Nature of Solution:

Hair Weaving

This is a temporary hair loss treatment solution. The hairs grow without the bulb and thus, they never lengthen. With time these hairs are shed off and also get loosened. It is basically attached to the scalp with the help of some medicated glue. The hair fibers also undergo some damage, if you take up this treatment. Hence, experts suggest that this treatment is not at all a dependable solution for treating baldness. It is also not suitable if you are aspiring for a natural look.

Hair Transplant

This solution is permanent. You will reap the benefits of the investment for a long-term. The hair grows back directly from the follicles. The results are natural and they do not get shed off easily.
