The Sexy Side of Hair Transplants
The debate over who has more fun blondes or redheads - is
one that’s been ongoing for years. Likewise, preferences over which is sexier
long hair or short hair on women, or if bald men are in for the season is
something we keep coming back to time and again as a society.
Over time and studies have shown that overall full, thick,
long hair on either sex is most appealing to the wider audience.
If you’re one of many who suffer from baldness, hair
transplant surgery offers a chance to restore your head of hair so you can once
again feel sexy.
When it comes to men, most have said they do prefer a woman
with long hair. In fact, a poll
by Daily Mail Report asked 3,000 men about the style of hair they like most
on women and 43 percent responded long and wavy with another 13 percent
responding long and straight. The men also said they like natural hair
that is slightly messy and pay attention to hair so much that 80 percent
admitted to noticing any changes a woman makes to her hair.
Another survey
done by popular hair brand Pantene in 2011, also uncovered that most men
(87 percent) factor a woman’s hair when judging their overall appearance.
Forty-six percent of those surveyed also indicated that long
hair is the sexiest.
On the contrary, when it comes to men - we have sometimes
seen famous actors making headlines as the sexiest for their bald heads. Even
though not every man who has lost his locks can look like Vin Diesel, women do
seem to accept the look of hair loss a bit more. Still, hair plays an important
role in how women are judging men they choose to date.
A survey by market research firm Kelton for the Unilever
brand Axe Hair was highlighted in an article
by Huffington Post and suggests that college-aged women are using men’s
hair as a criteria for their dating decision making process.
Per the referenced study, 73 percent of women between the
age of 18-24 said they notice hair on men who they will date and assess its
up-keep and look as part of their criteria.
Even if a woman is totally fine with your bald head - or you
could care less what a potential partner thinks about your tresses - chances
are you will feel more confident and sexier if you aren't self conscious about
those bald and thinning spots you see on your head when you’re looking in the
mirror. Take a look into hair transplant surgery, its worth the investigating.

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
