Product Information

Bestselling author Alexandra Christo, author of TikTok sensation To Kill a Kingdom, introduces her new book, The Night Hunt (Hot Key Books), a dark... Many hair growth products have names that hint at what they do. Like them, just the words ‘Happy Head’ provide at least a clue as to what this product is for. However, just because a hair loss product is named this way, that does not mean it is guaranteed to work. Meanwhile, the glass dropper is much higher in quality than plastic ones, but it can be broken, so treat it with care. Next, the side effects of the Happy Head are usually quite mild, if they are even there at all. However, even if Happy Head does give you a side effect, this may go away if you continue to use it. Those younger than eighteen, for example, won’t be able to use it. Also, Happy Head is only sold in America, and not even in all the states. So, those outside that area probably won’t be able to get this product at all. Theoretically, the higher doses you take, the better results you get. This appears to be the case with oral minoxidil but not topical minoxidil. Recent research comparing a 10% minoxidil solution to the more commonly applied 5% found the 5% solution to be superior. 4 Where Happy Head’s 8% solution falls on an efficacy spectrum is unclear.

HappyHead is both a thrilling and chilling book exploring dark themes whilst celebrating friendship and romance. It is a compelling read and was difficult to put down as the tension built. The main characters are authentically written, recognisable but not always likeable which I imagine was the author's intention. The themes around mental health and wellbeing are thoughtful and thought-provoking and drawn from the author's own work experience with teenagers.because of the details I mentioned above, but I will round it to 4 because it was a well-imagined YA Squid Game equivalent.

Also, that one is an aloe carrier means that it will soothe your scalp, an especially nice thing considering the most common side effect of finasteride is irritation. Not recommended if you have low blood pressure or certain heart/vascular conditions, liver disease, kidney disease, a pheochromocytoma, or are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant. Hair loss can sneak up on you when you might not expect it. There are several common causes of hair loss, though one is far more common than the rest: androgenetic alopecia (AGA). 8 This affliction (sometimes also called androgenic alopecia) is commonly referred to as male (or female) pattern baldness. It happens when the body converts an excess amount of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which makes its way to the scalp and inhibits the healthy activity of hair follicles. Over time, those follicles are starved of nutrients, go into a dormant phase, and eventually die off.Choi G-S, et al. (2022).

Meanwhile, the women’s formula, though it has the minoxidil, only has the retinoic acid and the hydrocortisone. This is because finasteride has been potentially linked with birth defects. Paul has a calming, grounded energy and I immediately felt at ease in his presence. Despite the obvious apprehension prior to my first session, I was able to totally relax and be in the moment from the outset.
