Hello dear, First of all, do not get influenced by advertisements of hair oils...applying them may be harmful. Male pattern baldness usually follows a pattern of receding hairline & is related to genetic makeup and male sex hormones. Minoxidil preparations (like Mintop 10%) applied directly to the scalp helps in hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles. In addition, you can also use: 1. Multivitamin supplements containing Biotin. 2. Finasteride preparations- it interferes with the production of male hormone linked to baldness. These medications have to be used regularly under the guidance of a Dermatologist. If still there is no relief, I would advise you to go for hair transplant. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
