Two men walk into a pharmacy, one is bald and the other is not. They’re caught on surveillance cameras boosting some merchandise — and it seems the goods they lifted are a matter of manly pride. Cops are searching for what we’re dubbing the Long Island Rogaine Thieves.

NBC New York says the twosome entered a CVS on Long Island on Dec. 17. They scooped up three boxes of Rogaine, a hair loss product for men (we know you’ve seen the commercials) and placed them into a gift bag. Then they simply sauntered out with their loot, without stopping to pay at the register. That move is called “shoplifting.”

There are many new technologies available for hair transplant surgeons today. But with so many technologies available and so many hair transplant surgeons claiming they have the best technology, how can one know which one is the best? The new chairman of the American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ASHRS), Dr. Marco Barusco, gives his opinion on some of the latest and upcoming technological advances in this field.

HypoThermosol

Perhaps some of the most important technological advances are the ones dealing with tissue preservation. According to Dr. Barusco, once the donor hair is taken from the back of the head the clock starts ticking. “The quicker we re-attach the hair to the scalp the better the chance it will survive”, Dr. Barusco said. Traditionally, surgeons have used regular saline solution to preserve the tissue, but HypoThermosol has been showing to have the best composition. It is easy to work with and preliminary observations suggest that it improves hair survival and overall results.

Vin Diesel has embraced his baldness. And it’s doubtful Michael Stipe spends much time browsing for toupees. But not all of the 40 million American men with follicularly challenged scalps are going quietly into that bald night. They’re raging  with Rogaine, among other things.

Men who want to hang on to their hair have many options, including medications and surgical transplants, says Dr. Marc Avram, hair transplant surgeon and clinical professor of dermatology at Weill-Cornell Medical College in New York City. The near future may even bring treatments that can end baldness forever  at least for people willing to pay the price.

The war against baldness is already expensive. Just one hair transplant operation can cost more than $10,000, or about $5 per transplanted hair. The International Society of Hair Restoration reports that surgeons performed more than 95,000 hair transplants in 2010. Do the math — hairlines are a gold mine. In fact, the ISHR estimates that men and women spend more than $1.8 billion each year on hair loss treatments of all sorts.

David Beckham is so worried about going bald he would shave off the hair he had left rather than have a hair transplant if it started happening.

David Beckham has fears about going bald.

The soccer star – who has sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz, as well as six-month-old daughter Harper with fashion designer wife Victoria Beckham – would shave the rest of his hair off if he started losing his locks.

He said: “Someone said I’d had a hair transplant. There’s definitely nothing wrong with doing that, but I don’t think personally I would. If I do start showing
