• Beyond Facebook: The Future of Social Networking For The Hair Transplant Community Is Here

  In Hair Loss, Hair Loss Treatments, Letters From Listeners / By The Bald Truth / 3 May 2009

  Whether you are a fan of online social networks or not, the truth is they’re enormously popular for one simple reason, they make it easier for people to connect and share information. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, the likelihood of you being a member of at least one online social network is pretty high.

  We first became involved in hair loss social networking when our sister site, The Women’s Hair Loss Project (WHLP) launched it’s all female hair loss network in January 2008. Today, The Women’s Hair Loss Project site and Social Network is the most recognized site in the world for women suffering with hair loss, and ranks #1 in Google and Yahoo. WHLP has been featured in several publications and by media outlets including the New York Times, The The Atlanta Journal Constitution, and MSN.com. Dermatologists from around the world are now recommending The Women’s Hair Loss Project to their female patients as a place to find support, compassion and understanding from those who can relate to their suffering most, other women dealing with hair loss.

  As the first and most successful online social network in the hair loss industry, The Women’s Hair Loss Project Network pioneered the concept of niche social networking in our field. While others have attempted to duplicate the Network, even utilizing the exact same software, The Women’s Hair Loss Project has been the only hair loss focused social network to experience such mainstream success.  We are proud that our sister site has made such a groundbreaking splash and have been inspired by this success to create an online social Network for a niche community as well. We are proud to announce the launch of  HairTransplantCommunity.com!

  HairTransplantCommunity.com is the first and only social network dedicated entirely to surgical hair restoration. This community is a safe and empowering place for hair transplant veterans, physicians and those considering hair restoration surgery to share their experiences, their struggles, their strength and their hope with others who understand. Share your hair transplant journey through video, blogs, and photos. Hairtransplantcommunity.com is your personal hair restoration network! I look forward to seeing you there.

  Click To Join The Network!

  Sincerely,
  Spencer Kobren

   

• HELP! What Can I Do When I First Notice My Hair Loss?

  In Hair Loss / By Steve Gillen / 9 April 2009

  

  When you look in the mirror, are you beginning to lose that appearance of volume in your hair? Is your hair beginning to look flat in spite of the blow dryer?  Do your temple points seem to be retreating southward?  And where did all this hair in my sink come from?!  Sound familiar?

  It could very well be the first signs of genetic hair loss that the medical community may diagnose as Male Pattern Baldness or commonly referred to as MPB.  The medical term is ” androgenetic alopecia.”   The term “alopecia” is simply a word for hair loss and there are in fact multiple forms of it.  But for men, especially younger men in their late teens into their early twenties, it’s almost always confirmed as MPB.  Why?  Because it exists in either their maternal or paternal side of their family history.

  What can I do when I first notice my hair loss? Well the first thing to do is not to panic.  The first signs of MPB can be psychologically devastating especially to younger men and to women in general.  Yes, you read that correctly, women too.  DHT can be deposited in their scalp sebum as well, and their hair follicles can be potentially receptive to the hormone just like men.

• The Maximum Hair Results are in: Women Want Men With Hair!

  In Articles, Hair Loss, News / By The Bald Truth / 30 March 2009

  As if we didn’t already know this, apparently women searching for love on the net are five times more likely to go for the guys with good hair than for those who are losing it, a recent study revealed.

  The UK company Maximum Hair, not currently recommended by the AHLA, conducted an interesting social experiment that helps to solidify the notion that hair does matter to women looking for Mr. Right, or “Mr. Right now.” 

  The two month experiment entailed posting two profiles on various well known internet dating sites. The pictures were identical images of the same man,  except one image was photoshopped to make the guy appear to have a receding hairline.

  Both profiles were identical as well, stating that this 30 year old male was a professional living in London with interests in music, travel and athletics.

  The profile with the full head of hair pulled 108 responses while the balding twin profile received 22 responses. One thing that wasn’t noted in the experiment was the attractiveness level of the women who responded to either profile. Read more ›
