I just sat through an educational training in men's skincare. I was so impressed with one of the topics the brand rep touched on. She was teaching us about her company's products for thinning hair which has long been a major concern for men in this beauty industry. She was one of the first professionals to explain (or in my opinion), be honest about what triggers hair regrowth.

Oftentimes when you're being approached by a salesperson selling balding or thinning hair products, I feel, they leave you to believe that the product itself goes in and sort of drops seedlings of hairbud nutrients (if you will) instead of in actuallity, as far as I know, it's exfoliation, stimulation, circulation and scalp movement (along with depositing nutrients). There are indeed ingredients that are fabulous for your scalp but none are the absolute end all as to why you'll notice hair growth (with the expection for proven pharmaceuticals).

If you've ever felt the scalp of a bald man it's usually very tight and almost looks coated with a residue. This build-up needs to be exfoliated away in order for hair growth. Additionally moving the scalp via massage or soft brushing will also encourage hair growth. Think of the beautiful princess who brushes her hair one hundred strokes every night before bed. It really works! Those gorgeous locks are from the stimulation, not just because she's a princess in a fairty tale.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from hair loss take a look at products and/or brands that exfoliate the scalp, increase stimulation and circulation, and incorporate massage or brushing into the regimen. I think you just may see better results.

However, if you're already using hair loss products under the care of a physician, obviously only use as he or she has directed.
