What do you do if you start to lose your hair? If you're a woman, the experts believe that it's only a matter of time before your hair stops falling out and, potentially, starts growing back. If you're a man, the body of evidence suggests your best recourse may be a toupee or a hair transplant. On the one hand, studies show that women tend to lose their hair not because of genetic factors, but because of external factors, such as stress. On the other hand, studies show that hair loss in men tends to have a genetic component. Regardless of the sex, however, hair loss can be a traumatic experience for all concerned.

And there are many products available that purport to help men and women reclaim their once fully covered head of hair. Many of these products help to unclog follicles, potentially facilitating the growth of new hair. Chemotherapy treatment is one of the main causes of hair loss among women. But there are now products available that claim to help fight hair loss in such patients. Such products also purport to aid in the growth of new hair. One thing is for certain: there are a lot of products on the market that make a lot of claims. But you'll have to be extra careful not to be duped into buying a product that doesn't live up to its billing.
