Now if you go to any health shop near you, you will realize there are so many kinds of hair loss products that claim to help hair grow. For anyone who is suffering from hair loss and desperate for a solution, I’m sure one will buy almost all the products that claim to help one solve his/her hair loss problems. But are these off the shelves hair loss products really as effective as it claim? Let us find out here.

Some of these hair loss products does works, and can be very effective for some. But let me tell you an insider secret, most of these products are fake. Yes! In fact, these products do not contain any secret formula that helps restore your hair, but they work because of placebo effect. What is placebo effect? Well it means that the product, although does not contains any ingredient for hair growth, it is advertised to the customers that it works. Hence, psychologically the customers really thought it can work and hence able to turn thoughts into reality. Impressive? Indeed it is amazing how our mindset can do wonders.

And the more impressive the packaging, advertisement, programs, and sales pitch of the sales person, the greater the placebo effect. Placebo effect can be extremely effective in health products such as hair loss products. A person may not see any signs of improvements, but one can just feel better by buying and using a popular and acclaimed product. Well of course, one will just be wasting money on such products just to feel a bit better.

Right now, to protect the consumers’ rights, the Food and Drug Administration has stepped in to control the sales of health products. It is reported that manufacturers have to provide proof of products’ safety and effectiveness before it can be sold as a hair-growth restorer. Hence at the moment, the only approved product that is truly effective for hair loss treatment is minoxidil lotion. It has been shown to improve male pattern baldness in large-scale medical trials. However it is a medical product, and can only be obtained with a doctor’s prescription.

So, the rest of the hair loss products you see now in the market are, in fact, just gimmicks. Unless you have too much money to spend, do not bother to waste your dollars on them.
