Don't like the idea of castration to stop you going bald. ))N_)

T.C. that is a great article thank you for posting it.


His comments on creating a natural looking hairline are interesting. It is in fact impossible to do with 4mm plugs of dark thick caliber hairs............absolutely impossible yet he gives the reader the impression that it's his specialty. After all he has performed the procedure on 10,000 patients.

I also like that marketing technique of offering something most customers would not consider (castration) and then following it up with something that seems more appealing(although in reality it is not)

This is such an important article for others to read because this was in People magazine which tends to give it more validity. Regardless of what you are reading and regardless of the source do not assume what you are reading is true and that applies just as much today. Nothing has changed it that respect.
