Hair show's history

Since it was launched in 1983, the Alternative Hair Show has now raised more than £8 million for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.
All the research is carefully selected with the benefit of independent specialist advice from experts of international standing in the field of medical and scientific research. So, we can be sure it is helping us to improve treatments and advance cures for leukaemia lymphoma, myeloma, and other related cancers of the blood.
Today, thanks to the Alternative Hair Show, the dream of all children surviving leukaemia becomes a real possibility.
One important factor appears to be the minute number of leukaemia cells (MRD – minimal residual disease) that remain in a child’s blood after treatment. Research backed by the Alternative Hair Show is allowing scientists to measure these levels accurately and determine their significance. It is now possible to detect just one leukaemia cell in a 100,000 – a volume that could be placed on the head of a pin. In-depth information like this is crucial because it helps us to get clearer idea of the best treatment for the individual child. Children most likely to relapse can then be targeted with stronger therapy at an earlier stage, and children with a better prognosis can be freed from the risk and unpleasantness of unnecessary aggressive treatment. This is just one of the ways in which the Alternative Hair Show is pushing research forward and making a difference to lives of the children with leukaemia. Other research is making exciting strides in understanding the frightening diseases and improving treatments not only for children but also for the many adults of all ages who fall victim to leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and the other blood cancers.
Thanks to the Alternative Hair Show, much has been achieved. Today nine out of ten children survive their leukaemia and the outlook for adults of all ages is vastly improved. However, much more can and must be done. Leukaemia still claims the lives of more children than any other disease; these diseases account for a more than one third of cancers in adolescents and young adults. We are sure that with the energy and backing of the Alternative Hair Show the future for people of all ages with leukaemia and the related blood cancers will be a lot brighter.

Nurture Hair to Health

When it comes to hair loss, our biggest concern is usually how this will affect the way our hair looks. It's a natural concern for most women (and men!) to have. The health of our hair, however, is actually what we need to evaluate. From scalp conditions to what we eat, there are several areas related to health that you should consider if you notice a change in your hair growth and texture.
"Hair health depends on blood supply, circulation and nutrition," says ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Melody Hart. "It can also be from one's thyroid, liver hormones and stress levels." Whether you're suffering from hair loss or want to prevent it from happening, these expert tips will help you keep your hair its healthiest.
Eating and Drinking for Hair
Check the ingredients in the food you eat. Are your meals enriching? A lot of foods lack vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. For instance, eating organic can greatly improve hair health, says Dr. Julia Tatum Hunter, dermatologist and founder of Skin Fitness Plus in Beverly Hills, CA. "The closer to nature—raw green foods—you eat, the more alkaline and healthy your skin and body will become," she explains. "You must address your skin and body internally and externally to achieve health and turn back the clock."
Dr. Hart also suggests eating foods rich in silica and sulphur such as onions, garlic, green leafy veggies and eggs. Sulphur, which is often dubbed the "beauty mineral" and can be found in its greatest concentration in hair, skin and nails, promotes circulation and decreases inflammation. Experts like Dr. Hart theorize adequate amounts of sulphur can help jumpstart hair growth in people with deficiencies. "Iodine and potassium foods, such as sea vegetables (like seaweed), also promote growth and thickness," she says.
As much as you love coffee, sweets, and salty snacks, reducing your intake of salt, sugar, fats and caffeine can also aid in fostering hair health. Instead of coffee or soda, drink water. Since the human body is generally composed of 60-80 percent water, when deprived of it, your cell health suffers. Dehydration directly impacts hair growth, so Dr. Hart suggests drinking at least six glasses of water a day.
