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 [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgery is the right procedure for me. Do you know of any [tag]hair loss treatment[/tag] that will give me more hair to cover the wide part of my scalp showing through the hair? I have tried [tag]Rogaine[/tag] which worked temporarily despite continued use. I spent a lot of money on a [tag]hair piece[/tag] [tag]alopecia wig[/tag] 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 [tag]hair loss solutions[/tag].
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 [tag]Hair Loss Treatments[/tag]
[tag]Propecia[/tag] for men only ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) and Rogaine ([tag]minoxidil[/tag]) are FDA approved [tag]hair growth[/tag] drugs and when used together, they may boost your chances of [tag]hair regrowth[/tag].
[tag]Ketoconazole[/tag] [tag]hair loss shampoo[/tag] such as [tag]Nizoral[/tag] and [tag]Revita[/tag] may be helpful adjunct treatments given the “weak” [tag]DHT[/tag] blocking properties of ketoconazole.
[tag]Laser hair treatment[/tag] has been FDA “cleared” however, in my opinion, not enough evidence publicly exists for me to recommend it.
“All-natural” [tag]hair loss products[/tag] are often overhyped in the media but after doing extensive research on many of the big names, there is only anecdotal evidence at best that they can successfully [tag]treat baldness[/tag]. Some of these products will even include minoxidil and call them “FDA Approved”.
Hair Piece / Alopecia Wig
The [tag]alopecia[/tag] wig (hair piece) is an option but often times require a lot of maintenance, a hefty replacement cost, and the worry that it won’t look natural.
[tag]Hair Restoration[/tag] Surgery
Hair transplant surgery can be great for those who are qualified, have realiistic expectations, and have considered the benefits, limitations, and risks associated with surgery. An elite surgeon can [tag]transplant hair[/tag] in and around existing natural hair leaving you with more [tag]hair density[/tag] than you started with. Whether or not you are a candidate should be determined by an elite hair transplant surgeon.
[tag]Concealers[/tag]
You may want to consider concealers such as [tag]dermatch[/tag], [tag]toppik[/tag], or [tag]nanogen[/tag], which are applied topically to mask the appearance of loss and add to the illusion of density.
I hope this helps.

Mike, All I can tell you is the ligatures stopped the evolution of hair loss in me. After 32 years, I still have most of my hair, and my crown is a thick as when I was an adolescent. The front did not regrow any hair, but I stopped losing it. Also, the dry, orange, crispy hair I had in the front turned back do dark brown and supple.
Peter are you still following? I would've couple questions about your procedure. Thanks
Lebowski, Minoxidil does not work in the frontal hairline, it only works in the crown. It does not regrow lost hair, it only strengthens weak hairs from male pattern hair loss, giving the appearance of thicker hair. Putting Minoxidil on a bald head is like putting fertilizer on asphalt, expecting grass to grow.
Max, before I had the ligatures, I saw a dermatologist at age 23, and he told me I would go bald back to the crown. Now, at age 55, I still have 90 percent of my hair, and my crown is as thick as when I was an adolescent.
Max, I have some male pattern baldness history in my family. My father kept almost all his hair, but he died at age 50. He had one brother who kept his hair, and one that went bald. My paternal grandfather went bald with old age, but by his sixties, he still has most of his hair. My maternal grandfather died at 61 with a full head of hair, and my maternal grandmother had several brothers, and most of them kept most of their hair through life. So, it's a hit and miss in my bloodlines
Lebowski, if you are thinning in the crown, you also need the occipital scalp arteries ligated. These arteries are on the back of the head. We have three sets of scalp arteries, temporal, auricular near the ears and occipital on the back of the head. The two sets of arteries that feed the top of the head are the temporal and occipital. I had both these arteries ligated, two each.

New treatment for seborrheic alopecia: the ligature of the arteries of the scalp.
Marechal RE.
Abstract
Bilateral ligature of the superficial temporal arteries and of the posterior auricular arteries is proposed as a treatment for seborrheic alopecia. The arterial circulatory dynamics are, thus, replaced by capillary circulatory dynamics. Hypoxia is produced which inhibits enzymatic systems and lessens nocuous action of androgen and lipid factors on the pilosebaceous effectors. The histologic study shows that the production of sebum is greatly reduced and the condition of the hair follicle is strikingly improved.
Minoxidil does not regenerate frontal hairline hair growth, it only works on the crown. I has now been almost 31 years since I had the temporal and occipital artery ligatures, and I still have 85-90 percent of my hair, and I will be 55 years old next month. Ligatures work.
Peter, many thanks for getting back to me and researching into it more. Just want to ask one last question if that's ok.
Do you have a family history of male pattern baldness? Either on your dad/mom's side. Just want to rule out whether you maybe had another form of hair loss when you were a teen. I think I read another post of yours on a different website where you said that your father had a full head of hair throughout his life. In other words, were you diagnosed with androgenic alopecia and this is why you were a good candidate for the artery ligation?
Very best,
Max
Max, I just learned that those scalp artery ligatures are no longer being done. It appears, since hair transplantation has improved so much since that article was published in 1977, cosmetic surgeons have chosen to opt for transplants instead, since they make so much more money from transplants than ligatures. But, I am still living proof that ligatures work.
