Why Mop Maker instead of or in addition to hair loss medications

Most people tolerate oral finasteride (Propecia), topical finasteride, Rogaine (minoxidil including generic Rogaine and Kirkland minoxidil), and oral and topical dutasteride (Avodart) well. However, finasteride side effects and Propecia side effects can include reduced sex drive, erectile problems, and mental fog.

Minoxidil side effects tend to be less severe, though oral minoxidil requires special supervision due to potential cardiovascular effects. Some men explore experimental alternatives like RU58841, or various oil for hair growth, which all come with their own potential for serious side effects.

There's a crucial caveat to prescription hair medications: once you start, you can never stop. If you discontinue your finasteride prescription or any other medications you start taking, your hair loss will resume, and you'll likely lose the hair you maintained. And even while consistently using meds, your hair loss will continue – just to a lesser degree.

The Mop Maker was created as a way for us to work with the hair we have
without having to incur the costs and risks that other hair loss solutions require or accept the often mediocre results they provide. And if you do choose to pursue medications, Mop Maker can enhance your results, helping you achieve even better coverage.
