What’s hair loss all about then? We know it can be hard to get a full picture of what’s going on, so we’ll tell it to you straight. Here’s the science behind why guys lose their hair, how our products work, and what you can expect from treatment.
Hair normally grows, falls out, and regrows in a cycle, which can be broken down into four main phases.
The strand of hair grows upwards from the root, with a nourishing blood supply to the follicle. This phase lasts 2–7 years and determines the length of our hair.
The follicle shrinks as it moves away from the blood supply. This phase lasts about 10 days.
The old shrunken follicle rests while a new hair begins to grow behind it. 10–15% of hairs are in this phase at any one time, which lasts around 3 months.
The hair is gradually loosened and the root detaches from the follicle. The strand falls out, and the cycle starts again.
Male pattern hair loss is a hereditary condition that affects two thirds of guys by age 35. Men who inherit this trait have a genetic sensitivity to a byproduct of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which slows and halts the normal hair growth cycle. DHT builds up around follicles, shrinking them over time and causing hair strands to thin, shorten, then eventually fall out – and not grow back,as they normally would.
The degree and progression of male pattern hair loss is assessed using the Norwood classification system, which has seven stages. Identifying where you are at on this scale helps determine the correct treatment.

Sons treatments work in two main ways. Finasteride blocks DHT, protecting follicles from shrinking and hair strands from thinning. Minoxidil increases blood flow, revitalising shrunken follicles. Our DHT blocking Shampoo enhances the effects of Finasteride, and our Biotin vitamin promotes hair health.

Minoxidil FAQs
It takes some time for changes to become visible. Some men will shed more fine hairs than normal, but this is only temporary.
Hair loss may have considerably slowed or stopped completely. Some people see signs of regrowth, primarily at the crown of the head.
As the medication continues to work, miniaturised hairs will be replaced by thicker healthier hairs which leads to a gradual improvement in hair density over time .

“I’ve been using the Son’s full works package daily for the last 6 months… I knew the products were making a difference. However, it wasn’t until I took my 6-month progress shot that I realised the true effect they’d had on my hair.”
