Promoting Regrowth With Minoxidil

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved over-the-counter medication minoxidil is found in some hair loss treatments. Minoxidil treatments are applied directly to the scalp in order to slow the progression of hair loss and encourage regrowth. These products come in liquids and foam forms and are available in strengths for men and women. Typically, once you begin using minoxidil, you must continue to apply the product daily to maintain results.

Natural Regrowth Solutions

If you prefer to take a natural approach to addressing hair loss, you can find a number of hair regrowth treatments without minoxidil at Walgreens. Many of these products contain herbs that have long been used to address thinning and hair loss. Formulas may also contain nutrients that support healthy growth like biotin. It's important to keep in mind that research into alternative interventions for hair loss and thinning is ongoing. At this time, there is not enough evidence to prove that any natural treatment is effective.
