Anyone knows any herbal/natural medicine that helps regrow hair permanently without the need to keep using it?

I don't want anything that you have to use to keep the hair, and if you don't use it you lose it again, not that. I'm interested in a product that I will only need to use for a short period of time and see permanent result even when I'm not using it anymore. I know there is got to be something out there like that. Please respond. Thanks.Anyone knows any herbal/natural medicine that helps regrow hair permanently without the need to keep using it?
There is no such herbal/alternative treatment that regrows hair permanently without the need to keep using it. You need to understand why male pattern hair loss occurs. It is caused by DHT, which is a potent hormone that physically transforms boys into men. The problem is that DHT also causes hair loss and enlarged prostates in men when they get older. Blocking the DHT hormone is the only way to stop hair loss and regrow lost hair unless you get hair plugs. In short, you're out of luck because DHT is continuously produced by the body so you need to continuously block it. The only way to make your body stop producing DHT, once and for all, is to change your genes through gene therapy but that treatment hasn't been developed yet.





Be very skeptical of home remedies, herbal supplements, and alternative holistic medical treatments because they are usually silly, foolish, and have NOT been proven to work in human clinical studies. There's a lot of information out there regarding hair loss but most is based on junk or pseudo-science.





However, there are medical treatments out there that have been clinically proven to regrow hair. I would recommend a daily regimen of finasteride, 5% minoxidil, and 2% ketoconazole shampoo but you should see a dermatologist first (approx. $75 for an office visit if you don't have insurance). You can find credible and reliable information about treatments that work at the links below. If information you read is not listed on PubMed then don't trust it because it is more than likely nothing more than junk science.
