Minoxidil and Hair Loss Blog

We carry over the counter hair loss products for both men and women. However, we receive a lot of questions asking us about hair loss in areas other than the top of the scalp. Rogaine and Minoxidil have not bee approved by the FDA to regrow hair in any areas other than the top of the human scalp. If your hair loss appears on the top of your head, as in this picture, and you have hair loss somewhere in your family (on either your mother or father’s side) then Rogaine or Minoxidil may work for you. If and how well it may work for you depends on a number of different factors. The most important factor is how soon after the thinning of the hair on your scalp you start treatment. Studies have shown that the sooner you begin using Rogine or Minoxidil, the more effective they will be.

Hereditary hair loss, or hair loss that can be found in your family lineage is different than spotty hair loss. Spotty hair loss, or balding areas that appear on the side of the scalp, are not usually due to hereditary factors and are usually caused by diet, stress, or other medications. If you are experiencing spotty hair loss, then you should consult your physician about possible treatments. This may also be a sign of some deficiency or physical problem. In this case, Rogaine and Minoxidil are not an option to help regrow your hair.

Using “No More Tears” from Johnson and Johnson was something our parents did for us, because it didn’t hurt when we were splashing around in the tub. However, using a quality shampoo is really one of the best things you can do to keep your scalp healthy. Granted, hair loss is primarily a hereditary problem, you should take care of your hair just like you should take care of the rest of your body. There are many great shampoos on the market, but unfortunately, they cost a bit more than ordinary “drug store” shampoos. But, don’t be tempted by bargain prices. Find a shampoo that works with your hair as well as your budget. Your hair will thank you.

Why is it that haircuts are so important to people in “positions of authority”? It seems that this has been the basis for so many arguments and controversies. A school in Liverpool is facing legal action after they excluded seven students from lessons for five days after the students refused to cut their hair at the request of the school. The really funny part is that the parents agreed to this nonsense when they enrolled their kids in the school, now they are suing. Comedy.
