Has there been any progress on cloning hair follicles? I don’t want to move the hair around. I simply want more hair.
Yes, yes it's coming. In 10 years.
Just in time for fusion energy?

#12So I spent time living in Istanbul a few years ago. It really was wild. In the touristy areas (near where I lived), you really would see loads and loads of bald guys walking around with stitches on their heads.
If I were bald, I would totally go there and do the same.

I saw a headline about this the other day. I couldn't find it but did come across this article. https://www.zmescience.com/medicine/genetic/lab-grown-hair-f...
No idea if ZME science is reputable at all.

#16Words are truly losing their meaning if its a hack to develop a business.
Hack is being used to get more clicks.

It's interesting to read about.
I visited one of those Bosley places in the US. The pitch came across as very...predatory? It did not inspire confidence. They would only consider scheduling you for the surgery if you could demonstrate that you'd use other measures for a year, meaning finasteride, one of those laser hat things, etc. They did talk about how few surgeons there were that do this stuff well though. Also talked about scalp injections I think?
It's been several years. I just decided to let it go naturally and deal with it.

Could I donate mine to you? Been shaving my head for the last 20 years and I cannot wait for it to stop growing eventually... Seemingly it grows faster every year, as I need to continuously increase how often I trim it, I simply want less hair. Edit: I love that someone downvoted me for offering my hair follicles to a random stranger, downvotes truly happen randomly here :)
You can't donate hair follicles .. it has to come from your own body
