Question 3: What is your hair loss severity?

Early to Moderate (Women)
Just starting to notice thinning, visible scalp in certain lighting
→ For Women products are designed for all stages

Early to Moderate (Men)

→ General Use (1% minoxidil or herbal options)

Advanced Hair Loss (Men)
Significant balding, large bald areas, rapid progression
→ General Use (5% minoxidil high-strength formulations)

Important Guidelines:

Gender matters: Women should use products specifically formulated for women due to hormonal differences and appropriate minoxidil concentrations
Consistency is key: Hair regrowth products require minimum 4-6 months of consistent daily use to see results
Long-term commitment: Results are maintained only with continued use - stopping treatment will result in hair loss resuming
Application location: Most products are for scalp use only; specialized products are available for facial hair (eyebrows, beard)
Strength selection: Start with lower concentrations and increase if needed; higher strength is not always better
Multiple options: General use category includes both modern pharmaceutical (minoxidil) and traditional herbal medicine options
Consult professionals: For sudden or severe hair loss, consult a doctor before starting treatment
Realistic expectations: These products help maintain and regrow hair but won't restore full density in severely balded areas

For Facial hair growth (eyebrows, beard): Select specialized products in the "General Use" category designed for facial application.

For Spot baldness (alopecia areata): Consider herbal-based products in the "General Use" category, such as those containing traditional ingredients like Astragalus.

Long-term commitment required: All hair regrowth products require consistent daily application for minimum 4-6 months to see results, and continued use to maintain results. Stopping treatment will result in gradual return of hair loss.
