Aminexil for thinning hair

     If you have the same misfortune of being born with the bald/thin hair gene like me, this one’s for you.

     To begin with, my hair has always been thin and limp.  It didn't help that I also put it through a lot of abuse over the years--blame it on the aquanet and all that teasing which were the rave at that time (oh you know you can relate! I’m not the only teenager from the early 90s here...). Or it could just as well have been my obsession with hair coloring, highlighting, and low lighting in my late teens til mid twenties.  Then I got pregnant at 30 and it was downhill for my hair since then.

     It is for this reason that I am always looking for a remedy to improve the health and quality of my hair.  Right now, I'm on Aminexil which was recommended by my hair stylist.

     Hair follicles can shrink or get blocked due to hormonal imbalance, stress, pregnancy, medical treatment and seasonal influences.  When this happens, the hair gets "choked" resulting in a thinner strand or worse, no growth at all.  Aminexil is a topical scalp solution that addresses the hardening and shrinking of hair follicles.  By lifting the blockades, hair grows thicker and stronger, and the hair at the transition phase (the short hairs on your scalp) grows normally again.

     I am on my 26th day on Aminexil and I'm beginning to see results.  My scalp's condition seems to have normalized, my hair is not oily at the end of the day which it used to be pre-Aminexil, my hair has more body specially on the crown area and I'm beginning to see more short hairs growing.  I particularly like this product because it smells good (unlike other hair products that smell hideous) and is easy to apply.

     Disclaimer: This product is more for prevention of hair loss and maintaining the hair you still have. It does not claim to produce more hair follicles.  In short, if a follicle stops producing a hair, this product will not make that follicle grow a hair again.
