What are the treatment options for hair loss?

Hair loss treatments vary by your biological sex and how far the hair loss has progressed. Options include both oral and topical treatments. In simple terms, that means tablets, shampoos, foams and liquid solutions. Some people use an oral and a topical treatment together to help improve results.

  • Oral treatments: usually daily tablets. Some are prescription only and may be suitable for men or women depending on the medicine.
  • Topical treatments: products applied to the scalp such as foams, solutions or certain shampoos.
  • Combined approach: a clinician may suggest using both types together if safe and appropriate.

Not every treatment suits everyone. A healthcare professional should confirm what is safe for you based on your health, your sex and the pattern of your hair loss.

How can I tell if treatments like Finasteride or Minoxidil are right for me?

Finasteride is usually suitable for men aged 18 or over who have male pattern baldness and no existing liver problems. Minoxidil, which comes as a foam or liquid, can be used by both men and women who are experiencing early to moderate hair loss.

Before starting any prescription treatment, it’s important to complete an online clinical consultation. A registered independent prescriber will review your answers to decide if the treatment is safe and suitable for you.

"I'm worried that I might be going bald too soon"

What are the different types of hair loss?

There are several types of hair loss, each with different causes and patterns. The most common include:

Male pattern baldness: This is the most common type of hair loss in men and is largely genetic. It happens when hair follicles become sensitive to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Over time, DHT causes the follicles to shrink, making hair thinner and shorter until it eventually stops growing. Hair loss usually starts at the temples or crown and can gradually spread across the top of the head. This condition is also known as androgenetic alopecia and tends to progress slowly over time.

Female pattern baldness: This type of hair loss affects women and is also known as female androgenetic alopecia. It often becomes noticeable during or after menopause when oestrogen levels fall, changing the balance of hormones in the body. Hair usually becomes thinner around the parting and may spread outwards across the top of the scalp. Like in men, genetics play a major role, but hormonal changes and age can also contribute.

Telogen effluvium: This is a temporary form of hair loss that happens when more hairs than usual enter the resting (telogen) stage of the hair growth cycle. It can be triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, or certain medicines. People with telogen effluvium often notice more hair shedding across the whole scalp rather than in one specific area. Once the cause is identified and managed, hair usually grows back within a few months.

Is hair loss permanent?

Hair loss is a common part of getting older and happens to most people at some stage in life. In some cases, hair loss can be permanent, especially when it is caused by genetic factors like male or female pattern baldness. However, certain types of hair loss can be slowed down, managed, or even reversed with the right treatment. Regular use of clinically proven topical or oral hair loss treatments can help to support regrowth and maintain healthy hair for longer.

Can hair loss be prevented?

Not every type of hair loss can be stopped, but there are practical steps you can take to reduce the risk and keep your hair healthy for longer. The key is to protect your scalp, avoid unnecessary damage and support your hair’s natural growth cycle.

Use Gentle Hair Care Products

Many shampoos and conditioners contain harsh ingredients such as sulphates and parabens. These can strip away the scalp’s natural oils, causing dryness, irritation and long-term damage that makes hair more fragile. To keep your scalp balanced and healthy, look for products labelled as gentle, mild or fragrance-free. Natural or sulphate-free formulas can help protect both the scalp and hair shafts.

Avoid Tight Hairstyles

Wearing tight hairstyles such as slicked-back buns, braids or ponytails can pull on the hair and strain the follicles. Over time, this tension can weaken the roots and reduce blood flow to the scalp, which means fewer nutrients and less oxygen reach the hair. To protect your hair, choose softer styles like loose braids, low ponytails or relaxed buns that don’t tug on the scalp.

Limit Heat Styling

Frequent use of heat styling tools such as straighteners, curling tongs and hairdryers can weaken the hair shaft. High temperatures can remove moisture, leaving hair brittle and prone to breakage. To minimise damage, try to reduce how often you use heat tools. When you do, keep the setting on a low temperature and apply a heat-protectant spray or serum beforehand to create a barrier against damage.

While some causes of hair loss are genetic or medical, adopting healthy hair care habits can make a noticeable difference. Protecting your scalp, using gentle products and reducing heat exposure all help to maintain stronger, healthier hair over time.

Can hair loss be reversed?

In some cases, hair loss can be reversed or slowed down, depending on the cause. Certain treatments can help encourage regrowth and reduce further loss. These include prescription hair loss tablets like Finasteride (for men only), as well as topical options such as Regaine Extra Strength Foam, Regaine for Women Extra Strength, Regaine Extra Strength Solution and Regaine for Women Solution. These treatments are often used to manage male and female pattern baldness.

