What works for hair loss/balding?

I'm 25, and the very front of my hair is slowly becoming less and less. right above my foerhead, and not on the sides or anywhere else. I have seen ';rogain foam'; It looks like a pretty easy, and not so embarassing choice. Does it work? Will it work for the front of my hair? how long will it take?





The stuff is expensive, $30 a can. Is there better products? thanks, I'm clueless and have been embarassed to ask.What works for hair loss/balding?
Hi there, you should seek professional advise to find out if it is genetic or if there is another cause to the problem (if you want to have a clue, look at your dad or grandad and see if they are are bald)


I would say that if it is hereditary, the only short cut is a hair transplant, although you might not need that yet. Also beware of the side effects


having said that, there are certain products that might help keep your hair longer until science finds a miracle 100% solution for our alopecia.





If it is not hereditary, that is a good sign as there are some excellent products to help you not just to stop hair loss but also help you to promote new growth.





Rogain seems to be an excellent product for many people, however it did not work that well for me. I am using something that is working great for me (see the resource box) but gain, it might not be for you and it does not go cheap either (nothing good is cheap, lol).





I am using a shampoo called ';alcepin'; prety good as well, but again is about finding the cause first and then finding out the treatment that suits you (and your budget, I guess! :)What works for hair loss/balding?
Hi, rocky


To recommend some products for you, first I want to tell you a little bit about the cause of the hair loss:





The Main Culprit in Male Hair Loss--DHT





Dihydrotestostrone (DHT) is a hormonal byproduct of testosterone that has been shown to shorten the growth phase of hair by retarding follicle growth. While DHT is essential for early development, it can attach to hair follicles as men get older, which causes the follicle to get smaller and smaller, and the hairs to get thinner鈥攅ventually falling out. The result is fewer visible hairs, and if left untreated, can result in male pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia). Inhibiting DHT formation can help prevent early thinning and hair loss.





';Provillus鈩?Hair Growth Treatment for Men'; uses a proprietary blend of botanicals that naturally inhibit DHT formation, while also providing nutritional support for prostate health . Saw Palmetto and Nettle are two key ingredients, both of which block DHT and have been used in traditionally for many years.
I wanna know too!!! My husband is only 21, and he's getting a bald spot on the top / back of his head ): poor guy





I have heard certain products wont work for certain kinds of balding... does this mean genetic vs hair loss due to damage?
God knows, but I wanna know as well!
