There are hundreds of anti-hair loss products on the market that claim to stop or even reverse hair loss. Though as far as we can see, only a small number of them seem to actually work. It is a fact that there is no cure for baldness yet. Still, it does not mean that we cannot benefit from certain lifestyle changes and treatment options. Let’s have a look at our options for hair loss treatment.

1. Propecia (Finasteride)

While it may seem too good to be true, there is actually an FDA-approved anti-hair loss pill that goes by the name finasteride. Finasteride works by downregulating a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). This hormone is responsible for reduced blood flow to the hair follicles, and thus it shrinks follicles and causes the hair to get thinner over time.

1. Minoxidil (Rogaine)

This is another FDA-approved treatment option for hair loss. This one comes in foam or spray forms, and you are supposed to apply it directly onto the scalp. This one works by dilating blood vessels around hair follicles and, in this way, giving them more nutrition and oxygen to survive on.

1. FUE Operation

FUE is one of the two main types of hair transplants in practice. In this operation, we extract follicles from the back of the head and implant them on balding places one by one. The results of FUE operations are permanent.

1. DHI Operation

DHI is the newer alternative to FUE. They are fairly similar operations, but DHI has some advantages over FUE. For example, DHI operations allow for more dense implantation.

1. Reducing Stress in Your Life

Over time, sustained periods of stress take their toll on our body, and hair is no exception. In most cases, lowering the stress levels helps slow down or even reverse hair loss in some people.

1. Regular Exercise

In our opinion, people tend to downplay the benefits of exercising. Regular exercise can help us alleviate stress and improve circulation. Both of these effects will have an impact on how healthy your hair is too.

1. Quitting Smoking

You might have realised that we mention blood circulation a lot. Well, there is no better way to reduce blood flow as efficiently as smoking. So if you are a smoker, consider giving up the habit ASAP.

1. Having a Balanced Diet

This is another underrated aspect of our general health. Various types of nutritional deficiencies can contribute to hair loss. Often, addressing these deficiencies improve hair health significantly.

1. Scalp Massages

Giving yourself a brief massage on the scalp can help stimulate blood flow around the follicles. A small study showed that five minutes of massage every day for six months resulted in the participants getting thicker hair.
