Which is better for alopecia --vitamins, essential oils or minoxidyl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minoxidil.: This one's a no-brainer. Oils make hair loss worse, and vitamins are of no help (except for biotin and, possibly, iron). Minoxidil is the only topical treatment thus far that has been clinically shown to grow hair - or at least keep you from losing any more.
