Balding young man: 23 M from Jeddah notes I start balding. Is there any way to stop it? ANS: most likely not. Do a family tree as far back as you can and look an ask about when men and women started losing their hair. If this is a family trait about the only thing you could have done about it would be to choose different grandparents ;-). Also ask your Drs what they think.There are rare causes that can be treated.

Balding: Medications - Minoxidil (Rogaine) & Finasteride (Propecia), Surgical - Hair transplant. 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. Genetics plays the biggest factor in balding for most people- you may or may not have success.
