Wypadanie włosów
Zapobieganie i profilaktyka

Wypadanie włosów jest złożonym problemem o różnorodnej etiologii, w tym łysienia androgenowego, telogenowego oraz łysienia trakcyjnego. Kluczowa jest wczesna diagnostyka prowadzona przez dermatologa lub trychologa, umożliwiająca identyfikację przyczyn i wdrożenie odpowiedniej profilaktyki. Dieta bogata w białko, żelazo, witaminy A, B, C, D, E oraz minerały (cynk, selen) i kwasy omega-3 odgrywa istotną rolę w utrzymaniu zdrowia mieszków włosowych. Suplementacja biotyną, witaminą D oraz ekstraktem z Serenoa repens (saw palmetto) może wspomagać leczenie, zwłaszcza w przypadku niedoborów. Pielęgnacja włosów powinna obejmować stosowanie łagodnych szamponów bez siarczanów, unikanie agresywnych zabiegów fryzjerskich i ciasnych fryzur, które mogą prowadzić do łysienia trakcyjnego. Dodatkowo, masaż skóry głowy poprawia mikrokrążenie, co sprzyja wzrostowi włosów.

Wypadanie włosów – profilaktyka i zapobieganie

Wypadanie włosów to powszechny problem, który dotyka miliony osób na całym świecie. Chociaż nie wszystkim typom łysienia można zapobiec, istnieją skuteczne metody profilaktyczne, które mogą pomóc utrzymać zdrowie włosów i zminimalizować ich utratę. Wczesna interwencja ma kluczowe znaczenie – im szybciej rozpoczniemy działania profilaktyczne, tym większe szanse na skuteczne zatrzymanie procesu wypadania włosów12.

Typy wypadania włosów a możliwości zapobiegania

Ważne jest, aby zrozumieć, że nie wszystkim typom łysienia można skutecznie zapobiec. Łysienie androgenowe (androgenetic alopecia), występujące zarówno u mężczyzn, jak i kobiet, ma podłoże genetyczne i trudno mu zapobiec bez interwencji farmakologicznej34. Natomiast w przypadku wypadania włosów spowodowanego czynnikami takimi jak leki, stres, niedobory białka czy żelaza, niewłaściwa pielęgnacja, możliwe jest podjęcie działań profilaktycznych5.

Rozpoznanie przyczyny jest pierwszym krokiem do skutecznej profilaktyki, ponieważ determinuje, które metody leczenia będą najbardziej korzystne6. Diagnostyka powinna być przeprowadzona przez specjalistę – dermatologa lub trychologa, którzy są w stanie określić przyczynę wypadania włosów i zalecić odpowiednie działania7.

Dieta i suplementacja w profilaktyce wypadania włosów

Odpowiednia dieta odgrywa kluczową rolę w utrzymaniu zdrowych włosów i zapobieganiu ich wypadaniu. Niedobory pokarmowe mogą prowadzić do osłabienia mieszków włosowych i nasilenia utraty włosów89.

Kluczowe składniki odżywcze

Dieta bogata w niezbędne składniki odżywcze pomaga wzmocnić włosy i zapobiegać ich wypadaniu. Szczególnie istotne są:

  • Białko – włosy zbudowane są głównie z keratyny, będącej białkiem1011
  • Żelazo – niedobór żelaza jest częstą przyczyną wypadania włosów, szczególnie u kobiet1213
  • Witaminy A, B, C, D i E – witaminy te są niezbędne do prawidłowego wzrostu włosów i zdrowia skóry głowy14
  • Minerały – cynk i selen odgrywają ważną rolę w zdrowiu mieszków włosowych15
  • Kwasy omega-3 – pomagają utrzymać nawilżenie skóry głowy i zmniejszać stan zapalny16

Badania wykazały, że dieta śródziemnomorska, bogata w surowe warzywa i świeże zioła, może zmniejszyć ryzyko łysienia androgenowego lub spowolnić jego wystąpienie17. Ponadto, należy unikać diet restrykcyjnych i głodówek, które mogą prowadzić do znacznej utraty włosów18.

