Best treatment for hair growth?

[Lovemusic33]

Can anyone recommend something to make my hair grow longer? It seems to not grow any longer than shoulder length, I have tried hair food and a few different treatments but nothing has worked, I do dye my hair but not dying it is not really an option as I’m not ready to be all grey.

A friend of mine swears by Dove for Men with caffeine if you want to try something cheaper to start with. I can't verify that claim though - we haven't met up for a year.

Slaughteredchicken i have tried a few with caffeine ,no good, and now experts say caffeine doesn't help hair growth, plantur 39 was the last i tried
It all depends on the reason for hair loss ,and all these shampoos are for getting rid of DHT which not everyone has, so, therefore, won't work for them

Ditch the straighteners (
if you use them) takes a bit of getting used to but honestly your hair will love you for it

I've noticed a receding hairline the last six or so months. I've had a lot of stress but also in my fifties. I'm using biotin and Plantur shampoo. Hair generally feels good apart from thinning hair line near my parting. I feel really very depressed about it. Anyone used anything else that's made hair grow back?

Menopause affects our hair doesn’t it? I wonder if HRT helps.

Minoxidil is the only clinically proven treatment though.

Thank you. I am on hrt but the lowest dose. I wonder if you can get that minoxidil on prescription?

I do use straighteners, my hairs a bit wild without them but I will cut back on using them. I haven’t used shampoo all week and have just been conditioning, not brushing as much and not straightening (my hair looks a mess). I’m 38 so not menopausal yet, my hairs not really got any longer for 5+ years.

HRT, if appropriate. My hair has improved so much since I started. It's taken about 9 months to be noticeable though. I am 52 and started HRT last July.
Incidentally, my previously slightly hairy arms had become hairless in the last couple of years, which I found odd, but quite liked. They are now sporting a youthful, downy covering once again! :)

pockledigg do you mind saying which HRT you are on, i tried Evoral Conti which made it worse,made my daughters hair shed too
