I had the link to the original press release and intended to write about it early this week, but saw it was removed. This explains it. For those that aren’t aware, RepliCel issued a press release touting their hair loss “cure” and promoting the price of their stock. Then they issued a retraction of the […]

Snippet from the article: Read the full article at Law.com Remember this story the next time you see some new miracle “all natural” hair loss treatment that proclaims to do everything you could ever hope or dream of. There are people out there looking to prey on you, and it is up to you to […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest of this article at Yahoo Sports — and more info at Guardian UK I don’t follow Australian sports so I’m unfamiliar with the spokesmen mentioned, but this seems like another case of a company getting caught attempting to mislead the public about hair loss treatments and the results […]
I’ve often said that a “normal” range of 100-150 hairs (sometimes even 200 hairs) are lost some days. While it is true that this is a generalization, the importance of a miniaturization (microscopic) examination of your scalp is all the more relevant if you believe you are losing more hair and not growing it back. […]
I feel like this 100 hair a day thing is misleading for people that are shedding. I for example lose 200+ hair a day, and thats when I do a rough count in the shower and sink(when applying minoxidil). But if I ask a friend or my brother how much they lose in the shower […]

Judge Ursula […]
Understanding what we are seeing is not good with photos here., but a HAIRCHECK test ( https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/ ) would give an actual number to what you think may be increased hair growth. These numbers don’t lie but photos can be misleading. You can see how photos can mislead you here: https://baldingblog.com/photos-taken-20-seconds-apart/
The post he commented on is the following: https://baldingblog.com/new-report-that-finasteride-does-not-cause-sexual-side-effects/ Comment: This survey method is so flawed that its ‘findings’ are not just unhelpful, but actually misleading. It’s really quite simple actually. They just surveyed a bunch of guys who had been taking Propecia for hair loss and compared it to presumably random guys who were […]
A clinic posted two pictures and labeled one as theirs and the other as the competitor. What you are looking at nothing more that two examples of different hair transplant densities. The one on the left had twice the density as the man on the right and probably paid twice the cost. The advertising is […]
An FUE surgery of 5,000 grafts is most likely too many grafts for the donor area in 98% of the population. As a result, you have a problem with over-harvesting which produces a see-through donor area. The original density may have been too low to support the number of FUE grafts you had done. You now have a […]
I’ve noticed that as the weather has gotten warmer, my hair looks a lot thinner than it did in the winter. I’m currently on the big Finasteride at a half dose, so I don’t think I suddenly lost more hair (although possible). Could it be that your hair is more oily and appears more thin or […]
“Drug-poisoning deaths involving heroin use have soared since 2000, and most of the increase occurred since 2010. From 2010 to 2013, the rate of heroin overdose deaths increased 163%. From 2010 to 2013, the rate of heroin overdose deaths increased 163% for men, from a rate of 1.6/100,000 population in 2010 to 4.2 in 2013. […]
The Internet is a great source of information but it can also be misleading and cause great anxiety when it comes to medical information. Men taking Propecia/ finasteride for androgenic alopecia can still father a baby – no issues. To my knowledge, there have been no reports of abnormal babies with men fathering a child […]
In general it takes 6 months to start seeing growth from a hair transplant surgery (even on the scar). It can take as long as one year to get full results. Two years is rather long and misleading to say that the grafts need to “break through” a scar. In general hair transplants to scars […]
There are a great deal of claims that may accurately reflect the patient example, however, the documentation and balance of the presentation is poor and heavily biased. Read it accordingly. It’s worth pointing out that this recent hysteria is just based on interviews with 54 men, where the participants reported their own issues after stopping […]
