Hair loss is no laughing matter. Not only does it affect roughly 40% of all men during their lifetime, but it also affects some women.

Some Facts And Figures About Hair Loss In Men

It is recorded that about 2/3 of all men in America will have some type of hair loss before 50. About 25% of all those who do lose their hair start to suffer before they have even hit 21. Another alarming statistic is that roughly 85% of all men will suffer from thinning hair, whether they go bold or not.

With these alarming statistics in mind, let us move on to discuss the things that you can do to help fight back against hair loss.

Things men can do to combat hair loss

There are some things that you can do to help stop the thinning of your hair. Here are some of our favorites.

1 – Use a hair loss shampoo

Finding a good hair loss shampoo for men isn’t easy. However, if you are willing to try different products, you should discover something that works for you. Many hair loss shampoos use ingredients such as caffeine to stimulate the growth of new hair follicles. While this isn’t a sure-fire method of regrowing your hair, it does seem to have quite an enhanced effect.

2 – Taking good care of your hair

Taking good care of your hair can help to prevent hair thinning into later life. Taking good care of your hair involves washing it every three days or less with a mild shampoo. It means patting your hair dry instead of rubbing it vigorously with a towel. Taking care of your hair also suggests using a detangling brush instead of a regular hairbrush. Detangling brushes pull out less hair than standard brushes do.

3 – Nutritional supplements

There are plenty of nutritional supplements on the market specifically aimed at men who are losing their hair. Be very wary about which ones you trust and which ones you don’t. As a general rule, hair loss nutritional supplements will contain things like biotin, iron, and vitamin C. Be wary of chemical ingredients if you don’t know their purpose.

4 – Scalp massage

Although scalp massage won’t help your hair to fully regrow, having regular massages can help to stimulate the hair follicles and produce thicker, stronger hair. This is an excellent way to stop yourself from losing more hair over time.