If you’re concerned about thinning hair or bald patches, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional. They can help identify the cause of your hair loss and recommend the most suitable treatment options for you.

Understanding age-related hair loss in men

Noticing more hair on your pillow or in the shower can be worrying, especially if you're still in your twenties or thirties. But how do you know if it’s just normal shedding or the start of premature balding? Our guide explains the early signs to look out for, what causes hair loss in younger people, and when it might be time to act. Find out how to tell if you're going bald prematurely.

A lot of the time, hair loss in men is caused by male pattern baldness. Male pattern hair loss condition is a type of hereditary hair loss and very common, estimated to affect 6.5 million men in the UK alone (NHS, 2023). It gets its name because male pattern hair loss in men tends to follow a similar pattern, losing hair primarily from the top and front of the scalp (Asfour et al, 2023).

Video: How does hair loss happen?

Regaine have created a helpful video to explain answer the question: How does hair loss happen? You can watch it below:

Male pattern baldness

Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men. It affects up to 80% of men at some stage in their lives, often starting between the ages of 20 and 25. The hair usually thins in a recognisable pattern, and both your genes and hormones play an important role in how and when it happens.

When people talk about hair loss, they often mean losing more hair than usual. Everyone sheds between 50 and 100 hairs a day naturally, but in male pattern baldness, hair is lost faster than it can grow back. Over time, this leads to thinning, bald patches or a receding hairline.

What causes male pattern baldness?

Male pattern baldness is mainly inherited. It happens when hair follicles become sensitive to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is made from testosterone. Over time, DHT causes the follicles to shrink, so new hairs grow back finer, shorter and eventually may stop growing altogether. The main factors that can influence this type of hair loss include:

  • Genetics: A family history of hair loss can increase your chances of developing male pattern baldness.
  • Age: Hair follicles become more sensitive to DHT as you get older.
  • DHT sensitivity: The more sensitive your follicles are to DHT, the quicker they may shrink.
  • Hormonal changes: Shifts in hormone levels can speed up hair thinning in men who are already prone to it.

Is hair loss genetic?

Yes, some types of hair loss can be inherited. The most common form of hereditary hair loss is known as pattern baldness, which affects both men and women. In men, this is often linked to a gene called the androgen receptor gene. In women, it may involve genes that help the body change testosterone into another hormone called estradiol. However, not every case of hair loss is caused by genetics. Stress, hormone changes, certain medications, or underlying health conditions can also lead to hair thinning or shedding.

How to measure male pattern baldness

Hair loss from male pattern baldness usually follows a predictable pattern, though the rate can differ from person to person. Knowing which stage of hair loss you’re in can help you understand what treatment might work best.

The Hamilton-Norwood Scale

The Hamilton-Norwood Scale is used to identify how advanced hair loss is. It shows early, moderate and advanced stages of baldness, helping men and clinicians assess progression. You can use it to compare your own stage of hair loss.

How to treat male pattern baldness

Male pattern baldness is harmless but can affect confidence and self-esteem. Research shows that hair loss can impact how men feel about themselves and their quality of life (Alfonso et al, 2005; Aukerman & Jafferany, 2022). Because of this, many men choose to treat their hair loss rather than let it progress naturally.

While there is no permanent cure, several treatments can help slow down or even reverse the process for some men. Starting treatment early often leads to better results, but outcomes can vary.

  • Prescription tablet: Finasteride (also available as Propecia) can slow, stop or sometimes reverse hair loss caused by male pattern baldness. It is not usually available on the NHS for this purpose. All requests for prescription treatments through UK Meds are subject to an online clinical consultation, and a registered prescriber will decide if it is suitable.
  • Topical treatment: Regaine for Men (minoxidil) is applied directly to the scalp to help stimulate hair growth and reduce shedding.
  • Supportive products: Using Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo or Nourkrin Conditioner may help to keep the scalp and hair in good condition as part of your routine.

When to speak to a doctor about hair loss

Hair loss is usually nothing to worry about, but you should speak to a healthcare professional if:

  • Your hair loss happens suddenly, or you notice bald patches, especially on the eyebrows or eyelashes.
  • Your scalp is sore, red, swollen or scaly, or if you develop spots or irritation.
  • Your hair loss started after taking new medication or following illness.
  • You are considering prescription treatment such as finasteride, as it is only suitable for adult men.

