Hair loss is a serious thing – for most people. Many people treat their hair as an essential part of their lives, especially women. Many people resort to home remedies and over the counter hair loss cures to prevent or slow down hair loss. These hair loss cures and remedies range from the bizarre (magnetic combs and brushes) to the scientific drugs (Rogaine and other medications).

Which Hair Loss Cures Are Fake?

There are so many hair loss cures on the market today that people suffering from hair loss will have a hard time choosing which ones work and which ones are fakes. It is actually very easy to spot a cure that may not be viable.

• Some cures that come in suspicious packaging and do not bear the seal of the Food and Drug Administration should be treated as fake. Even if these hair loss cures do work, the mere fact that the FDA has not approved it for mainstream use would mean that it has not been tested to the ultimate satisfaction of the FDA. The FDA is the entity that screens products that may have potentially dangerous side effects.
• Hair loss cures that sold on pure hype (lot of noise will be created in their sales pages) should also be avoided unless you come across a real-life case of its benefits. You should be aware that hair loss cures need to be properly tested and approved. Those products that are hyped to be real and effective need to be accompanied by test results from reliable people.

Do not be convinced just because it works. Some hair loss cures may work but these may also have serious side effects. Some companies intentionally avoid sending their products to the FDA for approval because they know that it will not pass the rigid tests and studies that are needed to convince the FDA of the product’s legitimacy and safety.

Hair Loss Cures That Work

There are some hair loss cures that seem to work.

• Rogaine is a hair loss treatment that does work for some people as long as you use it. You will need to apply this on your head twice a day for as long as you wish to regrow hair.
• Another breakthrough hair growth product is Propecia. It has already shown favorable results since it has been released to the general public and may just be what people suffering from hair loss need. It is similar to Rogaine in the aspect that you need to continuously use it to enjoy its results.
