You've most likely heard the term Male-pattern-baldness?

Many doctors believe that excess DHT (dihydrotestostrone), is an apparent cause of hair loss although all the causes of hair loss aren't well defined. However, researchers have uncovered that men with male pattern hair loss have increased levels of DHT in the balding area of their scalps.

I personally spent, or should that be wasted, years of my life looking for and obsessing over products to stop hair loss. There is an absolute plethora of bottles, pills, creams, and miracle cures out there which all boast the best and most proven methods to stop hair loss in men. Although some products may work for some people, most of it is bunkum and will only add to your stress as you aimlessly jump from one failed cure to another.

Now don’t let this article be getting you down now, as there’s absolutely nothing wrong with trying a few options and products out there. All we’re trying to say here is don’t let this thing become an obsession, a life’s mission that takes you over. It just ain’t worth it! If you try something and it works, then good on ya, but make a point to stop trying after giving so many things a go and focus on the rest of your life. If you don’t develop acceptance, then you’ll never have any piece of mind, and that means you’ll not only begin to dislike yourself, but you may also drive those away who are closest to you.

Listed below are a few of the most proven brands around at the time of writing, but as I said previously, everyone is different and what works for one does not mean it'll work for another. Propecia, Rogaine (Monoxadil), Avacor and Proxiphen are just a few of the top prescription and nonprescription hair loss products on the market today, and they’ve all had varying degrees of success with some folks in re-growing their hair. Another product, Provillus, blocks DHT (dihydrotestostrone) from getting to your body, which is the number 1 cause of hair loss.
