Hair loss is a part of the cycle of hair growth. Hair falls and grows back, but men experience it more than women and find it just as disheartening as women. Most cases of men suffering hair loss are due to genetic or inherited reasons. Whereas, women experience hair loss over some time and it is all over the scalp and appears more as thinning of hair.

Here are some tips to combat hair loss in men:

• Take care during long travels
  Men who wear caps or helmets regularly could experience hair loss. Wearing a cloth that covers your hair increases the friction and causes hair loss. During long travels in the open, the pollution and weather take a toll on your skin and hair as well. It is necessary to nourish it with natural oils, shampoos, and conditioners.
• Regular hair wash
  Washing your hair every day with mild shampoo removes the grime and dirt and keeps the follicles productive. Regular washing keeps dandruff and infection away, preventing hair loss. Before rinsing your hair with shampoo, massage your scalp with natural oils and plant extracts. Oiling and conditioning should be a part of regular hair care.
• Avoid stress
  Avoid mental stress as it leads to poor health, which also reflects in your skin. Find time and ways to relax and avoid stress. Losing hair may make you feel less confident but it can be taken care of to an extent with changes in your lifestyle.
• Have a balanced diet
  Having regular meals that include vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and proteins are important as the diet plays an important role in maintaining general health. The goodness of the diet reflects on the health of your hair. Do not skip meals or substitute them with junk food. An ideal diet should include whole grains, fatty fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, dairy products, vegetables, and fruits.
• Reduce alcoholic beverages
  Having a drink once in a while or casual drinking is acceptable but when it gets excessive, your body reacts and the skin shows it. However, when the scalp is healthy and nourished, it won’t get affected as much. So, avoid drinking.
• Quit smoking
  Smoking destroys healthy cells and affects the blood circulation. Without active blood circulation, the hair follicles get affected and the hair growth cycle gets slower or becomes inactive.
• Avoid chemicals in hair styling
  Reducing the damage done by hair dyeing and styling with chemicals can help. Frequent styling or coloring damages the hair and results in hair loss. Excess heat or harsh chemicals in the gels and artificial colors cause damage to the hair and scalp.
• Use natural organic products
  Use natural products for your hair. Massage the scalp with coconut oil, aloe vera or almond oil and follow natural hair care treatments at least once a week to prevent hair loss due to pollution and chemicals.
