Choosing a Hair Loss Product

Choosing a Hair Loss Product Encourage new hair growth...Retain existing hair..Nutritional supplements...Nourish and improve hair quality...Head protection...Further information about Hair loss...

Hereditary hair loss or "male pattern baldness" is a genetic condition where as we age, hair becomes thinner, weaker and begins to stop growing altogether. Hereditary hair loss is caused by Testosterone (DHT) which is found in the scalp and is absorbed by the hair follicles. This testosterone weakens the hair root and prematurely ends the hair follicles growth cycle, leaving them dormant. This condition may begin in men from their early 20's. Hair loss is also a concern for women during the menopause when female hormones decrease leaving testosterone levels higher. However the condition caused by DHTs is not as severe in women as that in men and very rarely results in total baldness. To view all products catered specifically for female hair loss, click here...

Encourage new hair growth...

Some treatments encourage hair to grow by stimulating the scalp. This method is more successful if hair loss is caught earlier and if the hair follicles haven't mostly died. If you have experienced hair loss over many years, it is unlikely these treatments will work well if at all.

Below are medicinal treatments that can improve the condition of your hair if you are thin on top and in some cases you can encourage new hair to grow. Take a look below at our hair growth treatments...  

Regaine

Regaine  
Regaine is a pharmacy treatment. It helps to prevent further hairloss and helps regrow hair in both men and women.

Within the Regaine range there are two strengths of Regaine; Regular Strength, Regaine Gel and Regaine For Women contains 2% mionoxidil and is suitable for men and women. Regaine Extra Strength contains 5% minoxodil and is just for men.   More >>>

Retain existing hair..

There are hair and scalp products catered to preventing hair loss and blocking DHTs. DHT blocking is a different way to combat hair loss. It is a system Express Chemist highly recommends you try using along side a hair growth treatment like Regaine (featured above). If you are worried about losing your hair, especially if it runs in your family, we suggest you use a product such as Alpecin Shampoo or NuHair DHT blocking tablets, even if hair loss hasn't started yet!
