For eons, thinning hair has been the source of jokes, ridicules and the punch lines. When people see a person with thinning hair, they laugh. Thinning hair affects a person’s body image. This is a hindrance to meet people and hook up with girls (or guys) because of poor self-image. As for women, they have a tougher time. Comparing a woman with full hair to one with thinning hair is a no contest. Because of this, one can suffer from poor self-esteem, depression and death.

For decades, medicine and science has been tirelessly researching on effective thinning hair solutions. After failed attempts, they have finally discovered new breakthroughs for hair growth found in the chemicals known as Minoxidil and Finasteride.

Discovered in the early 1980s, Minoxidil was originally invented to solve the problems of high blood pressure. But the side effect of this new drug was the reversal or slowing down of baldness. Another accidental solution perhaps? They tested it and it was found out that the participants of the experiment who placed about five percent (5%) worth of the Minoxidil solution for 32 weeks on their scalp found a great improvement in hair growth.

On the other hand, Finasteride was originally intended to treat the prostate enlargement. Discovered in the late 1990s, the chemical somehow brought hair growth as well. Then, they conducted a five-year study to see if this is for real. Those who participated were men of gentle to medium hair loss. It resulted to an astounding 48% hair growth.

Undergoing such treatment entails commitment and money. Before buying anything related to Minoxidil or Finasteride, please consult your physician. Ask questions about these drugs, how it will affect you and what consequences will you be experiencing once you go through this procedure.

As always, results may vary depending on the situation of the person especially if thinning hair is hereditary. Genetics play an important role in finding the personal thinning hair cure. Those who have a lineage of thinning hair do have a higher percentage of failure. But all is not lost.

The mission continues. Thinning hair solutions are a million dollar industry and the need continues to escalate. Will we be able to find the ultimate thinning hair cure? Only time will tell.
