A Baldness Solution---That Works!

Hair loss sufferers have a myriad of hair restoration methods to choose from. What used to be regarded as crude, ineffective ways to battle hair loss has now exploded into a highly successful hair restoration industry offering functional and flexible solutions to the hair loss sufferer.

The oldest hair restoration method, if we don’t count the Ancient Egypt practice of burning incense to grow hair follicles, might just be the unwieldy hair transplant of the 50’s and 60’s. Though more effective than other hair restoration methods of the time, the early hair transplants were unpredictable and often had less than spectacular results

But with improved technology came more convenience and better results. As the amount of donor hair needed shrunk, from an original 20-30 hair follicles for the original hair transplants to a much more manageable 1-4 hair follicles, hair transplantation, or follicular micro grafting as it is officially called, became one of the best hair restoration methods for ensuring a natural and permanent solution to hair loss.

But hair transplantation isn’t the only hair restoration method available. Prescription medications like Minoxidil (Rogaine) or Finasteride (Propecia) may not provide the hair loss patient with permanent results, but they can be a very effective short-term solution and can give the budget-conscious hair loss customer time to consider more permanent options.

Rogaine is a topical solution that is directly applied to the scalp and can drastically stem existing hair loss and in some cases actually promote new hair growth among dying hair follicles. Propecia is a hair loss medication in pill form that is also very effective in stopping the rate of hair loss and is favored by some for its convenience.

There is no miracle “cure” for baldness, any product that claims this is simply nonsense. But current hair restoration methods can provide an effective strategy for dealing with hair loss that relies on hard science and the consultation of a hair restoration expert.
