02 Life Cycle of Loss Your Hair: A Story in Three Stages Grow. Rest. Shed. And Repeat. It all starts with your hair follicles, living skin tissue buried deep beneath your scalp, out of which hair starts to grow in groupings of 1 to 4 hairs. For 4-7 years at a time, your follicles are working continuously, growing hair at a rate of about a half-inch per month. Eventually, each follicle enters a resting stage and the hair stops growing. Finally, the hair is shed from the follicle, which allows a new one to spring up in its place and start the cycle all over again. At any given time, 85% of your hair is actively growing. A normal, healthy head of hair has 100,000 hairs. By the time you ve actually noticed your hair loss, you ve probably lost more than 50%.

Life Cycle of Normal Hair Growth 03 Hair Shaft Made up of dead cells that have no regenerative properties. Anagen Phase When the hair is actually growing. Sebaceous Gland Lubricates and adds shine to the hair. Hair Follicle The living skin tissue from which your hair grows. It determines the characteristics of your hair (straight or curly, thick or thin, dry or oily). Papilla (root) Bottom portion of the follicle that contains the blood supply. Blood Vessels and Capillaries Nourish the root of the hair and feed the papilla. Catagen Phase A short transition stage (2-3 weeks) when hair stops growing. Telogen Phase When the hair is resting. At the end of the telogen stage, the hair shaft falls out and a new strand starts to grow in its place.
04 Greg, 30 When you re on stage, image is almost as important as talent. For Greg, that was a tough realization to make. It took me a long time to fi nally do something about my hair loss. If I knew then what I know now, I would have called Hair Club ten years ago. He turned to Hair Club to help him regain the look he loved. Stage lights beat down on the top of your head. I sweat while I m playing drums, but I never ever have to worry about my hair. With his new look from Hair Club, Greg s playing a new tune. Hair Club is the only thing that allows me to do the things in life that I want to with confi dence.

I knew it was probably inevitable because my grandfather was bald, both grandfathers in fact. And I watched my father go through the process of his hair thinning. I made the call to Hair Club over 15 years ago and it s the best decision I have ever made. When Chris s son began losing his hair, Chris knew it was time to impart a little fatherly advice. I introduced him to the folks at Hair Club. He took the plunge and got his hair back just like I did. In a way, baldness has brought Greg and his father together. I ve always looked up to Dad. If I m going to emulate anybody, it s going to be him. Like father, like son.
06 PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE: DHT Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) DHT attacking hair follicle If you re wondering why you re losing your hair, the culprit is probably the powerful hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the key contributor to the most common form of hair loss in men, Androgenetic Alopecia, more commonly known as male pattern baldness. DHT forms when testosterone combines with the enzyme 5-Alpha Reductase. DHT then builds up around hair follicles and, over time, causes the follicles to shrink. Eventually, the affected follicles stop producing visible hairs on the scalp. Now repeat that with a few thousand follicles, and before you know it, the top of your head is feeling a lot breezier than it used to. So why do some guys lose their hair and others don t? (And why am I one of those guys?) The short answer: Male pattern baldness, genetics, the aging process, stress, poor nutrition and even illness. Your follicles ability to resist the assault of DHT is determined by one or more of those factors.

08 Dr. Jon W. Gaffney, M.D., F.A.C.S. Medical Director, Hair Club for Men and Women Credentials Experience: - Has performed more than 14,000 hair transplant procedures Member: - International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery - American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery - American Society of Plastic Surgeons Board Certified: - American Board of Plastic Surgery The evolution of hair transplants PLUGS Hair is transplanted in much larger groupings (more than 6 follicular units). MINIGRAFTS Hair is transplanted in even larger groupings of 4 to 6 follicular units (16 to 24 hairs). MICROGRAFTS Hair is transplanted in larger groupings of 1 to 3 follicular units (4 to12 hairs). This is technology used in providing coverage in thinning areas, such as the crown of the head. MICROSCOPIC FOLLICULAR UNIT Hair is transplanted as it grows naturally in single groupings of 1 to 4 hairs. This extremely successful method produces fuller coverage, a more natural look and is considered to be the gold standard in hair transplantation.
The Gold Standard 09 Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation The gold standard in hair restoration, this is a surgical procedure that transfers DHT-resistant hair from the lower back of the head to balding areas. Hair transplantation has evolved over the years, producing much better looking results, a more natural look, and fuller coverage. The best option is the cutting-edge Microscopic Follicular Unit Transplant procedure. It s a method at the forefront of hair restoration technology. It produces more natural looking results than older procedures, because hair is transplanted as it grows naturally in single groupings of 1 to 4 hairs. Our network of physicians uses highpowered microscopes to prepare follicular units to be transplanted, minimizing any potential damage to the follicles during the transplant process while maximizing the quality of your results. It s important for clients to know that there are some limitations with this and any hair restoration procedure. The skill of the physician, the amount of hair in the donor region, and a client s expectations all play a factor in the success of the procedure. Above all else, ask questions! Know your doctor. Know their credentials. Come in for a free, private microscopic hair and scalp analysis to determine the best solution for you. Is there a doctor in the house? I decided to work with Hair Club because they give people options ons not a sales pitch for the hair loss treatment of the moment. With an array of treatments to choose from, I can help a lot more patients than I could with just the surgical option.

12 Rick, 57 Confidence is important to Rick. As a motivational speaker and trainer, his job depends on it. Not only do I speak about on-the-job success I want to look successful, too. It s the total picture. Combining a great message with a great look is imperative. But his thinning hair was sending the wrong message. And as he got older, it got harder to ignore it. For once, the motivational speaker himself needed a little encouragement. I had been thinking about doing something about my hair situation for several years. I felt I needed to do something for me. So, he called Hair Club and set up a free consultation with a hair loss expert. Hair Club developed a custom solution for Rick. A natural look, a fuller head of hair, and a much-needed confidence boost. I felt more self-assured. I looked younger. Even more importantly, I felt younger.
