Q: I am a 22 years old male. I am suffering from the problem of dandruff and hair loss. I have read several answers on this subject on this web site. Actually, I want to know, what is the basic difference in hair weaving and hair transplantation. Please tell me the procedure, costs and pros and cons of both the techniques and which one in your opinion is better. Also tell me that new hairs fixed on scalp during hair weaving or hair transplantation suffer from dandruff subsequently and whether these hairs fall again. For your information I am suffering from male type baldness and this is a genetic problem. Suggest me a good hospital for this in Delhi and Ludhiana.

A:In the first instance, let me inform you that dandruff has no causal relationship to male or any other type of hair loss. Hair transplantation is a recognised form of treatment for male pattern baldness and is getting refined by the day. I am afraid I do not know who would be the best person in Delhi, Ludhiana or India, who does a good job of this. I suppose a plastic surgeon may be able to guide you.
