Various types of hair products are available worldwide. These may vary from medications to grooming products. Grooming products include, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, treatment solutions and dyes.

Shampoos are intended to remove oil and dirt from the hair and scalp. Most shampoos on the market today will adequately clean the hair and scalp. Shampoos contain detergents, foaming agents, thickeners, softeners and fragrances. Detergents are the main primary sebum and dirt removal ingredients, however excessive removal of sebum leaves the hair dull and difficult to comb. This increased concentration of detergent requires the use of conditioners.

After shampooing, the hair should be treated with a conditioner to guarantee manageability and shine to the hair. Conditioners may be added to the shampoo or applied separately after the shampooing and rinsing process is done. Conditioners may contain thickening agents and proteins. Hair thickening conditioners apply a thin layer of polymer to the hair shaft. This polymer fills the hair shaft defects, creating a smooth surface to increase shine and lustre whilst eliminating static electricity and increasing manageability. Protein conditioning agents contain proteins, which enter the hair shaft, strengthen the hair shaft and mend split ends.

There are literally thousands of hair products on the market which claim to be effective in stopping hair loss. Just visit your hairdresser or pharmacy and you will be offered various lotions, shampoos or other medications. How effective are they is anybody's business but one thing for sure is that there are two medications which are classified as medicinals. This means that they have been approved by the relevant authorities, in this case the FDA, as medications in order to stop hair loss. Other hair products do not have this certification and their effectiveness is therefore questioned. The two medications we are referring to are minoxidil, which is a lotion and finasteride, which comes in tablet form. Lotions tend to be preferred rather than taking a tablet for life. Lotions involve applying the liquid externally and one tends to feel more at easy applying an external lotion rather than taking a tablet. In any case the tablet has a certain side effect which tends to put patients off.

There are so many hair products on the market but one tends to buy a product that is advertised frequently. New hair products are being produced virtually daily especially lotions. Some medications may have some temporary benefit but the most reliable product is minoxidil. There are hair products which have been produced in China, United States of America, South America, Australia and virtually every country in the world. Where does one start? How does one know which hair product to choose? Some hair products claim to grow a full head of hair on a completely bald head just by applying the lotion once daily. You would be foolish to believe that such medications could possibly give such a result. Yet there are people who fall for this type of gimmick. Some bogus clinics charge hundreds of pounds for carrying out a treatment using some magic potion. Recently a lady in the United States was arrested for applying a medication to patients scalps and charging hundreds of dollars for her bogus lotion. 

If you are suffering from thinning hair and hair loss it is always best to visit your doctor. A doctor would prescribe a medical product which is obviously an approved product. By just purchasing a hair product that you may come across at your hairdresser or pharmacy, you are just buying one hair product out of thousands which happens to be on the shelf in that particular outlet. Some patients tend to choose a shampoo in the hope that thinning hair would stop. Unfortunately no shampoo has yet been produced in order to stop hair loss and thinning hair. The answer is a lotion which one leaves on his head. Shampoos are rinsed away and would have no benefit whatsoever against hair loss. Minoxidil lotion is a medication and is highly recommended. Used twice daily applying 1ml of the lotion in the morning and 1ml in the evening, this medication would stop hair loss after six weeks and start to thicken thinning hair after ten weeks. This is the medication that your doctor would prescribe. It is the only lotion which is classified as a pharmaceutical. Minoxidil lotion is available is 2% ad 5% strengths. It may also be formulated using additives such as minoxidil lotion with tretinoin or minoxidil lotion with nicotinate. Certain medications formulated using such additives as tretinoin and nicotinate or even finasteride, azelaic acid and progesterone have proved to be effective in combating hair loss and thinning hair.
