NO MORE COMBOVERS—HAIR RESTORATION THAT WORKS

• Friday January 6, 2006 in: Hair Tag(s):
  Ah yes...the combover, that distinctively ineffective hair loss solution invented by a father and son in Orlando who came to the drunken realization (true!) that if you grew your hair long on the sides you could comb it over toward the top of the scalp and nobody would ever know you were suffering from hair loss.

  Unfortunately as everyone seems to know, except for the person using the combover, it never works.

  Combovers hide only one thing...the good sense of the person using them.

  By using FDA- approved medications like Rogaine or Propecia you can avoid anyone ever confusing your hair with the 'Donald Trump' look.

  Just ask retired National Basketball Association (NBA) star Karl Malone.

  See, during the 1998 NBA championships, Chicago guard Ron Harper was overheard shouting "Rogaine!" to a bald-headed Malone everytime he touches the ball.

  Maybe Harper thought shouting the name of this drug may psyche Malone out, take him off his game.

  The Bulls won the championship of course but Rogaine's role is debatable. Still this drug has its uses.

  Rogaine, medication once used to lower blood pressure, works for most patients in reinvigorating damaged and shrunken hair follicles-something that no combover can do.

  And Propecia, that prescription hair loss pill originally designed to deal with an enlarged prostate, has proven very effective in blocking the hormone in the body that causes baldness.

  Of all the hair restoration techniques it is perhaps the hair transplant that resembles most the combover.

  They both share the idea of using hair on the sides and the back of the scalp to disguise hair loss but that's where any similarly ends.

  Hair transplants work because they actually transfer this healthy donor hair tissue into the areas in need of rejuvenation to create a natural and full head of hair. A result that even the best combover can only aspire to.

  
  So just like Mr. Trump says, make sure to tell your combover "You're Fired!" and invest in a hair restoration technique. Your hair will thank you.
