PHOENIX, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Rob Gott got the surprise of his life when his wife Tammy-Jo gave him the ultimate gift for the holidays: a free hair transplant that she won for him in an online essay contest at the Hair Loss Learning Center.org (http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org). The prize of a free hair transplant is being donated by one of America's leading Hair Restoration Physicians, Dr. Scott F. Alexander of Phoenix, Arizona. Tammy-Jo Gott could see how hair loss was wearing heavily on her husband Ron's happiness and decided to enter the contest to describe her husband's plight. "I could see how he was being affected emotionally, physically and socially by his hair loss. He has been using OTC medications for over a year now and he hasn't seen any results."
Dr. Scott Alexander made the generous offer of donating a hair restoration to help people like Ron who were reluctant to do something like this for themselves. Tammy-Jo explained, "We have talked about hair transplants but my husband felt that if we had the extra money it should be used towards bills, mortgage payments and college savings for our two boys."
Tammy-Jo spent weeks researching the possibility of a hair transplant when she came across the Hair Loss Learning Center.org and its in-depth information about the causes of hair loss, hair-loss treatments and hair-loss solutions. The Hair Loss Learning Center.org is sponsored by the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians whose members are committed to empowering patients with multimedia educational resources. Coalition members are carefully reviewed and granted membership based strictly on their high level of integrity, skill, experience, and the quality of their patient results (http://www.regrowhair.com/membership_standards.asp).
Dr. Scott F. Alexander (http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org/DrDetail.asp?DrID=54) and the other members of the Coalition are dedicated exclusively to hair restoration and perform all microscopically prepared follicular unit and follicular unit extraction procedures. Hair transplants change how people look and feel and can often restore the confidence and joy of life for many suffering from alopecia or hair loss. Hair restoration surgery has become an affordable and permanent solution that is receiving wide acceptance for men and women suffering from hair loss.
Merry Christmas...
In 2 or 3 years he'll look like a que ball with holes in it.
Just speechless ping!
Could be worse, it could have been a whorey surprise.......... ;^)
Wait until she finds out he lost the essay contest at http://www.boobjob.com.
[LOL!]
I was afraid this was going to be a "Crying Game" kind of deal.
Imagine my relief...
The first thing that came to mind was armpits. :-)
interesting. kind of a reverse of the gift of the magi, isn't it . . . she gives him something that will, she hopes, make him more attractive to her. perhaps next year he can win some plastic surgery or a boob job for her.
I like my bald noggin. It has character, and I have no need to primp.
I had mine done almost 2 years ago and no one can tell. I hope this guy looks at their before/after pics and talk to a few customers first before taking the plunge. The procedure and days after were not fun. Especially when you can hear them tearing the flesh from the back of your head.. jeez...
That ain't no lie. Seen it first hand on my girlfriend's brother. Ccompletely bald with a dozen or so thick plugs sticking out. The worst part is, you can't even do the sensible thing and just shave it close, because of all the scars. My motto: Death before comb over!
I clicked this link with trepidation.
Why is a man's ego tied up in his hair?
I'm losing hair, but I don't really care. It's not that big of a deal.
A free giveaway is actually a fantastic marketing ploy.
Okay... I have officially watched too much South Park. Upon reading the headline, I thought she had re-enacted the episode called "Scott Tenorman Must Die".
"It's not that big of a deal"
Except barbers should offer a discount for only trimming the fringe at least until you reach the Carvell the Snake stage.
Most women I know couldn't care less about the hair on their man's head. As long as he's got money! (Just kidding about the $ part.)Seriously, men can look very attractive with little or no hair. If they have a positive outlook they could have no hair and still be hot!
