Never Too Late To Start
For many men, few things in life are as frustrating as a thinning hairline. Fortunately, there are life habits that we can change to ensure that our hair will look it’s best over time.
SMOKING
Because nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, poor blood flow to the scalp can become a serious side-effect of smoking. Poor blood flow can cause hair to thin and appear unhealthy. If you need a good reason to quit smoking, try doing it for fuller and healthier hair.
POOR DIET
A diet lacking in protein may cause the body to ration protein by shutting down hair growth, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. This can happen about two to three months after a drop in protein intake.
ALCOHOL
Alcohol use can effect how the body processes protein, which can lead to serious thinning of your hair. If your alcohol consumption is affecting your health, you might try cutting back or even stopping. You’ll be surprised at the difference in your looks.
GENETICS
Unfortunately, hair loss just comes down to a genetic lottery. If a parent or grandparent dealt with thinning hair or baldness, the condition is often passed from generation to generation.
25% of men begin loosing hair by age 21, with visibly thinning hair by age 35.
About two in three men experience hair loss by age 60, mostly due to male pattern baldness. This type of hair loss, caused by a combo of genes and male sex hormones, usually follows a classic pattern. Hair recedes at the temples, leaving an M-shaped hairline.
