Application: Why Method is Everything
This is a relatively short lesson though one which is definitely as important to treatment success as the topics of lessons one and two; consistency and duration.
This lesson assumes that you’re using a topically applied lotion; hair loss creams and nutritional supplements are not included.
Whichever product you are using the chief aim is to ensure all affected areas of your scalp absorb as much of your product’s active ingredients per dose as possible.
Ejected lotion that does not make contact your scalp is ineffective and therefore wastage. Lotion ‘misfired’ into the air or onto skin other than your scalp or, onto the hair itself is a missed opportunity that you can never get back.
Though this may come across as sensational, the effect of continual inefficient application is compounding and can result in: -
Expert trichologists agree “All of the above increases the chances of the user may become despondent and is more likely to discontinue use of the product.
A user may then be more likely to try an alternative hair loss product only to continue on a constant cycle of unsatisfactory result (cyclic product usage).
So, the time to master your application technique is from the start of your hair loss treatment programme. By getting this aspect of your treatment right from day one you will: -
Use the guidance in the following sections as a framework for application excellence.

Though this may come across as sensational, the effect of continual inefficient application is compounding and can result in: -
- A lack of results
- A delayed result
- The perception of poor product efficacy (“it’s not working so well”)
- Increased cost
- Your condition reaching an irreparable point of no return

- Maximise the amount of active ingredient contacting your scalp
- Heighten the likelihood of achieving earlier positive results
- Avoid the negative effects of continual inefficient application
- Minimise wastage and unnecessary cost
