How to Prevent Or Reduce Male Pattern Baldness

Many men start losing hair in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties. Take steps to prevent and reduce hair loss before it's to late.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Be realistic about your current hair loss. Look in the mirror and accurately gauge the amount of loss. Being true to yourself is the most important step. Accept yourself as a person with your current level of hair loss.

2. There are currently two medicines marketed at men for the reduction of male pattern baldness.

3. Rogaine foam or rogaine liquid and its generic equivelants regrows hair. But rogaine is only labeled as effective at reducing hairloss that occurs in a circular pattern on the top of the head, not loss at the front of the scalp.
   
   **** is a prescription medicine marketed to prevent male pattern baldness. It reduces the levels of a type of testosterone responsible for hair loss called DHT.

4. Both medicines lose their benefits (hair regrowth) if you stop taking them.

5. Supplements are often taken by men experiencing hair loss, but with varying results.

6. Don't become fixated or obsessed with your hair loss. If you are truly worried about it, go to a doctor and receive a prescription for ****. If you aren't willing to risk the side effects of medication - which are real - keep a realistic perspective about your hair loss. Adapt your hair style to your current level and type of hair loss and it will be much less apparent.
