As you are suffering from hair loss and hair thinning, so I can guess that you are at initial stages of hair loss. To save your existing thin hairs, you need to consult a dermatologist and in his guidance, you can opt these following treatments.

• Minoxidil and Finasteride –  These are the only FDA approved medicines for hair loss which you can consume with a prescription. But please make note that these medicines do not regrow hairs which you have lost from roots. These hairs only convert maximum hairs from the telogen phase to the anagen phase which are in a growth phase. Due to this, you may experience initial hair loss but this is completely normal. Now the question is how long one should take the minoxidil then here is the answer. TILL THE TIME YOU WANT HAIRS ON YOUR SCALP OR MINOXIDIL STOPS WORKING FOR YOU.
