Men Are in Denial Nioxin Hair Loss Study A poll of 2,000 men aged 25-50 conducted by Nioxin in the UK found that over half of the men who took part were in denial for two and a half years before finally accepting that their hair was thinning. Most men believed that having hair loss would make them look older (62%) or less attractive (60%). The research also revealed that 49% of those aged between 35 and 50 had never talked to anyone about their hair loss. Nearly one third of thinning men are attempting to disguise it by changing their hair style, while 33% hide their receding hairline by wearing a hat.

Bald Not Sexy Even for Celebrities
A survey of 1,000 men carried out for The Harley Street Skin Clinic reported that only two percent of respondents approved of Prince William’s bald head compared with twenty-seven percent for Bruce Willis, twenty-eight per cent for chef Gordon Ramsay and thirty-five percent for actor Vin Diesel. At only two percent, the heir to the throne was voted the least attractive bald celebrity.

New Hairloss Study
microRNA awakens dormant hair cells
Researchers at N. Carolina State University believe they have found an effective way to promote hair regeneration. Contrary to what most people think, hair follicles do not always die when hair is lost. The research team was able to demonstrate that dormant hair cells can be revitalized using specially cultured DP cells. In the study, shaved mice were injected with 3D DP cells that had been cultured in a spheroid environment that replicated the microenvironment inside a hair follicle. After 15 days, the DP treated mice regained 90 percent of their hair coverage. In comparison, mice treated with Minoxidil got only 35 percent of their hair back.