Suplementy wspierające wzrost włosów

Suplementacja może być pomocna w przypadku niedoborów pokarmowych, które przyczyniają się do wypadania włosów. Do najczęściej zalecanych suplementów należą:

  • Biotyna (witamina B7) – uczestniczy w produkcji kwasów tłuszczowych w organizmie, co jest istotne dla cyklu życia włosa19
  • Witamina D – niedobór witaminy D może być związany z łysieniem, a jej suplementacja może pomóc w odrastaniu włosów2021
  • Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens)ekstrakt z palmy sabalowej hamuje enzym 5-alfa-reduktazę, zapobiegając przekształcaniu testosteronu w dihydrotestosteron (DHT), hormon odpowiedzialny za androgenowe łysienie2223

Preparaty takie jak Nutrafol i Viviscal są zalecane przez niektórych dermatologów jako suplementy wspierające zdrowie włosów2425. Należy jednak pamiętać, że przed rozpoczęciem suplementacji warto skonsultować się z lekarzem, gdyż nadmiar niektórych składników odżywczych może również prowadzić do wypadania włosów26.

Pielęgnacja włosów i skóry głowy

Odpowiednia pielęgnacja włosów i skóry głowy ma kluczowe znaczenie w zapobieganiu wypadaniu włosów. Zdrowa skóra głowy stanowi podstawę dla mocnych, zdrowych włosów27.

Właściwe techniki mycia i stylizacji

Delikatna pielęgnacja włosów może zapobiec uszkodzeniom, które mogą prowadzić do ich wypadania:

  • Używaj delikatnych szamponów bez siarczanów, które nie wysuszają skóry głowy28
  • Stosuj balsamy nawilżające po każdym myciu, aby zabezpieczyć włosy przed uszkodzeniami29
  • Unikaj agresywnych zabiegów, takich jak prostowanie, lokówki, zabiegi z gorącym olejem i trwałe ondulacje30
  • Delikatnie rozczesuj i szczotkuj włosy, używając grzebienia o szerokich zębach, szczególnie gdy włosy są mokre31
  • Ogranicz stosowanie ostrych gumek, spinek i warkocza, które mogą powodować napięcie włosów3233

Szczególnie istotne jest unikanie ciasno zaplecionych fryzur, które mogą prowadzić do łysienia trakcyjnego (traction alopecia). Długotrwałe noszenie takich fryzur może spowodować trwałą utratę włosów34.

Ochrona włosów przed czynnikami zewnętrznymi

Włosy narażone na szkodliwe czynniki zewnętrzne mogą łatwiej ulegać uszkodzeniom i wypadaniu:

  • Chroń włosy przed promieniowaniem UV i innymi źródłami światła ultrafioletowego35
  • Stosuj olej kokosowy, który może chronić włosy przed uszkodzeniami wywołanymi przez promieniowanie UV36
  • Używaj olejku z oliwek do głębokiego nawilżania włosów, co zapobiega ich przesuszeniu i łamliwości37
  • Korzystaj z nawilżacza powietrza, aby zapobiegać niskiemu nawilżeniu powietrza w pomieszczeniach, szczególnie zimą38

Regularny masaż skóry głowy może również pomóc w stymulowaniu krążenia krwi, co wspiera wzrost włosów. Badanie przeprowadzone na 9 zdrowych mężczyznach wykazało, że codzienny 4-minutowy masaż skóry głowy stymulował wzrost włosów39.

Farmakologiczne metody zapobiegania wypadaniu włosów

W przypadku gdy zmiany stylu życia i naturalne metody są niewystarczające, można rozważyć farmakologiczne metody zapobiegania wypadaniu włosów. Obecnie istnieją dwa leki zatwierdzone przez FDA, które skutecznie zapobiegają wypadaniu włosów40.

