The difference between anti hair loss products
and hair growth products


Before you begin buying products against hair loss or products for hair growth be sure that you are clear about what you want.

Many people are disappointed after several weeks of using a shampoo against hair loss because they expect to make their hair grow.
In the business of producing such hair growth products or anti hair loss products, the producer knows which claims are applicable: is this designed to stimulate hair growth or is this designed to combat hair loss....
The claim is clearly stated but people choose either to ignore it or they overestimate it.

Therefore think twice about buying a product that is designed against hair loss if you want to stimulate your hair grow. The same principle applies vice-versa. Consider twice before spending on hair growing products if you want an anti hair loss (anti-baldness) effect.
By choosing clearly between these two options, you manage the expectations and you can focus on the real piece of work: choosing the right hair product for you

Read here on the topic: how to chose the best anti hair loss product for you


Products that stimulate hair growth
Such products to help hair grow are usually based on some chemical for of Minoxidil. It is believed that solutions for hair growth that contain 3 to 5% amino Minoxidil contribute to a better hair grow stimulation.
Various brands of hair growing products are available on the market.


Products against androgenetic hair loss
The products against androgenetic or baldness as known by the general public, are usually based on the principle of inhibiting the main enzyme which transforms testosterone into dihydrotestosterone: 5 alpha reductase (5ARD).





Remember, if you are looking for products against baldness (androgenetic hair loss) with 5ARD inhibitor (read on this page why), those products MUST include a form of 5 ARD inhibitor. Such an example is Prokeratin, a product against balding (alopecia androgenetica) that contains a fluidized form of 5ARD inhibitor which is effective against both types of enzyme: 5ARD type I and 5ARD type II.

As a rule of common sense, if you choose either a treatment against hair loss or a treatment for hair growth, the shampoo product of the line you want to buy, is the least effective medium to deliver the results you expect.
Why? Very simple: the contact time of the active ingredients for hair growth stimulation or the ingredient against hair loss or baldness, has insufficient contact time to work efficiently.
Always choose a combination of products, usually a shampoo against hair loss plus a serum or a lotion against hair loss.

Nevertheless, be patient and be consistent. Such products do not work over night and for the best results against hair loss, you must follow the instructions and use the products as the producer instructed. Most of the times you need to used the anti hairloss products for months before you notice visible improvements.
