I am 22 years old and have no Beard growth or hairs on face.. I have few hairs on my chin and have mustache… At my age all have full beard and mustache… I’m worried about it… Please give me the Solution

First check with your dad and grandfather and see when their beard grew in. Then you can use minoxidil on the face or get a doctor to prescribe it for you in the oral form. It might accelerate your beard growth.

It is not common for a 43 year old to get hairline growth as this man showed with finasteride alone.

I’m a trans woman, what should I be using as a dosage for minoxidil? 2x a day is for men, 1x a day is what’s recommended for (cis) women. 2x a day doesn’t really work with my lifestyle, I’m growing my hair out and slathering that slimy stuff into my roots before stepping out every morning isn’t realistic.

To my own data, I’ve been using the (men’s) 5% strength 1x a day for several months now with promising results, but I’ve got to wonder if it could be thicker. There’s almost zero testosterone in my body for well over a year now, and correspondingly no DHT.

How worried should I be about missing a day? I’m generally really good at consistently applying once to the crown every night before my head hits the pillow, but very rarely, like last night, I completely forgot and now I’m stressing about losing my crown and needing to chop off everything. 

Minoxidil 5% works well for men and women. Skipping a day is not a problem just don’t make it a habit.

How many hairs are usually in each graft/unit? Got a transplant quote for 2500-3000 hair follicles. Wonder what does this mean in terms of grafts

Surgeons shouldn’t confuse you with poor language. A graft or a follicular unit contains from 1-5 hairs. Most doctors today transplant follicular units and at the time of the surgery, they keep an accounting of the actual number of follicular units and the number of hairs in each unit. Yesterday, I did a hair transplant on a 60 year old man with 3680 follicular units transplanted from a strip surgery. His natural follicular units had a very low hair count and 1700 of them had single hairs in them, the rest had only 2 hairs. So that means that he received 5660 hairs in the 3680 grafts. He had the worst hair (very fine) and the worst balding (Class 7 pattern for many years), and I suspect he will end up with light coverage and that is what I told him. Eventually, I plan on performing Scalp Micropigmentation under the hair transplants to make the look much fuller. I have done this many times and it works nicely. Setting up expectations is critical to getting a happy patient and that is what I do as I spend a lot of time with each patient letting them know what is going to happen to them, good or bad. I published an article on this subject with FUE which is now gaining traction by doctors from around the world as I predicted combining hair transplants with Scalp Micropigmentation (https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Combining_Follicular_Unit_Extraction_and_Scalp.98621.pdf).

I don’t see much of a difference between the two photos! If I were her doctor, I would have performed a HAIRCHECK test ( https://baldingblog.com/?s=haircheck+video ) to see if there was a measurable change

Is it possible for someone to get a transplant basically without affecting follicles that may be able to be saved still on the hair line without damaging them? I have a very diffuse hairline and am wondering if a good hair transplant doc could like weave transplant hairs in with the current for extra thickness. I think would look pretty good thanks

Transplanting a person with existing hair and transplanting into that area is a problem when the hairs are miniaturized. Miniaturization usually indicates the end of a hair’s life and if a hair transplant is done in these areas, then the hair loss of the miniaturized hairs gets accelerated. If you think about your question, if the hair was not miniaturized, then it would be unlikely to need a hair transplant in that area. I personally believe that if you ‘stabbed’ a good hair follicle, it would just bounce back and grow normally, even if it went through a shed and that is because the stem cells that back up these hairs know that the hair must be there and the hair cycling clock is always ticking on a normal “Terminal’ hair. I have seen some men transplanted who didn’t need a hair transplant and when I measured their hair bulk with the HAIRCHECK instrument, I found increases in hair bulk well above their normal level (using their donor site as a reference). In those young men, I knew that the doctors who did their hair transplants, did them for NO REASON other than MAKE MONEY off the backs of these naive men who didn’t do their research to find a caring, competent and HONEST doctor.

Just say that a cure was found, I am 100000000% sure that you’ll be only able to get it done in a professional environment (like PRP), also unless its patent drops it’ll be ridiculiously expensive (I think at least 300 bucks a month at best). Richer people will be cured, having hair will be a financial statement. Us, the middle class-lower class balders will be received even worse by the population. 

AS PRP doesn’t work predictably, you are not losing out. Microneedling with minoxidil works as good if not better than PRP and it is far less expensive, see here: https://baldingblog.com/go-looking-prp-used-hair-transplant-good-thing/
