Men of all countries and races have shared the tragedy of premature hair loss for thousand of years, always looking for a cure. Hair loss seems to affect us more in recent times considering the fact that it is a highly competitive and youth oriented society.

The main cause of baldness is heredity. It has been proved that male pattern baldness /or Androgenetic Alopecia is directly related to genetic pedigree, male hormone and age. Some men have baldness only in the front or at the vertex, while in others it is more severe. But, no matter how extensive the baldness, there is always a "Horseshoe" shaped wreath of permanent hair at the back and sides of the head. Scientists have found that these hairs are genetically programmed to resist the effect of male hormones which caused hair loss. Such hairs when transplanted into areas of thinning or bald areas continue to survive and grow. This forms the basis of hair transplant.
