Hair Restoration
Do you want to restore thin hair or bald spots?
Hair thinning, and baldness are pretty common these days. For me it was a hormone change related to stress on the job.
I experienced:
- Extremely slow hair growth. Shaved about once a month.
- Extremely limited hair growth. My hair seemed to stop at ⅛ in.
- Single bald spot on the top at the back of my head.
- Hairline was pretty much gone.
- Thinning in the front on the top of each side.
- No hairline on the back of my head.
- Back of the head hairline gone.
