It is estimated that approximately 75% of men will experience loss or hair thinning in one form or another during the course of their lives. Consequently, there is a huge demand for hair thickening products.

The main culprit for hair thinning is an enzyme called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
DHT is produced by the male hormone testosterone and is the the number one enemy in hair loss. It attacks the hair follicle and makes it shrink, causing the thinning effect over time. Although other factors such as a poor diet and stress can also foster thinning hair, DHT is to blame in the vast majority of cases.

The market for hair thickening products is huge. There are literally thousands of products promising to thicken hair and regrow hair. The fact, though, is that there are only 2 products approved by the FDA as a hair loss treatment. These are finasteride and Minoxidil.
Finasteride inhibits the formation of DHT and, on the other hand, it is believed that minoxidil increases the flow of blood to the hair follicles. Both products have had success in slowing down further hair loss and thinning hair, and even halting further thinning. In a few cases new hair has started to regrow as a result of using these products. Results of using the products can take up to one year before they are achieved and vary from person to person.

Besides Minoxidil and Finasteride hundreds of other products claim that they too can thicken hair, stop thinning and regrow hair. If you decide to try anything else, it is advised that you check out exactly what the ingredients are and whether they are safe. Even organic products can contain ingredients that might not be safe for everyone. Other alternatives or complements to a medical approach to thinning hair is the use of wigs and hair pieces. Although expensive at the top end the results can be excellent.
