Hair follicular cloning is a new technique of hair restoration where hair follicles are produced from the cells in dermal papilla.  Baldness is caused when the cells in dermal papilla are destroyed due to disease, trauma and so on. In this new technique, the cells from the dermal papilla are surgically removed and subsequently cloned in a laboratory. Hundreds of these cloned cells are then injected into the balding area on the scalp. This technique of hair cloning is currently under experimentation and will arrive any where between 2009 and 2012.
