For frontal hair loss, the most effective clinically proven treatments are topical Minoxidil and oral Finasteride. Minoxidil (5% foam or liquid) is applied directly to the scalp twice daily to stimulate hair regrowth. Finasteride (1mg prescription tablet taken daily) blocks DHT, the hormone responsible for male pattern baldness, preventing further thinning. Combining both often yields the best results. However, hair loss can also be caused by stress, thyroid issues, or vitamin deficiencies. I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and a personalised prescription plan before starting any medication.
