Scientists Have Made An Electric Hat That Can Treat Male Baldness

A team of researchers from different parts of the world has come up with a way to treat male baldness, a hat for those who have to live with hair loss.

However, the invention can do more than that. The hat comes equipped with a self-actuating electrical patch that can help to generate damaged tissues, stimulate the scalp, and grow hair faster and thicker and the traditional pharmacological treatment.

This hat is a joint effort of experts from Shenzhen University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. The most critical part of this invention is the electrical stimulation device that is small enough to fit inside a baseball hat. The best thing about it is that it does not require a battery and it works.

Extensive tests were conducted on mice, rats in the lab and even the father of one of the experts in the team. The device is a success. The rats grew hair quicker than usual and even the nude mice, the type that does not usually have hair, grew some.

The invention will have to go through some human trials and other tests before it can reach bald men all over the world.

While the device works, its scope is limited to those who partly lack of hair, not someone who has lost them entirely. This is not exactly a brand new idea, it is just a more compact version of the electrical pulse stimulation that has been with us for a few decades.

What you will love about this device is that bald men do not need to sit still for an extensive amount of time each day to receive the treatment. They can just fit it inside their favorite hat and go on with their usual business.

According to a press release of the University of Wisconsin, you do not need a battery to power the device:
