Caesar doesn’t have a lot of time for fashion maintenance. He recently had a baby girl. When he’s not changing diapers, he’s trading stocks. When the pit went completely electronic, he switched to computer. "Work is hectic," he said. "I keep making mistakes. Yesterday I punched the wrong button and I lost $2,000."
Even so, the one treatment he does have time for is a medicated shampoo and lotion from Thomas Clinics. "Since I started using it my hair loss has stopped. I wouldn’t have bothered with the lotion when I was young. But if I would have done it then I’d have more hair."
Hair loss is a genetic quirk passed down from either side of our families, not just from the mother’s side as once believed. The gene can skip generations and appears randomly. As men with the dubious inheritance get older, their hair follicles produce an enzyme named 5 Alpha reductase, which testosterone does not get along with. The reaction of the two causes the follicles to die.
Medication is a third solution to hair loss. The two FDA approved medications available, Propecia and Rogaine, will not grow hair back on shiny areas: nothing will. Neither will they have any effect on frontal baldness, the area of concern for most men. But they will halt hair loss, and where hair is thinning there is a chance it will spur new growth.
