You have surely heard about a clone before. Remember that movie Multiplicity where Michael Keaton had multiple clones of himself? If not, go check it out because it’s a good old movie.
Enough about movies, let’s talk about cloning hair.
Most products, procedures, and treatments on the market for hair loss are either to help prevent additional hair loss by slowing it down with hormonal drugs or moving your existing hair around your head with surgical procedures that transplant your hair from one place to another. The problem is that you don’t have more hair. Your hair is just moved from one place to another.
Cloning is a bit different. The idea is to extract hair follicles that are healthy (the ones on your head in areas that are not balding) and then multiple or clone them. The newly produced multiplied cells that have been cloned are then injected back into your scalp where they would grow as normal and produce healthy hair.
This idea is very nice, but it is far from proven and even further from being available on the market. Researchers are busy trying to prove hair cloning works. For now it’s an unproven idea that may or may not be available in the future.
