Alopecia or hair loss is a very common problem for both men and women. Androgenetic alopecia refers to the male pattern or female pattern hair loss. In the case of some people, Androgenetic alopecia may be a hereditary problem.

In the case of androgenetic alopecia, hair starts falling usually from the crown region. Male pattern baldness is different from female pattern baldness. In the case of female pattern baldness, hair falls from all over the scalp region and not just the region above the temples.

Common Cause of Bladness

Many causes are responsible for Androgenetic alopecia. Genetic reasons, hormonal disorders, increased production of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), and also aging can make conditions worse.

How to Stop Androgenic Alopecia Naturally

Androgenetic alopecia can be a very embarrassing problem. There are certain natural as well as medical ways to prevent androgenetic alopecia. Some of them are mentioned as follows:

  1. Drink green tea: Researches show that green tea has anti-androgenic properties, which can help you to prevent androgenetic alopecia.
  2. Massage oil on your scalp: Massaging your scalp with hair oils like coconut oil provides your hair with the required nourishment and hence, prevents hair fall.
  3. Try to reduce stress: Stress can increase the secretion of 'cortisol' hormones in your body, leading to a hormonal imbalance, which may result in hair fall. So, reducing stress may help you to prevent excessive hair loss.
  4. Consider hair transplantation procedure: If you are losing your hair at an alarming rate, then you may consider clinical treatment. The treatment of hair transplantation can help you to prevent further hair loss.
  5. Change your diet: Include foods such as eggs, fish, and walnuts. These foods are replete with protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, which provide your hair the required nourishment and help you prevent Androgenetic Alopecia.
  6. PRP treatment. Platelet-rich plasma therapy helps in improving the thickness of the hair by releasing the growth factors needed for hair growth.

Common Tips to Prevent Androgenetic Alopecia (Baldness) Naturally

To prevent baldness in male and female, check out these natural remedies to treat this hair problem:

  1. Fenugreek: You might be surprised to know that the seeds of fenugreek contain hormone antecedents. These help in the repair of hair follicles. The seeds are also rich in nicotinic acid that promotes the growth of hair which helps in preventing baldness also.
  2. Aloe Vera: It is a very useful home remedy in tackling issues related to the hair. It helps in maintain and restoring the pH balance of the scalp. It has a slightly alkaline property.
  3. Oil massage: Insufficient supply of nutrients to the hair can lead to loss of hair. Therefore, to Prevent Androgenetic Alopecia (Baldness), it is always a wise idea to massage the scalp with hot oil to provide enough nutrients to the scalp and improve the flow of blood in the head
  4. Coconut milk: It is rich in fats and proteins. It helps in the growth of hair and prevents loss. For best results, grind the coconut pulp to get milk out of it and then apply it to the scalp and hairs.
