Hair Loss Scams

Don't get scammed. On July 7, 1989 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its ban on fraudulent hair growth products. This ban is in effect today, yet fraudulent hair growth products are everywhere. The "blocked follicle" scam is the oldest one around. Products sold under this scam promise to grow hair by unclogging your follicles. Save your money.

How did this scam get started? Follicles sometimes fill with sebum. This is a soft, waxy product of the sebaceous gland from within the follicle. It's there as a natural lubricant for your skin and hair. Sebum does not cause hair loss by blocking your follicles, nor do cosmetic products like DermMatch.
Growing hairs from productive follicles are practically unstoppable. Ingrown hairs are painful evidence of this. Hair follicles, however, are often genetically preprogrammed to die. Dead follicles no longer produce hairs. This is called androgenetic alopecia and it accounts for more than 90% of all hair loss.
Learn about hair loss. Don't get scammed.
