With the fall season upon us it signals the change of leaves, weather, and most notably to some, the beginning of the new TV season. With many anticipated premieres across the board, Two and a Half Men is by far receiving the most attention. The popular CBS sitcom is undergoing drastic changes after the show’s main star, Charlie Sheen was let go from his contract last spring. The incident that led to his dismissal began with a strange incident at the Plaza hotel in New York City . What followed could only be described as a public meltdown of epic proportions. From various media appearances where he admitted to excessive drug use, to trashing the show’s co-creator/executive producer Chuck Lorre, Sheen paved the way for his exit.

Aside from Sheen losing his job he might be on the verge of losing something else, and that is his hair. Photos from 2010 show the controversial star with a shaved head showing signs of deep recession in the temple area. Since then his hair has noticeably thickened, which has led some to believe he may even be wearing a wig. Sheen’s prior drug use may not have helped matters with his hair either. Drug use has been known to be a key factor in causing hair loss. Supposedly, his drug use has already caused him to lose all of his teeth, having them replaced with porcelain veneers.
As for his hair, he still has hope with options like Propecia or Rogaine. Those options though could take up to six months to notice hair growth, if there is any. A hair transplant would be a more definite solution because unlike Propecia or Rogaine, hair transplants typically work for everyone. Who knows what Charlie Sheen’s next step will be in his fight against hair loss, but if it’s like anything we've seen from him lately I’m sure it will be an interesting one.
