Estimates are that over 50 percent of men will suffer from thinning hair during their lives and this is usually a result of inheriting the condition called androgenetic alopecia, or what is commonly known as male pattern baldness. There are 2 products approved by the FDA as baldness treatments for men and minoxidil is one of those products. But will minoxidil use reverse your thinning hair?
If you look on the internet you’ll find hundreds of baldness cures. But there are only 2, minoxidil and finasteride, that the FDA has approved for use by men to reverse thinning hair and for women minoxidil is the only treatment approved as a baldness treatment by the FDA.
Therefore it makes sense that these are the only products which can be sufficiently scientifically proven to reverse thinning hair in men. And minoxidil is the only product which has sufficient scientific proof that it will reverse thinning hair in women.
If any of the hundreds of other baldness cures advertised on the internet had sufficient scientific evidence behind it to prove to the satisfaction of the FDA that they work to reverse thinning hair you can bet the application would be made to the FDA as fast as possible. To get a baldness treatment successfully approved by the FDA could be likened to a licence to print money, and any company that was able to produce this evidence in support of their product would seek approval as fast as possible.
But whilst minoxidil is the only FDA approved treatment of thinning hair in both men and women, you do need to understand a few things about minoxidil use before you start using minoxidil to treat your baldness problem.
Obviously minoxidil works to reverse thinning hair or the FDA would not have approved it. But just because it is proven to work doesn’t mean that it works for everybody. Just as there are cancer treatments which are proven to work to treat cancer, they do not work for everybody, and it is not realistic to expect minoxidil to be any different. Do not expect that just because it works for others that it will also work for you, though of course there is a good chance that it will.
And secondly if you are considering using minoxidil you need to understand that even if it works for you the results take time to achieve and that you should be prepared to commit to using a product for at least 6 months, and preferably 12, before you can make a judgement about whether it is working for you. Otherwise you may find that you discontinue minoxidil use too early, and before it has started to work.
And the last thing to understand about using minoxidil for hair loss is that even if you have a successful result you will need to continue using minoxidil to maintain that result. If you discontinue minoxidil use all of the hair regrowth that you have achieved will gradually be lost again and your thinning hair will return.
Whilst minoxidil has been proven to work to reverse thinning hair in men and women, it has now been combined with a range of other essential hair nutrients to increase the chance that minoxidil will work for you. However you need to start using the product with realistic expectations.
If you understand these 3 things about using minoxidil, and you’re interested to find a new product which combines minoxidil with a range of essential hair nutrients you can find that product on my website.

Alopecia or hair loss is a very common thing but it can also be an embarrassing time for patients and it can be very stressful. There are some obvious reasons for hair loss in men such as old age and genetics, but there are some medical conditions that can cause mild and severe hair loss. The following conditions are the leading causes for hair loss in men and women.
Chemical breakage is probably one of the most common reasons for women’s hair loss. This is what happens to your hair if you over use dye or bleach. This can cause severe breakage and it’s not something that any woman wants to have happen but unfortunately it does and sometimes it starts after the first time you use dye or after several years of repeated hair dying.
Hypothyroidism is a medical condition that causes hair loss in both men and women and this is because your thyroid gland regulates a set of hormones in your body. Any defecit will cause symptoms and hypothyroidism is one that can causes severe hair loss. However, it doesn’t always present so make sure that you get tested if you have other symptoms such as weight gain, tiredness and fatigue and a cold body temperature or an intolerance to the cold.
One of the other common causes of hair loss is the use of certain chemotherapy drugs and this is why many cancer patients lose their hair. It’s commonly thought that one of the symptoms of cancer is hair loss but this isn’t the case – it’s the treatment for cancer, known as chemotherapy, which causes hair loss and this is simply because in order to wipe out cancer, you need a savage range of treatment which can affect other areas of your body, in this case, your hair.
Then of course, there’s the genetic side of things which may or may not be treatable. It depends on the condition; Genodermatosis for example, is a skin condition which can cause hair loss and it is a hereditary disease – there are treatment options available for this condition but not for all.
So, now that you’re aware of the leading causes of hair loss, you should be able to have a better understanding. If you’re worried about hair loss then it’s always a good idea to speak to your GP to find out what could be causing the problem. It could be something as simple as poor diet and nutrition so make sure you get it checked out as soon as possible.
