Our expertise extends to all aspects of style – including how to make the most out of a balding head. While balding may seem like the end of the world to some men, there’s actually some things that you can do to combat baldness. We’d like to share a few of them with you.
Get Some Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an important nutrient that can cause a number of health issues if you’re not getting enough of it. One of these problems it can cause is balding. You can help prevent balding by making sure that there’s vitamin D in your system. Unlike other vitamins, very few foods contain vitamin D; the major natural source of vitamin D is sunlight. If you haven’t been spending much time in the sun, you’ll want to do so to make sure that you have the needed vitamin D to limit balding. Nevertheless, it’s important to not spend so much time you get burnt, especially on your scalp—long story short: get outside, exercise, wear sunscreen, and get some Vitamin D!
Live a More Stress-Free Life
Okay, this one’s easier said than done. However, if you can manage to do this, you’ll give yourself a much better chance of staving off baldness. The reason for this is because stress actually causes balding. Stress will end up flooding your body with the hormone cortisol, causing your other hormone levels to fluctuate in response and making the balding process speed up. If lifestyle changes to limit your stress level isn’t something that you’re capable of doing, we recommend at least spending some time every day meditating to calm and relax yourself.
Use Foams or Lotions on Your Hair
You can also use hair products, such as 18|8’s DS Labs Products, to combat balding. By applying it to your scalp or the area of thinning hair, you can help stop or stall balding. In many cases, it will even regrow some hair too. These products will cost you money and you’ll have to apply them twice-a-day indefinitely, but there’s really no other downsides to trying.
