Best Product for Male Hair Loss

Just Google “best product for male hair loss” and you will get in upwards of 113,000,000 results. There are so many products on the market for hair loss. It could be hundreds, if not thousands. Some hair loss products promise to regrow hair in 2-3 months. Hair loss products are available over the counter or by prescription. Some of the hair loss products have been around for a long time, while others are new to the scene. Even as a 35-year Master Men’s Hairstylist, the search is overwhelming. I can only imagine what searching for hair loss products could be like for men.

The search results for the “best product for male hair loss” turned up a favorite search topic of clickable links. Healthline returned “17 Best Hair Loss Treatments for Men in 2023“. This is a great place to start, but a better place to start this conversation is with your hairstylist. Educated men’s hairstylists are trained in the best products for male hair loss whether by prescription or non-prescription. We understand the difference between hair shedding prevention and hair loss restoration. Men’s hairstylists also understand these two concepts really do go hand in hand. Hair shedding prevention systems help hair loss restoration tools perform better and garner optimum results.     

Male Hair Loss | A Growing Challenge

It is really important to discuss hair shedding, which is hair that naturally falls out as it has moved through its normal growth cycle. Hair grows in three stages. The first stage of the cycle is the anagen phase, which is the growth phase. The catagen phase is the next stage, during which the hair enters its transitional phase. The last stage is the telogen phase. This phase is called the resting phase. Each hair strand goes through this hair growth cycle. Thankfully, each hair strand is in its own independent cycle at different times, preventing hair from shedding all at once 🙀😅.

  The American Academy of Dermatology reports the average person sheds between 50 to 100 hairs per day. Normal shedding occurs throughout the day, but it is most prevalent during washing and brushing the hair. Hair loss is when a person loses more than 100 hairs per day, the loss is in a localized area, and the hair stops growing in a specific area.

Hair loss among young men is on the rise. A study conducted at Tsinghua University in Beijing found that 60% of students experienced hair loss to some degree. In fact, the China Association of Health Promotion and Education discovered that men in their 30s were losing hair faster than any other age group. Factors beyond genetics contribute to male hair loss. Stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and smoking increase a man’s chance of experiencing hair loss.

Hair Loss Products | A Billion Dollar Industry

Again, Google “Men’s Hair Loss Products” and 123,000,000 search results populate. In October 2019, the estimated revenue from these types of products was $4 billion. This figure also includes hair restoration products. The hair loss treatment and restoration manufacturing segment is estimated to grow by another 1,1% in 2023 alone. Men should proceed with caution when purchasing products that promise to regrow hair, especially in light of major news outlets constructing headlines such as:

Men are a multibillion dollar growth opportunity for the beauty industry — CNBC 2019 

Men were expected to spend $166 billion on beauty products in 2022. This number is expected to rise even more. The best grooming tip I can give men is to do their research before spending money on the next “it” hair-loss treatment.

Hair Growth Products versus Hair Loss Prevention Products

Nioxin | Hair Loss Prevention System

I do believe Nioxin helps reduce hair loss per day, making it a hair-shedding prevention tool. Think of it like this. The more hair is left on the scalp at any given time, the less hair loss occurs. 

I use it and saw a difference in how little hair was left in my brush every day. It took about 4 months before I noticed it because it took that long to clean all the debris on my scalp and strengthen my hair. FOR MEN Salon | Spa has carried this product since opening in 2004 and has continued to see a strong demand even in this economy. Why is the demand so strong for Nioxin? Because men are concerned about hair loss and feel very comfortable speaking with their stylists about such a sensitive issue. Men’s hairstylists can educate clients about hair loss, its causes, and how to slow or stop it. 

Why Nioxin is the Best Product for Male Hair Loss

Nioxin Cleanser is designed to thoroughly clean the scalp skin of product build-up, sebum, and DHT. The conditioner (aka Scalp Therapy) brings blood flow to the hair follicle, creating a healthy base for hair to grow. Nioxin Scalp Treatment protects the scalp and hair from future build-up, curbing DHT, and keeps each hair in the longest growth stage possible. The entire Nioxin system, used daily and as directed, will keep more hair on the scalp longer and help prevent hair loss. Nioxin products are designed to prevent hair loss. Although they do have products containing Minoxidil, which has been proven to regrow hair. 

Nioxin products are for everyone, not just the person losing hair. This is a great prevention tool for anyone concerned with hair loss. Anyone can experience hair loss at any age. I often tell people that, since we all wash and condition our hair, why not use products that offer way more benefits than just cleaning the hair? If you are concerned about hair loss, speak to your stylist and ask how you can confront it head-on with Nioxin products.
