You had a thick glorious head of hair, and then you started to notice it was getting a little thin in spots. Then a little thinner and thinner and then where did it all go? If you are faced with this dilemma, let us explore the options.

Hair loss can be an issue faced by men, women and even children. Hair loss can have a detrimental effect on one's self-esteem. You can approach the issue with depression or with zeal to find a solution that you can be happy with. Let us examine some of the options available today.

First, let us put the effect of losing one's hair in perspective. In a survey of 2,338 men by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, more than 1,300 said they would be willing to give up a personal possession in exchange for more hair. Of that group, 26% said they would be willing to give up a stereo system, 21% a cell phone, 17% a laptop and 13% a plasma TV. This definitely shows how men feel about their hair loss.

In the US alone, it is estimated that hair restoration procedures account for $800+ million in sales, mostly to men. You have a couple of choices: shave your head (this takes a lot of guts) or find a treatment to re-grow or replace your hair.
