    It depends where on the sideburns, as the lower it goes, it’s essentially beard hair. Have you tried beard hair?

    I think for most individuals that the characteristics of their sideburn hair is closely resembled to their scalp hair, however as Melvin mentioned, where does it transition to beard hair?...undoubtedly, it's going to vary between individuals.

    I think the best way to differentiate is by the degree of coarseness between the sideburn hair and the beard hair as beard hair is usually much coarser.

    I was reading an article online Posted by a Hair Transplant Doctor and he talked about re-building hairline. He was of the Opinion, By Saying that Ideally besides Scalp Hair the best Hair to rebuild Hairline would be Nape Hair but if even that is not available then the attention should shift to Sidelocks he says Sidelocks can have a better Anagen Life (Meaning they can grow as long as Scalp Hair before going into Telogen Phase) But they can be short lived. He said Beard Hair is generally not a good choice because it gives a very Coarse, Wiry look to the Hairline which is not welcomed by many patients. So After Nape Hair and Sidelocks he says next in line would be Chest Hair now the thing with chest hair is they have a shorter Anagen Life but can be Permanent, he said that once the Chest Hair Shifts Position from Chest to Scalp they also tend to change their characteristics and adapt to the same characreistics (Not Texture) As the Scalp Hair, meaning the Life Cycle that they follow.

    Finally he concluded that My Choice of Hair Grafts to build hairline besides Scalp Hair would be Sidelocks But...But..One has to asses individual history and situation and then take a call. If one has noticed Miniaturization in the Sidelocks Area and there has been a family history of people not having Hair near Sidelocks  then it would not be a good choice, then it would come to Chest Hair.

     

    @Melvin-Moderator @gillenator My question to both of you would be if someone says that Chest Hair do not have Longer Anagen Life it only means they will not grown in Length as much as Scalp Hair and will fall soon, but that does not mean they will diminish and never grow back right ? 

    Sideburns Hair Grafts in Hairline Possible or Not ?

    HI Guys,

    So  I am out of Scalp Hair Donor Area. I wish to do some filling up of gaps which are still visible in my frontal hairline.I wanted to know how much doable is the idea of Putting Some Hair grafts from the Side Burns into the frontal Hairline area ? Do they survive ? How is their Anagen Life ? I believe there should be no problem as far as blending in is concerned as they almost resemble the same quality and texture as that of Scalp Hair. 

    Any thoughts on this ?

    I wash my hair everyday, as of late, I've been noticing an increase in sebum, my hair gets greasy, and it looks a lot thinner when it's greasy. I really don't see a problem with washing your hair every day. 

    Same thing is what I have been noticing when I don't wash my hair it looks more oiky and greasy and looks more scanty !

    That makes sense but what about DHT buildup on the scalp? Some people say it builds up on the scalp not sure if that’s true or not? So washing up every day?

    DHT is not something that you can see with your eyes ! So I do not know what you mean by DHT builds up on Scalp ?? It is a Hormone how can you see a hormone with eyes ?? when it acts on your Hair Root it is beneath your Scalp Skin nothing on the surface !! It is not a Injury that you can see with your eyes. Like I said the same DHT which is gonna make your Hair Fall can also do it on daily bais and also whenever you decide to wash your Hair. On the contrary I have also read that infact a good and a clean scalp is also a good skin condition for hair to grow and remain healthy.

    I’ve always debated this and not sure which is the correct stance. When I have shorter hair it’s much easier to skip washing a day, but now that I’ve grown my hair out (I went from after surgery to no haircut in six months), I would prefer to wash it every day.Part of me thinks if DHT builds up on the scalp washing it every day would be a good thing? Although I see many people with no hair loss only wash their hair twice a week. I do use essential oil’s in a spray bottle on my hair after every wash so drying out my hair does not seem to be an issue. Although one thing I hate with lighter hair like myself is when your hair is long and wet it does seem to clump together and the weight of the hair pulls down resulting in showing more scalp but when my hair is dry the density looks near 100%.

    If your question is purely from a stand point that washing daily may lead to more hair fall. Even I have long had this dilemma and what I learnt is it realy doesnt matter how often do you wash your hair, Hair which are in Telogen phase will fall regardless whenever you are washing your hair. So if a hair has to fall daily it will fall daily. If it has to fall after a couple of days it will happen then. I have heard and read Doctors saying washing your Hair should purely depend upon your comfort and convenience, you can do it whenever you want. On a Lighter side I have also seen a video where in the Doctor is giving an example of having Sex, It really doesnt matter when you want to have it, you can do it whenever you want to and how many times you want to !! lol !!

     Video is amazing definitely one of the best in the industry. I do notice he prefers patients with dark thick hair. 
    on a side note that brush I have used, would not use on longer hair. Not a fan of the brush. 

    So but for short Men's Hair it does give direction right ? As in the above video ?

    And yes it is one of the finest results I have seen, and nicely dense packed aswell.

    Do implanted hairs grow before shedding?

    Some of the transplanted hairs will fall out before growing and some will grow a little before falling out. Either way it is not an indication as to whether or not the hairs will grow.

    Dr. Glenn,

    What would you say in my case where all the Hair Transplanted right from the day I washed my hair for the first time have shed ? which was just after 9 days ! Can Hair also shed as early as 9 days ? It is a sign of worry for me ? That I am seeing a reverse pattern that all my Transplanted Hair have shed right on day 9 ?

    Frequency of PRP after Hair Transplant Procedure ?

    Should have been done at the time of the procedure.  This will typically help bring the work in sooner and also help with reversing miniaturization. Did the doctor not suggest this to you?

    But now...you can get started at any time.  How often after that? It depends.

    Do you know how much  they'll be doing?  (a syringe size, or greater)? Call and ask how much blood they typically draw. Do they use anything to bind the PRP?   I will also ask they show you photos of results.  

    The problem with PRP is that only a handful of doctors have found the "right way" of doing things.  Most are getting 0 results.  It's like the old West, every man for himself.  I honestly do not expect any change until everyone comes together to compare notes.

    Yes it was done first time during the procedure just before the procedure and after that after a month they did the second time,  so now going forward at what intervals should i keep doing it and till when ? is what i wanted to know in particular !

    Should You Switcht To Dutasteride For Hair Loss

    You’re correct in that the half life is relatively short. BUT there are a few things to consider:

     

    1. Studies show low doses of even .2mg of a thereapeautic effect in lowering 5 alpha reductase, so after 3 half lives there should be relatively .25mg still in the average patients system

    2. Additional studies show the body makes 5 alpha reductase pretty slowly. After a single dose of 5mg finasteride it took about a week to reach pre fin dht levels.

     

    half life of the drug is only one part of the equation 

    Interesting piece of information, do you have a link which confirms what you are saying ? Just to Confirm ?

    Month Break in Taking Finasteride any Side Effects ?

    What is up with this notion of people switching to every other day on finasteride?   It only has a half life of 8 hours!  That means that every other day you will not have it in your system, including a good portion of the day you took it.  Why would you consider this?  Just reduce to 0.5mg daily instead of 1mg every other day.  

    Are there any readily available 0.5MG of Finasteride in the Market ? I think the Minimum it comes is in a dosage of 1MG to begin with. nothing below that. isnt it ?
