are either biased or unproven. hair club is not about one product, one shampoo, or a miracle cure. hair club is about all proven hair loss solutions. hair club is a real company, and they guarantee their work. hair club's staff include prominent, board-certified doctors, researchers, world-class hairstylists, and trained hair loss consultants-- experts. real people who love what they do and aspire to help others. during this show, you'll meet these unique individuals. most important, you'll meet real clients who, like many of you, wanted to do something about their hair loss. are you ready to do something about your thinning hair? if you're ready to act or even just find out more about hair loss, hair club is ready to help. stay tuned and you'll learn more about this unique company and the thousands of people hair club has helped to get their hair back. >> i wanted to project myself in the very best possible way. i decided that having my hair back the way it used to be was an important step for me. >> myself, i'm 45 years old, and you know, i'm not in the best
4:31 am
shape in the world, but one thing, i'm continually trying to get better, and my hair is just one less problem i ever have to think about. >> i feel blessed. i'm not worried about other people passing judgment or wondering what might be wrong with me. i don't second-guess going to the store or going to the movies or going to have a drink. i'm confident. i'm comfortable. >> welcome back. let's get right to the root of the problem-- hair loss and what causes it. now, hair loss affects more than 70 million people in north america today-- 40 million men and 30 million women. that's a lot of people. some people try products that claim to regrow hair only to find out a few hundred dollars later that they didn't work. don't waste your money on unproven remedies. if you care about how you look and you want to get your hair back, take time to listen to world-renowned hair loss expert dr. jon gaffney, medical director of hair club, a board-certified plastic surgeon, and member of the american >> hair ss for both men and
4:32 am
women is more common than you think. by the age of 50, half the adult population experiences hair loss. many of us in the medical community expect this trend to increase over time, in part due to such things as stress, poor nutrition, fad diets, and certain prescription medication. hair loss is different for men and women. male pattern hair loss is the most common hair loss for men, representing more than 90% of all male cases in north america. it occurs due to the chemical dihydrotestosterone, commonly known as d.h.t. d.h.t. causes a shortening of the lifespan of the hair follicles in these men. the follicles resistance to d.h.t., or lack thereof, is genetic, and that's why some men go bald and some don't. >> for me, i started to go bald when i was in high school. it was a little bit at the beginning, and then it got really worse once i got into college, and to the point where it was really dramatic. and through this time, i started to use a lot of different
4:33 am
products, a lot of different things that promised, you know, regrowing of hair, things of that nature. >> hair loss for women, in many ways, is far more traumatic. the psychological effects for women can be devastating. there are many different causes of hair loss among women. female pattern thinning, which is genetic diffuse hair loss, menopause-related, postpartum, or stress-related shedding, and alopecia areata, or spotty hair loss, are just a few. some hair loss in women is caused by poor hair care. harsh chemical relaxers or tight hair braiding can permanently damage these hair follicles. >> you know, a woman losing her hair has to be the most difficult thing in the world. you know, you expect men to lose their hair, but not women, right? it's very unbecoming. it's embarrassing. you lose your self-esteem. i mean, i did the weave thing. then you get the wigs. guess what. you're very uncomfortable going out. it's a windy day. you don't know if it's gonna blow off. i'm a profuse sweater, right? it could just slide off.
