Anyway, I hate to be that b**ch, Debbie Downer, but I don't see this working out. 3D printing a hair follicle, it would seem, is far more complicated of a method than what Organ Tech is doing and getting a 3D-printed follicle to replicate the hair of the individual could prove extremely difficult.

I do not know before. Difficult or only when it comes. Remove unnecessary.

Hey guys,
LOréal on the move; do you think there is something to expect from this collab?
Sometimes I think about gathering with all my bald-brothers in front of these labs and to block the entry until they damn find a cure;
Jesus, why investing so much money in space-technology and sh*t when baldness is still on Earth; bald people are nothing more than walking dead waiting for the holy cure to get back to life; they deserve it ; damned

I think the problem is just industrialising the process, it takes like 10 minutes to 3D print a one centimeter squared patch of skin complete with sweet glands and hair follicle (don't quote me on that, just google it). Who knows how long it will take to bio print 500-50,000 hairs? Plus bio printers are super expensive and I don't even think most of them use the lazer system.
L'Oreal make some good stuff though, so I trust them, they'll probably just sell the hair to the transplant surgeons.
For the record though I'd totally get a full 3d printer scalp transplant to beat baldness. I mean they can 3d print wigs perfectly tailored to the scalp, so why not scalp as well? Sure you'd have this weird Frankenstein line scar across your forehead, but on the back it should be no worse than FUT on the back.
