some problems, like alopecia areata, may be permanent and these disorders require quite a long time to regrow frizzy hair lost. For lasting alopecia, Minoxodil is usually spoken of as a possible treatment, but you have got to consider the down sides. Most do not really experience hair regrowth and 1 in 3 really do not notice any improvement. There is also the need to use the prescribed medication indefinitely, with hidden and inevitable running costs.
