Alopecia is a problem that affects millions of people around the world at some stage in their lifetimes. Going bald or even simply dealing with thinning hair is very distressing since a full head of hair is associated with youthfulness and attractiveness.
People often suffer low self-esteem and a lack of confidence when they notice they are losing their hair. In time, hair loss often becomes very noticeable and makes a person feel old and unattractive.
There are options for dealing with alopecia; these can range from a change in hairstyle to the use of various medicated creams that help reduce hair loss.
Creams such as finasteride or minoxidil can help if you have androgenetic alopecia, but it takes several months to see an effect, and even then, the result is not permanent.
Hairstyles and cuts for balding men
There are some popular cuts and styles today that can be helpful, for instance having slicked back hair or, having a modern-day fade. A fade is when hair is left thick in some areas, such as the top part of the head, and then cut so as to be thinner on the sides of the head.
Fades can vary in how big of a difference there is between where the hair is long versus short. High fades have become more popular recently, and are where there is a sharp contrast between the fade and the rest of the hair. Slicking back the hair has been an option for men for some time, and it can be a way to cover bald spots on the top of the head.
FUE hair transplant surgery
A FUE hair transplant is the best option for most men who have alopecia, especially if it is caused by androgenetic alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia is inherited and involves the hormone dihydrotestosterone. The FUE is a technique that was first developed in the 2000s as an improvement over the old FUT method of hair transplantation.
Having a Turkey hair transplant is an excellent choice for many people, even women can often benefit from a hair transplant procedure like the FUE. Hair treatment clinics in Turkey also often give a free consultation and can give you some options that will help to depend on your particular case.
- Hair transplantation surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that gives good results. The FUE takes about 8 hours to complete; this is because care has to be taken to remove hair follicles without breaking them. Follicular units are carefully removed from the donor site and then grafted into a position where needed. It takes a couple of months but the new hair will grow in and cover the bald spots.
