Remember all your relatives, friends andfamiliar men - among them there are probably people with a bald head. Almost everyone is afraid of hair loss, because today, beautiful hair is as much an important part of the human image as clothes. In order to prevent baldness, it is recommended to protect the scalp from injuries, wash your hair with cool water, drink multivitamin complexes and do not go without a hat in winter frosts. But what to do if the hair has already begun to fall out and bald spots begin to form on the head? There are a lot of methods for treating baldness, but recently, scientists from the Wisconsin city of Madison (USA) have developed a cap to stimulate hair growth. Are you curious how it works?

First, let's go through the most popular methods.treatment of baldness. If you turn to a trichologist who deals with hair and scalp problems, he can recommend three options for getting rid of bald spots. First of all, he can prescribe a cosmetic product minoxidil, which is really able to activate the work of those responsible for the growth of vegetation on the body of hair follicles, but it does not help everyone. A doctor may also prescribe a medicine called finasteride, which can also help, but is likely to reduce a man’s sex drive. The trichologist’s third suggestion could be an expensive hair transplant.
How to resume hair growth?
Recently, some doctors adviseto their patients a treatment method called electrotrichogenesis. Its essence is to stimulate hair follicles with weak electric discharges. Judging by the reviews of some patients, the effect of such therapy is still there. But this time, it could not do without minuses either - rather bulky equipment with a capacious battery is used for electrical stimulation of hair.
A device for stimulating hair growth can fit in a cap
The elimination of this problem and the Americanscientists. Instead of a bulky device, they decided to use their compact and wireless device. It does not need a battery to power it - the device is powered by the energy that is generated when the user walks. Most likely, it accumulates a little, but for weak electric discharges it is probably enough. And you can really wear the device when walking by placing it under a baseball cap, hat or other headgear.

The best treatment for baldness
Productivity has been tested onshaved laboratory mice. The first group of animals was exposed to a wireless device, the second group was coated with Minoxidil, which stimulates hair growth, and the third group turned out to be a control. Nine days later, scientists found that due to electrical stimulation, the hairline of mice grew to 2 millimeters, while under the influence of minoxidil, the level of hair growth was only a millimeter.

In the future, researchers intend to verifydevice on mice with embedded human skin. It is likely that a device for hair growth will appear on the market very soon - the main thing is that human skin is not damaged during prolonged use of the device. However, it is worth recognizing that this method can only help in the initial stages of baldness. If there are no live hair follicles on the head, the device will no longer help.
