Thinning Hair? Maximize the Hair Line

by Contributing Editor Melina Papadakis

Many men address the issue of severe hair loss by simply shaving their heads. Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, Andre Agassi and other celebrities have made male baldness not only acceptable, but fashionable and attractive.

Women are not so lucky. They rarely want to go the cue ball route when they experience hair loss. The hair restoration experts at Bosley (www.bosley.com) offer a solution: hair line recreation.

Many people do not know that hair transplantation can be very localized. This is particularly true for women who experience widening parts or bald spots behind the frontal hair line. Restoration of the hair line around the face has maximum impact and benefit for most people.

According to Bosley experts, hair line transplantation involves a high level of artistry, since it isn't really a line at all, but a zone in which subtle gradations exist of fine to thicker hairs. "A physician who practices hair transplantation must know the classical rules of facial dimensions," explained Ken Washenik, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Director of Bosley. "He or she must develop a sculptor’s keen sense of balance and proportion and a portrait painter’s sense of refinement in blending and shading."

Dr. Washenik explained how the process is achieved. "To give a soft, natural look, 'donor hair' is removed from the donor site at the back and along the sides of the head where permanent lifetime hairs are found in good supply," he said. "Very fine hairs can be taken from the donor area closest to the temple. We harvest this hair in such a way that grafts of only one, two or three hairs are placed into tiny openings in the scalp along the hair line.  Fine hairs are placed strategically in the front – just the way nature does it – to create a completely natural look."
 

Dr. Washenik added that most hair transplant patients return to work within a few days. After about three months, the hair begins to grow at the normal rate of half an inch per month so that visible results will appear slowly over time. The average hairline procedure can run $6,000-$8,000, depending upon the number of grafts required.

I use a product called Derm Match = http://www.onlyhairloss.com/dermmatch/ - it looks like a pressed powder, and you use a wet sponge applicator that comes with the product. You apply this to your scalp, and you can mix colors to get a good match to your hair color. At $29.95, it's worth a try!
