    Are you losing a lot of hair around the hairline or top of your head and need the best hair loss prevention tips? Well, you are not alone! One-fifth of men encounter significant hair loss by age of 20. Here’s another hard-to-swallow fact: 35% of men lose their hair in their 30s. 

     

    If you are experiencing hair loss and have no idea how to prevent it, you are at the right place. In this blog, Lordhair will share the best hair loss prevention tips and ideas focused on diet, hair care, and styling. 

     

     Without further ado, let’s go through the best hair loss prevention hacks! 

     

    Hair loss prevention: Foods

     

    Before you look for hair care and styling tips or book your appointment with a dermatologist, it’s imperative to look at what you are eating. Regularly consuming foods lacking in nutrients is becoming a major reason behind hair loss in young men. 

     

    The good news is that positive dietary changes can make a drastic impact on hair health. Young men who are serious about preventing hair loss in the future should try adding these foods to their regular diet:

     

    Carrots: Add carrots to your diet if you want to nourish hair from the inside. One of the best foods for hair loss prevention, it contains Vitamin A, which not only conditions the scalp but also helps in crossing swords with hair loss. Not to mention, it also improves the strength of strands and makes them thicker.

    Oats: We can imagine a lot of you murmuring, “But oats are for losing weight, right?” Yes, they are but at the same time, they are effective for hair loss prevention. Oats are rich in beta-glucans which help improve insulin sensitivity, one of the major reasons behind male pattern baldness. So, add oats to your weekly diet chart!

     

    Eggs: Making eggs your new best friend will help you retain a full head of hair. It helps in chucking away hair loss by stimulating the scalp and providing the right nutrition to the hair follicles. The favorite food of gym lovers also nourishes the hair and prevents them from falling. Its yolk improves hair strands’ resiliency by hydrating them. It can also curb damage and prevent the onset of split-ends! 

     

    Whilst above are some foods for overcoming hair loss, these are some more that can help dodge hair fall in the long run: 

     

    • Shrimp
    • Walnuts 
    • Fish (tuna, mackerel, salmon, and herring)
    • Green peas 
    • Prunes 
    • Low-fat dairy products (skim milk and yogurt)
    • Leafy greens (kale, spinach, and collard) 
    • Fruits (berries, apricots, grapes, and oranges) 

     

    12 foods to prevent hair loss and aid quick recovery

     

    Hair fall prevention: Styling

     

    Another major reason behind growing hair loss cases among young men is styling. A lot of medium and long hairstyles pull on the hair significantly. The same makes the follicles undergo stress, making it easier for strands to fall out. 

     

    Now, this under no circumstances means that men should stop styling their hair. They just need to follow some styling tips in order to prevent hair damage. 

     

    Ruminate over these pearls of wisdom for hair loss prevention: 

     

    Go matte: Men experiencing hair thinning should switch to matte products. Use a matte styling paste or clay to make your hair appear thicker and more manageable. Between thick and creamy viscosity, our hair experts suggest going with the former. It will quickly make hair feel fatter by adding body, density, and structure to individual strands.

    Avoid combover: One of the most important styling tips for hair loss prevention! Growing strands longer and using them to cover up bald patches never worked and it never will. The major problem with the comb-over hairstyle is that it’s difficult to keep in place. In fact, your hair loss will become more noticeable with this haircut.

     

    Safer shampoos: Though it may seem unlikely, shampoos are often the root of hair loss among young men. Look at the back of your shampoo bottle itself. You will notice that it comprises harmful chemicals that strip hair of natural oils. Want to learn more about this? Read this blog about harmful chemicals in shampoos we wrote about a while ago. 

     

    Use medical and organic shampoos instead. They will exfoliate the scalp with salicylic acid and promote blood circulation for the greater good. Also, don’t shampoo the hair every day. Turns out, the hair biologically can’t replenish its oils quick enough to justify washing every day. Instead, shampoo your hair only twice a week!  

     

    Limited styling: Overuse of heat-focused styling tools such as hairdryer, curling wand, or straightener makes the hair dry, prone to breakage, and subsequently more likely to fall out, especially if used regularly. That's because dry heat coming out of such tools weakens the hair shafts in the long run. 

     

     

    Completely avoid using styling tools or use hair tools that have a temperature gauge so that you can lower it. By doing so, you could prevent hair loss in the future. Or go for hairstyles that don’t require frequent use of styling tools for upkeep. 

     

    Is your hair loss already at an extreme stage? Use hair systems for quick recovery.

     

    Other tips for hair loss prevention

     

    By this time, many of you might be thinking that making adjustments to your diet or changing hairstyling habits will completely prevent hair loss. Sadly, that’s true for a very small number of people. There are many other things men need to consider in order to further minimize the chances of hair loss. 

     

    The following are bonus hair loss prevention tips just for you: 

     

    Pat dry, don’t rub: Hair is at its most fragile state when wet. Rubbing it vigorously with a towel can cause major hair damage and aggravate hair fall. Also, it can lead to frizz. Towel drying is beneficial only if done the right way. The trick is to never rub the hair but gently squeeze it.

     

    There is little or no friction when you pat dry your hair with a towel. Minimize the friction to make the hair happier!

    Keep the scalp clean: Dermatologists say, ‘a clean scalp is a better scalp’. You will be inviting agitation of the microbiome balance by not cleaning the scalp properly. It can trigger bacteria growth and inflammation. In other words, it would negatively influence hair follicles. 

     

    Rinse hair with apple cider vinegar to kill hair loss causing bacteria. Just be sure not to over-rinse as it can strip your hair of its natural oils. 

     

    Take cold showers: Not a lot of us take cold showers but did you know that finishing a shower with a cold blast can help you lock moisture in your hair too? Yes, it does! Cold showers tighten the scalp pores and help prevent hair loss. It also decreases redness around the hair follicles, making hair look healthier and stronger.
