It’s already March, and that means spring, great weather, patio drinks, and, of course, March Madness. While all of those upcoming scenarios are worth looking forward to, let’s do a deep dive into March Madness, brackets, buzzer beaters, and… yes… balding. March Madness is arguably one of the best sporting events in the world. 68 college basketball teams battle it out over the course of almost a month to claim one of the most coveted trophies in college sports. But what does that have to do with hair and baldness? Let’s compare ‘em!
Basketball is a sport where you don’t wear hats, helmets, or anything that covers your hair. So if you’re a balding basketball player, especially on national television, you’re leaving it all out there for the world to see. And that may be fine for some people. Others might hate it. Let’s look at some balding basketball players. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Manu Ginobli, Michael Jordan…. They were (or are) either balding or decided to shave it off due to receding hairlines, thinning crowns, or just losing it completely. Unfortunately, we can’t all look at cool as Michael and Kobe. LeBron is trying though, and it isn’t working. His hair plugs that he got a couple of years ago have already given way, and his hair continuously fades. But guys like these play (or played) on live television twice a week in the NBA. They had to deal with their hair loss issues by shaving their head. But there are other options, so let’s put together a bracket!
Probably the most popular or well-known fix to hair loss is minoxidil (or Rogaine). We’ll give this process the #4 seed in our bracket. It can be effective in all types of people, both women and men. It’s a topical treatment in the form of shampoo, and you rub it on your scalp every day when you shower. It helps reduce DHT in your scalp. DHT is the hormone that causes hair loss. It’s a great remedy for hair loss!
Coming in hot at #3 in our bracket is hair replacement! This is a non-surgical method to hair loss that involved wigs. The wigs that Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Fort Worth offers are so realistic that most people can't tell it isn't your own natural hair, even when running their fingers through it! As the name suggests, it is entirely cosmetic, meaning non-surgical. And although at first glance it may just seem like a really, really high quality wig or toupee, it's in fact a one-of-a-kind custom fitted hairpiece carefully crafted especially for you using real human hair.
#2 in our hair loss remedy bracket is laser hair therapy! Last hair therapy uses soft laser light levels to stimulate hair follicles and energize hair, not only reducing thinning and hair loss, but actually helping it regrow! It’s pretty amazing, and it’s also completely painless, safe, and FDA approved!
And finally, the big dog, and the #1 seed in our bracket… the hair transplant. This is a popular one, but it’s more of a last resort kind of procedure. It works great, but can sometimes be a little more money than people are willing to spend. It’s a surgical procedure where we take healthy, full hair from your scalp and transplant it into the balding areas. That hair continues to grow over time and gets you back to having thick, beautiful hair.
There are so many options for preventing or reducing hair loss, and even regrowing hair. Which one of these seeds in our bracket will be your winner and take home the trophy?
