Baldness in Men: Preventing Hair Loss

Whilst entirely preventing hair loss is impossible there are some things you can do to reduce the loss or stall its progress. There are very few things that drain the confidence of a man then premature balding. Unfortunately, it is a common trend, many males around the world suffer from balding and most have no idea why. The reality is many, many men become depressed and their confidence may dwindle.

Believe it or not, there are a whole host of causes that can make a man bald. There are certain “Dos” and “Donts” when you are trying to pinpoint the causes of your thinning or completely missing hair. In order for you to get to the root of the problem you have to be able to step back and examine the situation. Treatment can prove to be difficult if you do not know the initial cause of hair loss and how you can prevent it from getting worse – or even stopping it in its tracks. You may even want to consider a DNA test for hair loss as the results of such a test can help towards preventing hair loss by establishing whether you are at a higher genetic risk of losing your hair early.

DO Reduce Stress

Stress can cause a whole host of problems. Your body can go haywire in a hurry and before you know it you are noticing all kinds of different things that your body never used to do. One of the key factors in most non genetic hair loss in men is stress. It doesn’t matter if you are stressed about your job, your relationships, or even finances, stress in your body is indiscriminate. It handles everything essentially the same way, and result could be preventing hair loss.

If you notice that you are in a particularly rough part of your life try to mediate to reduce the level of stress in your life. If you use a little practice and patience you will find that you will not only feel less stressed, but the condition of your hair could start to improve.

DON’T Fall for Fads

If you have ever woke up in the middle of the night to an infomercial you have seen the guy who claims he has solved the balding problem forever. He has this magical cream that can make even a shiny headed bald man grow a full head of hair. Doesn’t it seem a little odd that he is going to give it away to everyone who wants it for an absurdly low price? There is a reason behind that.

Fads are a dime a dozen, and hair growth fad products are no different. They have been around since merchants could peddle and to answer your question – no, they didn’t work then either. At all costs avoid these “too good to be true” deals. The only thing that is going to happen is you are going to end up with less money in your bank account and less hair on your head – definitely not the right step towards preventing hair loss.

DO Eat Right

Eating right is one of the most important things that you could possibly do for your body. Besides it can help achieve your goal of preventing hair loss. It has also proven to have a positive impact on hair in its strength, fullness, and overall appearance. You need to get a lot of Vitamin B vitamins such as B7 and B3, as well as Vitamin C. Your body needs these particular vitamins to help keep your hair looking good, strong and thick.

A small change in your diet can do wonders if you notice that your hair is starting to thin. If you check what you are eating on a daily basis and still lacking the required vitamins, supplements can help fill in the missing pieces. Not only will your hair look better, but you will notice that you will may also begin to feel better too!

DO Consider Genetic Testing

There are places out there that can test your DNA for certain traits and see if you are at a disposition for balding, no matter your age. All it takes is a simple cheek swab, and your DNA can be tested. The lab will look for things such as the Androgen Receptor Gene, and also the traits of your 20th chromosome. Both of these factors can play a significant role in genetic baldness, also known as Androgenic Alopecia.

Once you have these results in black and white you can gauge what to do next. A great way to think about this would be if you discovered that you have these genes, you can do an overhaul on your diet, work on exercising and being healthy and you may stand a better chance at combatting this common, but psychologically debilitating disorder.

DO Talk to Your Doctor

You need to talk to your doctor if you find that you are at risk for developing baldness and want to work towards preventing hair loss, whether it be through a DNA test or otherwise. Your doctor can help lay out some options to help you solve this issue before it gets out of control. There are many different options available depending on the severity of your baldness, age, and hair thickness.