Always read the patient information leaflet before starting any medication and speak to a prescriber if you notice side effects such as mood changes, reduced libido or breast tenderness.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that happens when your immune system attacks your hair follicles by mistake. This can cause hair to fall out in small, round patches, often leaving smooth bald spots on the scalp. While genetics are one of the most common causes of hair loss, alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where both immune and genetic factors can play a role (NIAMS, 2024).

What is Traction Alopecia?

Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by repeated tension or pulling on the hair. This often happens when hair is styled tightly in ponytails, braids, buns or dreadlocks. It can also develop from regularly wearing tight headwear or hair extensions. Over time, the constant strain damages the hair follicles, leading to thinning or bald patches (Alopecia UK, 2024).

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

Hair loss in men often happens because their hair follicles are overly sensitive to a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a type of male sex hormone, or androgen, that plays an important role in hair growth and development. However, when there is too much DHT in the scalp, it can interfere with normal hair growth and lead to thinning or baldness.

Men who experience male pattern baldness are often more sensitive to DHT because their hair follicles have a higher number of hormone receptors. This increased sensitivity weakens the follicles over time, causing them to shrink and eventually stop producing new hair (NowPatient, 2025).

Vitamin Deficiencies

Yes. A lack of certain vitamins and minerals can contribute to hair thinning and hair loss. These nutrients play key roles in keeping your hair follicles healthy and encouraging new growth. Below are some of the most common vitamin deficiencies linked to hair loss and how to support healthy hair through your diet and supplements.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is important for making red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles. When your body doesn’t get enough vitamin B12, your follicles can become deprived of oxygen. This can cause them to shrink and slow down hair growth. Eating foods rich in vitamin B12, such as oily fish, eggs and poultry, or taking a supplement if needed, can help keep your follicles nourished and support healthy hair.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps control the activity of cells called keratinocytes. These cells make keratin, a key protein that strengthens your hair. Low vitamin D levels can make hair weaker and more likely to break or thin. Getting more sunlight and taking vitamin D supplements if recommended can help maintain healthy keratin production and support stronger hair growth.

Zinc

Zinc plays a role in DNA production, which is needed for your hair follicles to divide and grow. If you don’t get enough zinc, this process slows down and can lead to reduced hair growth. Eating zinc-rich foods such as nuts, shellfish and red meat, or taking zinc supplements if advised, can help your hair follicles stay healthy and active.

Iron

Iron deficiency has been linked to hair loss, although findings from research studies is inconclusive (Elston, D.; 2010; Trost et al, 2006; Park et al, 2013). The idea is that when your body doesn’t have enough iron, your hair follicles may not get the nutrients they need to grow healthy new cells. Over time, this can make your hair thinner or cause it to fall out more easily. If you think you might be low in iron, it’s important to speak to a healthcare professional, who can check your iron levels and advise on suitable treatment or supplements if needed.

Other Hair Loss Factors

Sometimes, hair loss can happen because of other health conditions or as a side effect of certain prescription medicines. According to Harvard Health (2022), some illnesses and nutritional deficiencies, such as low levels of protein, iron or zinc, can lead to excessive shedding. Similarly, some medicines can cause hair thinning as a side effect.

While there is currently no permanent cure for male pattern baldness (Alhanshali et al, 2023), there are effective treatments that can help slow down hair loss and, in some cases, encourage new hair growth. These treatments work by targeting the hormones and scalp health factors that affect hair thinning, helping to preserve and strengthen existing hair.

Finasteride

Finasteride, also known by the brand name Propecia, is one of the most widely used treatments for male pattern baldness. It works by lowering levels of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can shrink hair follicles and cause them to stop producing new hair (NHS, 2023). When taken daily, Finasteride helps to protect hair follicles, slow further hair loss and, in some men, encourage regrowth. Clinical research shows that it can reduce hair loss in up to 86% of men who use it consistently (WebMD, 2025).

Minoxidil

Minoxidil is another proven treatment, often used by people who notice thinning hair. It is available in topical and oral forms and works by improving blood flow to the scalp and helping to enlarge hair follicles (Messenger & Rundegren, 2004). This encourages hair to stay in its natural growth phase for longer, leading to thicker and healthier strands.

Both Finasteride and Minoxidil are supported by clinical evidence and are widely used by men with male pattern baldness or other forms of hair loss. You can request these treatments safely and conveniently through services such as UK Meds. All requests for prescription medicines are reviewed through an online clinical consultation, and supply will only be made if approved by a registered independent prescriber.

