The “Follicle Five” battle against baldnessDateline follows five men on different hair treatmentsBy Rob StaffordOfficial Transcript / Dateline NBCUpdated: 6:16 p.m. ET Nov. 26, 2004They are Dateline’s version of the ‘”Fab Five,” five proud men at the pinnacle of their lives — and life is good, except for one thing. They’re all losing their hair.For men, going bald or having thinning hair can be an extremely emotional issue, bringing on feelings of lost virility, attractiveness, sexiness or simply getting old. But now our guys are going to try to get control of their ever-widening bald spots and ever-thinning hair.The five, all friends from the Miami area, have agreed to participate in an experiment for Dateline. For 12 months, they’re each going to try a different drug, medical procedure or one of those products you’ve seen advertised on late night TV or the Internet.We’ll follow them over the next year to see how well these products and procedures work on these volunteers.NBC’s TODAY SHOW: “Battling Baldness”
