My grandfather (on my mother’s side) died at the age of 102 with the same amount of hair that he had when he was 5 years old. My great grandmother also came from the area below and lived to be 114 years old. Its all in the genetics!

Hi I’m a 21 yr. old male who is experiencing a form of chemical induced thinning and breakage. In August I had colored my hair and it had come out very dark. I frequently washed it and damaged it further, thinking it would fade the color. Needless to say once I started to notice some breakage I did everything I could do to condition my hair. The thinning was a very rapid affair, only taking a week. Since then there was no unusual hair loss. I was prescribed a topical steroid for redness in my scalp and I had some bad dandruff for about a month. Now I notice some new hairs coming in around the hairline and I still feel a diffuse thinning on top of my head kind of near my crown. It is hard to tell the new hairs from broken off hairs. Also I don’t see any kind of scarring. What advice can you give me to help my condition? Also what can I expect?

If you truly have hair thinning, you need a complete evaluation of your scalp and hair to determine if there is a genetic component to this process. It may not be due exclusively to the impact of the chemicals you used. If it was, then the chance is very good that most of your hair will grow back as long as no significant damage to your hair follicles and surrounding skin (which is probable). To determine if you have an underlying male balding pattern which may have exacerbated further hair loss by the chemicals which you have used, it is best getting a scalp and hair examination for miniaturization by a doctor that specializes in hair.

Can you see the surgery?

Male pattern balding with recession is often asymmetrical. The side that is behind will often catch up with the more receded side.

This is my math: 6000 donor follicles available. Average head has 100000 hairs. Can lose 50% of hair density before it’s visible. Say a norwood 6 loses 60% of their hair (40% left on sides) that’s 60000 hairs. Need 30000 hairs replaced to reach 50% density and look like a full head. Average graft 2 hairs. 15000 grafts = 30000 hairs would look like a full head. Could sides be over harvested from 6000 to 10000 to replace 20000 hairs? 2/3 of full apperance. Sides clipped to no1 with SMP to cover overharvest?

Answer: ?Your math is partly right. The donor area is always determined on the Class 7 scale not the Class 6 scale, which essentially reduces the donor area to about 20,000 hairs or 10,000 grafts, which can be harvested at say 60% assuming that you have an average donor density. Graft numbers are adjusted according to hair weight (coarse vs fine), color and contract between hair and scalp and hair character. The artistic judgment of the surgeon manages the multi-variant analysis as everything is not by the numbers alone.

This has been done before. I remember attending a lecture which described these cells put into mice and since the direction couldn’t be controlled, the mice all died from ingrown hair infections

Combining finasteride and minoxidil is a good idea. You should get a HAIRCHECK instrument test to find out exactly what hair you are losing and how these drugs reverse the process. IF you are in Southern California, my first visit for this test is free
