Hair loss is a problem for loads of guys. Considering hair massively affects looks and that we're so vain these days, there is an absolutely massive industry out there for its cure. Unfortunately, most of these will be a complete waste of money. This overview gives you the only proven methods out there; cures that have backing from consumers and scientists alike. Stick to these and you have a chance of keeping and maybe even regrowing your hair.
Propecia (finasteride)
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT for short) is the main cause of hair loss for both men and women. Forget stress, forget a bad diet, forget any other crazy excuse you have thought of. I would put my money on DHT. Propecia is the only proven method to fight DHT and stops further hair loss almost completely if you respond to the treatment. There's almost no point using any other product unless you at least use Propecia, or a generic equivalent.
Regaine (minoxidil)
Regaine, or Rogaine as it's known in the United States, is the only hair growth product that has been approved by the FDA (note: Propecia is also approved, but it stops DHT as opposed to focusing on regrowth like minoxidil). It's an incredible product that can give you your head of hair back, as long as you use it twice per day and alongside finasteride. It sometimes even works on the hairline.
Nizoral (ketoconazole shampoo)
Forget all of the expensive fancy shampoos you've seen advertised. They will not work. Nizoral is the only shampoo that gets positive feedback time and time again. Remember DHT? Nizoral assists in slowing down hair loss by attacking the androgen receptors in the scalp. In addition, this product will ensure that your scalp is in optimal health so that your other products work to the best of their ability. It's cheap and it works, what else is there to know?
I hope you don't fall for any of the expensive hair loss products you see out there. They simply won't work, I can promise you that. Stick to the three products I've discussed in this article and you have a very good chance of keeping your hair. You need to act fast, though. Once the hair dies it's gone forever and nothing will get it back.
Hair Transplant
As a final measure, consider getting a hair transplant. These days you can get some amazing results, but you're going to have to be extremely careful with this. You're going to have to do a lot of research before finding the right doctor. It can be a tricky procedure and it's not easy finding a decent hair transplant surgeon. Don't fall for any of the hype. Try and get in touch with actual patients and find reviews on the hair loss forums online. Be very careful and only pull the trigger once you're absolutely sure. You don't want to have your scalp butchered!
