There are a number of ways to prevent hair loss in men that weren't around when your dad lost his hair. Here are seven tips to prevent hair loss, some old and some new, that may help you keep your hair even if you are already experiencing hair loss.
SEVEN TIPS TO PREVENT HAIR LOSS IN MEN
1. Keep your hair short. Longer hair puts more stress on the hair follicles, and you'll lose more hair as a result. Shorter hair also makes it easier to keep your scalp clean which is good for your hair.
2. Practice good scalp hygiene. This means washing your hair regularly, and making sure that you rinse it well. Also ensure that products you may apply to your hair are in between shampoos - such as mousse, or cream - are thoroughly removed when you wash your hair.
3. Eat a healthy diet, and take a quality multivitamin formulated for men. Good nutrition can help you keep your hair.
4. If you have a stressful job, learn how to relax and make sure you carve out some time for yourself to get your stress levels down. Stress causes your body to release hormones which can contribute to hair loss.
5. Apply a minoxidil product to your scalp according to directions. This is another reason to keep your short as it makes the product easier to apply. Minoxidil has been clinically proven to prevent hair loss and promote regrowth. You can purchase it in the form of Rogaine.
6. Take Propecia. This is available in pill form. Propecia blocks the enzyme that creates the hormone responsible for male pattern baldness.
7. Use a lasercomb, such as Hairmax. The FDA has recently approved the use of laser treatment for hair loss. Make sure to clean your scalp thoroughly prior to using the lasercomb.
