Hair Loss in Men: What Actually Works
Three protocols with strong evidence. One that doesn't. Here's how to think about it.
Finasteride (oral or topical)
Blocks DHT — the hormone primarily responsible for male pattern hair loss. Slows shedding, often regrows what's been recently lost.
Minoxidil (oral or topical)
Improves blood flow to follicles and extends the growth phase. Works on the crown especially well.
Combination protocols
Brogaine (compounded minoxidil + finasteride topical) + OMG Caps (oral minoxidil) is the strongest non-surgical stack.
What doesn't work
Shampoos, vitamin pills, laser caps — limited evidence. Don't waste money.
Realistic timeline
Visible regrowth typically month 4–6. Photos before mirror. 92% of patients see improvement by month 6.
