One of the lesser-known methods to treat hair loss or balding (alopecia) is via Finasteride tablets under the Propecia brand, which are consumed orally. This tablet is specifically developed to counter male pattern baldness, and should not be consumed by women.
It is a medicinal hair growth spray that treats and reverses balding, and sold under the brand name Regro, Regaine or Rogaine. Both men and women may use this product and can help to treat balding of the crown.
Finasteride works in the body by blocking the actions of the 5-alpha reductase; this helps to stop the enzyme from converting testosterone in the male’s body to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), reducing the adverse effect it has on the hair follicles in the scalp and thus reducing hair loss.
The recommended dose is 1mg and is consumed once a day – this should lead to a noticeable reduction in hair loss after a few months of consumption and new hair should begin growing back within this period of time.
The hair growth spray should be used twice a day, 5-6 sprays at a time. It causes the scalp’s blood vessels to vasodilate, improving the blood circulation in the area which results in more nutrients, oxygen and blood flowing in the scalp. This will stop the shedding of hair after a few months of use, and new hairs will begin to grow soon after this.
* It is a long-term treatment and should be used regularly, as the newly grown hair will fall out if the spray is not being used.

Bald spots may emerge, or hair may be significantly weakened, leading to large clumps falling off when washing or combing.
