Hair Loss – it’s an ugly truth about getting older. Some people are unaffected and some people just shave their heads and couldn’t care less. For the rest of the population out there, know that there is help.

I have seen quite a few remedies on the market but some of them have not been tested and should make any responsible consumer a little doubtful. If you’ve decided you want to tackle your hair loss, start with a reputable brand that has undergone testing for safety and effectiveness.

Rogaine has been on the market for some time, starting out prescription only and then making its way to the over-the-counter market. It’s a chemical formula that’s ideal for genetic thinning at the crown of the head that occurs in both men and women. Rogaine Men’s Foam Triple Pack is a more recent addition to the product line and is actually like a mousse that men can apply directly to the scalp. It makes it easier to control when there’s little hair to keep the product in place. The women’s formula, Rogaine Regular Strength for Women Triple Pack is in a lower strength made especially for women. All Rogaine products are FDA approved. Results can be seen within two to four months of starting the twice daily treatment.

While Rogaine has had great results, some people have experienced some irritation with the formula. There are others who consider an application twice a day to be inconvenient. For those people, the HairMax LaserComb is a good alternative. It’s an FDA cleared device that should be used three times a week for 10-15 minutes. Results can be seen in as little as 12 weeks of starting treatments with the HairMax.

In recent years more women have been talking about thinning lashes and eyebrows. False eyelashes and makeup have been around for ages but they never did anything to improve the thinning condition. RapidLash Eyelash Renewal Serum actually encourages growth by rejuvenating the lashes at the root. At the same time hydrators help to strengthen the lashes and improve elasticity. This product by RapidLash can also be used to restore thinning eyelashes.

It’s good to know that there are options if you’re experiencing thinning of the hair, lashes or eyebrows. Please write in and tell us if you have an experience with hair loss products.
