Hair Loss In Men And Some Effective Methods To Combat That

Have you wondered why the list of “follicularly-challenged" antagonists in Hollywood is seemingly endless? From Darth Maul in Star Wars to Superman’s Lex Luther, there is no dearth of bald villains. It is because baldness often comes with negative connotations. Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 movie Full Metal Jacket showed a correlation between baldness and conformity. It portrayed bald men as lacking individualism and authority. In real life, male baldness is not so much as associated with evil as it is with a lack of confidence or self pity. Hair fall and hair loss are those unfortunate events in life that afflict millions of men as well as women. Male pattern baldness is the most common hair fall issue. It accounts for more than 95 percent of hair loss in men. The American Hairloss Association has estimated that by the age of 35, around 65 percent of American men will have experienced some form of hair fall. By the age of 50, more than 80 percent men will encounter thinning hair and you may be one of them. Unless Golum (Lord of the Rings) or Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter franchise) are your style icons, there are high chances that you do not want to end up with a shiny bald head or one with few strands of hair here and there. There are various effective hair fall treatments for men, which can help you save yourself from looking like a big bad bald villain.

Here are few methods of effective hair fall treatment that have proven beneficial for thousands of men. They are not only reliable but also safe.

1. Prescription drugs: There are two drugs for treating hair fall that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are Minoxidil and Finasteride. These are over the counter (OTC) medicines that are available with a prescription from your doctor. It will take years of regular intake of these medicines before you see an effective change.

2. Transplants: The two of the most popular hair transplants are - Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and Follicular unit extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing some skin from a part of the scalp that has a lot of hair, removing the follicles from that skin and transplanting the follicles into the part of the scalp that is experiencing heavy hair fall. When follicles are removed directly from the skin and transplanted in the bald spots, it is called FUE. 

3. Quit smoking: Smoking has often been associated with hair fall. It is also a cause of premature greying. In order to prevent hair loss and experience healthy growth, it is important for you to quit smoking.

4. Maintain a healthy diet: One of the most effective and natural methods of hair fall treatment is to maintain a healthy diet along with a healthy lifestyle. Eating foods loaded with protein, vitamins and minerals along with a lot of water ensures that you do not have to deal with hair loss. 

There are various registered hair clinics where you can get quality hair solutions for men. They will not only identify your issue but also tell you the causes and the solutions.
