Is there something that could be called a hairstyle to help hair loss? We come across many different theories about hair loss and the best way to disguise it but at Ukmedix we feel that the worst thing a man can do is try to disguise his hair loss with a hair style. The biggest ‘No No’ without a doubt is the ‘comb over’ where a man gets the healthy hair follicles from the side of his head and grows them so they cover right across his head. This looks ridiculous and will highlight hair loss even more than a bald head. Some men have even been known to comb their hair right over their heads from the back giving themselves a fringe at the front which is also a bad idea.

Growing your hair long is also likely to highlight hair loss as the difference between the areas with thick growth and thin growth is highlighted more. At Ukmedix we advise that when hair loss starts that you keep your hair short and neat so that you don’t bring attention to your hair loss and the thin and thick parts are less obvious.

People have also been known to use special sprays that temporarily thicken the hair follicles or even to use special powders that darken the scalp so that it is not so visible beneath the thinning hair. These methods can be effective for a very short term but they do not address the problem of hair loss and just provide a temporary solution which will make your hair loss even more obvious when you don’t use the sprays or powders.

If you are serious about stopping your hair loss you need to get medical help and you should get a consultation with a doctor either face to face or if you like on Ukmedix’s website you can have an online consultation.

The best drug for male pattern hair loss is without a doubt Propecia that can also claim to be the most clinically tested hair loss drug in the world. Propecia is being used by about 4 million men worldwide, which is the biggest testament to its success. Other hair loss treatments like Minoxidil have also been shown to be successful and you should speak to a doctor about these different treatments and options. If your hair loss is very advanced it is unlikely that either Propecia or Minoxidil will work for you and the only option for you may be a surgical hair transplant.
