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 | Sök en hudläkare |
| Thinning where hair is pulled tight | Traktionsalopeci | Loosen hairstyles |
| Red, painful or scarred scalp | Hårbottenhälsa | 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.

Vanliga frågor
Can hair loss be stopped naturally?
Shedding from stress or low nutrients often recovers once the cause is fixed. Hereditary thinning usually needs a proven treatment to slow it.
What's the fastest way to stop hair loss?
There's no instant fix. Starting a proven treatment early gives the best chance.
Should I see a doctor?
Yes if hair loss is sudden, patchy, painful, or you're unsure of the cause.
