Are you upset about going bald? You’re not alone. Apparently losing their hair upsets men more than bankruptcy or remaining single in their later lives. But don’t worry, because a new company has just the thing to save you from complete embarrassment.

Recent research has revealed that facing baldness can in fact be more disturbing than facing a life threatening illness, losing a loved one, becoming unemployed, or missing out on the love and affection of your life. As a result, many men can suffer an increasing loss of confidence as balding progresses.

With the intent of tackling the situation to good effect, HIS (Hair-Ink-Skin) Hair has come up with a fairly revolutionary and innovative technique to camouflage baldness, an ultra-unique kind of tattoos.

HIS Hair is a ‘hair’ salon with a difference. Rather than offering you a wig or a comb over, it uses a new technique to disguise baldness – it tattoos hair onto your head. Yes, seriously.

It gives the appearance of a short, cropped ‘buzz’ hair - cut by applying different shades of specifically blended pigments to the scalp to replicate the size, shape and density of micro hairs.

Viviscal is a hair supplement which has received broad attention as a  hair loss and balding treatment far beyond what it deserves.

It has received this attention in part because it has been misrepresented in the media by the likes of Tabatha Coffey and Dr. Oz, to mention but a few.

Whether this misrepresentation has been the intentional marketing goal of the organisation behind Viviscal, I cannot say, however when you read the fine print on the Viviscal website, it makes it abundantly clear that this product CANNOT and DOES NOT treat male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss, or any other genetic hair loss conditions.

The Viviscal website states the following:

"These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

Toppek Hair Fattener is a novel product because it does not claim to regrow hair nor does it stop hair loss.

However, it does the almost impossible, depending on the amount of hair you have left, by making a genuinely convincing cosmetic difference to how thick and full your remaining hair looks.

It must be stated however that this tonic works best with men who have only recently developed pronounced thinning, however what it can't do convincingly is hide an already receded hairline.

Having said that, Toppek has in fact altered the "look" of quite a number of my patients from "balding" to having a full head of hair, and provided them up to two years extra of breathing space where they have continued to live life as one of the lucky men with a full head of hair.

MHT is a specialist form of scalp micro-pigmentation (scalp tattooing). The MHT technique utilizes a range of specifically blended pigments, which when applied to the scalp provide a consistent replication of the size, shape and density of real hair follicles. Founded in the UK , MHT scalp pigmentation effectively gives the appearance of a short, cropped, ‘buzz’ hair cut similar to the style sported by Hollywood star Vin Diesel.

HIS Hair the pioneers of an innovative hair loss treatment for male pattern baldness, alopecia, receding hair lines, hair transplant scar camouflage, increased hair density and concealing balding are now offering their unique treatment in the US.

Following the huge demand for pioneering Micro Hair Technique (MHT) scalp pigmentation, HIS Hair has opened two new clinics in Los Angeles and New York City. HIS Hair’s stylish procedure has been developed to replicate the natural appearance of ‘real looking’ hair and help to restore any lost confidence.

Usually, micropigmentation is tattooing and should be thought of as permanent.

Micropigmentation tends to look better from further away than from close up as the distinct smoothness of the texture tends to indicate something is just not right when viewed close up.

Common problems with micropigmented center on the hairlines, which are often too straight and look unnatural, but this may be a sign of the poor quality of the workmanship, rather than the procedure itself.

As with hair transplantation, creating a low, full, permanent “hairline” on a young man could look terrible after he ages and/or experiences further balding. Remember that your hairline at 20 will naturally be significantly lower down than your hairline at 50, so plan ahead otherwise you could be defeating the purpose.

Apart from the safety aspects of the procedure that apply to the general practice of tattooing, micropigmentation is not for everyone, andits effectiveness as a masking of a balking head depends on:

• the shape of your head,
• the colour of your natural hair,
• your age
• the skill of the practitioner

The choice is yours but you should think of micropigmentation as a permanent procedure that will force you to keep your hair buzzed forever and should plan accordingly. The same rules and guidelines used when designing a hairline for hair transplantation should apply for micropigmentation.
