Is fenugreek a cure for hair loss?

Fenugreek is an ingredient in some of the herbal solutions being marketed for hair loss - most of these products do not work.

I believe the only products that have been scientifically tested and proven to work are Propecia and Rogaine. They have been approved for sale after being scientifically proven to work. Speak to your doctor about them - they are available by prescription, if your doctor decides it might work with your particular type of hair loss.
NOTE: Do not take fenugreek without first talking to your doctor if you have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder or diabetes, or if you are taking any medicines to prevent or treat a blood clotting disorder or diabetes. Fenugreek has been reported to affect blood clotting and blood sugar levels.
