Hair loss: Hair growth after hair loss depends on the cause of the hair loss. If there is scaring hair loss, the hair will never grow back. If there is no scaring and the hair follicles are still there, rogaine (minoxidil) for men is effective. You need a scalp biopsy with a 4 mm punch to determine the type of have loss you have and that will direct the treatment.

Depends on reason: Many african women damage their hair with chemicals (temporary breakage can reverse when chemicals stopped) also, certain medical conditions need treatment and hair will re-grow, genetic pattern loss needs growth stimulators like lasers or minoxidil, or transplant procedures. Damaged follicles from years of tight braids may also require transplant to fill in bare or thinning areas.
