Hair loss in your 50s can be attributed to various factors such as hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, and overall health. 

While it may not be entirely possible to completely stop hair loss, there are several strategies and lifestyle changes you can adopt to minimise its impact and promote healthy hair growth:

Maintain a balanced diet - Ensure you're getting essential nutrients like vitamins (A, B, C, D, and E), minerals (iron, zinc), and protein. It may sound far-fetched, but it is true that a a well-balanced diet can support hair health and growth.  As we age, it is more important to get vital nutrients and vitamins into our bodies for overall health... including hair health. 

Manage stress - Chronic stress can contribute to hair loss, and it's becoming more common. What's more, most hair loss sufferers have no idea that stress could likely be causing the issue.  Practice stress-reduction techniques like meditation, yoga, or regular exercise to alleviate its impact on your body.

Avoid harsh treatments - Minimise the use of heat styling tools, chemical treatments, and tight hairstyles, as they can weaken the hair and lead to breakage. You'd be surprised at how many people (women in particular) damage and lose hair through heat based styling devices. 

Be gentle with your hair - It is important to minimise the amount of unnecessary hair fall, in order to protect what strands are intact. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle wet hair and avoid aggressive brushing or rubbing your hair with a towel. Every little thing you do now can save a lot of hair in the long run. 

Use mild hair care products - Choose shampoos and conditioners that are gentle on your hair and scalp, and avoid products with harsh chemicals. Also try to avoid harsh medications like minoxidil, as they can cause excessive shedding, which is not what you want if you are already losing hair. 

Stay hydrated - Drink plenty of water to keep your body and hair hydrated. This is a lot more important than so many people think. Water is great, not just for your hair, but for every single part of your body's health. 

Hormone therapy - For some individuals, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other hormonal treatments may be recommended if hormonal imbalances are contributing to hair loss. These sorts of treatments are particularly popular (and effective) for women. 

Supplementation - Multi nutrient hair supplements like HR23+ can help prevent excessive shedding and promote healthy hair growth. These types of supplements offer vital nutrients to the hair, and are essential for the maintenance of healthy strand activity and growth. They are also a safe alternative to harsh medications like finasteride. 

Hair transplant or restoration - In more severe cases of hair loss, hair transplant procedures or other restoration treatments may be considered.

Remember that hair loss is a natural part of aging for many people, and some degree of hair thinning may be expected. While these tips can help improve the condition of your hair and slow down hair loss, it's essential to set realistic expectations and consult a professional for personalized advice and treatment options.
