Post Hair Loss Questions and Get Answers

I have very find hair and although I am told by hair stylists that I have a lot of it, it appears very thin on top.  I don’t think hair transplant surgery is the right procedure for me.  Do you know of any hair loss treatment that will give me more hair to cover the wide part of my scalp showing through the hair?  I have tried Rogaine which worked temporarily despite continued use.  I spent a lot of money on a hair piece alopecia wig that is not comfortable and I believe looks obvious.  It is very difficult to hide the wide part with anything and I do not like the short and spiky hair with bands that are the mainstay of hair pieces.  I hope you can help and please be specific if you have any hair loss solutions.

You have mentioned a number of possibilities already however, there are a few more.  Sadly, none of them are miracle cures or perfect solutions, but are worth considering.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments

Propecia for men only (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are FDA approved hair growth drugs and when used together, they may boost your chances of hair regrowth. 

Ketoconazole hair loss shampoo such as Nizoral and Revita may be helpful adjunct treatments given the “weak” DHT blocking properties of ketoconazole. 

Laser hair treatment has been FDA “cleared” however, in my opinion, not enough evidence publicly exists for me to recommend it.

I have worn a hair system for over 10 years. It looks pretty good and I have been successful in hiding this fact from all but my family. Now, realizing that a hair transplant will take time to start showing results, I am concerned with the sudden transition from a full head of hair to the stubble that I will have right after the hair transplantation. My degree of baldness is pretty severe in the front and most of the way to the crown.

Has anyone else been down this path and if so how did you deal with this?

Nine years ago I was you. I had been wearing a hair system for seven years and was ready to jump into hair transplants. However, back then a big mega session was only 1,500 grafts. But I basically did two hair transplant sessions to restore the frontal area, while still wearing my hair system.

What I did was switch my attachment to clips so I could remove my system at night (i.e. grass grows better without being covered by carpet) and I cut the tape very thin and placed it at the very front of my tape tab and then I wore the front edge of the system just in front of my newly transplanted hairline.