Hair Loss FAQs

If you’re unsure which hair loss treatment is right for you, or you’d like to learn more about hair loss, you’re in the right place. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions people ask about hair loss and the treatment options available.

What is the best hair loss treatment for men?

There are several effective treatments available to help men manage and treat hair loss, which one is 'best' really comes down to personal experience and which treatment your healthcare provider thinks is the most appropriate. The most commonly used options include:

  • Finasteride: a prescription-only treatment for men that can be up to 90% effective in reducing and reversing male pattern baldness after at least 12 months of consistent use. Finasteride works by blocking the action of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles, so lowering its levels helps to slow hair loss and promote new growth.
    All requests for supply of prescription medication at UK Meds are subject to an online clinical consultation, and the decision to prescribe will be made by a registered independent prescriber.

What is the best hair loss treatment for men over the counter?

  • Regaine Extra Strength Foam: a topical treatment containing the active ingredient minoxidil. This foam increases blood flow to the scalp, which helps to stimulate hair follicles and extend the natural growing (anagen) phase of the hair cycle. The foam formula makes it easy to apply and can be worked evenly across the scalp.
  • Regaine Extra Strength Solution: another topical treatment that also contains minoxidil, but in a liquid form. It supports hair growth by improving circulation to the scalp and helping hair follicles to stay active for longer. While both Regaine Foam and Solution work in a similar way, the foam provides more control during application, whereas the liquid absorbs more quickly for those who prefer a faster-drying option.

What is the best hair loss treatment for women?

When it comes to treating hair loss in women, the most effective and clinically proven options are treatments that contain minoxidil. This active ingredient helps stimulate hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp and supporting healthier, thicker hair follicles.

Regaine for Women Extra Strength Foam: a topical foam treatment containing minoxidil. It works by increasing circulation to the scalp, helping to enlarge hair follicles and promote new hair growth. Regular use can also help slow down or prevent further hair loss.

Regaine for Women Solution: a liquid formula that also contains minoxidil. It boosts scalp blood flow, stimulates dormant hair follicles and thickens existing hair strands, helping to encourage regrowth and reduce shedding over time.

Both Regaine for Women treatments are available from online providers such as UK Meds.

Which shampoos can help with hair loss?

Some shampoos are specially made to support hair health and encourage new growth. They often contain ingredients that nourish the scalp, boost blood flow and help to keep hair follicles strong. Popular options include:

  • Alpecin C1 Caffeine Shampoo: a caffeine-based shampoo that absorbs into the scalp to improve blood circulation. It helps to energise hair follicles and promote natural hair growth. Alpecin also offers a caffeine liquid for daily use.
  • Alpecin Double Effect Caffeine Shampoo: combines caffeine to stimulate hair follicles with salicylic acid and piroctone olamine to clear dandruff. This helps create a healthier scalp environment for thicker, stronger hair to grow.
  • Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo: contains ketoconazole, an antifungal ingredient that targets dandruff-causing fungi. It helps to calm irritation, reduce inflammation and support a clean, healthy scalp that’s better for hair growth.
  • Nourkrin Shampoo for Hair Growth: enriched with vitamins, minerals and active nutrients that nourish the scalp and improve blood flow to the hair roots. This helps reduce hair thinning and supports healthy, natural hair growth.

While shampoos can help improve scalp health and strengthen hair, they may not stop hair loss completely. 

What does male pattern baldness look like?

Doctors use the Hamilton–Norwood Scale to grade hair loss. It has three clear stages that match what most men see in the mirror.

Early stage (Norwood stages 1 to 2)

  • Mild receding hairline at the temples, forming an M shape
  • Light thinning at the crown that is easy to miss at first
  • Hairs in these areas become finer and shorter

Moderate stage (Norwood stages 3 to 4)

  • Deeper receding hairline with a more obvious M pattern
  • Visible thinning at the crown, often a small bald spot
  • Wider part line, most noticeable towards the crown
  • Receding front and thinning crown start to move closer together

Advanced stage (Norwood stages 5 to 7)

  • Large areas of hair loss with only a thin band of hair at the sides
  • Bald crown and frontal areas join into one larger bald area
  • Remaining hair looks finer and less dense
  • Hairline can recede to the middle or back of the scalp

If your hair loss is sudden, patchy, or itchy, speak to a healthcare professional to check for other causes.

How long does it take for hair loss medication to work?

When starting treatment for hair loss, patience is key. Most people need to use hair loss medication consistently for at least six months before noticing any improvement. This allows enough time for new hair growth to begin and for the treatment to take effect.

