Winter season is here and hair loss is a common concern that affects millions worldwide, with solutions ranging from topical treatments to surgical procedures to help you regain your mane.

Here are some scientifically supported options for managing hair loss and promoting regrowth:

Minoxidil

It is most effective for men but is not recommended for women of childbearing age. If you enjoy sex, this may not be the drug for you, but it will get your hair back.

Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil

I know you’ve probably heard bad things, but it was all a hoax! Mielle’s Rosemary oil has shown promise in improving hair density and thickness, with some studies suggesting its effectiveness rivals that of 2 per cent minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia.

This medical procedure involves injecting platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s blood into the scalp. The growth factors in the plasma can stimulate dormant hair follicles, making it an effective option for early to moderate hair loss.
