Premature hair loss in adults today is a commonly occurring phenomenon. While losing hair gradually is not a new concept, it is usually attributed to older age groups. However, our research shows adults as early as in their 20s are facing hair loss and thinning hair in growing numbers. Premature hair loss in younger age is due to stress from the modern lifestyle. While hair loss in some cases may be irreversible, it is important to take action quickly to restore hair regrowth and prevent total balding.
Here are some commonly available solutions to prevent hair loss and delay balding.
1. Minoxidil
Minoxidil is pharmaceutical medication, known to slow the rate of hair fall. Minoxidil is generally prescribed by doctors after a consultation. Minoxidil is used to treat both hereditary balding and generic hair fall. It is important to consult a doctor prior to using Finasteride based treatment options.
2. Finasteride
Finasteride is DHT Blocker. DHT is a male sex hormone known to increase hair loss in some with greater sensitive to the hormone. Finasteride is available only through prescription. However, Finasteride comes with several side effects as it alters blood chemistry. It is important to consult a doctor prior to using Finasteride based treatment options.

Advanced hair serums such as the "B.LAB Hair Regrowth Patch" increase the growth cycle of hair roots, by blocking the action of DHT in the scalp. As it is a topical application, it promotes hair regrowth safely without altering blood chemistry.

Vitamin A, B3, B5, B9, and E are essential nutrients needed for hair growth and hair regrowth. Consuming food items like spinach, soya beans, broccoli, orange, chicken and fish, provides these essential nutrients. Zinc, Magnesium, and Iron found in food like dairy, wheat, oats, egg yolk, banana, cashews, milk, fish especially tuna, fortified cereals, and leafy greens, also boosts hair regrowth. Food like Green Tea are effective in hair regrowth as they block the action of DHT.
