How to slow male adult hair loss

I guess you found this blog by a Google search. I'm going to tell you something that worked for me, and I'm not going to ask you to buy anything.

I have essentially the same head of hair that I had 30 years ago, when I went to an upmarket hair stylist because my scalp was itchy and the hair was falling out at an alarming rate. I had a maternal grandfather who was bald, but apart from him I did not think I have baldness in my genes.

Anyway, here's what the hairdresser told me 30 years ago (and now I am telling you, for free)

• Stop using anti-dandruff shampoo or general purpose shower gel. For a few months use products that are intended for babies and infants, then switch to a good quality shampoo for normal hair. You must stop using anti-dandruff shampoo which is too harsh for your scalp and hair.

• Always use a good quality conditioner

• Wash hair only twice a week until the situation is stable

• Do not vigorously towel dry. Pat dry with a fresh towel, then let the hair dry naturally

• Do not use a heated hair drier - risk of too much heat irritating the scalp

• Do not use a comb. Instead learn to use a soft brush to achieve a neat look

All of this worked for me. I have followed the advice for 30 years
