How to Slow Down Your Receding Hairline

Introduction

So you have a receding hairline. Good chance it is the result of male pattern baldness caused by the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). The main things you want to do is slow it down, stop the loss of your hair and then re-grow your lost hair.

So how do you slow down your receding hairline? There are several ways to do it, but the first thing to do is determine what is causing your hair loss. As I mentioned earlier, 95% of men with a receding hairline can usually blame DHT for their loss.

Cause Of Receding Hairline

Determining the cause of your hair loss can be very simple. If your family, on either your mothers or fathers side, have a history of hair loss then the chances are good you are losing your hair from male pattern baldness caused by DHT.

If your family has no history of hair loss, then it would be best to visit a dermatologist to determine the exact cause of your receding hairline. There could be many reasons for your loss if it is not from DHT any where from stress to an improper diet or even the medicine you are taking.

Stopping Your Receding Hairline

Once you have established the cause of your receding hairline then you can take action to stop it. This is easily done if the loss is not due to DHT. Just eliminate the cause such as eliminating the cause of the stress, change or eliminate your medicine or even improve your diet.

If your receding hairline is caused by DHT then it becomes a little more difficult. But fortunately there are two Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs that can stop a receding hairline. They are Minoxidil and Finasteride.

Minoxidil is a solution you rub on your scalp in the area where you are losing your hair. While Finasteride is a pill you take daily.

To help improve the effects of either Minoxidil or Finasteride, it has been found that taking an herbal supplement, such as Saw Palmetto, can help stop your receding hairline by stopping the production of DHT.

Conclusion

To effectively stop your loss of hair at the hairline you need to remove the cause of your hair loss. This may mean to remove the cause of your stress or even change medicine. But for the majority of men, it will mean to eliminate the production of the hormone DHT by use of Minoxidil or Finasteride.

THE 8 VITAMINS FOR HAIR LOSS

1. Biotin (Vitamin-H)

The most popular vitamin that aids in hair loss is biotin or vitamin H. Biotin is part of the B complex family and has been proven to prevent hair loss. Another benefit of biotin is that it prevents gray hairs. This vitamin is in milk, yeast and egg yolks.  

2. Iron

Lack of iron in the body not only causes to anemia, but it also contributes to hair loss. People who have iron deficiency and hair loss should increase their iron intake. This should make a significant change in hair growth.

3. Vitamin-B

We’ve seen it as ingredients of shampoos and conditions, the vitamin B complex family also aids in hair loss as it strengthens hair follicles - making it less prone to damage and hair loss. Eating food with vitamin B content will increase hair growth and reduce hair loss.

4. Zinc

An often taken for granted supplement, Zinc - which is abundant in red meat - can reverse any scalp problems once brought back in your diet. Another benefit of increased Zinc intake (for those who suffer Zinc deficiency), is it boosts your sex life. It has also been found by researchers to have that effect. So it guarantees not only beautiful hair but a wonderful time in bed.

5. Anti-Oxidants

Anti-oxidants, more popularly known as Vitamin A, C and E are commonly taken to have beautiful skin. But do you know that aside from giving you clear skin, it prevents hair loss and boosts further hair growth by flushing out the toxins in the body and boosting your immune system. Truly, these anti-oxidants are more than we think they are.

6. Vitamin-A

Though part of the anti-oxidants group, vitamin A - when taken excessively leads to hair loss and since it is non-water soluble, it can be fatal to certain consumers. So it is advisable to check-in with your dietician or nutritionist to know what is too much.
 

7. Protein

Commonly found in meat and poultry, Protein is yet another vital component of the hair. Actually, it composes 90% of the hair’s structure. Along with B complex vitamins, protein is also a common ingredient in shampoos, conditioners and hair treatments. It is also one of the thing that make hair strong and resistant against damage.

8. Pantothenic Acid

A mineral called Pantothenic Acid is vital to the health of the scalp. It is also one of the main component of the cells in the body and aids in the conversion of food to energy. Hair follicle starts to fall upon lack of this nutrient in our body – it also results in constipation and other ailments.

Beautiful hair isn’t just skin deep. It goes beyond that. So if you are suffering from hair loss or any hair or scalp problem, try to look in your diet. You may be eating too much or too little of what is vital for your body systems to function correctly. A person may splurge on all those expensive anti-hair loss shampoos, conditioners and hair loss treatments but without proper diet and nutrition all those will go to waste.
