		<description>Kumar,

If I understand you correctly, you lost all of your hair when you were 7 months old and it has never regrown. What you describe may be a form of balding known as Alopecia Totalis. This condition is believed to be an autoimmune disorder resulting in loss of all head hair. In other words, your own body&#039;s immune system may be attacking your hair follicles. 

Hair oils will not regrow your hair. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist specializing in hair loss. Only when you have a definite diagnosis can you begin to seek treatment.

Best of luck!

		<description>According to the link below it might be possible in the future?

http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/sci_update.php?DocID=26

Dr. Amanda Reynolds keeps a close eye on her husband&#039;s hair. Which is quite easy, because it&#039;s growing on her forearm.

She and her husband are researchers at the University of Durham in the U.K. Along with Columbia University dermatologist Angela Christiano, they&#039;ve developed a new hair transplant technique.

Dr. Christiano says you can&#039;t transplant whole hair follicles from person to person. That&#039;s because the immune system rejects them. But her team discovered you can transplant the follicle&#039;s dermal sheath cells. These cells seem to be protected from the immune system.</description>

		<description>If blood transfusions from one person to another can be done without anti-rejection drugs, I don&#039;t see why hair can&#039;t be transplanted.  I presume it would be very easy to tell if one person&#039;s hair can be transplanted to another person&#039;s scalp without rejection.  Just take hair (even from a recently dead young corpse) and transplant some of it to one&#039;s arm.  If the hair continues to grow on the arm, it can probably be transplanted eventually to the scalp.  In the future, one might be able to try several potential donors on their arm first, until they find a donor they don&#039;t reject.</description>

		<description>Marion,

Thanks for your comment.  But like an organ transplant, without anit-rejection medication, hair follicles transplanted from one person to another will certainly be rejected.  It would be interesting to learn more about this specific doctor&#039;s research and to see if his research contradicts what dozens of leading hair transplant surgeons have said regarding this topic.

Best wishes,

		<description>Just want to correct what you are saying about hair transplanting from another person.  The people do not have to be identical twins or even related to one another.  I have been told by a retiring hair transplant expert who tried some of these surgeries that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn&#039;t.  Just as there was a learning curve for transfusing blood, there are things not understood about why hair can be transplanted sometimes from an unrelated donor, and sometimes can&#039;t even be transplanted between identical twins (possibly with the twins the bald brother had an infection that caused his original hair loss, after transplantation from his brother, his head swelled up and rejected the new hair).

I have also been told that hair transplanting between people was made illegal in the United States several years ago -- so doctors no longer try it.</description>
