Balding is something that many men go through – as many as 70% are going to deal with balding or thinning hair at some point. This is something you don’t have much control over because it is ingrained in your DNA.

One challenging thing about being bald is not the physical aspect, but the emotional aspect. The first thing you need to do if you are balding is accept it, but still, remember that there are things you can do to deal with it. You won’t be doing anyone any favors by denying the fact you are going bald because it forces you to do things like the “comb over”. Once you accept that you are balding, and then you can start taking steps to slow down that process or even regrow some. You can also visit a hairstyle that is good at working with thinning hair.

Getting the right products

Rogaine (Minoxidil) is a topical drug sold over the counter to help re-grow lost hair. You need to use the product daily to see results. When you stop using the product, you start losing the hair you grew.

You can also visit the doctor to give you a prescription

Propecia (Finasteride) is an oral prescription that will prevent hair loss by affecting the hormones responsible. It will help you keep the hair you have left.

Changing your hairstyle

If you try the less-intrusive options and they don’t work, you need to look for a hairstyle that works well for balding or thinning hair. There is no single style that is going to be perfect for all types of hair loss. One general rule to keep in mind; the more hair you lose, the shorter how to style it. If your hairline is receding, you might be tempted to cover that, but a side part is going to work well with a higher hairline.

A disconnected fade worked for me and my thinning crown. This hairstyle has the front hair longer and tapered towards the bald spot. The hair is styled to go towards the crown and rest on it. This is a great option for those who aren’t completely bald. The important thing is having a hairstyle where it seems like you are covering an area, but instead working with that area. You should take full advantage of those areas of your hair that are still thick.

Considering transplants

You should consider hair transplants with the LA Hair Clinic if you want to hold onto your hair. This isn’t a miracle, but it will involve relocating the hairs from the back and side of your hair to the top of the head. This solution is costly and you might have to touch it up after a couple of years if your hair loss continues. You might have some scarring after depending on the method used for the transplant. Check out the different transplant options and see which options work best for you in the short and long term.

Growing facial hair instead

A beard is a good way of bringing the eyes of others down and away from your hairline. It is going to divert the attention and your head won’t get much attention. This is a good balancing act that is going to give you a great look. A good example of someone who has done this is Prince William.

Being confident

If you don’t like the treatment options, then you have to embrace it. You are not alone; there are many people who are going through hair loss. You should feel confident knowing that you are in control of the condition and how you handle it.
