How To Prevent Male Baldness

For some men, male baldness is inevitable – whether it happens for genetic reasons, or simply because you are getting older, the majority of guys will have to face this problem at some point in their lives.

However, while it is natural for hair to thin as you age, there are some things you can do to slow down male pattern baldness.

Read on to find out more.

 

• Look after your scalp

The first time you realise your hair is falling out in the shower, it is natural to freak out, but don’t let this put you off washing your hair. In fact, if you want to retain your hair for as long as possible, it is important to wash it regularly and keep your scalp clean and healthy.

By doing this, you reduce the chance of dandruff, itchiness, and infections, which can cause hair to fall out. A clean scalp also encourages hair to grow, and makes it look more voluminous.

 

• Do not over-style

While it is important to shampoo and massage your hair in the shower – which also increases the blood flow to the scalp to boost hair growth – it is essential you don’t mess around with it too much when styling.

Excessive combing, brushing wet hair, using heated appliances and drying can also damage it, making it weak and breakable.

 

• Eat well

Believe it or not, your diet can play a huge role in hair health, so make sure you eat foods that are high in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. You might want to take a Vitamin D supplement to boost your levels even more, while Vitamin A is known for increasing sebum production in the scalp, Vitamin E improves blood circulation, and Vitamin B helps hair colour to remain strong.
