Today, there are many more ways to combat hair loss than ever before. I would encourage any man who notices an increase in hair loss to seek professional advice. As with any medical condition &#8211; diagnosis is the key; and although some loss over time is inevitable &#8211; starting treatment early can slow down and even reverse the visible signs of certain hair loss conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span>While ageing naturally causes hair to thin, other lifestyle factors can also be an influence. Smoking is one such example, cigarettes\u00a0can hinder the blood flow that maintains hair health. Likewise, not enough protein, omega 3, iron, vitamin C and other essential vitamins and minerals in your diet, as well as dramatic weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alternatively, speak to your trichologist about taking supplements if you aren\u2019t getting enough nutrients naturally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other factors that can contribute to hair loss include stress, some medications, medical conditions, changes in testosterone, lack of exercise and g<\/span><span>enetic\u00a0<\/span><span>inheritance.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hair loss remedies prescribed by a G.P. or pharmacist are a \u2018one type suits all\u2019 &#8211; I prefer and use what is considered to be the most complete and advanced genetic test for hair loss, which analyses DNA and relevant patient characteristics to produce \u2018personalised\u2019 medication, designed specifically to work with your individual genetic functioning &#8211; resulting in improved hair regrowth and retention that is far superior to the generic &#8216;over the counter\u2019 remedies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>3 things to do straight way <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Seek professional help &#8211; your trichologist can identify the cause of your hair loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>If advised, use \u2018personalised\u2019<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>topical treatments &#8211; based on DNA testing, to slow down and reverse the visible signs of hair loss &#8211; (it is possible to achieve dramatic results that many men are extremely happy with).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Examine your lifestyle, diet, exercise regime, stress management, sleep patterns and overall health.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>Cosmetic solutions<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There are also a number of excellent \u2018cosmetic\u2019 enhancements &#8211; that will improve how your hair looks &#8211; and restore confidence; from changing your hairstyle, shampoo, conditioner and hair styling products to the use of fibres that adhere to your own hair to make each strand thicker and (in more pronounced cases) hairpieces that can be made to replicate natural hairlines and perfect colour blends.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The ultimate \u2018cosmetic\u2019 hair enhancement is now considered to be <\/span><span>Scalp Micropigmentation <\/span><span>&#8211; a procedure in which\u00a0 pigments\u00a0are applied to the scalp via specialist micro needles, replicating the appearance of hundreds or thousands of hair follicles, resulting in a gradual build up of hair density and a natural recreation of the hairline.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>Hair transplants<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The final word<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>however &#8211; must go to the option of hair transplants.
