I quickly found out hair loss for men is big business. There are 5.5 million hair products for men, many of which are devoted to stopping it disappearing.
A few weeks before my 50th birthday, I went for the magic pill route: Propecia, which costs around £660 for a year’s supply. You need to have a prescription, but apparently it works well at saving hair on the crown of the head.
There was one drawback, though. The tablets can adversely affect your libido.
To hell with it, I thought, and bought them anyway — to no avail. The relentless march of baldness continued. I gave the trichologist approved drops a whirl. All you have to do is rub them into your head. They cost £52 and last six weeks, but they were useless.
Then I discovered a treatment called Nanopeptide Mesotherapy. It involves a ****tail of vitamins and minerals injected directly into the scalp.
It is claimed this stimulates the hair’s natural regeneration process by strengthening it, while energising the follicles to produce long hair shafts.
