If hair loss causes obvious and noticeable disfigurement, and the intention is not to increase beauty, then there is no objection to hair transplantation. It is a permissible treatment and not a change in Allah's creation. This is supported by the fact that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered Arfaja bin As'ad to acquire a nose of gold after his nose was cut off.
