A member asked:

How i can thick my hair? i have a little hair fall which shampoo do you advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair thinning: hello ~ shampoos only make the hair you have a little plumper and it looks fuller. NO SHAMPOO will increase hair growth. ONLY PRESCRIPTION ROGAINE (minoxidil) is a medicated liquid you put on scalp and this will increase hair growth to SOME of the people SOME of the time. By no means a panacea but that is all there is.I do not recommend anti-male Propecia due to s/effects thanks
