    Default Wait can this actually happen? basic idea..

    I was thinking today, why cant we just grow hair through seeds or sumthing like that?
    I mean i was looking at the grass and well, people fertilize the grass and plant grass seeds and what not for grass to grow.
    Well isnt there a way we can put stuff on our hair to penetrate the scalp, create like a root of hair and just fertilize it and grow hair?
    hopefully im making myself clear here lol this is a wierd concept i was thinking about but is it possible to do so? pretty much just plant somesort of hair seed on the scalp and nourish it?
    Drs? people? thoughts?

    Im not saying plant seeds and watch it grow.
    More like,
    is it possible to spread a cell compound that can penetrate the scalp and evolve into a follicle.

    a different idea would be to take synthetic hairs just like would be found on a wig and dip the ends in biodegradable plastic that would eventually dissolve (maybe over a year) harmlessly into the skin and allow the hair to be shed, mimicking the natural shedding of hair? maybe then they could be strand by strand sewn into the scalp after a local anescthetic is applied. Wouldn't this solve the lack of donor hair problem, I mean, if say someone had this done every time the faux hairs fall out of the scalp? scarring could be minimal if the curved needle was of a very fine caliber?

    But hey, I don't have a PHD...

    That's pretty much the idea behind hair replication. They take hair follicular cells, multiply them, culture them, then implant them into your scalp. That technology is still a good decade away from the consumer market, imo. So, if you're still young, it's possible you can regain your head of hair when you hit middle age.
