Hair can grow from nearly every parts of the human body. Hairs grow out of hair follicles and they can be as densely packed as 100 follicles per cm². But for men in particular, hair follicles can stop growing on the head. Greg Foot explains how hair transplanting works by relocating active hair follicles from other areas of the body and how the process has evolved since it's beginnings back in the 1950s.

hair loss sucks
Ree Gold especially if you are in ur 20s
Yes it really sucks in your 20s :( I hate it. At least hair transplantation offers some what of a solution.
Ree Gold it doesn’t have to guys. It’s all about your thinking.
Daniel Sadjadian you don’t need a solution dude. You got everything you need.
Ree Gold welcome to the team bruh
I’m 23 and losing my hair is killing me. There’s just no other way to put it than it’s just absolutely killing me and can feel like I’m suffocating on the inside. It’s humiliating. Nature has singled me out and I have to suffer through this now while all my friends and guys my age still get to have their hair. I feel depressed a lot of the time because I know my life would be so different today if only I had a full head of hair. People tell me to just wear a hat? Ya ok wear a hat at work at home during sex, in a fancy restaurant, in class (teachers tell me to take it off) and the people who tell me to accept it are always either girls or people who still have hair, it’s so unfair. It kills me that despite being 2021 there still is no real solution for this. I can’t accept this, I just can’t. Losing hair in your early 20s is such a painful experience. Why can’t there just be a real solution to this, just why. Why why why why why. So cruel, I’ve tried everything.
What about investing in a good wig? Some of them look 100% natural
There IS a solution. Hair transplants. I did it. So glad I did!
Im 23 too and having the same issue, im making the jump and grabbing a hair transplant before it gets too bad.
Biotin pills my man there natural hair growth vitamins 1 a day
You'd think there would be some medicine for this by now. Pills or some hair regenerating topical solution. You could invest in a good wig, there are people who wear wigs every day and you'd never know! I have a similar insecurity with my head, but I'm too insecure to say it, even here. Wigs can be glued on so that they don't fall off. You could also get a strip of hair glued only in the spot where you're losing hair, I've seen hairdressers perform it. Looks totally natural!
Well fellas, if breast implants are widely acceptable and women can spend said money to feed either some form of insecurity and or just something they wanna do to feel better, than I see no difference in men choosing to take up something that (IMO) is worse than breast size issue because at one stage we all had hair (Unless genetic issues) And for some men, it was like watching a limb slowly die off and we had no power to stop it. If you can afford it and want it, go for it.
Losing your hair is like losing your license to feel attractive
Lionel Hutz Hahaha that's so accurate!
gutz1981 yes 100% accurate
I want to say thank you for standing up for man 😊
Lionel Hutz true, but some guys don't sport the bald look very well. Some do. Those of us that don't, need options.
It's not ok. I lost confidence even tho everyone around me says I suit it great. My girl loves it. I don't.
I love my hair so I grow it out to my shoulders, parting with it would be a major hit to my confidence as well
I know that feeling.Losing hair sucks :(
At lease you have a girl, mate.
BardockThaRawest 95% of men, at some time or another have to part with it. Like the video says, baldness is an evolutionary sign of masculinity. However, if you want to prolong this, the point is to do something about it when you notice the first sign....easier to keep, easier to maintain. Seriously guys, look at platelet rich plasma therapy...
face it.. embrace it.. be happy with what you have
i think pubic hair to scalp transplant is the future for getting that afro hair look you've always wanted to have.
theuncanspan 😂😂😂😂
They have already started offering that service in India. They remove from the pubic area onto the scalp and eyebrows.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
A year ago I figured out my hairline started receding. Out of panic, I started to browse treatment possibilities across the web. Now I don't care as much anymore about my hair, but I am now very well informed about this subject. I am not so interested in having hair transplant, but what the medical professionals and scientists had broken through recently amazes me.
Fariz Adnan They Will Find Something Very Soon 🙏
@@t7835 I mean....they have it now, this video explains one of the ways. There's also DHT treatments that block DHT (something that works a lot better than finasteride.) Then there's the stem cell research that regrows hair follicles , not just promotes growth. This has all been done within the last 2 1/2 years.
MidnightAtarian is that safer?
@@MidnightAtarian what is it? RU and numbers or what?
The ad that played before the video was for cream that removes hair for women, lol
LMAO
Mine was a hair transplant hospital found in Istanbul
😸😸😸
Mine was a dude trying to get me to workout. Seems like a sign to me tho lol
Mine was a woman trying to set me up with other women.
There's still 100 questions I could ask about hair transplants.

