Tips to combat hair loss for men

Hair loss is a common problem for men. More than 80% of men experience significant hair loss during their lifetime. It can have a big impact on your self-confidence, especially if you notice that your hair is becoming thinner or that you have a receding hairline. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth without the need for a hair transplant or surgery.

In this blog you can read more about the causes of hair loss, including genetic factors and hair loss due to stress. You will also discover which shampoo and other products you can use against hair loss and what you can do yourself to protect and strengthen your hair.

Many men wonder: why am I going bald? The most common reason is hereditary predisposition. With male hair loss, the hair follicles are sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), resulting in a shortened hair growth cycle. This process causes thinning hair and can eventually result in baldness.

Hair loss can occur in different ways. These are the most common causes. 

The most common form of hair loss in men is male pattern baldness, also called androgenetic alopecia. This form of hair loss is caused by genetic factors. Hereditary hair loss usually starts with a receding hairline and can eventually lead to thinning hair on the hair top.

Prolonged stress is a common cause of hair loss. Stress disrupts the natural hair growth cycle, causing more hair to enter the resting phase. This can gradually reduce the density of your hair.

An unhealthy lifestyle can contribute to hair loss. You can be deficient in essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc and biotin, which causes hair follicles to weaken. Lack of sleep and smoking also have a negative impact on the health of your hair. Lack of sleep can slow down hair growth due to hormonal imbalances, while smoking reduces blood circulation, causing your hair follicles to receive less oxygen and nutrients.

Hormonal fluctuations, thyroid disorders and certain medications can also lead to hair loss. We advise to consult a doctor in such cases.

Losing hair is a natural process. On average, a man loses between 50 and 100 hairs every day. This is completely normal and part of the hair growth cycle. Hair also grows back. But if you notice that your hair is becoming thinner or that you are developing bald spots, it is wise to take action.

If you notice that your hair is thinning, you can take several steps to prevent further hair loss and stimulate your hair growth.

Choose a product that has been specially developed to stimulate hair growth, such as the 1922 by J.M. Keune Fortifying Shampoo from Keune. This shampoo thoroughly cleanses your scalp and contains ingredients such as red ginseng and creatine, which support hair growth and strengthen your hair.

Scalp massages stimulate blood circulation and ensure that active ingredients are better absorbed. For example, use the 1922 by J.M. Keune Fortifying Lotion. The ingredient biotin strengthens the structure of your hair and the eucalyptus and caffeine give your hair a boost from the root - with the end goal: fuller and thicker hair.

Enriched with creatine, it not only adds texture to your hair, but also strengthens the hair structure. This spray is especially suitable for fine or thinning hair and helps to make your hair look fuller and healthier.

Follow a healthy diet, rich in vitamins and minerals such as zinc and biotin. Combine this with getting enough sleep and reducing stress to improve your overall health – and that of your hair.

Combating hair loss takes time. Consistent use of the right products, combined with a healthy lifestyle, can help you improve your hair density.

Besides using a good shampoo against hair loss, there are other ways to keep your hair healthy.

• Avoid excessive heat: use a hair dryer on a low temperature to avoid damage.

• Protect your hair: wear a hat or cap to protect your hair from the sun and other external factors.

• Hydrate your scalp: use a conditioner to keep your scalp healthy.

Hair loss is a concern for many men, but fortunately there are several ways to combat it and stimulate hair growth. By using the right products, such as shampoos in sprays that promote hair growth and strengthen the hair structure, you can significantly improve the health of your hair. 

Unfortunately hair loss is usually caused by internal factors such as genetics, hormones, stress or health problems. Although products such as shampoos cannot completely stop hair loss, they can help create a healthy scalp – an important foundation for strong and healthy hair growth.