Minoksydyl

Minoksydyl (Rogaine) to lek dostępny bez recepty, który można stosować miejscowo na skórę głowy. Mechanizm jego działania obejmuje:

  • Stymulację mieszków włosowych i pobudzanie wzrostu włosów41
  • Zwiększenie przepływu krwi do skóry głowy i mieszków włosowych42
  • Wydłużenie fazy anagenu (wzrostu) cyklu włosa43

Minoksydyl jest dostępny w postaci roztworu o stężeniu 2% i 5% oraz pianki 5%. Skuteczność minoksydylu została potwierdzona w licznych badaniach – pomaga spowolnić lub zatrzymać wypadanie włosów u czterech na pięć osób, a u niektórych pacjentów może nawet stymulować odrastanie nowych włosów4445.

Należy jednak pamiętać, że minoksydyl nie jest lekarstwem na łysienie – jego główne korzyści to zatrzymanie lub spowolnienie wypadania włosów. Ponadto, efekty zanikają po zaprzestaniu stosowania leku, dlatego terapia musi być kontynuowana w sposób ciągły4647.

Finasteryd

Finasteryd (Propecia) to lek dostępny na receptę, pierwotnie stosowany w leczeniu przerostu prostaty. W kontekście zapobiegania wypadaniu włosów:

  • Blokuje enzym 5-alfa-reduktazę, który przekształca testosteron w dihydrotestosteron (DHT)4849
  • Zmniejsza poziom DHT w skórze głowy o 64% i w surowicy o 68%50
  • Spowalnia proces wypadania włosów i stymuluje częściowy odrost51

Finasteryd jest szczególnie skuteczny w leczeniu łysienia androgenowego u mężczyzn. Dawka 1 mg dziennie jest zalecana do leczenia łysienia typu męskiego52. Należy jednak pamiętać, że lek może być mniej skuteczny u mężczyzn powyżej 60. roku życia53.

Podobnie jak w przypadku minoksydylu, leczenie finasterydem musi być kontynuowane bezterminowo, ponieważ korzyści nie zostaną utrzymane po zaprzestaniu terapii54.

Inne farmakologiczne metody zapobiegania

Oprócz minoksydylu i finasterydu, istnieją również inne metody farmakologiczne stosowane w zapobieganiu wypadaniu włosów:

  • Antyandrogeny – leki takie jak spironolakton mogą być stosowane u kobiet z łysieniem spowodowanym zaburzeniami hormonalnymi5556
  • Szampony z ketokonazolem – mogą zwiększać odsetek włosów w fazie anagenu (wzrostu), co prowadzi do zmniejszenia wypadania włosów57
  • Doustny minoksydyl – w niskich dawkach jest coraz częściej przepisywany przez dermatologów specjalizujących się w leczeniu łysienia58
  • Kortykosteroidy – stosowane u osób z łysieniem plackowatym, liszajem płaskim mieszkowym i toczniem rumieniowatym krążkowym59

Warto zauważyć, że wiele typów łysienia jest leczonych kombinacją leków dla uzyskania optymalnych wyników60.

Zaawansowane metody zapobiegania wypadaniu włosów

Dla osób, u których tradycyjne metody profilaktyki nie przynoszą oczekiwanych rezultatów, dostępne są bardziej zaawansowane procedury medyczne61.

Terapie światłem i laserem

Terapia światłem o niskim natężeniu (LLLT – Low-Level Laser Therapy), znana również jako terapia czerwonym światłem, wykorzystuje światło czerwone o niskiej długości fali do stymulacji wzrostu komórek62:

  • FDA zatwierdziła urządzenia do terapii laserem o niskim natężeniu jako leczenie dziedzicznego wypadania włosów u mężczyzn i kobiet63
  • Niewielkie badania wykazały poprawę gęstości włosów po zastosowaniu tej terapii64
  • Urządzenia takie jak LaserComb Hairmax zostały zatwierdzone przez FDA i zaleca się stosowanie ich 3 razy dziennie65

Terapia ta działa poprzez stymulację wzrostu włosów, zwiększając mikrokrążenie do mieszków włosowych66. Warto jednak zauważyć, że potrzebne są dalsze badania, aby wykazać długoterminowe efekty tej metody67.

