How to Stop Hair Loss

For many years marketing campaigns have succeeded in pushing us to buy all kinds of miracle remedies that promise to keep our hair longer and even prevent hair loss.

Shampoos, lotions, tonics, hair-growth ampoules, and medicines can be easily found in any pharmacy or even in the supermarket. However, before spending all your money on the most expensive product it is important to be informed about the truth of hair loss shampoos, as well as what you should be doing to find a definitive solution to your hair loss problem.

Do hair loss shampoos work for alopecia?

Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you but the truth is that no hair loss shampoo will stop the inevitable path of baldness, and even less when it comes to male pattern hair loss. Nevertheless, there are some dermatological products that serve only as a complement to the treatment provided by a hair restoration specialist. In other words, these products do not bring a permanent solution to hair loss on their own, but they can help to boost the results.

Currently, there are only a couple of FDA-approved drugs for treating male pattern baldness: finasteride in tablet form and topical minoxidil.

Both have gone through large-scale clinical trials and have shown to stop hair loss and to some extent make hair grow back. The bad news is that the moment the person stops the treatment with any of these methods, it is very likely that baldness will continue its course after a few months.

We will never get tired of saying it, but before getting involved in whatever remedy you found on the internet or spending a fortune on shampoos that promise nothing but lies, the first step is always to consult a specialist.
