Are hair transplants a cure for baldness?

Hair transplants are expensive option that only the serious or wealthy attempt. It involves transplanting hair from other parts of the head or body into the bald patches. Modern techniques are very sophisticated and safe, but it can become an ongoing process, costing £20,000 or more. Transplanting hair doesn't solve the problem of dysfunctional follicles that fail to rejuvenate lost hair. Another method involves the grafting of small clumps of hair, which, it is hoped, will 'colonise' a new head of hair.
