When you talk to your doctor about your hair loss, your doctor may require some tests to determine if your hair loss is part of an underlying medical condition. If you have no other medical problems, you have two alternatives. You may ask your doctor for medication that is specifically designed to help men regrow their hair. Your other option is to find and start using shampoos designed to treat hair loss. If you go with the shampoo, talk to your barber or hairdresser, since they are the experts on hair care and can suggest a shampoo that will be effective in stopping your hair loss.

Consult a trusted hair care professional for a recommendation on the best shampoo and conditioner to stop or slow your hair loss and promote re-growth. These types of hair care products are often very expensive, some are even thirty dollars or more per bottle, so be prepared for a bit of sticker shock. Many people feel the extra cost is worth it when the alternative is going bald. Think about your own priorities and decide whether it is worth it to you before you buy.

The shampoo recommended most often by hair care professionals is Nioxin. Nioxin is characterized by an extremely powerful mint fragrance. Some people find it to be overwhelming, but choose to keep using it because it is effective. While many find the scent tolerable because it works, and is known to help hair grow back; some find the price tag to be a bigger drawback to continued use.

Hair loss can be managed by several types of Nioxin shampoos, leading to healthy looking hair. The Nioxin line includes eight distinct systems, each featuring four products with both shampoos and conditioners. These products can help existing healthy hair to grow again. There are also special formulas and treatments for hair that is damaged. Most of these products promote volume and thickness as well as providing protection from hair treatments that involve heat. For moist or wet hair, the product helps produce shine and facilitate easy styling.
