Ingredients
-
If you have less than 50% of hair loss, look for products that contain corticosteroids, dithranol, retin a or tretinoin, topical minoxidil or zinc. If you have more than 50% hair loss of this type, look for products containing systematic cortisone or PUVA.
Natural Cures
-
Natural herbs that help combat hair loss include palmetto, nettle roots and pygeum. Ginko biloba and green tea are also helpful for growing hair.

DHT
-
Look for products that inhibit DHT production. This means that your hair follicles will be unclogged, allowing hair to grow. For example, Provillus is a topical product that has anti-DHT properties. Proceris is another DHT-blocking hair loss product that contains natural herbs.
