"DHT Blocking is an attempt to stop hair loss at the source. Most male-pattern baldness comes down to how your body interacts with DHT, a hormone that does a lot in male development, later in life. Certain ingredients-saw palmetto, rosemary oil, ketoconazole-show efficacy in blocking DHT, but the real DHT blocker is a medication called finasteride, which used to be known by the brand name Propecia."
"Hair Growth is just what it sounds like. The prescription route is minoxidil, which you probably know as Rogaine. In the world of over-the-counter fixes, ingredients like caffeine, rosemary oil, and tea tree oil are shown to stimulate growth. But again, see a dermatologist for the real shit. Volumizing is where shampoos really shine. Proteins added to these shampoos work into your follicles and scalp, and they help your hairs to stand up straighter and appear fuller."
Three distinct approaches address male hair concerns: DHT blocking to halt loss, hair growth stimulation, and volumizing to create thicker appearance. DHT-blocking options include ingredients such as saw palmetto, rosemary oil, and ketoconazole, while finasteride is the primary prescription DHT blocker. Hair growth options include prescription minoxidil and over-the-counter stimulants like caffeine, rosemary oil, and tea tree oil. Volumizing shampoos add proteins that work into follicles and scalp to lift hairs, improve strand standing, and support overall scalp health. Professional dermatologic consultation is recommended for significant balding or to obtain prescription treatments.
