www.BIBScalpProducts.com

Here is that website.  I havent had the chance to look all the way thru it....may look kinda corny...but there ya go..

Thanx for the link Timmmayyy!

But where do THEY get their facts from? I don't see any source given. And I question a couple of the facts. "264 million people in the U.S.A. know at lease ONE baldheaded person" Who asked all these people? "20 million bald women" Unless they are having chemo, maybe that many have thinning hair, but they don't go bald like men do.

Other then that, it looks like an interesting site. I look forward to some product reviews when anyone tries their products.

I don't buy it, there's no method possible to draw these numbers from. There's far more than double the bald men then bald women for one thing.

Just another prime example that 35% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I really believe one day that bald will be the new trend.  While its gaining popularity now, it is still looked down on by a lot of people.  One day, hair will be a thing of the past  8).

There are a number of causes of excessive and / or rapid hair loss. Many people experience dramatic levels of hair loss some weeks after major surgery or after illness. Whilst the level of hair loss may appear excessive it is really no more than a reaction to a specific event and hair will return to normal after a period of time.Medications may cause hair loss. Some anticoagulants and many chemotherapy regimes used in cancer treatments are well known for this. Hair usually returns once the medication stops. Some anti-depressants may result in hair loss and too much vitamin A can have the same effect.Other physical reasons for hair loss includes hormonal imbalances, over or under-active thyroid and certain fungal infections can all result in hair loss.Hair loss may also signal some underlying problem like diabetes or lupus. As it is not always possible to assess the cause for rapid or excessive hair loss it is always worth seeking medical advice to diagnose the cause for your hair loss.

According to Provillus( forgive the mention of the enemy, but yea I have used it, sorry not proud of that lapse in judgment in my life)
2/3 of men will experience hair loss by the age of 35.
85% by the age of 50.

and I do believe that the number of women who suffer hair loss is surprisingly large to most

Now that sly is becoming more and more mainstream, I think the count is being grossly underestimated. I believe that number will go up exponentially and not a flat 4 mill a year. Not an approximation but i'm thinking more like 4 mill, 6, 10, etc... 

Remind me in a few years to revisit this. Thanks.

Having 50 barely in my rear view mirror, I can assure you the ladies have the problem too.  Several of my wife's friends are full time "wiggers" now, and my wife is very creative on coverying some thinning that has appeared in what used to be a head of hair that required her hairdresser to thin it before proceeding!  I think the estimate is conservative.  As for the guys, just look in the elevator at work, thinning, wispy, holes in the back, and frank profound baldness--at least 50%.  We wouldn't have so many slys and buzzed guys if that wasn't the case.
