When a person starts to lose their hair they often times can go into a depression state. In this culture, like most cultures, we tend to put a lot of value on how a persons hair looks. The color says something about the person; have you heard the expression fiery as a red head? The length makes a difference with short hair on a woman indicating more physical activities while styled hair indicates a willingness to care for the styled hair. Usually, the hair is the first thing someone notices about a person and it holds a lot of importance.

For this reason it is very important to deal with hair loss in order to give the woman the head of hair she desires. Up until recently the only option was to buy a wig and wear that, hoping all the time that the wig did not fall off at the wrong time. This is now changing and more and more hair re-growth techniques that were originally developed for men start to become available to women. One of these procedures is known as hair implants for women.

Hair implants have been around for men since the 1950's. The original procedures did not turn out very well with the man usually looking like he had just seem a ghost the way his hair was sticking out all over. The micro-surgical techniques were not available to transplant individual hair follicle units so the only option was to cut out a portion of scalp with good hair growth and place it into an incision in the balding area. The result was a bunch of little islands of hair shooting out every which way.

The procedure has now been refined to the point that a surgeon can remove individual hair follicles and then insert them into the balding area of the scalp in such a way that they match the directional growth of the surrounding hair perfectly. This ability to manipulate individual hairs is the only thing that makes female hair implants feasible. Hair implantation works well for men because they usually have very good hair growth at the back of their head. This allows for ample hairs to be transplanted. Women, on the other hand, tend to experience thinning hair over their entire head and thus they don't have a good donor area. This leaves body hair as the only alternative. Luckily, surgeons can now remove individual body hairs and then place them into the women's scalp to fill in the thinning area.
