London, January 22:
A specialist clinic in
UK has come up with a new technique to disguise men's baldness by tattooing
tiny coloured pigments into the hair follicles of the scalp.
The thinning hair
condition affects around 6.5 million men in the UK with over 40 percent of them
having noticeable hair loss by the age of 35.
Previously the options
on the market have been pretty pricey with celebrities such as Wayne Rooney
opting for a 25,000-pound hair transplant, but now the budget tattoo means that
more men can cover their bare heads - as long as they don't mind looking like a
skinhead, the Daily Star reported.
Pigment dots are
tattooed into the hair follicles and from a distance it gives the illusion of
an even 'just shaved' look. This look is popular among celebrities such as
David Beckham and Wentworth Miller.
The non-invasive
procedure, which costs between 500 to 3,000 pounds, was developed by Ian
Watson, who founded HIS (Hair-Ink-Skin) Hair after he developed alopecia in his
mid-twenties, following the tragic death of his 32 year-old brother Paul, from
cancer.
After he lost his hair
he asked his wife to draw black dots onto his scalp using fine ink pen and the
idea for a more permanent solution developed from there.
