You can’t always prevent hair from falling out as you age, as hair thinning is just a natural part of getting older. It is true that men tend to lose their hair more quickly and more noticeably than women. Today, we will discuss how you can cover thin areas of your hair, if you wish to do so. There are ways to treat thinning hair naturally, and ways to enhance the look of your hair over time. The truth is that men don’t need to do anything about their baldness or hair thinning unless they want to — unless they miss having the option of playing around with their hair, trying out different hairstyles, and trying out different looks. 

If you are looking for a hair loss solution that gives you the ability to experiment with your hair, then try the hair replacement systems from Hairskeen. While hair loss and hair thinning is an uncomfortable transition, it gives you the opportunity to get the hair you’ve always wanted and style it just how you want to. Maybe you felt that your hair never really reflected your style or even who you are. The hair replacement solutions developed by Hairskeen are significantly better than your average toupee because you have the option to style your hair to make it fit you instead of the other way around.

Meditation and Exercise

If you notice that you are losing hair quicker than normal, or you begin to notice bald patches, it could be a good idea to consider your stress levels. Stress essentially puts hair follicles in a resting stage, so they no longer grow. Anxiety, something we are all familiar with, floors your body with cortisol, a hormone that causes other hormone levels to fluctuate, which could speed up the balding process if you are already genetically predisposed to losing your hair. 

Managing your stress is not only essential, especially in this time, for your health, but for helping slow down hair loss. There are even studies that suggest that meditation can help improve anxiety levels. If meditation isn’t necessarily your cup of tea, then exercising is another great option. Men who exercise regularly release a significantly smaller amount of cortisol throughout the day than men who do not. 

Nutrition

Your diet alone will not save your hair, and it also won’t help your hair grow back. But, your diet can have an impact on your hair’s strength, for example, a diet that is high in sugar is going to lead to unhealthy hair because being nutrient-deficient weakens strands and makes them more prone to breakage. Again, nutritious eating isn’t going to bring your hair back, but eating protein-rich foods and healthy fats can make the hair that you do have look thicker and shinier. B-vitamins found in chicken, fish, eggs, and pork, and leafy greens like spinach will help with that!

Another vitamin that could help in slowing hair loss is vitamin D. A British Journal of Dermatology study reported that people with alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss, were three times as likely to be vitamin D deficient as those with healthy hair. Vitamin D could help hair reset its growth phase. Foods rich in vitamin D include swordfish, salmon, tuna, milk, and orange juice. To clarify, however, it is recommended not to expose your head to direct and prolonged sunlight for more vitamin D, as that could lead to bigger problems, like skin cancer.

Laser Therapy

Some FDA-approved laser devices can help treat hair loss by using low levels of light. Some of these devices are sold as wands or helmets and range from $200 to $900. Some treatments, however, are a ritual that you need to incorporate into your daily life. In a large study done in 2014, and published by the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, men who zapped their scalps three times a week saw an increase in hair density after 26 weeks. It should be noted that the results of using products like these are going to vary greatly, and you shouldn’t count on getting results at all. 

 

 

These are only a few examples of methods you could try to slow down your hair thinning or hair loss, there are many more out there that could work for you. It is difficult, however, because these methods aren’t 100% effective, nor are results even guaranteed. Hair loss and hair thinning can be really difficult to deal with, but you’re not out of options. Hairskeen was developed to inspire men to get creative with their hair again, viewing hair loss as an opportunity to get the hair you’ve always wanted. Hairskeen develops salon-grade, professionally made hair loss solutions that look, feel, and can be styled just like actual hair.
