Hair Loss Prevention Tips for Men

.

A receding hairline, thinning hair or a bald head are frustrating for men and gnaw away at self-esteem. Proper diet and some home remedies can help your hair grow back naturally. We will show you the means you can use to stop hair loss.


Home remedies for hair loss: Onion juice & beer rinse



If there is no serious medical condition, men can try to counteract hair loss with the help of home remedies. Many men swear by tinctures made from onion juice, which stimulate blood circulation and stimulate the hair roots by irritating the scalp. The sulfur compound contained in onions has a positive effect on the formation of new hair.


Nettles have also proven to be a natural remedy for hair loss. As cooked vegetables or as a smoothie, they provide the body with many important vitamins and nutrients that are necessary for hair growth. A stinging nettle brew also strengthens the hair roots when applied externally.

Hair masks made from wheat germ oil and fresh hen's eggs, which should be left on the head for a quarter of an hour, have a similar effect. They supply the hair roots with important vitamins and other nutrients and thus stimulate hair growth. If the egg mixture is too mushy for you, you can try a homemade hair treatment made from lemon juice and olive oil. Because of the caffeine it contains, rinses with cold coffee also stimulate blood flow to the scalp and thus stimulate the hair roots.

Head massages and sleep

Head massages can also be helpful. They stimulate blood circulation in the scalp and promote hair growth. It also relaxes the soul and reduces the stress level. This alone can cause hair to sprout again in stressed men.

Another thing that helps is getting enough sleep. It should be at least seven hours of sleep a night to relax and regenerate the body. Oftentimes, hair loss is a result of stress - avoid it or try to reduce it in your spare time. The best way to do this is through physical activity and relaxation exercises.

Medication

If all these measures do not stop hair loss, men should see a doctor and discuss drug therapy options with him. Basically, two active ingredients come into consideration, which are usually only used in the case of hormone-related hair loss: finasteride and minoxidil.  Minoxidil stimulates the blood flow to the hair follicles and thus supports the activity of the hair roots.

Finasteride, on the other hand, was originally only prescribed for benign prostate enlargement. The active ingredient is taken orally in the form of tablets and regulates the hormonal balance. However, neither minoxidil nor finasteride are free from side effects such as skin irritation or hair growth in unwanted areas. In addition, it is often observed that the hair falls out again as soon as the medication is stopped. The patient should therefore discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the therapy in detail with his doctor.

When a hair transplant can be considered

Whether such a hair transplant is an option depends on the cause of the hair loss. In the case of hereditary hair loss, a hair transplant can help men regain abundant hair. Small pieces of tissue with hair follicles, which are usually not sensitive to testosterone, are cut out from the even more hairy back of the head and transplanted to the bald areas. However, this assumes that there are still enough hair roots in the scalp. In any case, the procedure should be performed by an experienced dermatologist.