Terapie z wykorzystaniem osocza bogatopłytkowego

Iniekcje osocza bogatopłytkowego (PRP – Platelet-Rich Plasma) to metoda, która wykorzystuje własne płytki krwi pacjenta do stymulacji wzrostu włosów68:

  • Procedura polega na pobraniu krwi pacjenta, oddzieleniu z niej osocza bogatego w płytki krwi, a następnie wstrzyknięciu go w skórę głowy69
  • Iniekcje PRP mogą pomóc stymulować wzrost w obszarach już dotkniętych utratą włosów70
  • Dla najlepszych rezultatów zaleca się wykonanie zabiegu raz w miesiącu przez cztery miesiące na początku, a następnie co kwartał lub dwa razy w roku71

Terapia PRP jest szczególnie skuteczna w połączeniu z innymi metodami leczenia, takimi jak mikronakłuwanie czy leki przeciw wypadaniu włosów72.

Mikronakłuwanie

Mikronakłuwanie (dermarolling) to proces tworzenia mikropunkcji w skórze głowy w celu wywołania reakcji gojenia ran za pomocą maleńkich mikroigieł73:

  • Zabieg stymuluje produkcję kolagenu i czynników wzrostu, które mogą poprawić wzrost włosów74
  • Badania wykazały, że połączenie mikronakłuwania z minoksydylem daje lepsze wyniki niż stosowanie samego minoksydylu w promowaniu wzrostu włosów u mężczyzn z łysieniem75
  • Zabieg pomaga również w lepszym wchłanianiu substancji aktywnych, takich jak minoksydyl76

Mikronakłuwanie jest zazwyczaj wykonywane raz w tygodniu lub co dwa tygodnie, w zależności od indywidualnych potrzeb77.

Czynniki stylu życia wpływające na wypadanie włosów

Styl życia może mieć znaczący wpływ na zdrowie włosów. Modyfikacja niektórych codziennych nawyków może pomóc w zapobieganiu wypadaniu włosów78.

Stres i jego wpływ na wypadanie włosów

Przewlekły stres może prowadzić do różnych typów wypadania włosów, w tym telogenowego wypadania włosów (telogen effluvium)79:

  • Stres może powodować zatrzymanie wzrostu włosów i nadmierne ich wypadanie80
  • Może również wywoływać reakcję autoimmunologiczną, w której układ odpornościowy atakuje mieszki włosowe81
  • Techniki redukcji stresu, takie jak medytacja, joga i regularne ćwiczenia, mogą pomóc w zapobieganiu wypadaniu włosów związanemu ze stresem8283

Znalezienie skutecznych sposobów radzenia sobie ze stresem jest bardzo ważne, ponieważ długotrwały stres może negatywnie wpływać na ogólny stan zdrowia, w tym na kondycję włosów84.

Wpływ używek i niezdrowych nawyków

Niektóre używki i niezdrowe nawyki mogą przyczyniać się do wypadania włosów85:

  • Palenie tytoniu – badania wskazują na związek między paleniem a łysieniem u mężczyzn8687
  • Nadmierne spożycie alkoholu – może przyczyniać się do utraty włosów poprzez zmniejszenie wchłaniania niezbędnych składników odżywczych88
  • Brak aktywności fizycznej – regularne ćwiczenia poprawiają krążenie, co może sprzyjać lepszemu wzrostowi włosów89
  • Odwodnienie – 25% mieszków włosowych składa się z wody i stają się słabsze, gdy są odwodnione90

Ograniczenie palenia i spożycia alkoholu, regularne ćwiczenia fizyczne oraz odpowiednie nawodnienie organizmu mogą przyczynić się do poprawy zdrowia włosów9192.

