On average, individuals typically lose some 100 hairs daily. These hairs should regrow several months later, and it is only until the hair loss exceeds the new hair growth that baldness results. Once hair loss starts, however, it is a progressive condition and will continue for a lifetime. </p> <p><img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="480" height="10"> </p> </p> <p>&nbsp; </p> </div></td><td width="140" rowspan="2" valign="top" background="/ImageNew/BackRight.gif" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" ><table width="120" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><img src="/images/1x1.gif" width="10" height="10"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>This comprehensive question and answer forum is brought to you by Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, one of only 30 <a href="http://www.foundhair.com/" target="_blank">hair transplant</a> surgeons worldwide... </p> <p><a href="http://www.foundhair.com/"><img src="/ImageNew/Hair-Transplant.gif" alt="hair transplant" width="120" height="118" border="0"></a></p></td> </tr> </table> <p align="center"><strong>Questions?</strong></p> <form onSubmit="return checkrequired(this)" name="ContactFormSmall" method="post" action="ContactSendSmall.asp"> <table border="0" width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="40" valign="top"> <p><span class="a12 style1"><span class="style2"> &nbsp;</span></span><span class="v9">Name</span><br> <input name="requiredFullName" type="text" id="requiredFullName" size="22" maxlength="60"> <br> <span class="a12 style1"><span class="style2">&nbsp;</span></span><span class="v9">Email </span><br> <input name="requiredEmail" type="text" id="requiredEmail" size="22" maxlength="60"> <br> <span class="a12 style1"><span class="style2">&nbsp;</span></span><span class="v9">Question </span><br> <textarea name="requiredQuestion" cols="12" rows="4" id="requiredQuestion"></textarea> <br> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"> <br> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> </form> <p align="center"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="140" height="10"><br> </p> <p> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" background="/images/left_bg.jpg" height="100%" width="145"> <img src="/images/group1.jpg" border="0" width="131" height="16" alt=""> <div > <a href="/FAQMain.asp">View All FAQ's</a><br> &bull; <a href="/About-Hair-Loss.asp">About Hair Loss</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Grafts.asp">About the Grafts</a><br> &bull; <a href="/AdvancedHairLoss.asp">Advanced Hair Loss</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Age-Related.asp">Age-Related</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Hair-Transplant-alternatives.asp">Alternatives</a><br> &bull; <a href="/BestCandidates.asp">Are You a Candidate?</a><br> &bull; <a href="/BodyHair.asp">Body Hair</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Cloning.asp">Cloning/Synth.
