair, just not the lively and full head of hair that they’d like.

I understand the concept of extensions. It makes sense to me to want to make your hair look as lovely as possible. Women use various products and enhancers to give themselves that magazine cover look each and every day. And I can see how extensions can provide you with a quick fix to getting your hair to look the way that you’d like for it to look. I can see the allure. But sometimes I’m forced to think that hair extensions are like a band-aid fix to a continuing problem.

What if you could actually make your hair appear the way that you always wanted it to without the use of an appliance. Perhaps you weren’t born with Jessica Simpson’s hair, but you might not have to use her extensions. Using low level laser therapy (LLLT) in a multi-therapeutic program that also includes DHT inhibiting shampoos, DHT inhibiting hair nutritionals as well as additional products can give your hair that healthier, fuller and thicker appearance that you’ve always dreamed of. It’s also a solution that doesn’t require you taking appliances off of your scalp after that big party or reunion. You could go and find a clinic, you could purchase our products, or you could reach out to us here at the Hair Loss Control Clinic and we could show you how to take care of your hair and scalp in the best way possible. Giving your hair and scalp all the nutrition and support we could provide will give your hair follicles the best possible environment for your hair to grow (or even grow back).

I’m not here to tell you that I don’t believe in hair extensions. They are a fine solution for making your hair appear beautiful. I’m simply here to tell you that there is a solution out there (one that we provide to clients every single day) that is the kind of solution that lasts more than an evening.