Specjalistyczne produkty do zapobiegania wypadaniu włosów

Na rynku dostępnych jest wiele specjalistycznych produktów, które mogą pomóc w zapobieganiu wypadaniu włosów93.

Szampony i odżywki przeciw wypadaniu włosów

Specjalistyczne szampony i odżywki mogą pomóc w zapobieganiu wypadaniu włosów poprzez wzmocnienie mieszków włosowych i poprawę kondycji skóry głowy94:

  • Szampony zawierające ketokonazol mogą zwiększać proporcję włosów w fazie wzrostu95
  • Produkty zawierające ekstrakty z palmy sabalowej (saw palmetto) mogą blokować DHT, hormon związany z łysieniem androgenowym96
  • Szampony zawierające kofeinę mogą zapobiegać wypadaniu włosów równie skutecznie jak minoksydyl97
  • Produkty z przeciwutleniaczami mogą zmniejszyć wypadanie włosów i poprawić zdrowie skóry głowy98

Przykładem specjalistycznego szamponu jest SIMONE TRICHOLOGY PREVENTION HAIR LOSS SHAMPOO, który wzmacnia mieszki włosowe, zmniejsza wypadanie włosów i stymuluje wzrost włosów99.

Serum i preparaty miejscowe

Serum i preparaty miejscowe mogą dostarczać aktywne składniki bezpośrednio do skóry głowy i mieszków włosowych100:

  • HAIR LOSS PREVENTION Vial – zawiera ekstrakt z Serenoa Repens i kwas oleanolowy, które hamują enzym 5-reduktazę odpowiedzialny za miniaturyzację mieszków włosowych101
  • HAIR LOSS PREVENTION Preshampoo – równoważy skórę głowy, chroniąc ją przed stresem oksydacyjnym dzięki specjalnej mieszance olejków eterycznych102
  • Energizing Hair Loss prevention Serum – reaktywuje komórki macierzyste mieszka włosowego, stymuluje wzrost i spowalnia wypadanie włosów103

Preparaty te często zawierają składniki takie jak ekstrakt z awokado, który przeciwdziała aktywności enzymu 5-alfa-reduktazy, oraz ekstrakty z komórek macierzystych jabłka i hydrolizowane białka drożdży, które promują fazę anagenu włosa104.

Składnik aktywny Działanie Zastosowanie
Ekstrakt z Serenoa Repens (palma sabalowa) Hamuje enzym 5-alfa-reduktazę, zapobiega przekształcaniu testosteronu w DHT Serum, szampony, suplementy doustne
Kwas oleanolowy Hamuje enzym 5-alfa-reduktazę, zmniejsza produkcję DHT Serum, koncentraty
Ekstrakt z awokado Przeciwdziała aktywności enzymu 5-alfa-reduktazy Preparaty przed szamponem, odżywki
Ekstrakty z komórek macierzystych jabłka Promuje fazę anagenu włosa (fazę wzrostu) Serum, preparaty przed szamponem
Hydrolizowane białka drożdży Wspiera fazę anagenu włosa Serum, odżywki
Cynamon Promuje wzrost włosów i leczy wypadanie włosów przez zwiększenie krążenia krwi w skórze głowy Serum, szampony
Apigenina Promuje mikrokrążenie krwi w skórze głowy, zwiększa dostarczanie składników odżywczych Serum, koncentraty
Biotynyl Poprawia zakotwiczenie włosa w mieszku i wzmacnia łodygę włosa u nasady Serum, suplementy

Zapobieganie wypadaniu włosów w szczególnych przypadkach

Niektóre szczególne sytuacje wymagają specyficznego podejścia do zapobiegania wypadaniu włosów105.

