title: Alternatives in  hair replacement.
abstract: Many methods of hair replacement have evolved over the past two decades. This article describes these alternatives and lists the advantages and disadvantages of newer hairpieces, hair weaving, hair implants, strip grafting, and hair transplantation. Hairpieces and hair transplantation are my preferred methods for most patients. Hair implanting is by far the worst alternative.
