Step 1: Work out the type of hair loss
| What you notice | Likely cause | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Slow thinning at the hairline, crown or part | Hereditary hair loss | Minoxidil; ask a doctor about prescription options |
| Sudden heavy shedding all over | Telogen effluvium (stress, illness, childbirth) | Often recovers in months; check iron and thyroid |
| Round bald patches | Alopecia areata | Consultar um dermatologista |
| Thinning where hair is pulled tight | Alopecia por tração | Loosen hairstyles |
| Red, painful or scarred scalp | Condição do couro cabeludo | See a dermatologist soon |
Step 2: Treatments with the best evidence
For hereditary hair loss, these are the options most often recommended:
- Topical Minoxidil: over the counter, for men and women
- Finasteride: a prescription tablet for men
- Oral Minoxidil or spironolactone: prescribed off-label by some doctors
- Laser devices and microneedling: modest evidence, often used alongside other treatments
- Hair transplant: for stable, advanced loss
Step 3: Support your scalp and hair
Gentle shampoo, avoiding tight styles and harsh heat, and eating enough protein, iron and vitamin D won't reverse hereditary loss on their own, but they help the hair you have look its best and support recovery from shedding. Cosmetic products like TRIOXIDIL® hair care aim to improve how full hair looks; they are not drugs.
Step 4: Be patient and track it
Hair grows about 1 cm a month, so any treatment needs months to show. Take photos in the same light every month and give a treatment at least four to six months before deciding.
