Tom Cruise Using Minoxidil for Thinning Hair

Tom Cruise may have a withering film career and a badly exposed personal life, but if there’s one thing he’s managed to maintain through all these years it’s his hairline. Or has he?

According to a Star Magazine insider, the Top Gun hero is using hair loss treatments to hold onto his locks as well.

“Tom is using Rogaine because his [hair] is thinning. Plus he gets weekly massages to stimulate growth,” the source said.

The 46 year-old had shaved his hair short once before after splitting from ex-wife Nicole Kidman, but it seems the former sex symbol isn’t prepared for a bald look he can’t control.

Male pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men but there a number things that could have contributed to Cruise's thinning hair, which has always been thick and (dare I say) luscious. Stress, nutritional deficiencies and illness are just some things that can lead to excess shedding. The cause of Cruise’s hair loss is unknown as is the authenticity of the source for that matter however we’re glad to hear he’s using Rogaine, or minoxidil, which is a clinically proven hair loss treatment.

However, using minoxidil alone is unlikely to solely stop genetic hair loss. There are a few trusted hair loss treatments available but not everyone will be suited to one particular solution. If you're concerned about hair loss, you should consult a specialist to get personalised advice and an individualised treatment program which tackles the situation from every angle.

For some men, baldness isn’t a big deal and it suits them. Perhaps for Tom though, it was his character Les Grossman, the fat, bald and hot-headed studio executive in Tropic Thunder, which made him want to take up preventative action now.
