March 29, 2010
From TMZ to About.com, the speculation continues concerning Matthew McConaughey’s astonishing hair loss turn around. How can a guy who had such significant hair loss bounce back with what appears to be a completely full head of hair?
Publicly McConaughey claims to have used a “patented” all natural hair loss treatment program, but experts in the field speculate that is unlikely.
Last night Spencer Kobren and the guys from BTT discussed what some believe to be the 8th wonder of the world…Matthew McConaughey’s hair.

Early Onset Male Pattern Baldness May Be Linked To Lower Incidence Of Prostate Cancer
March 19, 2010
According to researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine, men who develop early onset male pattern baldness had a significant reduction in the risk of prostate cancer. The researchers studied 2000 men aged 40 to 47.
“At first, the findings were surprising,” said professor Jonathan Wright of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. “But we found that early onset baldness was associated with a 29 percent to 45 percent reduction in their relative risk of prostate cancer.”
Helen Rippon, head of research management at The Prostate Cancer Charity, added: “If these results are correct, they could be useful in providing us with a greater understanding of how testosterone behaves in the body and how it can affect different tissues.”

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST NATURAL HAIR GROWTH INSTITUTE, LTD. AND ITS FOUNDER STEVE BENNIS
March 3, 2010
CHICAGO, Illinois–March 3, 2010
On March 3, 2010, a class action lawsuit was filed on the behalf of twelve former clients of Natural Hair Growth Institute, Ltd. (“NHGI”) against the company and its President Steve Bennis (“Bennis”) due to rampant and systemic fraud related to its treatment program.
NHGI and Bennis have made numerous false representations of fact about their hair growth business that have caused Plaintiffs and members of the Class significant damages. These misrepresentations include statements that their products are all natural and are chemical-free, that they have a 100% money back guarantee, and that their laser light treatment program recently received FDA approval. All of these representations are false. Prospective clients are duped by these misrepresentations into paying between $8,000 to $12,000 of their hard-earned money for Defendants’ treatment program.
Chemical testing of Defendants’ products has revealed the presence of Minoxidil therein despite the representations that the products are all natural and are chemical free. This information was certainly a surprise to the clients of NHGI who were only interested in participating in an all natural and chemical freeprogram.
Genes May Predict Treatment Efficacy For Women Suffering With Hair Loss
March 2, 2010
A six month pilot study conducted by molecular dermatology and research innovator Hair DX, suggests that certain genetic mechanisms can help predict if the breakthrough hair loss drug Propecia (Finasteride), primary prescribed to men, could actually be effective in the treatment of female pattern hair loss in post menopausal women.
“Results of our pilot study are very encouraging, as it appears we have found a key piece of the genetic puzzle which identifies women who can benefit from Finasteride therapy in the same way men do. Our findings suggest these women actually have a female corollary to male pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia), and that is an important finding,” says IAHRS Accepted Member Dr. Sharon Keene, Chief Medical Officer of HairDX. “Once these results are confirmed, it can usher in a new era of treatment for female Androgenetic Alopecia.”
