What is Hair Loss?
While hair loss can be caused by many different processes such as hormonal imbalance, improper eating and pregnancy, the major root cause of hair loss in men and women is DHT. This natural hormone byproduct in the human body binds to the hair follicle and begins degrading (killing) the hair follicle until it is thin and wispy and no longer able to hold color. An estimated

 Provillus - The #1 Hair Loss Product of 2009
Provillus is a two-pronged approach hair loss treatment for both men and women.
The male formula contains active natural DHT blockers which work to prevent DHT from attacking the hair follicles. As well, this fomula contains Minoxidil, which is an FDA approved hair loss solution which increases the blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles.
The female formula also contains the same powerful blocking ingredients, but is more formulated to specific needs to womens' hair.

 Procerin
Procerin is a hair loss treatment designed for men only. To date, Procerin does not a formula designed for women.
This particular product also rated very well amongst our independent editors, and amongst users. We have rated this product the second best treatment behind Provillus.
The product is similar to Provillus in approach, in that it contains both a herbal supplement which is designed to help flush out DHT internally, and a topical treatment, which you apply directly to the scalp. The two reasons this product did not score as well with users is that it is available only for women at this time, and it does not include Minoxidil in the formula. However, it is a great alternative for those who prefer to not use a solution which utilizes Minoxidil.

 Inhairit
Inhairit is a natural hair loss treatment that we would classify as a DHT blocker. The product is a topical formula, which means you need to apply it directly to the scalp and massage in daily. The ingredients, which include a long list of known DHT blockers, vitamins and minerals also include Saw Palmetto which is well documented to help prevent the binding of DHT to the hair follicle.
Additionally, this product helps to restore hair health via specially added herbs which are known to help increase hair elasticity, promote faster growth, and improve hair shaft texture and shine.

Growing Back Hair
by Newhair75
I have been using Provillus for the 6 months and like what I see. All excessive shedding for me has stopped, and I have tons of new small hairs popping up around the edges of the hairlines. Very encouraging. |
Great Product!
by Jeremy Jones
although it took awhile for this product to start working for me, I am noticing a drastic reduction in the amount of hair loss I see. I haven't grown back a ton of hair yet, but all hair fall for me has stopped. I have been using this Provilus for about 4 months now, so hopefully I start to see new hair growing soon. |
Unsure
by Davie
I use Rogaine 3% Foam and Shen Min, and was taking beta sitosterol as a daily supplement, but am noticing only some minimal results. I am thinking of swtiching and trying out Provillus this month. Has anyone else here tried it? |
Two Thumbs Up!
by anonymous
I am using it and like it. I couldn't stand the greasy products and even the foam Rogaine puts out is frustrating and stick at the best of times. |

Questions

Has anyone here tried Procerin? |
Excellent products
by John
I am a 44 year old guy who has been suffering from hairloss since I was 19. I have tried almost every product on the marketplace, with varying degrees of results.
I can personally vouch for both Inhairit and Provillus. Currently I am using Provillus because although Inhairit worked very well, the natural of my job kept me from being able to use the overnight topical program. I would recommend both of these hair loss products to anyone. |

More About Hair Loss
What is Hair Loss?
Otherwise known as Alopecia,
it is a condition characterized by loss of hair from the head
or body in both men and women, often to the extent of complete
baldness.
What Causes It?
Although stress
and changes in medication can cause hair loss, the main cause
of this condition in over 95% of men and women, often referred
to as pattern baldness, is a hormone byproduct called DHT,
or Di Hydrotestosterone.
What is DHT?
DHT is a hormone byproduct created when testosterone interacts with the naturally occurring enzyme known as 5 alpha reductase. The reaction between the two creates freestanding DHT.
DHT quickly finds and binds to receptor sites in the hair follicle
known as androgen
receptors. Once DHT binds to these receptors, it prevents
nutrients from entering the hair follicle, and begins degrading
the hair follicle - a process known as miniaturization. Over
time, left unchecked, DHT erodes hair follicles until they become
wisps on the scalp - thin 'baby-like' hair, which is the last
final stage before baldness. At this stage, the follicle is
close to death.
It is important to note that DHT is an important byproduct in
the body in the teenage years. It is responsible for regulating
hair
growth in puberty, and other important functions. However,
after about the age 19 for most people, the hormone is not needed
or used by the body.
For more than 95% of the people self-diagnosed or professionally
evaluated as having hair loss, the condition could be prevented
by blocking DHT and its disruptive effects on the hair loss.
Blocking this hormone allows the hair follicles to renew, absorb
more nutrients, and stop the degradation. The hair follicle
then returns to natural form, growing thick and healthy hair
again. The process effects men more than women.
Ok, How Do I Block DHT?
The best way to block DHT is to utilize natural ingredients
that are often found in hair
loss products known as DHT Blockers to penetrate the scalp
and bind with the hair follicles. Topical solutions that contain
known blocking mechanisms are usually applied once per day so
that the effects of the hormone DHT are negated, and shielded
against daily.
What About Minoxidil, Rogaine and Propecia?
While these three popular treatments can have some impact on
hair loss, only Propecia
(Finasteride) is a DHT blocker. It is a synthetic prescription
pill which is ingested daily that interacts with the system
to reduce the amount of DHT in the body. However, lowering DHT
in the body can have negative effects including loss of sex
drive.
Additionally, it is much easier to address DHT naturally - side
effect free - by applying preventative products directly to
the scalp, where they are quickly absorbed into the scalp
- and by utilizing herbal supplements to block DHT internally
which do not interfere with the body's natural processes.
Minoxidil
is a vasodilator, meaning that it is thought to expand the blood
volume in the veins in the scalp, providing more blood flow
to the hair follicles, bringing rich nutrients. However, as
you have seen, the best hair loss treatment needs a 2 pronged
attack - block
DHT from binding with follicles, and increasing the blood
flow, bringing a healthy, persistent dose of rich vitamins,
minerals and nutrients to the scalp which revive hair follicles
and prevent further loss and thinning.
