Best way to solve hair loss problem for men

Some of the best 

prevention methods 

include:

• eating a balanced diet
  
• using combs with wider spaces between bristles
  
• avoiding harsh treatments and hairstyles
  
• switching medications to avoid the side effect of hair loss if possible
  
• avoiding pulling or twisting hair

Medications

There are medications that can be bought over the counter that may help treat hair loss.

     These typically come in the form of foams or other topical ointments.

     The two most common medications are minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride             (Propecia).

Minoxidil :

• Minoxidil was originally developed to treat high blood pressure.

•  Developers found that it had the side effect of excessive, unwanted hair growth. 

• This effect gave drug companies reason to consider it for male baldness. 

Surgery

• The only surgery available for hair loss is hair transplant surgery. 

• Transplanting hair works for men with male pattern baldness. 

• The transplant involves removing hair follicles from the back of the head where they are resistant to DHT and placing them on the scalp.

  
  

Laser combs

• Laser combs are a

  newer form of treatment for hair loss. 

         It is claimed these devices promote hair growth by using concentrated light that stimulates hair follicles. 

         This treatment has mixed results and may work best when combined with other forms of treatment.

Wigs and hair pieces

In some cases, hair loss may be permanent or long-term. 

In others, men might prefer a non-medical way to treat hair loss. Wigs and hairpieces offer a means to disguise hair loss. 

Wigs and hairpieces have advanced enormously in the past several years. 

If the baldness is caused by a medical condition, the cost of a wig may also be covered by the person's insurance provider.
