Domain Extensions To Watch For

Web sites with the following domain name extensions are usually reliable as they are not trying to sell a product:

.gov

These sites are sponsored by the federal government. National Institutes of Health (nih.gov) and National Library of Medicine (nlm.nih.gov) are good examples of where you can find good hair loss information.

Clinical trial information is documented on clinicaltrials.gov, run by National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration.

These web sites are sponsored by universities and medical institutions. Mayo Clinic (mayo.edu) is a good example although you will also find good hair loss information on an associated site at mayoclinic.com.

.org

Web sites with an .org extension are generally operated by non-profit organizations with the focus on research and teaching.

Questions To Ask

Here are some questions you need to ask when visiting a web site for hair loss information:

• What is the purpose of the web site? To sell a product? If so, is clinical evidence available and have clinical trial results been published? Has the product been featured in a trustworthy medical journal?
• Who is behind the web site? Is there an "About Us" page or "Company Profile" page with contact details?
• Is the information up to date? Does the article carry a date and is the source of the hair loss information identified?

Using the suggestions outlined above when researching hair loss information will help you gather accurate, reliable material which in turn will go a long way to assist you in making an informed decision regarding your treatment options.