Wypadanie włosów u kobiet

Wypadanie włosów u kobiet może być spowodowane różnymi czynnikami, w tym zmianami hormonalnymi, ciążą i menopauzą106:

  • Około jednej trzeciej kobiet doświadcza wypadania włosów w pewnym momencie życia, a wśród kobiet po menopauzie nawet dwie trzecie cierpią z powodu przerzedzenia włosów lub łysych plam107
  • W przypadku kobiet z androgenowym łysieniem można zastosować minoksydyl miejscowo108
  • Antyandrogeny, takie jak spironolakton, mogą pomóc w przypadku łysienia związanego z zaburzeniami hormonalnymi109
  • U kobiet z PCOS (zespołem policystycznych jajników) można zastosować leki przeciwandrogenowe, takie jak spironolakton i octan cyproteronu110

Ważne jest, aby skonsultować się z lekarzem przed rozpoczęciem jakiejkolwiek formy leczenia wypadania włosów, szczególnie jeśli kobieta jest w ciąży, planuje ciążę lub przechodzi menopauzę111.

Wypadanie włosów indukowane chemioterapią

Chemioterapia często powoduje wypadanie włosów, co może być trudnym doświadczeniem dla pacjentów onkologicznych112:

  • Miliony nowych pacjentów z nowotworem otrzymują chemioterapię każdego roku, a około 65% z nich doświadcza łysienia wywołanego chemioterapią (CIA – Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia)113
  • Jedyną metodą zatwierdzoną przez FDA do zapobiegania CIA jest chłodzenie skóry głowy114115
  • Chłodzenie skóry głowy (cold cap) może zmniejszyć ilość utraty włosów, ale nie działa u wszystkich pacjentów116
  • Inne metody stymulowania odrastania włosów po chemioterapii obejmują minoksydyl miejscowy i doustny, terapię fotobiomodulacyjną (PBMT) i iniekcje osocza bogatopłytkowego (PRP)117

W większości przypadków utrata włosów związana z leczeniem onkologicznym jest tymczasowa, a włosy często zaczynają odrastać po zakończeniu leczenia118.

Znaczenie wczesnej interwencji i konsultacji medycznych

Wczesna interwencja ma kluczowe znaczenie w zapobieganiu wypadaniu włosów. Im wcześniej podejmie się działania, tym większe szanse na skuteczne zatrzymanie procesu łysienia119.

Kiedy skonsultować się z lekarzem

Konsultacja z lekarzem jest zalecana w następujących sytuacjach120:

  • Gdy zauważasz nagłe lub nadmierne wypadanie włosów121
  • Gdy obserwujesz stopniowe przerzedzenie włosów na czubku głowy, poszerzenie przedziałka, pojawienie się łysych plam na skórze głowy lub zmniejszenie ogólnej gęstości włosów122
  • Jeśli masz podejrzenie, że wypadanie włosów może być związane z przyjmowanymi lekami123
  • Jeśli wypadanie włosów powoduje stres emocjonalny i chciałbyś poznać dostępne opcje leczenia124

Dermatolog jest lekarzem przeszkolonym w diagnozowaniu schorzeń, które wpływają na skórę, włosy i paznokcie. Może dotrzeć do przyczyny problemu i w wielu przypadkach skutecznie leczyć wypadanie włosów125.

Znaczenie kompleksowego podejścia

Skuteczne zapobieganie wypadaniu włosów wymaga kompleksowego podejścia, które uwzględnia różne aspekty zdrowia i stylu życia126:

  • Zidentyfikowanie przyczyny wypadania włosów jest kluczowe dla wyboru najbardziej skutecznych strategii zapobiegania i leczenia127
  • Łączenie różnych metod leczenia może przynieść lepsze rezultaty niż stosowanie pojedynczej terapii128
  • Regularne badania kontrolne u specjalisty pozwalają monitorować efekty leczenia i dostosowywać terapię w miarę potrzeb129

Warto pamiętać, że zapobieganie wypadaniu włosów jest procesem ciągłym, a wprowadzenie zdrowych zmian w stylu życia może wspierać wzrost włosów i utrzymać ich dobry wygląd130.

