From the Hair Loss Experts at HRC of Iowa

You’re in the shower, minding your own business, when you look down and see it—a clump of hair in the drain. Maybe you chalk it up to stress, bad luck, or just a fluke. But then you start noticing other signs:

  • A receding hairline that wasn’t there last year.
  • Your once-thick hair looking a little… thinner on top.
  • More scalp showing when you take a selfie.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

By their late 20s, many guys start seeing early signs of hair loss, and let’s be real—it’s a punch to the gut. Hair is a big part of how we see ourselves, and the thought of losing it can feel frustrating, confusing, and even a little scary. But here’s the deal: hair loss isn’t the end of the road.

The good news? You can do something about it—right now. And if you’ve already lost a good amount? We’ve got solutions for that too.

Let’s break it down.

Step 1: Figure Out What’s Happening

Hair loss doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a slow process, and the earlier you catch it, the better chance you have of stopping it—or at least slowing it down.

Signs You’re Losing Hair:

🔹 Thinning at the temples or crown (a classic sign of male pattern baldness).
🔹 A widening forehead (your hairline is creeping back).
🔹 More shedding than usual (hairs on your pillow, in the sink, or in the shower).
🔹 Less density (your hair feels thinner when you run your fingers through it).

Why Is This Happening?

For most guys, it’s genetics. If your dad, grandpa, or uncles went bald, chances are you’re seeing the early signs of androgenetic alopecia (a.k.a. male pattern baldness).

But other factors could be at play too:
⚡ Stress – Chronic stress can speed up hair loss.
🥩 Diet & Nutrition – Deficiencies in iron, protein, or vitamins like biotin and vitamin D can weaken hair.
🛑 Harsh Styling & Products – Overusing gel, wax, or tight hairstyles (looking at you, man buns) can stress your follicles.
💊 Medications & Health Issues – Certain meds or conditions like thyroid disorders can cause hair thinning.

The key takeaway? You’re not crazy. You’re noticing something real—and it’s time to take action.

Step 2: What Can You Do to Stop or Slow It Down?

If you’re still in the early stages, you have options. No, we’re not talking about miracle snake oil treatments—but clinically proven solutions that can actually make a difference.

The Hair Retention Game Plan:

✅ Use a specially formulated trichological Shampoo to combat DHT
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing male pattern baldness. A good DHT-blocking shampoo can help reduce scalp inflammation and create a healthier environment for hair growth.

✅ Start Using Red Laser Therapy ASAP
Red laser therapy is clinically proven as an effective treatment for hair loss and hair thinning.  It doesn’t grow new hair, but it keeps the hair you still have in place longer and help provide the necessary oxygen and blood flow to support healthy hair growth.

✅ Feed Your Hair Right
A diet rich in protein, healthy fats, iron, and biotin can help strengthen hair and prevent excessive shedding. Consider adding:

  • Eggs (protein & biotin)
  • Salmon (omega-3s for scalp health)
  • Spinach (iron & vitamin A)
  • Nuts & seeds (zinc & healthy fats)

✅ Reduce Stress & Take Care of Your Scalp
High stress = higher cortisol levels, which can speed up hair loss. Exercise, meditation, or even just getting more sleep can help keep your hair stronger for longer.

✅ Regular Checkups & Hair Health Assessments
Getting your scalp checked by professionals—like the experts at HRC of Iowa—can help identify problems before they get worse.

Step 3: What If You’ve Already Lost Too Much Hair?

Alright, let’s say you’re past the early stage—your hair has already thinned considerably, and those treatment options aren’t going to bring back what’s already gone.
