How it works
Curlz-F 3% Topical Solution is a combination of two medicines: Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil is a vasodilator which widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. This prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
Quick Tips
Wash your hands before and after application. It should only be applied directly to the scalp area. If Curlz-F 3% Topical Solution accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, nose or mouth, flush the area thoroughly with cool tap water. Do not shampoo your hair for 4 hours after applying Curlz-F 3% Topical Solution or use a hairdryer as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Take care that Curlz-F 3% Topical Solution does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
