If you are trying to decide what is the best method to control your baldness there are several options to choose from. You can try some so called natural remedy from Aunt Ida with a lot of secret ingredients like cow manure which wouldn't grow a hair on anything. Or you can try a Toupee', and then experience the embarrassment of it falling off at the most inopportune time. Or you can use one of the new hair growth drugs. These have side effects, though, like birth defects if a pregnant woman even touches the pill with her finger. Lastly, what about some cockamamie light brush that is supposed to grow hair like on Star Trek.

The fact is there is one method that is long lasting and offers a very natural look. Hair implants are that option. The original hair plugs, which were devised in the 1950's, left a lot to be desired. They really did look like someone had plugged a bunch or hair into different parts of the scalp. The new techniques developed over the last 15 years are completely different.

Using micro-transplantation techniques surgeons can now remove hair follicles from areas with excess hair and then implant them into the bald area. A skilled doctor will be able to insert the hair follicles in such a way that they match up perfectly with the existing hair. Also, since the implants come from the head of the patient, it matches the hair shafts surrounding the bald spot so that they are unnoticeable.

The new techniques have now made possible hair implants for women. When a woman develops pattern baldness she also generally develops thinning hair. This made the old process of harvesting hair follicles from a patch of scalp very difficult. This new method of manipulating individual hairs allows the donors to be removed individually from thinning portions of the scalp or even from areas beside the head. Now the dream of hair implants is a reality for many women and they don't have to be embarrassed about losing their hair.

Hair implants are by far the best alternative to having a bald spot on your head. Go ahead and try the other remedies if you want but then come back here and get the real scoop on growing a full head of hair.
