Let’s face it—hair loss can be a tough pill to swallow. Whether it’s a slow retreat at the temples or a sudden thinning patch on the crown, noticing changes in your hair can really knock your confidence. But here’s the silver lining: you’re not helpless. Thanks to modern treatments and a bit of know-how, taking control is more achievable than ever.
If you’ve started spotting signs of a receding hairline or thinning, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you move forward.
Step One: Get a Professional Opinion
Before diving into treatments, it’s a good idea to check in with your GP or our online consultation service. While male pattern hair loss is the most common cause, a medical review can rule out other factors like thyroid issues or nutritional deficiencies. It’s also worth keeping track of your hair loss over a couple of weeks—take photos of your hairline or crown every few days in consistent lighting. This can help you monitor changes and spot any patterns.
Step Two: Support Your Body From Within
Healthy hair starts with a healthy body. That means eating a balanced diet packed with lean protein, healthy fats, leafy greens, and vitamins like Biotin (Vitamin B7), Vitamin D, and Zinc. Regular exercise can also boost hair health by improving blood circulation and reducing stress—both of which benefit your scalp and follicles.
Don’t underestimate the impact of mental wellbeing, either. High stress levels can speed up hair shedding, especially if you’re prone to conditions like telogen effluvium. Practising mindfulness, getting quality sleep, and reaching out for support when you’re feeling overwhelmed can all contribute to better overall health—and stronger hair.
Step Three: Explore Proven Hair Loss Treatments
If you’re ready to take action, clinically backed treatments below can deliver real results.
- Finasteride (oral or topical): Blocks DHT, the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles.
- Minoxidil (topical or oral): Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the scalp, encouraging regrowth.
You’re Not Alone
For years, men were told to just "put up with it" when it came to hair loss. But those days are behind us. There’s no reason to sit back and watch your hair disappear—especially when over 90% of men using Finasteride keep or regrow their hair.
