Conor McGregor reckons he can find cure for male pattern balding as UFC legend weighs up new busines
CONOR McGREGOR reckons he can find a cure for male pattern balding.
The UFC star, 31, revealed that he's been inspired by his hairdresser sister Erin to come up with a solution to hair loss.
McGregor revealed how he's hoping to work with Erin on an exfoliator for the scalp that he believes will stop men's manes from receding so rapidly.
Speaking to British GQ, he said: "My sister’s a hairdresser and listen to this: she’s just brought out this exfoliating scrub.
"I’m actually of the belief that you can reverse the effects of male pattern baldness if you exfoliate the scalp.
"The hair cannot grow if the scalp is covered. If you’re putting product in your hair or you’re washing it with stupid hotel shower stuff... If the scalp is clogged up, the hair follicles can’t grow. They die.
"Men don’t look after it. They throw anything in it, then eventually they lose it. But if men started looking after that you could catch it before it happens.
"Now, maybe not stopping it all, because you get older. But you can certainly – and I mean certainly, certainly, certainly – slow it down drastically.
"[This is] something I’m interested in. I’m going to start thinking about how I can get my name on that stuff and make it into a business, so we’ll see what happens."

Many hair experts also encourage the use of exfoliators to promote hair growth.
Anabel Kingsley, Trichologist at Philip Kingsley, says: "Once weekly, exfoliate your scalp with an exfoliating mask to gently lift away dead skin cells and improve suppleness.
"I also suggest applying a weekly intensive pre-shampoo conditioner to your hair to improve its strength and elasticity.”
