So what can someone to do combat hair and beard issues? Fortunately, in 2014 there are a number of scientifically advanced options to stop hair loss in its tracks. Hair restoration procedures such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) have had excellent results in restoring the hair of balding people from all walks of life.
