The most common cause of hair loss in males is androgenic hair loss or male pattern hair loss. It may start as early as their teenage years. Now add to this the medication Strattera (said to produce hair loss — see ADHD Message Board) and you complicate the hair loss presentation. Your son should discuss […]

It is understandable that you do not like your current hairline, but even with no evident balding in your family, you may have genetic male pattern balding. It is difficult to tell how bald you may or may not be at such a young age. At the least, you need a miniaturization study, a good […]
Well anyone’s worse case scenario would be a Norwood Class 7. There is a huge difference with respect to hair transplant surgery planning if you may only progress to a Norwood Class 3V or a 7, though. You need a good examination, including a miniaturization study to help with this decision and planning. This is […]
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), if it is a medical issue related to low testosterone levels, is a decision that both you and your prescribing doctor need to address. Normal hair (hair that is not impacted by genetic hair loss) will not be impacted by testosterone, so hair transplants should not be a problem. With that […]
The available number of hair follicles for a hair transplant is different in each person. Some of the factors that affect the number of hair grafts are: Density of hair in donor area. Average density is 2.0 hairs per square millimeter. It could vary significantly from person to person and between different ethnic groups. The […]
You raise a very good point and concern. A typical hair transplant procedure of an average male with good scalp laxity will yield 3000 to 3500 grafts in Caucasians (who often have higher densities than Asians). The most that we were able to yield in one single surgery was about 5800 grafts from a patient […]
Pomade (a greasy or waxy substance for hair styling) should not produce hair loss. Neither should gel. For those who start balding early and want to know what the future holds for them, if they get their hair mapped out for miniaturization and it shows a Norwood class 7 pattern of thinning, then the prospects […]
We all want to believe in miracles and hitting the lottery (in this case the hair lottery). It is no surprise that fancy potions did nothing for treating your hair loss other than get some of your money and your pride. You need to see a hair specialist (transplant doctor) to discuss your options and […]
While emotional or physical stress may be a factor in hair loss, you may also have a component of genetic hair loss. There is no way for me to tell you or diagnose your condition via the internet. You need to see a doctor for a good diagnosis and a miniaturization study to see if […]
This is a follow-up of the blog entry from the other day, What Happens When a Doctor’s Car and Mansion Payment Is More Important Than You? First, lets get to the photos. The photo on the left was taken this week in my office. The photo on the right was taken 18 months ago, also […]
There is no direct connection between dying your hair and losing hair unless you are using dyes that are dangerous and out of the mainstream of commercial products and their proper application. Instructions on the commercial dyes suggest that you test your skin against the dye to anticipate any skin reaction or allergies. I have […]
For a general assessment the side effects, you can see your primary care doctors. If you want to get on board with a Master Plan, your hair loss or gain progress should be followed by an experienced hair specialist. Periodical microscopic examination of your scalp for miniaturization should be part of the standard diagnosis for […]
I do not think that you are inappropriate. As a matter of fact, people have tried everything over the years for conditions that had no known treatment and even trying a mixture of potato and sulfur powder, mixed with heated, old urine on their head is not an exception. Yes, you read it right. Your […]
Yes, this is an unusual response with classic genetic patterned hair loss. If you had telogen effluvium it might reverse rapidly as you reported. To be on the safe side, I always like to get a diagnosis with your hair mapped out for miniaturization to determine if you have a pattern thinning occurring. By knowing […]
First, I want to thank you for your kind words about NHI. Generally, I do not do hair restoration surgery on 22 year old men, because the final hair loss pattern is not usually evident. I always want to set up a Master Plan to determine where you are going and to ascertain your donor […]
