I’ve noticed a few articles in the press recently (admittedly, more focused on the female population) about the importance of eyebrows for framing the face. Of course, having ‘perfect’ eyebrows – just like having a full head of hair – is a cosmetic issue for many. Those who are a little follicularly challenged in the […]
Yesterday’s papers all picked up on the same piece of research from Japan – the rather alarming statistic that men who suffer from male pattern baldness are 32 per cent more likely to suffer from heart disease than those blessed with a full head of hair. However, only those balding from the crown of the […]

I’ve received a few enquiries recently about whether stress can contribute to turning your hair grey. It seems to be a common – and concerning – myth, that worrying can turn you grey overnight. Fear not – hair receives its colour genetically. It’s embedded in the hair’s structure as it forms in the root. If your […]
The Farjo Medical Centre recently featured on an episode of BBC3’s documentary series ‘I want to change my body’. The programme featured young people who had decided to undergo surgical procedures to correct a feature that they were desperately unhappy with. Patients were enlisted with documenting their journey via hand-held cameras. We were, of course, […]
The age old battle against baldness and hair loss has recently taken an interesting new step.

‘Unbeweaveable’ Part Two follows on from a blog we wrote two years ago about a rise in traction alopecia in women, due to hair extensions.
