Hair Replacement : How, When and What for?

With years people lose not only their health, strength and beauty but also sight, hearing, teeth, hair...Though hairloss is mostly a man's problem, about 35% of women suffer from it too. But not a single woman will ever reconcile to this terrible process while some men do not object to a "light spot" on their heads. Maybe it's because women take care about their appearance much more than men do or because women just have more time for improving themselves. And it's quite understandable -- they don't have to watch football, be busy with their cars, follow all sport news, drink bear and do many other very important things which men usually do. Anyway, if you are a man losing his hair and the prospect of having a nickname "Globe" doesn't bring you happiness at all you should act quickly.

In general there are 2 reasons of hairloss: inherited hairloss and noninherited one. The last type appears because of various negative factors which influence a person and may disappear with these factors being eliminated. In such cases your hair starts growing again and soon no sign of hairloss will be left. However, everything is not so easy with inherited hairloss. Let's try to clear the situation in the most common words.

A follicle is a motherland of a hair root. Theoretically each person has about 100000 - 150000 follicles in his head. By the way, the lighter a person's hair is the more follicles he/she has. But don't hurry to change the colour of your hair, it means here your native colour! Under the influence of a special gene some follicles lose their power, rise higher and higher to the skin of the head and ...disappear! No follicle -- no hair. Medicine is helpless in this case: follicles can't be created with the help of tablets, pills or ointment. Now you've got only one way out...

The method of hair replacement was developed by Japanese dermatolog Okuda in 1939. Except Okuda there were some other doctors in Japan who were solving this problem at that moment. But don't think Japanese people were the baldest nation! Maybe they were the cleverest one. Unfortunately Okuda died in the World War 2 and the further study of hair replacement took place in all developed countries. It has passed through many stages and now we have what we have.

And what exactly do we have? Hair replacement is an operation of settling your bald patch with your own hair. It takes about 3-4 hours and it's almost painless. Moreover during the operation you may take a break: eat something or walk a little about the room -- just to loosen up your bones. The follicles are transferred in groups of 1-4 follicles. They are taken from the most hairy parts of your head ( temples or the back of the head ) and are transferred to the crown -- the most hairless place of going bald man.

After such operations some little scars are usually left on the skin of the head. I'd advise all men to look at this fact from the other side -- everybody knows: scars decorate the man. If you are a woman....just don't wear your hair cut. In 24 hours after the operation you are already allowed to wash your head, in 2 months the removed hair falls out and -- call on your reserve of patience -- finally in 3-4 months your bald patch starts covering with a new strong hair. That's why don't think you can go on a date in some days after the operation, of course if you are not ashamed of your bald patch! This new hair grows with usual, normal speed as all your other hair (because it's your own one) and it will hardly ever fall out.

Nowadays such operations are taken place almost in all large cities. They are not cheap, of course, but they are worthy of spending such money.

In conclusion I want to address to all bald men: don't hurry to get rid of your bald patch -- many women like it. Moreover some women are sure that bald men are great lovers! Just think about that...

AM.
