Maybe there really is help for those of us with thinning hair.

I don't think I'm at the point of being seriously follicly challenged--yet. However, my kids seem to notice a declining amount of hair covering my head on a daily basis, and if I look at my two older brothers it's quite clear I'm destined for that eventuality.

Or maybe not. In this article from The Times, there's now hope that "hair cloning" will be the answer.

"Millions of men and women who suffer from premature baldness or hair loss could soon be able to regain their original lustrous locks - by cloning their remaining hair in the laboratory, research suggests.

The new technique, known as “follicular cell implantation”, has already shown positive results in continuing clinical trials on human beings. The work, being carried out by a British team, is being hailed as a major advance in hair restoration..."

Of course, the question is--would I be vain enough to go this route?

You betcha!
