Minoxidil is effective. Many scientists believe that it reinvigorates hair follicles that have shrunken, prompting them to grow. This allows hair to re-grow and become thicker over a period of time. Minoxidil is the only treatment available over the counter that is scientifically proven to not only prevent hair loss but to prompt re-growth. Studies have shown that as many as four out of five male users have experienced a stop in hair loss.
It has been proven to work most effectively in men who have recently experienced thinning and hair loss around the upper part of their scalp, although some studies have also shown that it can also be advantageous for those experiencing one of the first signs of male pattern baldness, a receding hair line.
There is little doubt that Minoxidil helps to reduce hair loss and can prompt re-growth, although there are two distinct theories as to why this is actually the case.
