Clutches for Less

It is estimated that 50 percent or more of men will suffer from some form of baldness in their lives, generally the result of the inherited condition known as male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia. Minoxidil is one of 2 products approved by the FDA for use as a baldness treatment in men. But will minoxidil use work for you?

There are hundreds of baldness cures on the internet, but only minoxidil and finasteride have been approved by the FDA to reverse thinning hair in men and the FDA has only approved minoxidil as a baldness treatment by women.

Therefore it makes complete sense that there are only 2 products which are proven to work to reverse thinning hair in men, and only one of the these is proven to reverse thinning hair in women.

If any of the other hundreds of so-called miracle cures for baldness on the internet had sufficient scientific evidence to convince the FDA that they were a successful baldness treatment you can be absolutely sure that the company that manufactured them would apply to the FDA immediately for approval. Getting a product approved as a baldness treatment will make millions, so if they were able to successfully achieve it they would apply for approval today.

Minoxidil is the single product that the FDA has approved for use in cases of thinning hair in men and women. But before you start using minoxidil you need to understand a few things.

Clearly minoxidil works. If it didn’t the FDA would not have approved it. But this doesn’t mean that minoxidil works for everybody. There are cancer treatments which are proven to work, but they don’t work for everybody and it’s unrealistic to expect any baldness treatment, no matter how effective, to be any different. Minoxidil use may or may not reverse your thinning hair, though the chances that it will work are better than just about anything else.

Secondly you must understand that if you start minoxidil use to treat a hair loss problem you must commit to a minimum amount of time before you make any judgement about whether it is working for you. 2 months is not sufficient time to use a product before deciding whether it is working. You should commit to a minimum of 6 months and preferably 12 months before you make any decisions about whether minoxidil use is reversing your thinning hair.

And the third thing that you need to understand before beginning using minoxidil for a hair loss treatment is that even if you get an outstanding result you need to continue using the product to maintain that result. Dicontinuing minoxidil use, even amongst those with demonstrated reversal of hair loss, will result in the thinning hair returning.

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.
