Best Hair Loss Solutions for Men and Women

Hair loss is very difficult to accept. It can be a really traumatic experience.

For most women and men, heredity is the main culprit. No matter what causes hair loss, here are some of the best solutions you can try.

- Rogaine is one of only two FDA-approved medicines for the treatment of hereditary hair loss in men, and the only one for women. It is available over the counter in liquid and foam. The active ingredient in Rogaine, Minoxidil, maintains hair and can regrow thick hair. The big disadvantage is that you must use the solution for up to 12 months before seeing results and you need to use it for the rest of your life. Cost is about $30 to $50 for 30 days supply.

- Propecia is the other FDA-approved treatment for male pattern baldness. Women should not use it. Propecia is a prescription tablet containing the active ingredient finasteride. It also maintains and regrows hair. You must take the tablets for up to one year before noticing results and any gains will be lost if you stop taking them. Cost is about $60 to $70 for 90 days supply.

- Hair transplant today is virtually undetectable. Transplanted hairs start to look natural after about 6 months. Cost is $3 to $10 per graft. In other words, transplant surgery can cost between $2,500 and $15,000.

- Laser therapy is a newer solution. It is available in hair restoration clinics and salons or you can use a hand-held device for home use such as the HairMax LaserComb or a cheaper machine called Lasertron Hair Brush.

- Dietary supplements such as Biotin, some amino acids and other vitamin, mineral and herbal combinations can help in some cases to directly or indirectly stimulate hair growth.

Here are some of the best hair growth products that will help your hair grow faster.
