One of the most essential things to establish in order to grow more hairs, either on your scalp, beard, or anywhere else on the body, is good blood circulation.

So now the question becomes, how can I increase blood flow to my scalp?

To answer the question briefly already, exercising, drinking enough water, and a healthy diet are the most important things to get in order to improve blood flow to the scalp.

Yet, many more tips exist. Let me explain what other things we can do to improve our circulatory system.

Nevertheless, even this potent drug’s effectiveness has its limits. Important to realize is that the sooner you start using minoxidil once you start noticing hair loss, the better your results will be.

The reason being that it’s much easier to halt or slow down hair loss than it is regrowing lost hair.

Some medication can be addictive. Be it for the mind, the body, and sometimes, even both.

Let me answer the question shortly already. There is no such thing as minoxidil shampoo. And if some marketers sell it as such, it should be considered a scam and not efficient.
