Hair Transplant - Hair Replacement

Hair transplantation is the medical process of relocating permanent hair from the lower back and sides of the head. These hairs are transplanted into areas of thinning and balding along the top and towards the front of the head, where after a short resting period they grow and will continue to grow for a lifetime.

The entire reason why hair transplants are permanent, and not just a temporary cosmetic procedure, lies in a simple physiological fact that every man has a horseshoe-shaped area of hair around the back and sides of the head. Often referred to as the monk's fringe, this area contains hair, which is genetically programmed before birth to last a lifetime. That's why even the most severely bald men you ever see will still have this area of permanent, lifetime growing hair at the back of their head.

Wig and hair pieces

To try and overcome the negative connotations that the words "wig" "hairpiece" and "toupee" conjure up in the minds of most men, the salesmen have a new range of names and terms to help sell their products.

Instead of calling their products wigs, we now have "hair extensions", "weaves" or some kind of fancy "system". Some have names like Polystrand , Microweave and Micro system 2000.

In Britain around one and a half million wigs or hair pieces are sold each year, and the industry is worth 150 million annually.

The fact of the matter is that they are all simply wigs: artificial prostheses which are manufactured from either synthetic fibres (such as nylon or acrylic) or from severed human hair.

Often a man who has been wearing a wig for a number of years would love to dispose of it, unfortunately for him it is too big a step psychologically to suddenly just wake up one morning and throw his wig away. As much as he would love to probably come to terms with his baldness he is not in a position to do so. To suddenly appear in front of all his friends and family with no hair is just too much.

Hair Thickeners

Thinning hair thickeners are great for the job that they do. They do a good job in covering up hair loss but will never restore hair.

They can provide an impressive head of hair provided you have hair to start with. You cannot spray or shake fibres onto a bald scalp and expect to achieve a head of hair.

Anyone with intermediate hair loss, including men, women or children can use the products. Intermediate hair loss is when the scalp shows through in small bald or thinning areas.

Thinning hair thickener products should not be applied directly to the scalp, this is when it starts to look false and will not produce impressive results.

The result when applied properly can be very impressive. Often people use the products only on special occasions such as at a wedding when they know that they will be photographed. A good hair thickener product can cover up your bald patch and make it appear normal.
