Estimates are that over 50 percent of men will suffer from thinning hair during their lives and this is usually a result of inheriting the condition called androgenetic alopecia, or what is commonly known as male pattern baldness. There are 2 products approved by the FDA as baldness treatments for men and minoxidil is one of those products. But will minoxidil use reverse your thinning hair?

There’s dozens if not hundreds of baldness cures on the Internet. Apart from minoxidil and finasteride none of them are approved by the FDA for use as a baldness treatment, and minoxidil is the only product approved by the FDA for use as a balding 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 hundreds of other baldness cures advertised on the internet had sufficient scientific evidence behind it to prove to the satisfaction of the FDA that they work to reverse thinning hair you can bet the application would be made to the FDA as fast as possible. To get a baldness treatment successfully approved by the FDA could be likened to a licence to print money, and any company that was able to produce this evidence in support of their product would seek approval as fast as possible.

But whilst minoxidil is the only FDA approved treatment of thinning hair in both men and women, you do need to understand a few things about minoxidil use before you start using minoxidil to treat your baldness problem.

Obviously minoxidil works to reverse thinning hair or the FDA would not have approved it. But just because it is proven to work doesn’t mean that it works for everybody. Just as there are cancer treatments which are proven to work to treat cancer, they do not work for everybody, and it is not realistic to expect minoxidil to be any different. Do not expect that just because it works for others that it will also work for you, though of course there is a good chance that it will.

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 judgment 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 last thing to understand about using minoxidil for hair loss is that even if you have a successful result you will need to continue using minoxidil to maintain that result. If you discontinue minoxidil use all of the hair regrowth that you have achieved will gradually be lost again and your thinning hair will return.

There is no doubt that using minoxidil works to reverse baldness in men as well as women, but you need to have realistic expectations and understand that this does not mean it will work to reverse your thinning hair. To increase the likelihood that minoxidil used for you there is now a new product which combines minoxidil together with a range of essential hair nutrients which has been found to increase the effectiveness of minoxidil use for thinning hair.
