HEREDITARY HAIR LOSS      ABOUT REGAINE ^®

Hair loss is a completely natural process. It's normal to lose 50 - 100 strands a day. These strands fall out because a new hair is growing in the follicle underneath them and effectively pushes out the old hair.

However, for a huge number of people around the world, this process changes and they start to lose more hair. There can be many reasons for this, such as surgery, severe stress or anxiety, certain health conditions or medication and poor hair care.

But by far the most common cause is hereditary hair loss, also known as common baldness and male pattern baldness.

With hereditary hair loss the hair follicles are miniaturised by genes and hormones. As a result, the new hair becomes so short and thin it's often invisible to the naked eye.
Eventually, the hair follicle shuts down completely.
