Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men. The condition typically starts with a receding hairline and thinning hair on the crown of the head. Over time, hair loss can become severe, and the chance of recovery decreases due to the ongoing miniaturisation of hair follicles.

Therefore, start your hair re-growth regime as soon as you notice hair fall, thinning hair, or recession of the frontal hairline. The sooner, the better.

Step 1: Hair oil

While allopathy denies the role of herbs in hair re-growth in male pattern baldness, we have learnt from the experience of hundreds of patients that a good hair re-growth oil applied on hair roots can help. 

In the case of dry hair, the overnight application is best. While in oily hair, you can put oil 2-3 hours before hair wash.

Step 2: Shampoo

Hair regrowth shampoo has a minor role in stopping hair loss because the contact time is few minutes only.

When it comes to hair fall, scalp health is vital. Shampoo removes the build-up and contributes to normal scalp health. Therefore, wash hair as soon as they get oily, dirty or sweaty to avoid build-up.

Step 4: Apply Minoxidil or redensyl Serum

Minoxidil is the only topical medication that can help to regrow hair in androgenetic alopecia. It is available by prescription in India. We recommend reading our complete guide on Minoxidil to understand the correct usage and side effects. 

Alternatively, if your hair loss is minimal, you try a hair regrowth serum containing a combination of Redensyl, Capixyl and Procapil. We could find one study that compares 5% Minoxidil with RCP ( a combination of Redensyl, Capixyl and Procapil). At the end of the 24-week treatment period, hair recovery in the RCP group was 2.54 times higher than in the minoxidil group. However, the result was based on visual examination rather than actual hair count.
