What Actually Works for Hair Loss?
There are countless products claiming to stop hair loss, but the reality is only a few treatments have real scientific backing. If you want to stop hair loss and regrow hair, here’s what actually works:
1. Finasteride – The Only True Hair Loss Stopper
Finasteride (Propecia/Proscar) is the most effective treatment for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It works by blocking DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for hair loss.
✔️ Stops hair loss in 90% of men
✔️ Regrows hair in about 60-65% of cases
✔️ Works long-term as long as you take it

2. Oral Minoxidil – The Game Changer
Minoxidil (originally a blood pressure medication) is well-known in topical form (Regaine), but oral minoxidil is now becoming the most effective and convenient option for hair regrowth. It works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles, keeping them active and extending the hair growth phase.
✔️ Stimulates new hair growth
✔️ Works best when combined with finasteride
✔️ Lower doses (1.25-5mg daily) minimize side effects
✔️ Patients love it because it requires no messy application
💡 This is a true game-changer for hair loss treatment, offering better compliance and excellent results.

3. Topical Minoxidil – The Classic Growth Booster
For those who prefer a topical solution, 5% Minoxidil solution remains highly effective. It works by prolonging the growth phase of hair follicles and increasing blood supply to the scalp.
✔️ Boosts localized hair growth
✔️ Best used twice daily for optimal results
✔️ Works well alongside finasteride and ketoconazole shampoo

4. Ketoconazole Shampoo – A Must for Scalp Health
Using ketoconazole shampoo once or twice a week may help by reducing inflammation and DHT activity on the scalp.
✔️ Keeps the scalp healthy and reduces inflammation
✔️ May slightly reduce DHT locally
✔️ Best used alongside finasteride and minoxidil

5. Dutasteride – A Stronger Alternative to Finasteride
For those who don’t respond well to finasteride, dutasteride (Avodart) is a more powerful DHT blocker, inhibiting both Type I and Type II 5-alpha reductase enzymes.
✔️ Stronger DHT suppression than finasteride
✔️ Can be an option for resistant hair loss cases
✔️ Not officially approved for hair loss but prescribed off-label

What About New Treatments Like Sugar Molecules?
There’s recent buzz around sugar-based treatments like 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR), which supposedly stimulate blood flow to hair follicles. While early studies show promise, there’s no solid proof they work better than finasteride or minoxidil.
🚨 For now, stick to proven treatments.
