and to me, that's everything in the world. >> myself, i'm 45 years old. and, you know, i'm not in the best 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 normal. i feel like i could be anyone walking amongst someone who, you know, everybody looks at anymore, like, weird. i'm just normal, and i look great, and i get compliments on my hair all the time. >> welcome back. let's get right to the root of what causes it.hair loss and 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, let's hear from some of the world-class doctors in our network. >> by far, the most common cause of hair loss is genetic. by age 50, 50% of the adult

population have experienced enough hair loss to be noticeable. >> hair loss is different for men and women. male-pattern hair loss is the most common form of hair loss, representing more than 90% of all male cases in north america. it occurs due to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, commonly known as dht. dht causes a shortening of the life span of the hair follicles in these men. dht chokes the hair follicle and it eventually shuts down. the follicle's resistance to dht or lack of resistance is genetic, and that's why some men go bald and some don't. >> actually started losing my hair at a pretty young age -- actually in college. and hair loss is in my family, so i definitely knew what the future had for me. during that process, i tried many things. i tried drugs -- that wasn't working. i grew my hair out, did the comb-over. that was awful. i wore hats a lot.

and nothing was working. >> female-pattern hair loss is different from male-pattern hair loss in both appearance and sometimes in terms of the cause itself. for women, there are many different causes of hair loss, including female-pattern thinning, which is a form of male-pattern thinning, menopause, postpartum or stress-related shedding, or alopecia areata. someone can experience hair loss due to poor hair care or tight braiding of the hair, which can permanently damage these follicles. >> when i began to lose my hair, i lost some of my self-confidence, my self-esteem. i really felt that people were looking at my hair and not me. i had already tried gels and clips and wigs and pieces and brushing my hair, combing my hair all different ways. really didn't feel sexy. >> everyonwho walks in our door has a special and unique situation. hair club is uniquely positioned to treat hair loss because we

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 right away, but they didn't. they just thought, "well, your hair's different. what'd you do?" and so i just -- 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. >> when i first got my hair, i was a little nervous about going into the fire station because that is one group of guys that love to pull pranks and kid you and razz you. so, i was real nervous about that, but when i went in, they said, "we couldn't wait to get you here so we could razz you, but now that we see you, there's nothing we can say 'cause it looks so good." >> i took control. i went to hair club. i got my hair back, and i look great. >> i would get compliments from my husband. my two sons would compliment me.

the people on my job, they would look at me, like, "there's something different. what did you do?" and they would look at my hair -- "what did you do?" and i would say, "did it look good?" knowing in the back of my mind that it was the hair club experience that made the difference. >> hair club is also a leader in hair therapies, with its extreme hair therapy program. >> in hair club, we also have what we call our ext program, or extreme hair therapy, which includes a number of really high-quality hair-care products. a topical medical treatment that is fda-approved for treating thinning hair, as well as the first fda-cleared home-use laser comb. >> 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 mother nature programmed it to. >> we work with our clientele
