1) Self MonitoringThis might sound obvious, but the best way to determine whether you are experiencing hairline receding or thinning of the hair on the scalp, is to keep a close eye on the situation. Prevention is always better that cure. Early action could very well prevent further hair loss, by simply taking medication or changing your diet. | ![]()

2) Your DietA healthy diet is not only essential for your overall health, but can also greatly assist in the prevention of further hair loss. Your hair, scalp and hair follicles require certain vitamins and minerals to promote healthy hair growth. A poor diet can result in early hair loss, speeding up the onset of Alopecia. Important elements in your diet to maintain and promote healthy hair growth are ingesting adequate protein, iron and Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids.
