3 - Use caffeine-rich products: Caffeine can be used to promote hair growth, extend its growth phase, and prevent hair loss by stimulating metabolism and cell proliferation. To achieve this, simply choose shampoos and conditioners with formulations containing caffeine.

4 - Protect your hair at night: Weak hair is more prone to breakage or shedding. Therefore, it is essential to avoid sleeping with wet hair, as it is more fragile than dry hair. You can also care for your hair at night by using a silk or satin pillowcase, which reduces friction and prevents damage.

5 - Care for your hair and scalp: To maintain hair health and prevent damage and hair loss, it is essential to care for it regularly using hair masks and serums suitable for your hair type.

6 - Follow a diet to combat hair loss: Many scientific studies have shown how diets can affect hair growth and health. For example, in 2017, researchers revealed that following a Mediterranean diet may reduce the risk of developing androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness. In addition, diets low in protein, amino acids, and zinc may contribute to hair loss, and nutritional deficiencies should be avoided.

7 - Take multivitamin supplements: Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can be a risk factor for hair loss. Among the vitamins and minerals that should be consumed are: selenium, vitamin B, zinc, vitamin D, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E. You should also consult your doctor to find out if you have a deficiency in any of these elements and whether you need multivitamin supplements.

8 - Try low-level laser therapy: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as red light therapy, relies on the use of red light to stimulate cell activity. According to a study conducted in Korea in 2020, this treatment contributed to a significant increase in hair density and thickness in 48 people with androgenetic alopecia (genetic baldness).
