Why is ScissorBoy shaving his hair...

Posted at 7:27 AM • No Comments

The short answer… I’m having a Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment because of wearing a pony tail and imperfect genes (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself).

For anyone who has known me, I’ve had a pony tail for the majority of my adult life. Some people said they loved my hair long, others have been trying to get to me cut it off completely. I myself never liked having a pony tail. It just kind of happened. For me it was easier to pull it back in a pony tail than deal with it being short and frizzy and out of control.

But 15 years of pulling your hair back into a tight pony tail is not good for your hairline. I wish someone told me this earlier! My forehead has been growing out of control and on the march to the back of my head. This is not the kind of progress I was looking forward to.

In November 2010 a hairstylist friend of mine (Dar from hairbydar.co.uk) introduced me to a Doctor that had developed a hair restoration technique which involved a process to take hair stem cells out of the back of your head and plant them in areas where you want to grow hair. Sounded good to me.

After meeting with the doctor and clients that have had the procedure I decided to have the procedure done on myself. Not only that, I decided to go one step further and also film and document it being done for a special episode of ScissorBoy TV (the online TV series for hairstylists that I started more than 2 years ago.)

This stem cell hair loss treatment was developed by Dr. Coen from Hair Science Institute. He had originally created this process to treat burn victims that had lost there hair and had not been able to cover their scared tissue with other forms of cosmetic surgery but was soon bombarded with men wanting to put hair back on their head.

Join me over the next several days and weeks as I give you a complete report of my experiences with this new procedure and how its solving my biggest worry of dealing with a receding hairline.

By the way… If you are thinking this is a hair transplant you are wrong. This is COMPLETELY different but I’ll explain all that in another video.

Snip Snip!
