Hair regrowth happens in a series of cycles. Each cycle includes the growth phase {anagen}, a transitional phase {catagen}, and a resting phase {telogen}. The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is androgenetic alopecia or AGA. Hormones, heredity and age all contribute to this condition. Basically with AGA present, your hair follicles will shrink and eventually close up completely.
Hair regrowth solutions have as their main ingredient Minoxidil. It invigorates and rejuvenates these near dormant hair follicles, encouraging them to return to the active state from however far they have regressed, as long as there is some chemical response in the follicles to respond to the solution.
With your complete scalp growing at different time lines and a single follicle having a cycle time of over a year, your regiment of Minoxidil would need to be continuous for a three year period to insure that all recoverable follicles are treated when they need it in their cycle. During that long period you can supplement the topical solutions with the new foam products and then after wards maintain your good works using the foam as strictly a maintenance product. It is a large commitment both in length and in cost, but if you catch and treat your AGA problem before any real permanent hair loss has occurred, you’ll be totally satisfied with a full head of your own hair.
