Hair loss in men is usually hereditary, and this is a permanent type of hair loss but there are treatments such as minoxidil that can stop the balding process and encourage hair to grow.
Hair loss can also be caused by illness, stress, hormonal changes, or medication.
The Sons’ range is designed for hair loss in men only.
While minoxidil can be used to treat female pattern baldness, the 5% solution is not recommended for women.
If you’re a woman suffering from hair loss, speak to your GP about the treatment options, or visit our hair loss for women information page.
There isn’t just one vitamin deficiency that can cause hair loss; having a lack of iron, vitamin D or zinc in the body can cause your hair to fall or thin out.
Iron provides nutrients and oxygen to your hair follicles to help them grow; if you don’t have enough iron, your hair will stop growing and eventually become thin.
Vitamin D also plays a key role in the creation of new hair follicles, helping to maintain the hair’s thickness and prevent it from falling out.
Not having enough zinc in your body can cause a similar reaction to having a lack of iron, and could damage your remaining hair by causing it to break.
You should not use minoxidil if your hair loss is anything other than hereditary.
This includes hair loss caused by medical treatments or an all over loss of body hair.
If you’re unsure what is causing your hair loss, speak to your doctor or pharmacist to see if this product is suitable for you.
