Well here's a 5-minute video that takes you through the 7 steps of a simple hair transplantation. Dr. Bauman and I documented the NeoGraft FUE procedure in layman terms... it's on the SurgeonofNalts account, and Greg Benson (Mediocrefilms) is the next candidate for a hair transplant this week.
We discussed this video during tonight's "Bald Truth" show. I hope you find this informative and mildly entertaining. :)

Greg Benson, actor and creator of "MediocreFilms" (one of the most-subscribed YouTube channels) is getting his second hair transplant next week with Dr. Alan Bauman. Dr. B was my hair transplant, and Benson participated in our live blogtv and stickam chats when I had my transplant 2 months ago.
Read more about it on "The Bald Truth" blog, and tune in Sunday (Nov. 1, 2009) at 5 Pacific and 8 EST to hear Dr. B, Benson, me and the show's host, Spencer Kobren. Kobren is the author of "The Bald Truth," a book that focuses on hair loss and what people can do about it.

Now that I've watched a few hair loss videos, YouTube is constantly serving me more as a recommendation. Today I ran into this classic by Spencer Kobren (I was on his radio show last night). This is a fun game...
Look at this picture (or see it in the video) and tell me if you're impressed with the results. Before and after. Then watch the video, and you'll be amazed by the secret behind it.
I never cared much for before/after photos to promote Propecia, because the non-regulated drugs can pull these tricks, and Propecia couldn't. Instead I liked Terry and Perry's video in the bottom, left quadrant of this page (twins with one who took Propecia and one who didn't).
Here's a recent story about our "cause" to make people aware of treatment-options for hair loss and balding. I'm looking forward to 8 pm tonight (Aug . 23, 2009) when Spencer Kobren, Dr. Alan Bauman and I discuss these issues live on The Bald Truth, via web, Stickam and Sirius Radio.
Hey- it's still hair-loss awareness month!
Below is a great (and short) video clip featuring Spencer Kobren (who's an author, national association leader, and host of "The Bald Truth") talking with my hair-transplant surgeon Dr. Alan Bauman (Bauman Medical in Boca Raton, Florida)... it was a live broadcast before yesterday's surgery, and they talked about my journey to break hair-treatment stigma. I've been invited by Spencer as a guest on next Sunday's "Bald Truth" ( to discuss the treatment, and explore why hair treatment is still not "okay" enough for the 100s of celebrities who have been treated to come forward!
Join Spencer and me on "The Bald Truth" this Sunday, August 22 (2009) at 8 pm EST and call in!
It's odd and disappointing that caring about your hair and treating hair loss is still seen as taboo. It's no secret that balding is no sign of pride, and it's surprising that treating hair loss is viewed as vanity or insecurity. Pu-leeze. I am really excited to be a part of demystifying it, and Kobren and Bauman have made it their life calling.
One of the most exciting moments during our live broadcast of the surgery (see excerpt on Bauman's Stickam account) is when my friend and YouTube superstar Greg Benson called in, and "admitted" that he too had a transplant.

I'm hoping Kobren (who has a great forum mentioned in this video) and Bauman (also on Twitter) can tap Benson for the cause. Benson talked about getting a transplant days before his commercial shoot (see his reel on his new daily vlog channel). Greg also has a really cute dog who reminds me of my new "Fred."
Look... Hair loss isn't cancer, but male-pattern hair loss effects millions of people in far deeper ways than most realize. Women usually treat without reservation. But I've seen men distressed, depressed, paralyzed or in "avoidance" mode. Primary care doctors (and even dermatologists) are, as quantitative and qualitative research shows, largely disconnected from the impact on men. Some men learn not to care, or decide a shaved head's the way to go. I respect that a lot if it's genuine and not "gunny sacking." I also admire people that choose to treat when it bothers them enough. My heart goes out to the people that feel it's inevitable, and are just bummed out each time they look in the mirror.
Not everyone can afford a transplant, and there are medications that may delay or reduce the need for one.
I can say two things about this experience:
1) I wish I had started taking Propecia when it launched. I just picked up a ProPak from Bauman's office this morning.
2) I can't believe I delayed getting a transplant. It was so much easier than I thought.
Spencer Kobren, who has a show, a website, and a book about hair loss, discusses what hair loss feels like for some men. In this recent show (here's an excerpt, and about 3:00 in) he talks about the impact hair loss had on him and has on others. If you're a YouTube user, his channel name is baldtruthradio (the name of his popular radio show).
In his most popular video, Kobren, founder and president of the American Hair Loss Association, discusses how to pick a hair-loss surgeon.

Here's a guy who became aware of hair loss while he was young, and spent his career helping others.
