Thinning hair can be a result of various health and lifestyle factors. Consequently, there are plenty of things you can do to improve the overall appearance of your locks-from eating biotin-rich foods like eggs, to trying out a supplement like Nature’s Bounty. (Even if you’re not losing hair, a biotin or keratin supplement is just a good idea to help strengthen the look of hair, nails and skin.)
Hair loss can also be corrected by incorporating one of the best hair growth products into your hair care routine. Experts agree that hair growth serums and leave-in treatments containing the FDA-approved ingredient minoxidil have been clinically proven to reverse the signs of hair loss and hair thinning.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil would have to be the item of choice to support hair regrowth," board certified dermatologist Anna Chacon tells us. "It has been around for decades, and is an oral antihypertensive medication that was also found to have positive benefits for hair loss, as it increases hair growth."
She continues, "It is actually taken in Europe, orally, to help increase hair growth, usually in very low doses. In the U.S., it is most commonly used as a topical solution for hair loss, usually available in 2-5% of strength. Beyond that, it crystallizes. Available in various formulas (foam vs. solution), it is made by several companies, such as 'Rogaine.' Its popularity and widespread use have made it more affordable on the market, as low as about $10 on Amazon."
Women's Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam is the #1 dermatologist recommended hair regrowth treatment. Proven to reverse thinning hair and hair loss, it's an easy choice for anyone who's feeling self-conscious about their strands!
Powered by 5 percent minoxidil and enriched with known scalp conditioners such as alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), the leave in treatment promotes a healthy scalp environment and wards off future damage.
Women's Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam may be one of the top products, but there are also other good choices containing minoxidil. Formulated with 2 percent minoxidil, Keranique Hair Growth Treatment restores hair's shine, texture and strength, while Hers Minoxidil Topical Hair Growth Solution reverses hair fallout by reinvigorating the hair follicles.
No matter what you choose, be sure to look for the FDA-approved ingredient minoxidil while browsing products online or in stores. As an over-the-counter medicine proven to reduce the signs of hair loss, it's critical to powering the kind of results you want to see.