4:34 am
then you pick up a kid. they grab it, it moves. it's like, enough already. there has got to be something better. >> there is an old expression that says, "if the only tool you have is a hammer, then all the world looks like a nail." hair club is not about one tool. it's about all proven hair loss solutions. >> that was dr. jon gaffney, world-renowned hair loss expert. now we'll show you how you can get your hair back with proven hair loss solutions. >> announcer: don't tolerate another day of hair loss or thinning hair. because now the solution you need to get a fuller, natural head of hair is just one phone call away. hair club is the only company in the world to offer all tested and proven hair loss solutions, because no single solution is right for every type of hair loss. call hair club now for this free educational booklet and get a free microscopic hair and scalp analysis at any of our hair club centers nationwide. young or old, man or woman,

hair club-- we do it all. for you. [♪...] >> when i first got my hair, i couldn't believe the difference it made. i felt so good about myself. i've never felt better. >> some people didn't even notice i had anything done. they just said, "you look good, you look younger," and it's just a pleasant experience all the way around. >> it looked so natural to me, so i went and checked it out, made the phone call, and it really changed my life. >> i don't second-guess going to the store or going to the movies or going to have a drink. i'm confident. i'm comfortable. >> now let's talk about the proven solutions available to you at hair club and the hair club guarantee of satisfaction. what is proven to work? hair club has expertise in three areas: non-surgical hair enhancement, f.d.a.-approved hair therapies, and microscopic follicular unit hair transplants. available only at hair club, the biomatrix strand-by-strand process is known around the
4:37 am
world as the gold standard in hair replacement. hair club's groundbreaking technology is the only process available to date that gives you a full, healthy-looking head of hair by adding real human hair to your own hair. biomatrix is not a toupee. it's not a wig. it's a custom-made blend of your own hair with real human hair that is matched to your individual requirements. that includes hair color, facial structure, and skin tone. the process is natural and virtually undetectable. when you brush your hair, it all blends together. if someone touches your hair, it feels normal. it's easy to style. you can rough it up. you can go swimming, biking, jogging, or anywhere life takes you, and you will look great. >> i can swim, i bike, hike, i do everything, and the key point here is no one has noticed. everybody thinks i look better, but they can't quite put their finger on it. so when they told me that would happen, i didn't believe it. i thought everybody would notice
4:38 am
right away, but they didn't. they just thought, "well, your hair's different. wh'd you do?" and so i just, you know, in some cases... people that were close to me, i told them. other people, i just let them guess. and so i think that's important for women, especially, to know is that you're gonna look great, you're gonna feel great. >> i didn't want to be one of those guys that you walk down the street and say, "hey, buddy, nice hair! who shot the mannequin?" you know, that kind of thing, it just didn't fly for me. it was very important that it be undetectable. >> we are very lucky today to grow up at a time where technology is as advanced as it is. i've had a chance to replace my hair with a technology that is unbelievable, and i'm very happy that i did it. >> people think that i have probably found some magic ointment or something, right? they have no idea that i've actually gone to hair club. i have, in fact, shared it with some, but not many, right, because i like to keep 'em guessing. do you realize how nice it is for someone to walk up to you and say, "my god, you have the most beautiful head of hair"? and i say, "thank you."
4:39 am
>> hair club is also a leader in hair therapies, with its extreme hair therapy program. >> dr. gaffney: the e.x.t. program and product regimen includes high-quality shampoos, cleansers, and conditioners, as well as the f.d.a.-approved hair regrowth agent, minoxidil. it is an excellent program for men and women in the early stages of hair loss, and has been proven to work for many people. the success of the program depends on your level and type of hair loss. i recommend you have a consultation at hair club to determine whether or not you are a good e.x.t. candidate. >> hair club also offers in select areas the gold standard in hair transplantation-- microscopic follicular unit hair transplants. it's natural, permanent, and your transplanted hair is guaranteed to grow the way mother nature programmed it to. >> if you are a hair transplant candidate, when choosing a hair transplant physician, the three most important aspects you must consider are artistry, experience, and patient care. hair club's physicians are highly experienced artists,
4:40 am
having performed more than 50,000 procedures, and patient re at hair club is paramount. >> when you actually see the hair grow, you're amazed. you're watching it grow day by day from a thinner look to a fuller look till you can then do the things that you've always wanted to do with your hair, using different products and styling your hair differently. >> i finally went to the hair club, and i found that they had the best technology and they were far superior than everyone else. they treated me like family, like i was somebody important. i decided to go with them, and the results speak for themselves. people will just kind of look at you and wonder, "what's going on," you know, "this guy's looking younger and younger," and i'm feeing better and better about it, and it just, it's a great feeling. >> hair club is the only company that offers all proven hair loss solutions backed by a guarantee of satisfaction. if you are not 100% satisfied with the option you've chosen, hair club will apply your
