Balding could be reversible

Filed under: Hair Care, Fashion, Hair, News, Stylish Living

Hair loss is a touchy subject for most men. But scientists in Pennsylvania may have found a cure for baldness.

Relax, fellas, the new cure doesn't involve sprays, comb-overs, or transplants from your back. This revolutionary treatment regrows hair through gene therapy. Scientists found that hair growth is actually connected to the "wnt gene", which is responsible for would healing. The study suggests that when the wnt gene is blocked, hair follicles become inactive, but when the wnt gene is stimulated, hair follicles started to grow.

A clinical version of the gene therapy is still a few years down the road, so in the meantime, try to stay patient.
