Bald men will be pleased to know that scientists have found a way of making hair regrow.

They may be less delighted, however, to hear that it involves tearing their remaining hair out.

In a series of intriguing experiments, US researchers have shown that when they pluck 200 hairs, up to six times as many grow back.

For a thatch thickening trick to work, all of the hairs must be taken from one small patch.

It is thought that if enough hairs are forcibly removed from one area, it triggers a distress signal, and extra hair is grown to compensate.

While the concept may seem painful and peculiar, the University of Southern California researchers say it leads to potential new treatments for hair loss.

Millions of men around the world have male pattern baldness, with some starting to lose their hair in their teens.

Millions of women suffer also have thinning hair and experts say they may be more deeply affected by it psychologically.

Working with mice, the researchers marked out patches of fur of various sizes and plucked 200 hairs from each.

A month later, they looked to see how much hair, if any, had grown back.

When the plucked area was small, and so the hairs that were pulled out where tightly packed together, at least twice as many hairs grew back.

One lucky mouse sported new 1,300 hairs, including some outside the plucked patch, the journal Cell reports.

Further experiments suggested that plucking triggers a chemical distress signal that tells surrounding skin cells to start growing hair.

Even those that were ‘resting’ are jolted into action.

However, any men thinking of experimenting on themselves should note that the hairs were plucked one by one.

And results are far from guaranteed.

It seems that the chemical signal needs to be just the right strength for the trick to work.

If the hairs are taken from too big an area, the signal is weakened and no hairs grow back.

And if the plucked patch is too small, the missing hair is replaced but no extra hairs grow.

For mice at least, the best results are obtained by taking 200 hairs from a patch half a centimetre across.

Individual Counselling Session (60 minutes)

I offer a compassionate counselling service that is unique to every woman and her situation. Allowing you to feel heard and understood in a safe environment free from shame and judgement.

My aim is to support and empower women through periods of change and emotionally difficult times. Empowering women to navigate their life and the mess that it can sometimes feel like it’s in with insight, respect, hope and strength.

I believe you have the desire and the capacity to grow towards fulfilling your true potential, and that you’re the expert on your own life. Counselling is a way of assisting you to identify and define your emotional issues and to help you better understand yourself.

Therefore, I don’t give advice. I will work with you to help you understand yourself more fully and to find your own inner resources. With greater self-awareness and trust in yourself, I hope that you will be able to make constructive changes, leading to a more satisfying and meaningful life.

I apply an integrated approach to counselling, meaning that I combine different but complementary counselling methods that have been taken from different models of therapy. These are Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Using an integrative approach allows me to be flexible in providing a service that suits your situation.

I offer face-to-face and online individual counselling sessions, allowing women to openly talk about their emotional challenges.
