Guest Article: As with many other issues affecting health, including those of more severity as well as more cosmetic and aesthetic problems, prevention is entirely the best defense.

However, when it comes to experiencing either premature or even natural hair loss due to an individual’s age, there are both preventative measures as well as treatments available that may go some way to help. With this in mind, continue reading to learn of tried and tested ways to combat and address hair loss in men.

1.    Laser Combs

You have likely never heard of the laser comb product before, but after reading this it is likely, if you are a man who is experiencing either natural or premature hair loss, that you may well be hot-footing it to the store sooner rather than later.

Essentially, a laser comb contains safe measures of low-level lasers which have what is thought to be a type of antioxidant effect on each individual hair follicle. A study in the United States conducted in 2014 concluded that a large proportion of their male test group who used a laser comb  reported a substantial increase in the density of their hair when only using the comb three times each week.

2.    Finasteride Tablets

Another proven to be effective treatment for hair loss in men is that of Finasteride tablets.

Finasteride tablets, available from reputable and renowned pharmacies such as chemistclick.co.uk, work by stimulating the growth of the hair follicles across the entirety of the scalp and help to reduce the amount and volume of hair loss. Furthermore, Finasteride tablets have been proven in clinical trials to treat male pattern baldness in just over 90% of males.

3.    Ban Too-Hot Showers

An entirely more natural way to combat hair loss in men, not to mention a way to simultaneously reduce the cost of your energy bills, is to stop having showers that are boiling hot.

Hot showers can cause serious damage to the scalp, essentially because the hot water tends to strip the scalp of the essential oils which naturally occur and as a result, the scalp will likely become inflamed and overly dry.

4.    Only Use Anti-DHT Shampoos & Conditioners

It is widely known, perhaps not amongst the general public but certainly amongst medical experts and dermatologists, that DHT is essentially the primary reason why males tend to lose their hair.

DHT, which stands for the hormone dihydrotestosterone, especially if you have a genetic predisposition to losing hair, attaches itself to the hair follicles and works to reduce the follicles themselves. Checking that the shampoo and conditioners you are regularly using are entirely DHT free is an incredibly affordable yet entirely effective way of combating hair loss, in both men and women.

5.    Scalp Massages

A more therapeutic and also natural way to try and slow down the hair loss in older males is to book yourself a scalp massage.

Basically, a scalp massage works to reduce hair loss by dilating the individual blood vessels in the scalp which allows more blood to access your head and deliver valuable nutrients to the scalp.
