Many men have mistakenly passed up the opportunity for hair growth to cover up their bald spot because of untruths about the costs of this procedure versus other hair loss remedies. There are a lot of different hair growth remedies that are much cheaper but the majority of them do absolutely nothing to help a person re-grow lost hair. The fact is, when a man loses his hair about 95% of the time it is because of a problem known as male pattern baldness. This genetic condition can be passed down either from the mother’s side of the family or the father’s.
The mechanism by which the hair stops growing is well known. A hormonal metabolite in the man’s body, called DHT, will attack the hair follicles and slowly cause them to stop producing keratin. Keratin is the material that hair shafts are composed of. As the production slows down the hair becomes thinner and thinner, eventually it breaks off and falls out. At this point, the follicle has been rendered useless and no cream or lotion applied to the scalp will help it start growing again.
The only option is to replace the dead hair follicle with one that is still healthy from another part of the scalp. This procedure can cost a few thousand dollars but it works well so comparing it to some remedy that doesn’t produce results is really ridiculous. Also, the hair will continue to grow for years to come so if you spread the price over , say, twenty years the hair transplant surgery cost becomes very manageable. And at the same time, you will have a full head of hair to enjoy.
If you have discarded the thought of hair transplants out of hand, then you really should look at them again if you are serious about re-growing your hair. You will be happy with the knowledge you gain.
