Anything that helps you sleep better probably does help hair loss.

Research on melatonin for treating male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) shows some promise, but it's not a guaranteed solution, and more definitive studies are needed. Here's a breakdown of what we know:
Potential Benefits:

• Antioxidant Properties: Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that can help scavenge free radicals, which contribute to hair follicle damage and hair loss.
• Hair Follicle Stimulation: Studies suggest melatonin might play a role in regulating the hair growth cycle and potentially stimulate hair growth in the anagen phase.
• Topical Application: Research indicates that topical application of melatonin solutions might be more effective than oral supplements for hair loss.

Evidence and Limitations:

• Limited Studies: While some studies show positive results, more large-scale, long-term clinical trials are needed to confirm melatonin's effectiveness for hair loss.
• Unclear Mechanism: The exact mechanism by which melatonin might influence hair growth is not fully understood.
• Individual Results: As with most hair loss treatments, results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of hair loss.

Here are some resources with more details on the current research:

• National Journal of Hair Restoration Science: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23766606/
• Hims: https://www.hims.com/hair-loss

Important Considerations:

• Consult a Doctor: If you're considering using melatonin for hair loss, consult a dermatologist or trichologist (hair specialist) first. They can diagnose the cause of your hair loss and determine if melatonin is an appropriate option for you.
• Topical Application Preferred: Research suggests topical melatonin solutions might be more effective than oral supplements. Discuss this option with your doctor.
• Not a Magic Solution: Melatonin may be a potential tool, but it's not a guaranteed cure for hair loss.
• Combined Approach: Your doctor might recommend combining melatonin with other hair loss treatments like minoxidil or finasteride for better results.

Overall:
Melatonin shows potential as a treatment for male pattern baldness, particularly when applied topically. However, more research is required to confirm its long-term effectiveness. Consulting a doctor for diagnosis and personalized treatment recommendations is crucial.

According to research it promotes growth, in practice it hasn't helped anyone.
