Regular Member mixedguy Posted October 11, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2012 There are some new nike ads out where Lebrons hairline looks fixed. Some sources are saying he got hair plugs. Is this the same thing as a HT? I think his new hairline looks good. Glad he did something about it.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted October 11, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2012 Mixed, "Plugs" is a term used to describe the large outdated micro/multi grafts used during hair restoration procedures in the 1970s and 1980s (mainly). However, today, it is still sometimes used (by those unfamiliar with hair restoration) to describe hair transplant surgery in general. As far as Lebron is concerned, I'm not certain!

Hello Mixedguy, I can't be certain...but many onscreen performer I know with that hair texture and styling get away with Toppik and products similar for the camera. Remember much of screen is an illusion. It could be a transplant or just good makeup artistry...check him out in a current half time interview and see what you think then.

Senior Member Icecreamman Posted October 11, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2012 Whatever he did, he does look a whole lot better. That said, I hope he never wins another title again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted October 12, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi Mixed, Sorry to be the bad guy, but I had to remove the outside link. It's against our Terms of Service, so I asked members to simply Google the subject and keep the discussion going. Interesting topic though! It is a bit tough to tell. I think, like Michael pointed out, it may be a concealer, but it is difficult to know for sure.

I don't like the ban of links of this nature, but I really like the "google the subject" tactic which allows the conversation to at least continue in some manner. Note: Posters should keep that in mind when placing a title on a new thread that will get a link removed. Make sure the title will allow posters coming in late to have something they can Google.

Shampoo, Frankly, I don't like removing links that affect a good discussion, but our Terms of Service strictly prohibit outside links of this nature, so I need to make sure the boards are running properly. Altogether, rules like this help keep our network free of hidden promotion and irritating spam. While this is obviously not the case here, I can't pick and choose where the rules are enforced, you know? Again, I apologize if I altered the discussion. I hope it continues!

Senior Member Shampoo Posted October 12, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2012 Shampoo, Frankly, I don't like removing links that affect a good discussion, but our Terms of Service strictly prohibit outside links of this nature Oh I completely understand your position and respect it. Just think it slightly weakens a site that has that policy. I can understand banning links selling something, but for example banning links that provide patients with some news about hair transplants and/or medical research about hairloss just seems rather odd, but I realize all the BS about copyright law, ect.... ps: I can go read the Terms of Service, but since we are discussing it, can a patient post an entire article and just leave the link off? Is that ok? Because if it is....that would allow the exchange of valuable information and encourage discussion.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted October 12, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah, posting links becomes a gray area because in this instance, for example, the link wasn't to a product or hair transplant surgeon, but it's funny to see how internet advertising still comes into play. For example, nearly all sites associated with images of celebrities have sponsors who post advertisements on the sides of the blogging/image portion of the site. On successful sites, many of these ads are based upon browsing tracking, meaning that the ad displayed when you visit the page is catered toward your internet history. If you spend a lot of time researching and discussing hair loss and hair restoration, these ads will be catered toward hair restoration products and services (for example, every time I click on a link or go to a site, all the banner and side ads are for big hair transplant chains) that we have not reviewed and found effective. This means that a link from our site is still leading to a product or service that we've neither reviewed or endorse as safe/effective. I've discussed copying and pasting things with Bill in the past, and in most instances, it's always been fine and left unaltered. Hope this helps!
