HEREDITARY HAIR LOSS      ABOUT REGAINE ^®

Whether you suffer from hair loss or just want to stop the daily wear and tear on it, the way you care for your hair or have it cut can have a drastic effect on how it looks and how it lasts.

While a good cut can't add hair or necessarily stop you losing any, it can help hide the signs of hair loss and make the most of the hair you have.

Some men who are balding prefer just to cut their hair very short, almost shaved, which tends to detract from the receding hairline.

A layered cut can make hair look thicker.

Short hair often appears to give hair more volume than long hair, which can weigh down, exposing the scalp.

Your hairdresser will also be able to advise you on the best products to use on your particular type of hair.

Shampoos remove the everyday dirt and grime as well as a build-up of natural oils. Choose a gentle one that suits your hair type.

Conditioner coats the hair shaft to keep it smooth. If you use one, make sure it matches your hair type and that you rinse it out thoroughly - otherwise it can weigh your hair down and make it look dull.

If you use hair mousse or gel, it's important to choose one that's best for your hair.

Although many hair colorants prevent hair from drying out, colouring too often can dry out your hair. Also, choose a colour that's closer to your scalp colour, so the contrast between your hair and scalp is less noticeable.

Perming solutions can contain harsh ingredients, which damage the hair and even the scalp. So check with your stylist and ask for a gentle one.

Use a low heat when blow drying your hair to avoid drying it out.

In short, use good quality products, and do everything you can to keep your hair healthy.
