Male hair implants: The 2016 solution for baldness

Livecoiffure : Hair loss is a genuine fear for men, is this the reason why you started this venture?

Sébastien Cochard : I myself was a victim of hair loss when I was 16 years old, I know it is difficult to live with. I was an actor and appearance was very important in my profession. When I was 21 years old, I got sick of it and I decided for the first time to use hair implants for men. I wasn’t very satisfied, the quality wasn't very good and it was very expensive. At the time, I posted with my colleague Nicolas a video online which explained hair implants for men- different from the wig- this technique could potentially become more popular.

Thousands of viewers saw the video so Nicolas (partner and current manager of the company BYSIX) and I thought that we could develop our own range of hair implants for men.

We worked for about a year and a half to become familiar with the hair implant techniques, the manufacturing techniques, etc. We searched for skillful technicians and we were instantly surrounded with a very good team. While some hair implants for men cost between 600- 15 000 Euros, we wanted to offer something better quality at a lower cost in order to offer an effective solution for baldness.

Livecoiffure : What is the process to create a personalized hair implant for men?

Sébastien Cochard : We have 2 options: Implanted by hand in India, we have some hair implants for men ready for months and available immediately. The tailor-made hair implant takes a bit more time but anything is possible. For example, if i have a client with dark, frizzy hair but with some grey hairs we can recreate both colors at the client’s discretion. You can also choose the implant style and the frontal edge that suits you best. You can choose a base made of micro skin with a very natural effect thanks to the injection of hairs directly in the base (no knots).

The hair implant will merge with the rest of the natural hair. In terms of length we have a 15cm base for men and we even have 50cm hair implants for women (although there not many wearing them). We can also re-cut at the client’s request.

I recommend you try Ultra HD, it is one of the last generations of base which offers a very thin material (between 0,003 and 0,006mm thick), and surprisingly good results in terms of both texture and appearance. The inconvenience of this very thin hair implant is the duration (generally 2 months). Although, it is possible to preserve it longer.

Livecoiffure : What daily hair products are required to maintain the hair implants?

Sébastien Cochard : Given that a hair implant is made of natural hair, you must take care of it in the same way you care for natural hair.

Classic shampoo every 2 days, 1 or 2 applications of hair conditioner if you want to. You don’t need a specific brand. We made a video to show clients how to preserve the hair implant.