Hair loss affects people completely differently. For most losing hair isn’t really a problem, although for others it may result in psychological & emotional issues. These issues are often connected with how we think others perceive us, and is more often the case for younger men and women who are thinning.
Means those who are weak can get hair loss?
So please tell me the method of becoming healthier
@@apnachannel3040meditation helps tremendously
@@apnachannel3040i can give u my number or insta if you want more help
I did FUT and FUE,I highly recommend the FUE procedure,No scars and looks more natural
Same. I've had both. FUT was painful for a couple weeks after. FUE hardly at all.
Love how clear the explanation is here! Thanks for creating this video.
0:28 "Hair differs all over the body, but the way it grows is pretty much the same."
6:24 "As I said before, hair grows differently in different parts of the body."
I think what he mean is the biology way in chronical order is pretty much the same, the latter is just saying the shape and form of hair are different from each part. You need to pay attention to the examples follow by the claim rather than the claims themselves.
@@dishsoapsasha9869 I was getting ready to type something very similiar but you said it.
a relative of mine did this back in the early 90s. didn’t tell the family, he just came home one day with a bandage around his head and everyone figured it out. To this day he never ever ever let me touch his hair and I never seen him wear a had. I’m slightly convinced he got a little hair piece or he really paranoid of losing his hair. but all in all he looks fine
Can listen to this guy for hours
My hair started thinning out and losing hair when I was 16 I’m 21 and my hair is not getting any better so hopefully I can do something like this
Stop being stressed, exercise, sleep well, diet well, and hydrate and get blood work done to see what else u are missing. could help with it
Thank you so much for sharing educational content regarding such an important matter as hair loss. I'm positive many will come to this video because they've started their hair loss journeys and will find guidance.
My hair migrated due to gravity, it left the front-top to now grow on my beard. And I simply shave my head; way cheaper, cleaner and fresh in the Summer.
erdvilla preach brother preach

That's great for you but my head is so big my mother had to have a c-section and I had to wear v neck shirts or button up shirts because I couldn't wear normal shirts
Without my hair I look like a grey alien

I have progress on my channel of my hair transplant and i must say it’s such a game changer! i’m so glad i went to turkey for mine😌
Which clinic did you go?
I love how u present everything....cool vid
Best thing I ever did was get a hair transplant, blogging it on here also gave me a confidence boost
where did you get it if i may ask?

Was anyone thinking of Wayne rooney

YES, no. Not really 😄
he got a good one
expensive i recon
Wasn’t my main focus but he did come to mind
@@UnHoLyHooLiGaN Elon musk.
Nice video. It's good to see people educating others on the subject. It's not without it's inaccuracies though, which I guess is to be expected, since you guys are journalists and have to go with the information you are given. For example, no transplant takes 18 months to grow. On average, a hair transplant takes 10 months for us to see the "final" result.
I was born with a bald spot right on the top of my head. I’m 14 and everything’s in balding but I’ve always had it. I have to use a comb over and am hoping to get a transplant soon
What happens to the area where the hair is removed from? And once the new follicle is placed, does it grow for ever? Or does it fall out?

Are these really the best options available right now? This seems like midieval technology compared to what we can do with genetic engineering, stem cells and body imaging. Especially considering how much demand there is for a better technique it's amazing one doesn't exist.
@@account5223 dude, are you saying that stem cell therapy for hair loss has been developed ?
It isn't a problem for women , that's why the best treatment isn't around 😂
I'm not bald, I can still grow a lot of hair with no signs for loss of hair. I'm just seeing the options for the inevitable baldness in the (hopefully) far future. Lol.
You don't need to look in to the future for hair growing gadgets. You can try Theradome hair helmet if you want to grow your hair without any surgery. For more information you can visit the you tube channel of theradome. czcams.com/channels/SovEe58G5R4SD8fQy0keIg.html
The principle in hair transplantation techniques is to redistribute hair from the donor area (an area extending from the back of the head through to above the ears) to the recipient area of the scalp where the hair is lost.
Greg doesn't grow hair. He grows perfection.
Great video! We will use it to educate our potential patients.
It could only been better if David Attenborough had narrated it! :)
Im only 25 and i started going bald at age 21 . At first i hate it but when i just embrace what it was . Im more happy and wanting no hair growing on my scalp anymore ..
Anyone actually had this done, how did it turn out, how much did it cost
It took me 2 hrs to do my hair everyday before school to sculpt it perfectly and get every hair in perfect place 😂
Great coverage (pun intended) & you look fab!
YOU GOT TO BE A REALLY STRONG PERSON TO ACCEPT A BALD HEAD..IF YOU DON'T HAVE GREAT PERSONALITY OT A BEAUTIFUL BODY ...BROTHER .... YOU AINT GOING NOWHERE ...
A random guy in the internet: "(...) to get an idea take a look at your own hair and see how densely packed those follicles are."
90% of people watching this video: Am I a joke to you ?
Great and informative video.
I have the issue of scar tissue being on my head and hair doesn’t grow
I heard you say a reason for hair loss could be scar tissue I was like omg yes I know
fuck thats what happened to the corner of my head when i had dreadlocks ):
I'm subscribed to Masdak. I learn everything I need to know from there.
Is there a way to donate hair roots or things like that?
Theirs has to be another way... if the follicle is turn off, it can be turn on...one day this mystery will be solve 💯
joshua Jeemiah we need to solve this mystery!
lmao
Q Tip CALM. DOWN. NOW.
@@EddyA1337 No you
rude
I have a diamond shaped head (top of the head is narrow) and I use my hair to add mass and balance, but my hairline has been receding over the past 8 years. I’m literally only 22 and I’m freaking out. The bald look would NOT look good on my narrow head.
video starts at 2:14
The team at the hair transplant lab were skilled and professional. I'm happy with my decision
We’re did you go? I want to go turkey
I can't take it on how he jumps so much...sorry ahahah
Just buy a cap and save yourself 😂😂
Im curious, if we can use a tattoo machine and converter it to a hair tranplanter would this make the procedure easier?
My hair up top is ok but I have a huge forehead. Will this work for a receeding hairline?
I am having male pattern baldness due to DHT. So if I go for hair transplantation, how long the new hair follicles will survive with the DHT? Please give clarity on this point.

Great video. 👍👍
I really don't understand peoples reluctance to get hair transplants. . Hell I'm 56 and got one and I'm AMAZED how good they can do it now.
Its so damn easy. I got mine in Mexico for $3700.00 Hotel included. I had to pay for the flight so total was about $4500.00. BAM, I have a full head of hair. I think most people are afraid theirs will go wrong and will look like some kind of freak. NO. These people are very professional.
Did it change my life? No. I haven't really noticed me turning more womens heads or anything but then I'm 56 right?..lol . For me it was mostly personal. I LIKE having hair. I like combing which ever way, parting it on the side, or straight back.
Mostly I want it for when I'm really old. I've never seen a good looking OLD man who was a cue ball.
Good one
Thanx
But it's too costly
you would make a great storyteller
So why not clone ourselves and take it from the clone ohh wait that was a movie
MaXx • because your clone would be bald BECAUSE IS EXACTLY LIKE YOU
We can grow human tissues without a complete clone
We could grow hair transplant patches
No need for cloning
Why not transplant pubic and armpit hair? You get a natural brazillian while getting a full head hair. Win win
@@acash93 That is answered in the video.
I’d take my clone’s knees too.
And if I ever start having alopecia I would pubic hair because it grows thicker and longer.
Great Video .. many Greetings from my German Hairtransplant Chanel
So that means i can change hair texture from straight to curly too?

I had fut three times and I love it...FUT best if a lot of hair is needed ...FUE leaves a lot of pimply scars ..not the best... the fine scar line in fut is best and less noticable
anyone got any info on stem cell hair regrowth?
Yes.
We're still 2-4 years away with stem cells imo

@@lionelhutz5137 Hello from 2019, just wanted to let you know you were correct.
my dads done this and i can’t look at him due to my trypaphobia cuz after the transplant it leaves the head looking spotty
I need one.
Ty
In India, in some places you can get it done for 50 INR per unit. That will be 50 pence or 0.5 GBP per unit.
Anyone know of these transplants ever grown out to say shoulder or elbow length?
I had a hair transplant 8 months ago. The hair turns up nice (not perfect). Luckily in my country it costs 'just' USD 1 per hair, so not too expensive. Now I am no longer balding, but my bank account is a bit bald as a result 😅. That's said, I might go for a second 'touch up' session just to polish thing a bit. For those living in expensive country to do hair transplant, you might want to travel a bit to get far cheaper price. I am in Malaysia, but I heard Mexico and Turkey is pretty cheap too.
Interesting. Hair from my back to my head would solve 2 problems at once.
Can someone explain what helps to the are where the hair follicle has been removed? Does that mean that you have no hair growth there?

