A hair transplant is the only way to restore a hairline in the long term, but there are important factors to consider when it comes to its overall success. A hair transplant doesn’t mean that you won’t lose any hair in the future, so it’s essential to consider future hair loss patterns. Even after having […]
The gossip columns this week have been reporting that male model Giorgos Tsetis gave up sex for six years in his quest to keep his hair, after apparently experiencing a low libido as a side effect of Propecia.

The Daiy Mail recently reported on a space-aged helmet that can help to counteract baldness. The rather unusual looking contraption hovers over the crown of the head, held in place by a pair of rather retro headphones! The ‘hands-free hair rejuvenator’ works by firing low-level wavelengths from 21 tiny lasers at the hair follicles, which […]
MP, Nadine Dorries, has become the latest public figure to announce that she is suffering from alopecia, raising awareness of an issue that is becoming increasingly prevalent amongst women.
