I think Baldness will cure always next three or four years.In 2011 there is another new Company (after failure of follica)gives hope for baldness cure which’s human trials should begin next year or two & apportunity to market release is within few years.In Mumbai one person who’s name is hakim Nawab Rahim, had got the guaranteed technique for baldness cure. He charges Rs 500000 ($11000).He use only topical powders or lotions.I think this is the technique similar to follica in which WNT Proteins used .

Calm yourself. Im 26 and when I was 22 I realized i was losing my hair. Yeah it freaked me out and caused depression galore but you have to realize that hair cloning will come out- but in time.
They say (and by they i mean the company reps for Intercytex and Hair Follica) that the products will be ready in a few years ( 5 years to be sure last time i checked ) so patience is a must. What I can do for you is advise you to get a job, earn some money, get a doctor’s prescription for Proscar or Propetia and begin taking them once a day until you get hair cloning. I advise you to do this because im doing this and it can save your hair or at least stall the process until a better more permanent solution is met.
I very Hopefull I would actually like to partake in this Experimental study if they let me. I wish I knew where to go to sign up. In my condition, when I was about 17 I started relaxing my hair almost every 3 weeks for a whole year just because I wanted it to be straight. I got so frustrated and stressed that I started pulling my hair at the crown. Needless to say My hair started thinning and by 19 There was a small thinned out Bald spot beginning to grow. Later I joined the Marine Core. Dealing with Having to have proper Hygiene I just started shaving my head for the clean look and cleansliness. Having to go to Iraq with 3/8 kilo company we dealt with a lot of marines in hour battalion being killed, so there brought more stress to me in loosing my friends and to my hair. So by the time I got out of the core just a couple months ago in may of 08. There it is You can see the u shape of thinned out hair at the top of my head. Im just happy theres hair there. So I just cut my hair as short as I can with clippers. I can barely go anywhere, Its hard to goto work because Im so self conscious about my hair. Its a major blow to my Personality almost as if I have none. But Im keeping the hope alive for this stem cell technology. I Think about it all the time. So for all those that are in somewhat of the same position or just balding!
Hang In There. I just pray that its affordable! Please be Affordable… Well Take care
