Well-balanced diet is important for your health
Proper nutrition cannot stop hair loss if it was caused, for example, by a genetic predisposition. But when you eat foods rich in protein and unsaturated fats your hair strengthens and grows stronger. Pay attention to your daily intake of vitamins B and C. They can be found in chicken, eggs, pork and greens. The more versatile is your diet, the less problems with your hair and health you will have.

You can purchase a special laser cap and use it any time, no matter where you are. It doesn’t take much time and effort.
Hair transplantation

There are several methods of hair transplantation, so you can choose and find the best option for almost any pattern of baldness. The disadvantage of this method is the high cost of the procedure, which in some cases must be repeated.

Finasteride is a drug that has been used to prevent prostate cancer. But today it is successfully used to treat male pattern of baldness. Attention!
