First off, great site doc. Very helpful. My question is about hair density and thickness. Say one buzzes their hair, should they expect the density and thickness of the hair to be the same over the whole head or are the backs and sides of the head thicker than the top of the scalp, generally? Thanks, doc! If you’re not balding, the density should be the same all over the head. If you are balding, density will vary with the pattern of genetic balding. Of … [ visit site to read more ]

Reader Experience with Latisse on Scalp
I would like to share my experience with latisse. I am 27. I am prone to balding as we have the genes in our family (father, uncle, and grandfather are bald!). However, I have not experienced any balding since I use propecia regularly (only a half a pill every day or every other day) and also use latisse on my scalp every other 2 days. My hair is...

Using Toppik to Provide More Density After a Hair Transplant
If you don’t have enough density to cover a full Norwood 6 with a transplant, what is your opinion of doing light coverage and then using Toppik and/or other concealers (for life) in order to give the appearance of more hair? I’ve posted a couple cases about this. Those with very fine hair will have a harder time obtaining coverage,... 
In the News – Scalp Cooler for Chemo Treatments
Snippet from the article: The machines work by lowering the temperature of the head and scalp by a few degrees before, during and after chemotherapy.

Latisse on the Scalp? (Video)
Dr uses Latisse on scalp. Here is the youtube link I’d consider this as human experimentation and there is no evidence that Latisse (bimatoprost) grows hair on the scalp. It was FDA approved for growing longer eyelashes, but it is not approved for use on the scalp. Could it work? Possibly, but I don’t know why you’d want to be the...