I’m not familiar with this channel so I was getting so stressed wondering what those numbers were in the top corner til I read the bio 😅😅
I’m a hair transplant technician, I do this for a living. FUTS and FUES if anyone has any questions feel free to ask
Isn’t there then a huge bald patch at the back of your head?? They take the follicles out so it’s not like ur body can make new follicles themselves
They close it up and stitch it together so if your heal correctly it would just be a thin line that won’t be noticeable when your hair grows out. But so tired it doesn’t heal right and it could be very noticeable
Thumbnail is Mr. Grady!
i got fue done , best decision of my life
Soccer player Andres Dalesandro brought me here. Dude was half bald his entire career. Now retired and rich he has a nice head of hair
hair transplants leave either a major strip scar in the back of your head. Or, they leave little dot scars from FUE/punch type hair transplant. Plus hairs plucked from other parts of your head don't grow out in the same direction as where it's being transplanted to. Plus not all transplanted hair stays. In some cases it doesn't 'take'. On top of that the process is over a year, and hair will fall out after transplanted, and 'should' in most cases grow back in. Also, not everyone is a candidate for transplants. If you have 'fine'/not coarse hair you most likely are not a candidate b/c your donor hair is not thick enough. Plus forget about shorter hair cuts on the sides and back to expose scaring. Other options are wigs (which can be very good), or SMP, which when done right looks really good. But, males wigs cary a stigma, even though not as bad as it once ways. I believe someday, unless a cure is found people will accept man wigs more as it's just like fake teeth that so many people have these days. As long as it looks good.
Nice and important
Us men lose hair on the head but get more on the body. Should be the other way around.
7:12 or wear a hair system.
Will the folicle that was removed in the donor area regrow any time in the future??
No
Nothing wrong with having a hair transplant. Make sure you research thoroughly.
I have faults, but one thing i have thats good is hair. Im 55 and barely a gray hair and no hair loss either. My head should be studied!! Lol
You and Tom Cruise!
So out eyes can grow hair?
My hairline be like ______---_______
I have an inverted widows peak
wait so can doctors put nipples on my forehead?
Indeed bro. I just had that done. Looks awesome.
Yeah baby
Yeah, but you might look like a bit of a tit.
With which hormone deficiency cause hair fall ???????????
If people wanna get hair transplant then go for it and give yourself the confidence
I’m a 16 year old girl and I hate my receding hairline. It’s so far back and I can’t stand it but there’s more to worry about in life than hair I suppose
Why does the hair on your face, ears and in your nose grow like hell, but not on your head?
Damn.
I came for Wayne Rooney
Why don't we use DHT inhibhitors??
my hair is ok, tho I do a PRP session every once and a while, my real problem was my beard was barley there just a mustache and a goatee...
beard became trendy, and I quite liked it tbh... it was very similar to this, but instead the implanted the hair in my beard... I think I got like 2000k-2500k grafts.
best decision ever... I did in Turkish clinic called natural, these things are much cheaper in Turkey, and I was on a budget.
what about stem cell theraphy
SOMEONE GET NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR MEN'S HAIR PLEASE!!!
Minoxidil, dht blockers, enzyme cleanser, everything that you need to grow hair back
You can't grow hair if there's no follicle
I’m 14 and it’s already starting
daaamn that must suck
same
I feel your pain, it started for me when I was around 16... now I'm 24 and its fine round the sides and back but the top is not very nice. Need to get a transplant at some point. Just hang in their and use Regaine (if recommended by your doctor), it should help reduce the hair loss until you are old enough to have a transplant.
Im 14 and my hair is fine
Wtf. You're a failure
I injured my scalp now I have a stupid scarred bald spot 😣
What is the hosts name
crops, like corn etc. are only as good as the ground fertility as they are planted into
This vid isn't ENTIRELY accurate.. The hair follicles do not simply drop the hair, and not regrow anew... They actually get smaller and smaller.. The hair is still there, it's just been transformed into peach fuzz.
In my opinion a hair transplant won’t stop you worrying or being self conscious about hair loss. Just shave it off guys and be a boss. You’ll end up more confident. Not to mention the hefty sum you will save yourself.
People should really change their opinion about wigs. Wigs are great, most of the time looks better than real hair, and wigs should become just as normal as going to a hair saloon for a haircut. Instead of wasting all those resources on perfecting hair transplant technique, jsut focus on making better wigs, people.
People would rather have a viable long term solution (transplants, stem cells, hair cloning etc.) rather than an artificial or unreliable quick fix (finasteride, minoxidil, wigs etc)
Wigs aren't real though, people want real hair, wearing a wig is just like wearing a hat and it's embarrassing for most people.
Sorry, no. A wig is like wearing a mop on your head. Plus that dreadful feeling when you have to take it on and off each night, cloaking and revealing the real bald you. I'd rather go bald than wear a mop.
No they shouldnt. Wigs are fake. Fake is dishonest. Dishonesty is bad.
