1966kph Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 As it is a form of cosmetic surgery I think the answer is a definite yes. I see hair greed quite often looking round the forum were people have a very good head of hair then go and get what I deem to be unnecessary work done. If you look at the entertainment industry ,Michael Jackson. Barry Manilow',Joan river's, sly Stallone ect ect they look or looked ridiculous especially when insisting they've had nothing done. I think most people would agree that vanity is a addiction that needs feeding just like any other addiction. Have a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member scar5 Posted January 25, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yep, it can be a slippery slide, especially when u consider that no surgery is perfect, either because it fell slightly short of its aims or because its success only highlights other defects that could need doing.

JoeTillman Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yes, it can be. I've known patients that have had hairlines with a density that any young man would be overjoyed to have but they keep looking for that little bump to get the density to their satisfaction. They always find a few spots that "just need a little more". Of course, this is coming from someone that has had 7 strips and 10,000 plus grafts;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted January 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2015 What do you consider to be addicting? I've had 26 hair transplant surgeries so far, but I don't consider myself to be addicted to them at all because I'd love to finally get it finished and not have to do any more, but it's not up to me. I would love to have one or 2 large sessions of 3000 grafts each and be done with it. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

BUSA Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 lol yea that was a pretty good answer and id hav to agree with most of that. but unlike facial plastic surgeons I don't see anyone getting a plastic type look with too many grafts. but we hav all seen the guy that has essentially a full head of hair getting work done to the front to lower the hairline slightly. is that over doing it? IDN maybe maybe not if u have the available donor hair and money to burn.

MIKE Muso, I'd love to hear your perspective about being- or wannabeing - a muso. l dunno if that is ur pic there, but I have to ask.,how do u think a young white guy can renconcile the self-image of rock and roll with balding. The Beatles and Elvis had lots of hair, nothing has changed. Bruce Willis ca n be mach, but never sexy-rock-n-roll cool,. I think the obsession wirh more hts to keep us rock n roll plausible is a dehabiltating curse- but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chrisdav Posted January 26, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2015 IF after one transplant patients gained back fully their entire head of hair with an adequate hairline that they had before they started losing their hair and progression of baldness stopped completely then hair transplants would not be addictive as the objective would be complete. Hair transplants do not give this in almost every case, baldness is progressive and hence people go back for more. Simple as that 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MusoInOz Posted January 26, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hey scar! Yes that is a picture of me from November 2014, hair has grown out quite significantly since. There is a huge taboo regarding hair loss amongst musicians, I have many friends within the music scene suffering from different types of loss although they have no idea of my direct involvement in this industry I try to advise some styling options or medications available. I work as a songwriter and session guitarist also so I have cracked into the market, my former band actually did pretty well travelling the world also. Unfortunately music is also an image, I'd say that I am not to hung up on image and more so just flat out would rather keep my hair muso or not. Some bald or thin musicians: Billy Corgan Phil Collins Michael Stipe Gary Jules Diesel Jeff from Simple Plan Moby Sting is very thin Etc "The road to success is always under construction" :cool: I represent Dr Rahal and the associated clinic as a paid patient advisor.

Senior Member scar5 Posted January 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) There is a huge taboo regarding hair loss amongst musicians, I have many friends within the music scene...they have no idea of my direct involvement in this industry Unfortunately music is also an image, So you have reconciled it..at least to a degree. The fact that you had an HT is very unrock-n-roll, but the fact you have hair is essential. The fact that you work in the vanity industry is unrock-n-roll but the fact that you work as a muso...is. I imagine you are pretty thick skinned. Those musos you list - almost all of them had hair as they were breaking through or even after they got big. I think many people even change their preference of music and their identification to the whole canon of popular culture based on their hair loss. Buzzing or shaving and a guitar do not go together. Once you decide you aint hip-hop, or drum 'n bass - both genres for which a buzzed head is acceptable you might go for incognito nobody who likes pop, which is fine as long as you don't want anybody to notice you. But if you wanna be Jack White, and especially now, seeming rock music is almost dead, you have to look cool. I adored 60s beat-mod culture when I was younger and I never saw a single icon of that era with hairloss. Hair transplants feed on the desperate hope we all have, that a better road might still lay ahead - you just can't sell yourself the brochure of living your dreams in rock-n-roll with a bald head. Just another reason that addiction to transplants is vicious and real. As Noel Gallagher of Oasis once said, "a skin-head just 'aint F'&&'n rock 'n roll" Unfortunately, i haven't found a musical genre that suits a buzzed head with giant hair transplant scars or a lame grown out look with a balding crown that the babes dig.

Senior Member voxman Posted January 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2015 As a musician, and as one who grew up in the 60's, I can unequivocally state that hair is still totally important to me - especially since I am still performing onstage. I am going to go down fighting and not surrender to the backwards baseball cap or beret look to hide a balding pate. Every time I see a guitarist with a hat on , I know HE'S BALD!! Phooey on that. HT not Rock and Roll? It's like putting a big sock in your crotch - come and prove me wrong!:cool: I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Senior Member scar5 Posted January 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2015 As a musician,...... I am going to go down fighting and not surrender : David Crosby ..prematurely balding, in 1969, sings, "Almost Cut My Hair" with almost religious and 'heavy man' hippy zeal. Davud Crosby .....2015.. .at 70 something, looking like Benjamin Franklin's grandfather, still sings it...and pretty well too. That is something that means stoic defiance to his fans and a generation, and at his age, younget people probably give him cudos. But there are millions of Crosby-wannabes, talented, that stay in the garage because their freak flag isn't working properly. Respect Voxman, foe not giving up. I guess yoi play through a vox amp, which makes u particularly 1960s and unbald.Cyril Jordan's wig isn't good, I suspect he knows it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MusoInOz Posted January 29, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hey Scar, You are spot on, I have thick skin....and hair now haha. I am quite well known as a session player down in Oz so some people have been advised to my procedure. I was not in a bad way prior so they shrugged it off, I am 31 years old however look about 18 so that helps, HL does not. Voxman! Play a vox? I am a two rock guy. Music and hair go hand in hand, sad but true. It will likely not change for some time. Rock music will never die!!!! EDM is definitely taking over.
