If you are considering treating your hair loss, it is highly important to educate yourself of all the options before committing to one.  Which hair loss treatment is the best?  Can Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil really regrow hair?  Does a hair system look natural?  What are the surgical risks of hair transplant surgery?  Does John Travolta wear a hair piece?

In this hair loss forum discussion thread, balding men and women discuss the advantages and disadvantages of wearing a hair piece (alopecia wig) verses hair restoration surgery and link to an article showing John Travolta allegedly wearing a hair system.  You are encouraged to read other and offer your own experiences on this important consideration for hair loss solutions.

We already have a great start, but more input is needed.  We encourage you to find some of your favorite and most informative topics and post a brief summary with a link back to it on this hair loss forum thread.

Your contributions will help other balding men and women find information quicker and engage in important discussion more readily.  We can continue to add to this list anytime an important and exciting topic is added.

Waiting for the new transplanted hair to grow is the hardest part of the hair transplant process.  Many patients will find themselves waiting for new signs of growth up to 5 and sometimes even 6 months.  But what if there was a way to jump start early hair growth?  Minoxidil (found in Rogaine), an FDA approved non-surgical hair regrowth solution has been conjectured to help accelerate transplanted hair growth.  But is there is any proof of this?  Why do some hair loss doctors believe this while others do not?  

View this hair loss forum thread to see what other patient members and physicians are saying about whether or not minoxidil can help jump start early growth.  You are encouraged to share your own experience or opinions on this topic.

If you have had or are considering a hair transplant, you might be interested to know the best ways to measure the success of your results.  A patient may receive 2000, 3000, or even 4000 follicular unit grafts, but how do they really know whether or not all the hair really grew?  There may be a few patients who have friends or relatives with amazing eyes and patience who can count each hair graft one by one; however, this solution isn’t very realistic.

Hair loss forum member “Time to do Something” suggests that a hair restoration physician may have a mathematical formula to calculate the approximate hair growth yield which can determine the success of a hair transplant.  View this hair loss forum thread to engage in this discussion and offer your input.
