good question.... unfortunately every one is different.... but just like rogain, it works for some and not for others. but once one starts using rogain they can't stop or eventually the hair falls out again. \n if you want to give it a shot... see what kind of guarantee (warranty) it comes with... if the transplant doesn't work it looks like a few dark spots kind of like moles(which are positioned like birds that fly in a v shape)sorry i wish i had more positive news

I know several men who use this.  They say you must stay on it for life once you begin Rogaine.\n\nI have not noticed that any of them grew more hair.  The product did stop further recessions of the hairline.\n\nMy father-in-law has been on it for more than 12 years...he just turned 70 and his hair line is just the same as it was when I met him 12 years ago.\n\nGood Luck!

You need to describe your baldness...is it a receding hairline? Or is it coming out in patches elsewhere?\n\nIf this is normal male-pattern baldness, you can take propecia, but beware that you are going to be sacrificng a lot of testosterone. This means sexual side-effects.

Not a damn thing you do at home will work.\n\nThere are all sorts of claims made by people about the cause of hair loss ranging from stress to nutrition to shampoos to wearing hats.  None of them are true.  None of them.\n\nUnless you are severely malnourished, your hair loss is hereditary and unstoppable without medical intervention.\n\nSome hair follicles around the head have certain receptors for a hormone called DHT (dihydroxytestosterone).  These poor hair follicles, upon binding DHT, start to produce thinner and weaker shafts of hair until they no longer produce hair at all.  Hair follicles can vary, it seems, in their sensitivity to DHT.  Obviously, hair follicles on the sides and back of a bald man's head are not sensitive to DHT.\n\nMedications such as Minoxodil produce limited results.  Minoxodil, believe it or not, was initially used to treat hypertension (if memory serves) and is basically a vasodilator that, when applied to the scalp, increases blood flow to the hair follicles.  You must apply it daily otherwise any improvement will be reversed.\n\nPropecia (a pill), on the other hand, is a DHT antagonist, that blocks DHT from reaching the DHT-sensitive hair follicles and thus allows these follicles to grow hair.  Same situation with DHT, however.  Stop taking it and you'll lose hair again.  Moreover, it affects the hormone that makes us act like men, which is why one of the side-effects of propecia can be decreased libido.  To hell with that, I say!  (Fortunately, I'm not bald!)\n\nThe only way known to man that restores hair are hair transplants.  Non-DHT-sensitive follicles are harvested and transplanted to bald areas of the scalp, and thus continue to grow (provided the graft survives).\n\nI've heard of some ridiculous home remedies though.  My older brother's hair was thinning several years ago, and my mother suggested that he apply olive oil to his scalp!

Often a dermatologist's first step is to use topical minoxidil, which is available without a prescription, to treat female pattern hair loss. It is applied to the scalp twice a day and must be used for at least four months before the patient will see results. "Minoxidil actually works to help reverse the shrinking process seen in these hair follicles and stimulates new hair growth," says Dr Callender. "It has been proven to re-grow hair in approximately 60 percent of women with female pattern hair loss." Minoxidil is the only hair regrowth treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use by women. \n\nAnother option is hair transplantation, a good choice for women experiencing minimal to moderate hair loss. Though most commonly performed in men, this procedure is becoming increasingly popular with women. This permanent form of hair replacement involves removing healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp and transplanting them to the areas of hair loss. \n\n"There are several factors that are considered in deciding whether or not a female patient is a good candidate for hair transplantation," says Dr Callender. "The most important is that the patient has healthy hair in another location that can be transplanted." While the replacement technique is the same for men and women, there are some additional challenges with women. Transplant locations are usually chosen based on the density and texture of the hair in various areas, which must be carefully considered, especially in women. \n\n"Because women typically have many different hairstyles to choose from, hairstyling must be taken into consideration when choosing the appropriate place to remove the hair," says Dr Callender. \n\nAnother option for women experiencing minimal hair loss is to employ the use of wigs and/or hair weaves. But Dr Callender stresses that, "Women experiencing hair loss should see their dermatologist for early diagnosis and proper treatment. By addressing the conditions early, many of the long-term social and emotional effects of female pattern hair loss can be avoided."

One method puts pressure on the scalp (scalp tourniquet) to block blood flow, thereby preventing the drugs from damaging the hair follicles. Another method uses ice or cooling devices (scalp hypothermia) to decrease the amount of drug taken up by the hair cells. Lastly, certain medications have been used to prevent alopecia.\nto treat an irritated and red scalp and minimize hair loss include:\n• using a mild shampoo\n• using hair brushes with soft bristles\n• avoiding the use of hair dryers, hot curlers, and curling irons\n• using the lowest setting on a hair dryer (if a dryer must be used)\n• avoiding hair dyes\n• avoiding permanent wave solutions\n• wearing sunscreen or a hat when outdoors\n• using a satin pillowcase

Rogaine is the most well known.\n\nAnd there are a couple of other ones. None guarantee anything. One might work for you better than the other . But before you start using them, you should know, the results will show, if at all, only after 6 months of regular use. By regular I mean twice daily. And you will never have your full growth back. The best results such products can provide is about 30% regrowth, with the amount of money and effort it seems hardly worth it. \n\nIn my opnion, a hair transplant is the best permament solution. Also, changing your shampoo to something mild, like a Johnsons Baby Shampoo might slower the hair fall.

If you're not balding too badly yet, you should see a doctor soon and start on Propecia. I've seen good results on my guy friend.

You will need Vitamin B12 I think, Zinc and a special hair and nails tablets. These are available from Holland & Barrett assuming you are in the UK.\n\nMy wife hair was falling out alot when she combed it. The doctor told her to take this tablets as she said she went completely bald but now has a full length hair. I've noticed my wife's hair is not falling out so much now.

Honestly, I had the same problem, but latelesly I've tried one formula, it realy works. Here it is: take whole egg, add one big spoon mayonaiz, 1 sp olive oil. Mix all and apply on your hair, leave it for at least 2hs, you may cover your head with foil paper. take nice shower.\nthis can be done once to twice a weak, and the other days while washing your hair try not to use the comb.\nGood luck:)

There are a number of hair replacement techniques that are available:\n\nHair Transplantation\nDuring hair transplantation, the surgeon removes small pieces of hair-bearing scalp grafts from the back or sides of the head. These grafts are then relocated to a bald or thinning area. The results are permaneant, look pretty natural and can be treated afterward as natural hair.  The price of these operations ranges from $2000 - $10000, although most surgeons offer some financing options.\n\nMedications:\nFinasteride (Propecia™)\nProcecia is a once a day pill and is clinically proven to maintain your hair count and even regrow hair at the crown and on the top of your head.  It has no effect on hairline balding.  It is available by prescription only, costs about $75 monthly and is covered by no insurance plans.  Once your discontinue taking Propecia, any new hair you regrew will fall out.\n\nminoxidil (Rogaine™)\nMinoxidil or Rogaine is topical solution that must be applied to the balding area twice a day, every day. Decreasing the dosage to once a day results in some hair loss, and discontinuing application causes regression to pretreatment baldness.\n\nPersonally, I would ask yourself what your goals are and how much you're willing to spend.  If you really want to keep your hair, transplant surgery is the only real long term solution and is more cost effective if you consider the money saved on propecia or rogaine.\nIf staving off your hairloss for 5 years or less is your main goal, then medical treatment is a completely satisfactory option.  For maximum effective treatment I would recommend using extra strength rogaine and propecia.

Hair fall? your hair is falling out? Do a hot oil treatment once a week. Dont brush as often, comb. wear a scarf to bed so the pillows wont pull your hair out. Or if all else fails, use rogaine for women.
