Eggs, yogurt and honey are, at first glance, all components of a tasty breakfast — but they also happen to be hair treatment ingredients, and affordable, all-natural ones at that. And they're not the only ones. Did you know, for instance, that the oils in avocados more closely resemble our own skin's oils than any product in the beauty aisle does? Or that the mild acidity in lemon is an

As we age, our bodies inevitably age with us. As men, we can look forward to beer bellies, bushels of ear hair and, of course, baldness. Though men like to think that they'll have a full head of hair well past their primes, reality tells a different story. By the age of 35, about two-thirds of men will experience some appreciable hair loss while nearly 85 percent of men will have significantly

What's your party trick? Mine is to pull up my hair and reveal the big, smooth bald patch behind my left ear. It works a treat because nobody expects a 29-year-old woman to be suffering from hair loss. Surely that's the preserve of men of a certain age? Well no, actually. Last week a survey revealed that as many as one in three women over the age of 25 suffers from some sort of hair loss, or

Barely a month goes by without another male celebrity admitting to a hair transplant. Earlier in the year, TV chef Gordon Ramsay was photographed leaving a Los Angeles clinic sporting the telltale surgical cap. Strictly Come Dancing judge Jason Gardener chose the show’s final episode to reveal his newly transplanted locks. The latest reported fan is Michael Eavis, the 74-year-old Glastonbury

I suffer from an itchy, dry scalp. I've tried several shampoos, but none has helped. When I was young, my mother washed my hair in green soft soap: is there a product like it today? Early soap making was based on the reaction of fat (animal or vegetable) with an alkali such as caustic soda or potash. This saponification produces a mixture of soap and glycerol. Commercially, the glycerol is

Once you've committed to treating your breast cancer with chemotherapy, there's a good chance you'll lose at least some of your hair. Side effects range from thinning to total baldness and depend mostly on the type and dosage of chemo you receive. The problem isn't limited to the hair on your head—you may lose your body or pubic hair too. The loss is usually temporary, but it's one of the side

Home treatment for hair loss includes hair care and hairstyling techniques that may help you cover thinning or bald spots on the scalp. This may be easier for women because inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) causes a general thinning that is usually not as severe as it is in men. Hair sprays, dyes, and perms can help make the hair appear fuller. In women with inherited hair loss, hair

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Kelley Williams-Bolar, alarmed after her home was broken into, yanked her two daughters out of their urban Akron, Ohio, schools and enrolled them in her father's suburban school district nearby, using his address. That way, said the single mom and teacher's aide, they could come to a safer home after school. Her peace of mind proved costly. Officials in the Copley-Fairlawn

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mike Huckabee isn't tamping down speculation of another presidential run. But he isn't doing much to prepare for what on Thursday he called the "sausage grinder of a campaign." The winner of the Iowa caucuses in 2008 doesn't sound all that enthusiastic about another bid as he travels on a nationwide book tour that includes early GOP primary states. Also calling into question

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The second blockbuster NBA trade in two days sent Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams to the New Jersey Nets, shifting another star from the Western Conference to the East and to a bigger market. Now, while the Nets hope they can keep their new All-Star long-term and turn him into a face-of-the-franchise player the way Jason Kidd was years ago, small-market teams are left

CAIRO (AP) -- Moammar Gadhafi never trusted his own army. So Libya's leader of 41 years kept his military weak to prevent any serious challenges to his rule. With money and patronage, he seeded supporters in key posts. He built up militias and armed "revolutionary committees" that are the final line of support for him and his powerful sons. They are expected to fight for him if the regular

Afghan officials said Monday that a NATO air strike targeting three insurgents planting mines on a road killed six members of the same family in eastern Nangarhar province.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- LeBron James racked up a silky-smooth triple-double. Kevin Durant dropped 34 points in 30 minutes. Amare Stoudemire slammed and jammed his way through Staples Center for 29 points. And the NBA's younger stars still were thrilled when Kobe Bryant took home one more MVP trophy from the All-Star game Sunday night. "Everyone wanted him to get the MVP," said Miami's Dwyane Wade,
