Hair treatments is an umbrella term for medical, cosmetic, and aesthetic interventions aimed at improving hair growth, scalp health, hair strength, or appearance. It can mean very different things depending on context. On the medical side, youre looking at treatments for hair loss like topical minoxidil, oral medications, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), low-level laser therapy, or surgery like hair transplantation. On the cosmetic side, it includes conditioning, scalp treatments, keratin smoothing, bonding treatments, or hair fibre camouflage. Mechanisms vary: medications alter the hair growth cycle, PRP uses growth factors from your own blood, lasers stimulate follicles with light energy, and cosmetic treatments mainly coat, hydrate, or strengthen the hair shaft rather than changing growth.