Full results usually appear after 12 to 18 months of regular use. It’s also quite common to notice some extra hair shedding during the first few weeks. Although this can feel worrying, it’s often a positive sign that the medication is working and that older hairs are making way for new growth.

Remember, every person’s response to treatment is different. The most important thing is to use your medication exactly as advised and to stay consistent with your routine.

Should I try hair loss treatment before considering hair transplant surgery?

Starting with medication before considering a hair transplant is often the best first step. Medicines can help to slow down or even stop further hair loss, and in some cases, they can help new hair to grow. This means that some people may not need surgery at all.

Using medication is usually less invasive, more affordable, and easier to manage than having a surgical procedure. It can also help improve the success of a future hair transplant, as it strengthens and stabilises existing hair before surgery.

Experts generally recommend following a consistent medication plan for at least 12 to 18 months to see how well it works. Addressing the underlying cause of hair loss first is important because having a transplant without treating the root problem could lead to continued thinning or shedding around the transplanted area.

What is the Hair Growth Cycle?

The hair growth cycle is the natural process your hair goes through as it grows, rests, and eventually sheds. There are four key stages in this cycle that repeat over time (Natarelli et al, 2023).

Each hair on your head moves through these four phases at its own pace, which is why you don’t lose all your hair at once. The four stages are:

  1. Anagen – the growth phase where new hair is formed and lengthens over time.
  2. Catagen – the transition phase when growth slows and the hair follicle begins to shrink.
  3. Telogen – the resting phase when the hair stops growing but remains in place.
  4. Exogen – the shedding phase where the old hair naturally falls out to make room for new growth.

Understanding how the hair growth cycle works can help you recognise what’s normal hair shedding and what might be a sign of hair loss or thinning.

Can anything affect the hair growth cycle?

Yes. The natural cycle of hair growth, shedding and regrowth can be affected by several factors. These include certain medicines, underlying health conditions, family history, stress and changes in hormones. When this cycle is disrupted, it can sometimes lead to a type of temporary hair loss known as telogen effluvium (Hughes & Saleh, 2023). This condition causes more hairs than usual to enter the shedding phase at the same time, which can make hair look thinner across the scalp.

Video: Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

Regain has created a helpful video that clearly explains each stage of the hair growth cycle. Watch the video below to learn how your hair naturally grows, rests, and renews over time:

What can I do for severe hair loss if treatments don’t work for me?

If medications or other treatments haven’t helped with severe hair loss, a modern hair system could be a strong alternative. These advanced systems, often known as wigs or hairpieces, are designed to look and feel natural. They use breathable materials and medical-grade adhesives to create a realistic hairline that blends seamlessly with your own scalp.

Hair systems can be tailored to suit your exact needs, including your natural hair colour, texture and preferred hairstyle. You can choose from partial coverage for thinning areas or full systems for complete hair loss. Many specialist hair clinics and experienced hairdressers offer fitting, styling and ongoing maintenance to ensure a comfortable and long-lasting result.

Unlike surgical options, hair systems deliver instant results without recovery time. They’re often a good choice for people with advanced hair loss who may not be suitable for a transplant or who haven’t seen success with medication-based treatments.

Is it actually possible to regrow hair?

In some cases, it is possible to regrow hair, but it depends on whether your hair follicles are still active. If a follicle has closed, disappeared or become scarred, new hair cannot grow from it. However, if the follicle remains intact, there is a good chance that hair can regrow or that the existing hair can become thicker and healthier. (GQ, 2018).

How much hair loss is normal in a day?

It’s completely normal to find a few hairs on your pillow, in your hairbrush or when you wash your hair. On average, most people lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. This gentle shedding helps make space for new hairs to grow. If you notice more hair than usual coming out, it could be an early sign of thinning or a possible underlying condition. Learn more about what’s considered normal daily hair loss.

Does creatine cause hair loss?

Creatine is one of the most widely used supplements for improving energy, strength and muscle growth. Some people worry that taking creatine could lead to hair loss, but this concern is mostly based on limited research rather than proven evidence.

The idea comes from a small study that suggested creatine might increase levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to male pattern baldness. However, no studies have shown that creatine directly causes hair to thin or fall out. Most experts agree that creatine is safe for most people when used as directed.

If you’re concerned about hair health while using supplements, it’s always best to speak with a healthcare professional for advice that’s right for you. You can also read more about creatine and hair loss here.
