I started losing some hair in my mid 30s, and as soon as I cleaned up my diet, it definitely helped with the health of my hair, and the reduction of shedding. 

Ensure your diet includes a variety of nutrients essential for hair health, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, as well as minerals like iron and zinc. Include protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts.

I was looking for cheap and easy things that I could do in order to slow down the rate of which my strands were falling out. Scalp massages have shown to be quite effective, so I decided to give it a try, purchasing a scalp massage shower brush in the process.  

Regularly massaging your scalp can stimulate blood circulation, promoting hair growth. Use gentle, circular motions with your fingertips for a few minutes daily. I noticed a vast improvement in my hair from regularly massaging my scalp. 

Proper Hair Care

I've discovered that it can be the little things that have shown to be so effective in dealing with hair loss. Using a mild shampoos, and less conditioner, seems to have helped my hair. I now avoid excessive heat styling like hairdryers and straighteners, and harsh chemical treatments.  The better you treat you strands, the more they're likely to flourish. 

Aloe Vera and Rosemary Oil

It's not miracle cure, but aloe vera has definitely helped keep my scalp in better condition in order for the hair to grow.  Apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to your scalp. It has soothing properties and may promote hair growth.

Some essential oils, such as rosemary, lavender, and peppermint, may have positive effects on hair health. Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba) and massage into your scalp. I have found that rosemary oil is particularly effective for my locks. I apply it once or twice a week.  

I've always wanted to avoid using topical medications like minoxidil, so I went for the safe alternative in keratinocyte growth factor. Research suggests that KGF may stimulate the proliferation of hair follicle cells, leading to increased hair growth. On this basis, I decided to give it a try. 

This powerful, yet safe, topical solution has proved to be very effective for my hair. I have noticed a mark reduction in shedding, and an improved rate of hair growth and thickness.  KGF Serum works particularly well with a good hair supplement. 

Speaking of hair supplements, they don't come much better than HR23+®.  HR23+® hair growth supplement is a fast and highly effective hair loss solution for both men and women. This leading non-prescription hair supplement can help reduce hair loss, and increase hair growth in patients suffering from early stages of baldness and thinning hair.

I started taking HR23+® a few years ago, and I'll tell you now, it's an absolute game changer. I noticed much less hair fall, and vast improvements in the growth and texture of my hair. This fast-working formula has been a saviour for me, and I couldn't praise it more highly. 

Much like with the scalp massaging, I read a lot about micro needling, and its ability to treat hair loss, so I decided to give it a try. I started micro needling with a derma roller, along my frontal hairline, and across the crown area of my scalp (the most affected areas of diffuse thinning). I've not noticed any major changes, but it's early days, so I will continue to do this over the coming months. 

Remember, results may take time, and it's essential to be patient. This is a plan that has worked for me. It may not be as effective for you.  When it comes to treating hair loss, results will always vary from person to person. 

If your hair loss persists or worsens, consider consulting with a healthcare professional or a dermatologist for a more thorough evaluation and personalised advice.
