“As a professional consulting engineer, I have been trained over many years to appreciate the importance in the details. For example, when I decided to investigate hair transplant options for myself, I took my time; the overriding litmus test, was “A bad hair transplant result is far, far worse, than having no hair transplant at all, at any price”. That principal first led me to start at the very beginning… Who developed the first successful thousands at a time hair transplant procedure that was a completely successful result? Wikipedia will lead you directly to Dr Rassman. He was the original pioneer in this thousands at a time hair transplant procedure. I was hoping to find a doctor who had been trained by Dr Rassman; and to my surprise, I found Dr Rassman was still practicing! I immediately arranged to see him, for a procedure. He was hands on for the whole procedure, including his office staff professionally trained by him to totally exacting standards. Before this, my long term hair stylist for many years had cautioned me not to get the hair transplant; he had seen so many horrible results in the past. So it was with great surprise my hair stylist upon seeing me the first time after the procedure, couldn’t believe how natural my new hair line looked! That is the best feeling when I heard my hair stylist’s disbelief. Apparently, hair transplant results in North America are getting worse over these years, as more and more “Less than competent” doctors are doing unskilled procedures, only for the money. Do not allow yourself to become another billable bad example of what not to do. Thank you to Dr Rassman and your amazing staff.”

This type of comment made my day and warmed my heart. He had 2460 grafts.

I have published on the genetics of the persistent frontal hairline. This man could bald and yet keep his frontal hairline. For a hair transplant surgeon, that means that he will not have to get the leading edge of his hair transplant, saving the patient money and donor grafts. For him, it means that he will retain a frame to his face with a good comb-back of his hair for styling purposes.

Many such dietary supplements have steroids in them and these steroids can cause or accelerate the hair loss when a man has genetic propensity for balding.

I wrote: You can pick up a hand microscope from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/SKYBASIC-Microscope-Magnification-Compatible-Smartphone/dp/B082SVF8SB/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=hand+microscope&qid=1586193649&sr=8-10) and send me photos (see attached: trichoscope view of hair) like those below with your hair cut in the field of view. Once I see that, I can tell you your birth hair count and your donor supply for your lifetime if you should elect to get a hair transplant at some point when you are older.

In this particular young man, he had a Class 5 pattern of balding heading to a Class 6 from what I could see in his photos. The metrics obtained from these simple pictures, tell me that he will have enough hair to handle any balding pattern he develops. Those of you reading this should consider a phone consultation with me and also sending me these photos so I can give you an analysis as I did for this young man. This is a critical part of a Personalized Master Plan for lifetime hair loss.

I’ve heard it’s normal to lose over 100 hairs throughout the day, but every time I wash my hair and towel dry it’s seems I’m losing a ton of hair. I’ll shampoo and each time I run my hands through my soapy hair and look at them there’ll be close to or over 10 hairs and appears like it adds up to almost 100. No matter how many times I run my hands through my hair I’ll see a bunch of hairs. Then, if I towel dry with a white towel I’ll see even more hairs. Is it normal to lose this much hair just in the shower? I shower every day but wash my hair every two to three days.

The average hair loss per day for an average Caucasian male is 100,000 hairs, but I doubt that you would lose them all in the shower unless you are losing more than 100 hairs per day which would occur in a hair loss situation. When you rub hair that is miniaturizing, these hair easily come out with your fingers, your towel and almost anything you do to rough up your hair.
