      Hair loss remedies are always criticized on the grounds that you need to continue using them to continue seeing the benefits.

      I don’t know why this complaint surfaces for hair loss medications in particular, when a lot of things are like this. Insulin. Depression drugs. All supplements. Etc.

      That’s the problem I’ve always had with baldness remedies. Shaving my head every other week takes less effort and saves money. Plus I’ve been bald since highschool so I’m kinda used to it at this point.

        Saves money sure, but every other week? I have to buzz it twice a week to keep it short enough to not look terrible. That’s enough effort that I’d rather apply a regular treatment.

        Not like a daily “keep doing it or you lose all progress” treatment, but maybe like a “use it more or less daily and it’ll grow back” treatment.
