I had a hair-shedding problem my entire life. As I got older, it became progressively worse. I came across the following study a couple years ago. After a lot of experimentation, the best application of microcurrent to the scalp that halted nearly all of my hair shedding was the following:

-1 milliamp current

-Bipolar Waveform

-10 to 100 Hertz

Factors that can play a role in the efficacy of this treatment include:

-Scalp Thickness

-Microcurrent Device Manufacturer

-Frequency of Treatment

-Duration of Treatment Session

I’ve been doing this treatment for about 18 months. This treatment is relatively safe and inexpensive. I thought it might interest your readers on baldingblog.com.

I am 68 years old, very active & healthy. Approximately 2 years ago I went through a stressful time & started loosing my hair. The stressful time is way behind me & im balding from ear to ear ( located where a headband would be placed. My dermatologist recommended I see Dr. Vera Price immediately. I want to have all of my blood work done ahead if time. What blood tests should I have done?

My initial reaction is to advise you to visit the doctor your dermatologist recommended. Once you’ve been examined by Dr. Price, she should know which blood tests to order. If you want to know ahead of time, call the office and simply ask.

Men under the age of 25 have a better chance of getting these type of results. The younger you are, the better the chances.

Hair definitely makes a difference in the way his image is projected. A good hair transplant is what he must have had.

A while ago, Men’s Fitness ran an article about men with hair. The article noted there is a perception that men without hair were not as trustworthy as men with hair. This article was written at the time of the primaries for a US presidential election. They noted that, since President Dwight D. Eisenhower, there has never been a bald president. A while ago, I had a radio program called ‘The Inner Man”, and one of the programs focused on hair loss. I remember a call from the Vice President of marketing for a multi-million dollar company. He called in and said, “I would never hire a bald man because balding men can’t be trusted”. He did tell me that he was the exception to that rule, as he was bald himself.

Looking at Elon Musk, I would then ask: Would you loan this man money to start a business (looking at his 1999 photo)? Of course, we all know that it is not the outside of a man that is important, but the inside of the man. Elon Musk has to be one of the greatest men in the US today and his new look reflects and matches the outer man with the inner man, a man with a brilliant mind and one of the few 20 and 21st-century geniuses and great visionaries.

Famous people are like everyone else. We all experience the same pain of looking older and with hair loss it is looking older too soon as shown here. You don’t have to be famous and rich to get your hair back, it is straight forward as tens of thousands of men and women are having a hair transplant done every year.

Since the brain is androgen-dependent, and males do not stop fully developing mentally before age 26 and physically before age 22, wouldn’t supressing DHT with finasteride stunt growth in a male who hasn’t hit 26 yet?

Some variation of this question has been posted on this blog before but I would like to ask:

Can hard water indirectly cause hair loss? I am not asking about the effects of hard water on genetic baldness but whether hard water can aggravate scalp conditions in sensitive subjects, thereby accelerating hair loss. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis and I am noticing more aggressive hair loss when washing with hard water compared to soft (my parents have a water softener).

If so, what do you recommend doing? Is there any benefit to washing with soft water or distilled water? Is this hair loss permanent?

Hard water just means it has higher mineral content in general. It does not cause or accelerate hair loss as far a I am concerned. If you think it is affecting your hair, you can always try soft water. But I personally do not see its benefit with respect to genetic hair loss, more of a washing issue

These two classic article cover the dose effectiveness of finasteride ranging from 0.1mg to 1mg daily as well as the serum testosterone effects from this drug
