How Do You Find The Best Baldness Cures On The Internet?

There are tens of millions or possibly even hundreds of millions of men in the US searching for a baldness cure. It is estimated that around 50 percent of men will suffer some form of balding and most of them will hate it. For this reason baldness cures, particularly on the Internet, are big business. But how do you go about finding a genuine cure for baldness?

Baldness cures of any type are not cheap. For this reason the market for hair loss treatments is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and where there is a market that size there will be many many products available. However that does not mean that they all work or even that they are all safe for anyone to use.

The Internet is pretty much unregulated and it's very easy to put up a website selling hair loss treatments. There is no requirement that anyone who does this demonstrate that their hair loss treatment does anything to reverse hair loss or even that it is safe to use. You have to beware of any cures for baldness on the net.

Baldness cures on the Internet can often be a scam and is unlikely that many of them will regrow your hair and even worse they may damage your health and your wallet. So maybe you should just forget about finding a good hair loss treatment.

No, don't forget about it at all. In the US there is an organization that is required to regulate products like this. The FDA is tasked with that job and has approved 2 products as men's hair loss treatments. The FDA has satisfied itself that both these products work to treat of men's baldness, including male pattern baldness which causes over 90 percent of thinning hair in men.

It is fair to assume that where the FDA has approved a product as a men's hair loss treatment that there is sufficient evidence, in the form of proper scientific studies, that these products work to reverse hair loss. However it is also true that these products will not work as a cure for baldness for every man suffering from male pattern balding. It is too much to expect any product to work for everybody.

The FDA has approved minoxidil and finasteride as men's hair loss treatments. Finasteride is marketed as Propecia and is not approved for use in cases of women's hair loss because it has been demonstrated to cause some serious side-effects for women. It can also have some side-effects for men including loss of libido.

Minoxidil is approved as a hair loss treatments for men and women and is the only product so approved. The current wisdom is that it works because it improves the flow of blood to hair follicles which increases the flow of nutrients so that the hair follicle can absorb more nutrition. In cases of male pattern baldness the actual hair thinning is caused by a male hormone which restricts the flow of nutrients to the hair follicle so this would seem to make sense.

One company has seen a way to improve the results that you may expect. If minoxidil improves the flow of blood to the hair follicle to make more nutrients available, then if those nutrients are supplied in optimum quantities then this will maximize the chances of optimum hair regrowth.

It seems that this approach is more effective than simply using minoxidil by itself.

Remember, whilst there may be dozens or hundreds of baldness cures on the Internet, none of them are approved by the FDA except for finasteride and minoxidil. Minoxidil alone is approved for both men and women.
