What is the best way to prevent balding?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Treatment : Presently we just have rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia to treat baldness, but gene therapy is coming and of course you can also have hair transplants done. See your dermatologist for treatment and evaluation.

Balding Prevention: You can't change your genetics. These tips may provide some benefit. Eat a nutritious diet to avoid deficiencies. Avoid hairstyles that pull hair tightly. Use gentle shampoo. Avoid hair dryers, permanents or curling irons. Consider use of a wide toothed comb. Consider acupuncture.
