HAIR LOSS

Hair loss will affect more than 40% of all men and women at some point in their lives. Although the causes may be different, hair loss in both sexes has similar effects; embarrassment, loss of confidence, and for some even emotional devastation. And in case you think people are too sensitive about the issue, societal studies have shown that people with a full head of hair are treated better and with more respect than those without.

While prescription medications for hair loss can be effective, they can also be very expensive and carry a host of unwanted side effects. In response to this, many people have turned to non-prescription solutions and achieved similar, or even better, results. In addition, natural hair loss formulas contain zero side effects, and the best solutions come with a money-back guarantee - something you won't find on many prescription hair loss drugs!

When looking at different hair loss treatments, you should consider a variety of factors. Some of these include:

•  Effectiveness.  Does the hair loss product do what it claims? Does it have clinical studies to back up its effectiveness? How long must you take it before you see results?

•  Convenience.  If the hair loss treatment is too complex, you may decide to just not use it. Are you comfortable with the treatment process?

•  Cost.  How expensive is the hair loss solution, compared with similar products?

TopConsumerReviews.com has reviewed and ranked the best hair loss treatments available today. We hope you find these reviews helpful in restoring your full head of hair!

FREE - informational DVD describing the hair transplant process

 

Bosley is a men's hair transplant service. To give you a better understanding of the hair transplant process, and their approach to it, they are willing to send you a free dvd explaining the procedure. They put a lot of emphasis on their dedication and continuous one-on-one support for their customers.

A hair transplant is a permanent surgical procedure. After consultation and the development of a customized plan, the process involves removing hair from the back of the scalp and then strategically implanting it where it is needed, all under a local anesthetic. The process is virtually pain free and because of the elasticity of the scalp, the only evidence of the surgery is a thin line that is hidden under the hair that grows vertically on the back of the head.

Bosley has performed more hair transplants than any other medical group in the world.  They've been in business since 1974 and have pioneered virtually every major advancement in the field of hair transplantation over the last 30 years. Their Board-certified doctors specialize in, and are dedicated to, hair transplants and restoration - not a multitude of cosmetic procedures.

The Bosley website is informative and professional. They staff their phones with friendly and knowledgeable people, who can answer detailed questions and provide more information on their process. Because each case is different, it's impossible to give accurate price quotes without a consultation - but a permanent hair restoration process like this can run into hundreds or even several thousand dollars.

The Bosley dvd guide is an excellent source for information describing all aspects of the hair transplant procedure. The fact that they offer this dvd for free is an exceptional value. If you are serious about solving your hair loss problem, you owe it to yourself to get this dvd, even if you pursue other immediate, less expensive options. You've got absolutely nothing to lose.

The Hair Loss Control Clinic website, which offers the HairScripts Complete product, is a very good source for anyone looking to learn more about the different causes for hair loss and how to remedy them.

HLCC has been in business for almost 20 years and have given their "Best DHT Blocker" title to HairScripts Complete. This is a 3rd generation herbal alternative to Propecia, which is a prescription hair loss treatment. HairScripts Complete blocks DHT from attacking and shrinking your hair follicles. It was designed to fight pattern hair loss in both men and women of all ethnicities. It is safe and can even be taken in conjunction with other products to enhance results. HairScripts Complete contains all essential vitamins, minerals, 8 DHT blockers and nutraceuticals that are helpful for hair growth. It is also convenient to use, because it comes in capsule form and is to be taken twice a day.

In addition to HairScripts Complete, the Hair Loss Control Clinic also offers a variety of other hair restoration products. These include scalp therapies, shampoos, and conditioners, and package deals that can give you a full range of treatments for a relatively lower cost.

Our major complaint with the Hair Loss Control Clinic is their lack of a money-back guarantee. When contacted about this, they said they don't have a "money-back policy" in place and haven't needed one in the past. Unfortunately, we feel that consumer refund policies are vitally important, especially when shopping over the internet.

Still, the HairScripts Complete solution itself is a quality product. Backed by years of research, it combines effective ingredients in a convenient form. However with no refund policy, we're forced to downgrade the product since you have no protection over changes in ingredients or production methods. If other hair loss treatments haven't worked for you, you might consider HairScripts Complete; otherwise we'd suggest first trying one of our top-rated selections.

Revivogen is a topical scalp therapy formula. It is effective for both men and women in combating excessive hair loss and revitalizing your own hair. There are three steps to the program: shampoo, conditioner, and scalp therapy. These products are all natural and dermatologist formulated to inhibit DHT production, block the Androgen Receptors and prevent DHT from attacking the hair follicles.

The scalp therapy formula must be applied at least once a day to the affected area and you must avoid washing your hair for at least three hours, giving the active ingredients time to be absorbed into the scalp. This method is able to block DHT in the scalp, allowing the hair follicles to rejuvenate and produce thicker and stronger hair.

When using Revivogen on a daily basis, most people see a decrease in hair loss after four to five weeks. After about 4 months the scalp begins to look fuller and denser. Revivogen has no side effects for most, but 2% of users have reported mild scalp irritation. Revivogen is offered with a 90-day money back guarantee.

Unfortunately, Revivogen lacks the supplement component that allows your body to work at preventing hair loss from the inside out. While the topical treatment can be effective, a better long-range solution would be to combine Revivogen with one of our top-rated products.

If you're looking for a topical-only solution to combat hair loss, then Revivogen is a very good product. However, if you want your body to help in the fight against hair loss, Revivogen as a stand-along product falls short. If you want to use Revivogen, we recommend using it in conjunction with one of our top-rated products to truly realize your best chance for success.

This may be the prettiest hair loss prevention website in our review. Full of video testimonials and before/after photos, the information is presented in a nice, professional layout. They advertise that they have had over 300,000 customers in their first year. That is quite a feat, but it is difficult to focus on the number of customers, no matter how large, when the product has been around for such a short time.

Scalp Med has separate hair loss formulas for both men and women who want to regrow hair on the top of their scalps. The formulas are almost identical. Both solutions consist of three steps; Vitadil-5A, which contains the growth agent; Cortex Enlarger for instant body and fullness; and Nutrisol-RM, which contains vital nutrients for hair regrowth. The Scalp Med formula is safe for all types of hair and there are no side effects associated with Scalp Med.

This package of products is designed to deliver essential amino acids, nutrients and growth agents directly to the matrix cells in the bulb of the hair. It revitalizes the follicle and regrows the hair.

The application of the products is not as convenient as the other solutions in our review. They can be messy, and some have complained about clogged nozzles and difficulties in rubbing the treatments into the scalp before they run off the head.

While Scalp Med offers a 60-day money back satisfaction guarantee, they also state that it takes 60 days or more before you'll begin to see hair loss results. We feel that the guarantee should be longer in order to give people a realistic opportunity to try the product before being forced to decide whether to apply for the refund.

Scalp Med is priced considerably higher than most of its competition, with a two month supply running $159.80 without shipping and handling.

Although the website is very well done, this hair loss product's effectiveness, convenience, and refund policy suffer when compared to our top-rated solutions. In this case, substance wins out over style as we recommend you try one of our higher-rated hair loss selections first.
