December 02, 2020

Find out how we’re simplifying men’s hair loss.

Have you started to notice thinning hair, a receding hairline or an incoming "kaal kop?" Trust us, we’ve been there. There is no need to reach the point of no return on your hair loss journey, when the power of modern medicine has proven that hair loss is preventable and that regrowth is possible. In this article we’re diving into the nuts and bolts of the &BAM method to give you an overview of how our system works.

So why, you may ask, are you only finding out about this solution now? Well reason number one is that, in general, men are pretty bad on the health-seeking front, particularly for things they believe are either beyond their control or are not serious enough to warrant seeing a doctor about. It’s time to turn the tide on men’s health seeking behaviour and make accessing quality health care simple and convenient.

At &BAM we believe that the future of men’s wellness hinges on a proactive approach that covers everything from physical & mental health, sexual wellbeing and aesthetics. Our vision is to be able to provide men with solutions to service all of their wellness needs. Today, we’ve made it easy to get a grip on your hair loss by creating an easily accessible, professional, and fully digitalised process to get those follicles flourishing and lengthening those luscious locks.

The &BAM method follows a simple 5-step process.

1. Complete Our Online Consultation

Tell us about your hair loss journey, lifestyle, medical history, and ideal treatment plan - this should take about 15 – 20 minutes. Once you finish the questionnaire, there is a once-off cost of R150 for the doctors' consultation (which is refunded if you’re not suitable for &BAM). You'll be contacted by a doctor within 24 hours of your payment to discuss your answers and your personalised treatment recommendation.

2. Purchase

Once the doctor has approved you for treatment, you’ll receive an email with a link to purchase your recommended hair loss treatment plan. You have the option to pay monthly or quarterly.

We use a subscription-based service to ensure you receive a continuous and regular supply of treatment every 3-months. When it comes to treating hair loss, consistency is key - stopping treatment for even a short period of time can result in an increase in hair shedding and all your hard-earned gains will be lost. You can cancel anytime.

3. Treatment Preparation

Your personalised treatment will be formulated and mixed up. This takes around 3 business days to complete.

4. Delivery

Next, we’ll ship you your hair loss kit. This adds on around 2 days before your kit is in hand.

Each shipment contains a 3-month supply of treatment (regardless of whether you chose to be billed monthly or quarterly). This will be repeated every 3-months (on or around the date you first placed your order) until you’re due for follow up and/or a new prescription from the doctor.

5. Ongoing Care

Our doctors will recommend a follow-up plan based on your baseline health and medical history to ensure that our treatment continues to be the right method for you and to adjust it in accordance with any new or evolving health concerns that may occur during the treatment process. Any questions or concerns? No problem. We're always happy to help.

Important aspects of care:

Managing Expectations

When it comes to understanding your hair loss journey and the treatment process it’s really important to know what to expect with respect to how quickly you’re likely to start seeing results as well as the level of improvement in your hair growth to anticipate.

Tortoise, not the hare

First and foremost, proactive and consistent use of the &BAM method treatment is key. There are no silver bullets when it comes to treating hair loss and anybody promising you a quick-fix (outside of a hair transplant) is likely one of the proverbial snake-oil salesmen the hair loss industry is rife with. Like the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race and a minimum treatment period of 6 – 12 months should be anticipated by anyone wishing to see concrete results.

1 – 3 months: Slow It

There will likely be no visible change. If you experience slightly more shedding than usual, this is normal and only temporary. Be patient dude, this is only the beginning of the battle.

3 – 6 months: Regrow It

You should begin to see visible improvements. Hair loss should have slowed or stopped. Don't forget to track your progress. Pics or it didn't happen.

6 months and beyond: Own It

You should start seeing solid signs of regrowth. We here at &BAM have dubbed this time the growth acceleration phase which will last for a variable amount of time depending on a number of factors (genetics, lifestyle habits, stress levels, medical conditions etc). Hair loss should have stopped. Continue daily treatment to maintain and maximize results. Hair there, good to see ya!
