Many people who are interested in San Francisco men's hair loss treatment are also curious about daily habits they can cultivate to slow down the recession of their hairline.
If you're one of them, keep reading to learn about several hairline-preserving practices, you can start partaking in.
Certain hairstyles can cause stress on the hairline, as pointed out by the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD). The AAD lists cornrows, dreadlocks, buns, ponytails, and tight braids as examples of potentially hairline-damaging hairstyles.
If you have one of these hairstyles and are noticing recession, consider switching to a looser style.
One recommendation we give at our San Jose area hairline surgery clinic is to avoid rubbing your scalp too much. Excessive brushing and scratching can harm your hair follicles, in turn inhibiting hair growth.
If itchiness is a problem, consider using an anti-dandruff shampoo that contains pyrithione zinc.
Minoxidil is a hair loss treatment that is applied to the scalp, usually two times a day. Distributed under the brand name Rogaine, it stops hair loss and, in some cases, actually sparks new hair growth. The only downside is that if you stop using minoxidil, its results will cease.
However, many people have found success with this treatment. To learn more about the minoxidil option, check out this article from Hair World Mag, which notes that results will vary from person to person but gives an overall positive review of Rogaine.
Hair loss has been linked to stress, so another way to protect your hairline is to take part in stress-relieving activities. Whether it's exercise, reading a book, watching a movie, or enjoying quality time with family or friends, find something that makes you happy and prioritize doing it each day.
If you do opt for a hair transplant surgery, exercise and being happy will help your healing process as well. Taking a hike can be supportive in the long run with men's hair loss treatment in San Jose.
Diet plays a role in hair preservation as well. It's essential to ingest the vitamins and minerals your body needs to produce healthy hair.
According to Healthline, your hair's health relies in part on "essential fatty acids," which you can obtain through walnuts, almonds, flaxseed oil, and fatty fish such as mackerel, tuna, and salmon.
Another key element for healthy hair is protein. Good sources of protein include eggs and chicken.
Healthline also recommends taking a multivitamin to cover your bases when it comes to trace minerals like "iron, magnesium, zinc, and biotin."
