Many people experiencing hair loss want to find out how to stop losing their hair, or whether hair loss solutions are available. However, it is important to remember that the most effective remedies for hair loss will depend on its root cause. In some cases, stopping hair loss may simply require a change in lifestyle, such as reducing stress levels, quitting smoking, or cutting down on alcohol. In other cases, the best hair loss solutions may be medical, with the use of drugs like Minoxidil (also known as Rogaine) and Finasteride. And still others find success using laser therapy or laser combs.
In all cases, if you are wondering how to stop losing hair, the best place to start is to see a physician to determine what is causing the hair loss and which option is likely to work best for your situation.
