Balding men offered hope of waking their 'sleeping' hair

I've never read a figure lower than 80% in regards to Fin efficacy

usually it's 80-90% of men who either slow down or reverse MPB

[chrisis]

people need to understand that unfortunately Fin doesn't work for many, not even for maintenance

or even if it might work there are side effects they can't tolerate.

Prince William looks mostly like a diffuse thinner. Even now, a significant amount of his hairline is still intact. He would have been a perfect candidate for fin maintenance....why did he not go on meds years ago?

Maybe he had side effects? Maybe he doesn't believe in screwing with his hormones to fix something that isn't life threatening? <- that is sort of how I feel right now and why I stopped taking the fin. No need to risk something, regardless of its low percentage, if theres really nothing wrong. We'll see how I feel when she's a lot more thin heh

...and if his hot wife doesn't care maybe he can get over it.

"Dr Bruno Bernard, head of hair biology at L'Oreal"

This IS the L'Oreal treatment. L'Oreal have a big advertising budget, so expect to hear more about this.

I have to say that despite all the flak Cotsarelis has been getting on forums like this, it's his discoveries that are driving almost all the new treatments we're hearing about.

It all comes from his discovery that bald scalp still has as many stem cells as non-balding, and that those cells just aren't being activated. First PGD2, now this stuff. I don't personally believe this will work but the theory is solid - look for a way to coax the stem cells into hair cells.

And it's coming quite fast - that original discovery wasn't very long ago.

I honestly believe for the next generation baldness will be a choice (and then swiftly lose its stigma). I'm just afraid it'll be too late for us guys and girls.

gho now, loreal later...... if you're nw7... get a few gho treatments and shave your head until you're done all of them, or until something comes out

Why not? It would be awesome if he embraced it and styled it so it didn't look bad. It would be a wonderful thing to help do away with the public stigma in general.


Kinda like the whole sports figures bringing about the light beer revolution.

You are spot on Pate. Spot on. I too hope it won't be too late for us, currently balding men and women...

Interesting timing of the article, with l'oreal gearing up to release their 'treatment' of this hypoxia thing. Is their a scientific paper of his findings on the net?

Is their a chance he is on the l'oreal payroll?

a bald prince? That will never happen. He should have just gotten a wig before his hair loss became noticeable

That photo of Prince William is terrible.

He really needs to buzz it down....

Everytime I read about stuff like this I imagine that the reaction would be the same for people who were suffering from something that was cured back in the 80s.

Transplant the problem to now and the people to their own forum and as things progress they keep getting bits and bits of news of this and that that may be a solution.

They give up a little hope each time a new hope is brought up. Eventually something clicks and it all comes together.
