How to try and control a receding hairline

A receding hairline is a common worry, especially among men who belong to the age group of 17-29. When your hairline starts moving away from your forehead due to significant hair loss or hair fall, you must begin to face the possibility that you have a receding hairline. It is important to know that even though there are several causes of hair loss, e.g. thyroid, anaemia, stress, and chemotherapy, the most prominent reason is hereditary. So, how your hair will shape itself as you grow older, has a lot to do with genetics. 

Honestly, there is no specific solution to a receding hairline caused by genetics. However, there are several remedies and tips that you can follow, to minimize hair loss and keep your hair healthy. As one of the makers of the safest hair colouring solutions, hair oiling solutions, and other hair care products, we suggest the following tips to help you minimize a receding hairline: 

1) Eat a well-balanced diet 

If your body lacks sufficient amounts of iron, zinc, and fatty acids, then that may also be a reason for hair loss. So, it’s a must for you to ensure that you have a well-balanced diet that consists of all the nutrients essential for the health of your hair. Other than that, you should also consume multivitamins, like A, B12, and E, so your nutrition levels are well-regulated. 

2) Quit smoking 

Smoking not only causes hair loss but also hair greying. The allergens present in nicotine can significantly damage your hair follicles, and the toxins in tobacco can affect your hair health. So, if you want to minimize your hair loss, it is highly advisable to cut down on smoking, or quit it altogether. 

3) Opt for herbal solutions 

Certain herbs can significantly treat hair loss, e.g. hibiscus, gotu kala, aloe vera, and amla. So, if you wish to treat your hair loss and want to minimize hair recession, you should try these herbs. If you like colouring your hair, you can try our Vasmol Ayurprash Shampoo hair colour since it consists of a mix of Amla, Bhringraj, Methi, and Hibiscus, so it is not only effective but also healthy and safe for you. 

4) Massage your scalp with essential oils 

There are certain oils, like Karanja Oil, Almond oil, and Jasmine coconut hair oil, that are very important for the health of your hair. Massage your scalp thoroughly twice a week with these oils, to not only enhance hair growth, but also keep your hair healthy and shiny. You can explore our range of Vasmol oils here. 

5) (Try to) Stress Less 

We know, it’s easier said than done! But if possible, try not to stress too much about things that you have no control over. Stress is one of the major causes of hair loss. So, if your hair loss is due to stress, consider doing yoga, meditation or anything that helps you destress. 

If your receding hairline is a hereditary issue, then the best option is to follow the tips listed above, to minimize your hair recession. It is advisable not to opt for any medication or treatment, without proper consultation with a specialist.
