Tackling hair loss

-

cause of thinning crown and receding hairline in men. DHT slows down hair growth rate, attacks hair follicles, shrinks hair follicles, thus causing hair to miniaturis­e and become weak. It will also cause empty follicles if new hair is not grown on time.

Over time, this condition worsens and progresses to late stage male pattern hair fall and the hair growth on crown may be halted.

Although genetic factors cannot be modified, there are other measures that can be taken to slow down the process of losing all scalp hair and to prevent existing hair from falling prematurel­y.

Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as late or inadequate sleeping, leading a stressful life and unhealthy dietary pattern can speed up the balding process.

Therefore, it is advisable to eat a well-balanced diet with quality protein such as those from eggs, fish or white meat, as well as fruits and vegetables and plenty of water.

Avoid oily, spicy, processed food and foods that contain unhealthy fats as these would lead to greasy scalp, thus increasing the risk of follicle congestion and cause your body to be lacking in nutrition. It is also important to sleep before midnight and have eight hours of sleep as our cells regenerate when we are sleeping.
