Men have experienced hair loss for as long as we can remember. And even though baldness has become a sort of style for some, others (even the most self confident alpha males) have difficulty comprehending this illness. This is especially true for women. They say that the best compliment a girl can the one about her shoes and hair. Having this in mind, think about how devastating hair loss in women can be.

One interesting discovery was made with Minoxidil treatment. Minoxidil is a pill that was primarily used to treat high blood pressure. But as patients took their medications, doctors began to identify extensive hair growth in most cases. So, hair growth was listed as a side effect for this medicine until some researchers thought of the idea of applying Minoxidil to the scalp directly. However, this showed disappointing results and it turned out that the amount of Minoxil absorbed through the scalp is too small to promote hair growth. Also, it was confirmed that this type of hair loss treatment worked better on women than it did on men.
