This is a question asked by many people who suffer from hair loss.
It is a very difficult question to answer.
There are so many products on the market how would you know which one to choose as each manufacturer claims that their product is the best.
Many hair products on the market have not been researched so make the claims the manufacturer make invalid.
You could be applying a solution on your head daily for years and still not see any improvement.

There is no truth in these myths.
Hair transplants seem to be quite a good option if not a painful one.
This is effective for men but it seems not such a good option for women.

Women on the other hand lose their hair all over the head leaving no hairs to be used for transplanting.
Minoxidil is the only orally taken drug as far as I know that is approved by the food and drug administration for the re-growth of hair.
Strangely enough it only works for people that tend to lose their hair on the crown of their head.
This drug has to be used continuously to be effective.
It can cause an itchy scalp, which is unpleasant.
