    My Story

    By PanamaJimmy,

    I was tired of looking in the mirror or seeing photos of myself, because to me at least, it was obvious I was going very thin, maybe on my way to bald. Instead of a cool crow's peak I had a funky gap, and it just looked horrible! Luckily, I have a friend that has been in the hair restoration industry for about a decade that really knows his stuff. He referred me to Dr Glenn Charles in Boca Raton, FL and the Hair Transplant Network had great things to say about his work. He did a fantastic job! It was very low hassle, as far as surgery goes, with minimal discomfort. The only hard part is waiting for the hair to grow in, but once enough time goes by (8-9 months) it really starts filling in, and one yr later there is just a huge difference. I'm very glad I did it!

    I decided on Dr. Glenn Charles after researching on this site, which I found to be extremely helpful! I set an appointment with him to discuss the procedure and felt quite comfortable that he would do a great job. I needed my hairline back and we decided on 1,600 grafts on the frontal lobe and temple. The rest is history.

    I have been taking generic Finasteride daily in order to keep as much of the hair I currently have. I am more confident now in my work and with the opposite sex. It simply takes a great burden, a great source of stress, and throws it out the door!

    An important aspect of maintaining a healthy head of hair, or whatever quantity you currently have, is your diet! This fact seems to be overlooked by many, but if your main goal is to have your hair look as good as it can, then it's best to follow a healthy diet regime.



    Food that is suggested by the experts are as follows:



    -Eat foods high in Vitamin B



    -Flaxseed, containing essential fatty acids (can be sprinkled on cereal)



    -High quality protein foods, especially eggs (but be careful if you have high cholesterol)



    -Up to 50% of your diet can be fruits and vegetables



    -Grains, Nuts, Seeds, Legumes



    -tea made from alfalfa, burdock root, dandelion, and yellow dock

    Supplements can also help your hair maintain a healthy, glossy shine. The most important vitamins for healthy hair are vitamin A, C, E, B6, B12, Biotin, Inositol, and Niacin. A daily multi-vitamin will usually cover these requirements.



    Deficiencies in your diet can cause, gasp, HAIR LOSS, among other things! So, if a decision has been made to invest a substantial sum of money on a hair transplant, make sure that you really stick to a healthy diet to give your new hair the best opportunity possible to grow and thrive. Making sure to get a full night of sleep and regular exercise can also ensure that your hair looks its best.
