FOLIGAIN Advanced Hair Regrowth Hair Shampoo Minoxidil 2%

FOLIGAIN® Advanded Hair Regroth Shampoo with 2% Minoxidil is expertly formulated for men and women suffering from hair loss or thinning hair. Our revolutionary formula is the first to combine clinically proven Minoxidil with Trioxidil®, a triple action hair regrowth complex that works fast to deliver fuller, thicker, and healthier-looking hair.

Male Pattern Baldness occurs when enzymes called 5α-reductases convert healthy testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and the growth phase to shorten. Blocking DHT from the scalp is the key to ending hair loss. The next thing you need is a product with the proper ingredients to promote circulation to the scalp, increasing hair growth. The final thing to look for is nutrients to feed the healthy and new hair follicles, so hair will be healthy. Minoxidil and Trioxidil® work together to revitalize hair follicles and help prevent hair loss by stimulating the extracellular matrix of the scalp and blocking harmful DHT. Using advanced mechanisms, this shampoo will help build the necessary proteins for healthy hair growth, superior hair anchoring, and scalp health. These ingredients have gone through rigorous testing and research to ensure the best support for hair growth, scalp health and follicle health.

What is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil was the first drug approved for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hair loss). Before that, minoxidil had been used as vasodilator drug prescribed as oral tablet to treat high blood pressure, with side effects that included hair growth and reversal of male baldness. For the treatment of hair loss, minoxidil is available as a topical solution that is generally either 2% or 5% minoxidil in propylene glycol. The propylene glycol ensures that the applied minoxidil is evenly spread across the affected area and easily absorbed through the skin.

How does Minoxidil work?

Minoxidil topical solution is used to stimulate hair growth in people who are balding. The drug seems to exert its maximum effect at the crown of the head. The exact way that minoxidil works is not known, but it may stimulate hair growth by improving the blood supply to the hair follicles.

What is Ketoconazole?

Ketoconazole can help with hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), due to its antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its potential role in disrupting the hormonal processes involved in hair loss. Here's how it works:

1. Antifungal Properties

Ketoconazole is primarily an antifungal medication used to treat conditions like dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, which can contribute to hair loss. By reducing fungal overgrowth (such as Malassezia species) on the scalp, it improves scalp health and reduces inflammation, creating a better environment for hair growth.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Chronic inflammation of the scalp can damage hair follicles, leading to hair thinning and loss. Ketoconazole reduces inflammation, which can help protect hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.

3. DHT Blocker

There is evidence suggesting that ketoconazole can inhibit dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to androgenetic alopecia. DHT shrinks hair follicles, leading to shorter hair growth cycles and thinner hair strands. Ketoconazole may counteract this process, potentially slowing hair loss and promoting thicker hair.

4. Improved Hair Growth

Some studies indicate that ketoconazole, when used in a shampoo form (typically 1% or 2% concentration), may increase the density and thickness of hair by improving follicle function and extending the anagen (growth) phase of hair.

Massage into wet hair and scalp for 1-2 minutes. For best results allow the product to sit for another 3-4 minutes so that the active ingredients have time to work. Rinse your hair thoroughly. For optimal results apply at least 3-5 times a week and follow with FOLIGAIN® Triple Action Conditioner.