Podsumowanie skutecznej profilaktyki wypadania włosów

Zapobieganie wypadaniu włosów wymaga wieloaspektowego podejścia, które uwzględnia zarówno czynniki wewnętrzne, jak i zewnętrzne wpływające na zdrowie włosów131.

Kluczowe elementy skutecznej profilaktyki wypadania włosów obejmują:

  • Zbilansowaną dietę bogatą w białko, żelazo, witaminy i minerały132133
  • Właściwą pielęgnację włosów i skóry głowy, unikanie agresywnych zabiegów i ciasnych fryzur134
  • Redukcję stresu poprzez medytację, jogę lub inne techniki relaksacyjne135
  • Unikanie palenia i nadmiernego spożycia alkoholu136
  • Regularne ćwiczenia fizyczne, które poprawiają krążenie krwi w skórze głowy137
  • Odpowiednie nawilżenie organizmu poprzez regularne picie wody138
  • W przypadku łysienia androgenowego – stosowanie zatwierdzonych przez FDA leków, takich jak minoksydyl i finasteryd139
  • Wczesną interwencję – im wcześniej rozpocznie się działania, tym większe szanse na zatrzymanie procesu łysienia140

Ważne jest, aby pamiętać, że nie wszystkim typom łysienia można skutecznie zapobiec, szczególnie tym o podłożu genetycznym. Jednak nawet w przypadku łysienia androgenowego wczesna interwencja medyczna może znacząco spowolnić proces wypadania włosów i w niektórych przypadkach stymulować odrastanie włosów141.

Najlepszym podejściem jest konsultacja z dermatologiem lub trychologiem, który może zdiagnozować przyczynę wypadania włosów i zalecić najbardziej odpowiednie metody profilaktyki i leczenia dostosowane do indywidualnych potrzeb pacjenta142.

    In this study, the dermarolling + minoxidil treated group was statistically superior to the minoxidil only treated group in promoting hair growth in men with balding patterns, for all primary efficacy measures of hair growth. […] Natural DHT blockers are also options, although obviously the results arent going to be nearly as strong as what is mentioned above. […] RU58841 is a strong DHT blocker (it has been shown to inhibit around 70% of DHT binding to the androgen receptor), but not in the way that Finasteride or Dutasteride work. […] Combining something like finasteride or dutasteride which attacks 5-alpha reductase converting T to DHT with RU58841 which stops ~70% of DHT binding to the androgen receptor, and youd now be attacking hair loss from 2 vectors: T to DHT conversion, as well as at a receptor level. […] In particular, if you want to save your hair, its going to be the big 4: finasteride (or Dutasteride), Minoxidil, Ketoconazole shampoo and derma-rolling roughly once a week to every 2 weeks.

    Stop wearing your hair tightly pulled back in a bun, ponytail, pigtails, cornrows, or braids. Frequently wearing a hairstyle that pulls on your hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. In time, anything that pulls on your hair can cause permanent hair loss. […] If you smoke, stop. Smoking causes inflammation throughout the body, which can worsen hair loss. […] Eat healthy. If you’re not getting enough of some nutrients, such as iron or protein, this can lead to hair loss. Eating too few calories every day can also cause significant hair loss. […] Before taking a supplement to grow your hair, find out whether you’re getting enough of certain vitamins or minerals. A blood test can tell you whether you’re not getting enough of certain nutrients. It’s important to understand that the supplements you see advertised for hair growth are not regulated. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they are sold. That responsibility lies with the company manufacturing the product. If you decide to try supplements, understand that they can do more harm than good. Getting too much of certain nutrients (including selenium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E) has been linked to hair loss.
