Although losing hair is an inevitable part of ageing, effective treatments and remedies are there to slow down the progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have shown that hair loss affects more than half of the men worldwide who are over the age of 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will discuss some effective hair loss treatments for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What causes hair loss in men?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there are several reasons for hair loss in men, the number one cause is family history or genetics. In addition, various studies have indicated that hair fall in men is linked to male sex hormone called androgen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy hair strands on the head go through a growth cycle. For example, if you suffer from male pattern baldness<\/a>, your hair’s growth cycle weakens and produces finer and shorter hair strands. Ultimately the growth cycle of your hair ends with no new hair to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason for hair fall is due to health conditions such as thyroid, hormonal imbalances or stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premature hair loss in men <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, men of the age of 35 would have experienced a certain degree of hair loss. However, if you are aged below twenty-five years and experiencing hair loss, it would be wise to proactively handle it without letting it worsen any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best hair loss treatments available for men<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let us take a closer look at some of the available methods for treating male hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Finasteride<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This medication helps to slow down the progress of hair fall by reducing DHT in the scalp area. DTH is a hormone that causes hair loss in men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Minoxidil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This medication is available as serums and has to be directly applied on top of the affected region. Minoxidil causes the hair follicles to grow thicker. Immediate effects can be seen after using this drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Hair Loss shampoos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One effective remedy to combat hair loss is by using medicated shampoos. Shampoos rich in ingredients such as caffeine, argan, and palmetto can help heal your scalp and enhance hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, they will also help to remove stubborn dandruff from your scalp region. This will turn chronic if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Niacinamide based conditioners <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin (vitamin B3) that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, it helps to retain moisture and regulate oil in the skin for enhanced growth of healthy hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also has many properties to boost circulation and improve hair structure. It also helps to heal damaged hair by helping to build keratin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Biotin tablets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Popularly known as Vitamin B7, it helps to stimulate keratin production in the hair and increase hair growth. This supplementation is highly helpful for people who are deficient in biotin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you can also consume foods that are rich in biotins, such as eggs, seeds, fish, vegetables and nuts. This will help to fortify your hair follicles and improve your keratin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Collagen powder<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This protein has lots of essential functions in the body, formed through chains of amino acids. The two essential amino acids in the body are proline and glycine. Increasing collagen production in the body is the key to improving your body’s hair health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your body lacks sufficient collagen, you can see lots of hair breakages, and your hair looks dry and dull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An eight-week study conducted on 69 women aged 33-35 who were regularly consuming collagen have improved hair growth and skin elasticity than the control group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair transplants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If all the methods have failed, you could opt for other interventions including hair transplant. It is an invasive method in which hair follicles that are resistant to DHT from the backside of the scalp are removed and replanted in the balding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair transplant gives a more natural look, and the effects are long-lasting. However, multiple treatments are necessary, and the procedure carries the risk of infection and scarring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, researchers have developed various treatments methods to successfully combat the age-old problem of hair fall in men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, not all treatments suit everyone. Before choosing a treatment method, it is important to consult a certified medical practitioner to make sure that your preferred treatment methods suit your skin type and underlying cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
