How to Fight a Receding Hairline and Regrow Hair

A receding hairline and/or thinning hair can be a huge blow to a guy's self-esteem. Hair on top of the head is an important part of a guy's overall look. You comb it a certain way, get it styled just right, and take great steps to keep it clean and well-maintained. But then a funny thing starts to happen: your forehead appears to grow. The hair at your temples starts inching back, and the hair on top of your head may start to thin. Many guys think that receding hairlines and hair loss are one big lost cause and do nothing! But that is the worst thing to do. There are steps that you can take to stop your hair loss and even reverse it. Read on!

Things You'll Need

• Finasteride Prescription
• Rogaine
• Anti-DHT Shampoo
• Laser Comb(optional)
• Action

Instructions

1. Take Action - Bottom line is this: Your receding hairline is not going to improve on its own. You must take action. Unless you are comfortable with your appearance or just don't want to hassle with it, fighting a receding hairline requires effort - requires action!

2. 

   Get a Prescription for Finasteride(****) which is a prescription medication designed to reduce the circulating levels of DHT(Dihydrotestosterone)in the blood, which is the main culprit in genetic hair loss. Finasteride is the gold standard for medical hair loss treatment, one of only two FDA-approved medications proven to regrow hair. You simply take one pill per day, every day, and gauge its effects. Results may take a few months or longer to present.

3. 

   Supplement with Rogaine - Rogaine, aka Minoxidil, is a topical hair loss treatment, the only other FDA-approved hair loss treatment proven to regrow hair - the other being Finasteride. Rogaine comes in liquid or foam, and it is sold in regular or extra-strength versions. Rogaine is easy to apply; you simply saturate the balding or receding area of the scalp with the medication on a daily basis.

4. 

   Overhaul Your Shampoo - Believe it or not, there are certain over-the-counter hair shampoos that have shown promise in the fight against hair loss, including receding hairlines. Nizoral, which is a potent anti-dandruff shampoo, has shown at least a mild anti-DHT effect on the scalp. Nioxin, which makes a series of various shampoos and conditioners, has shown at least some anecdotal evidence that it can help stop hair loss, and even help regrow hair, with regular use. Eliminating as much DHT from your scalp as possible, and insuring that your scalp is as healthy and well-nourished as possible, can only help you in your fight against hair loss and a receding hairline.

5. 

   Comb Your Hair(With a Laser) - A laser comb is one of the newest products on the market designed to treat hair loss. Many hair loss sufferers have reported at least mild to moderate improvements in their hair density and bulk after regular laser comb treatments. Recently there was one particular laser comb that just received FDA approval as a hair loss treatment. It's worth investigating further!

Tips & Warnings

• Hair loss treatments take time to work. Make an effort to give whatever form of treatment you use at least 3-6 months of regular use before determining its effectiveness.

• Although Rogaine was not FDA-approved for treatment of receding hairlines, it has shown positive results in the treatment of receding hairlines for a number of men
