Hairfall Routine for Men| How to reduce hairfall in men?

Key takeaways: identify what kind of hair problem you have

The dermatologist emphasizes that “hair loss” vs “thinning” vs “breakage” are treated differently.

• Hair fall (shedding from the root)

  • More than normal shedding: normally 50–100 hairs/day
  • Example sign: a lot of hair comes off when you run your fingers through your scalp

• Hair thinning (miniaturization)

  • Little/no obvious shedding, but hair becomes thin, weak, and you may see more scalp
  • Seen early in male pattern hair loss

• Hair breakage

  • Hair breaks in the middle, not from the root
  • Density may look okay, but ends become frizzy/rough
  • More of a hair-care problem than a follicle problem

How male pattern hair loss happens (core mechanism)

• Hair follicles act like “factories” producing thick hair through a growth cycle: anagen, catagen, telogen.
• In androgenetic alopecia, DHT (dihydrotestosterone) harms specific follicles (hairline/temples/crown):
  • DHT causes follicle shrinkage → hair becomes finer and less pigmented (follicular miniaturization).
• Early treatment matters because once follicle-support structures detach, loss can become more permanent.

When hair loss is temporary vs likely persistent

Temporary (often recovers in a few months)

• High fever / viral infections (e.g., dengue, malaria, typhoid)
• Severe nutritional or vitamin deficiencies
• Drastic weight loss
• Major life stressors (death in family, major surgery, accident)
• Type mentioned: telogen effluvium

Simple at-home check

• Gently pull hair strands (about 40–60 strands between fingers)
• If 6–10 hairs come out → suggests active shedding → consult a doctor
• If none/very few come out → better sign

Wellness + self-care routine (daily/weekly)

• Wash hair at least 3 times per week
• Use a mild, gentle shampoo
• Don’t ignore dandruff
  • Dandruff doesn’t directly cause hair loss, but you need a healthy, dandruff-free scalp
• Be gentle with wet hair
  • Wet hair is more fragile → more breakage
• Stop smoking (non-negotiable)
  • Smoking causes blood vessel constriction → less blood/nutrients to follicles
• Improve foundational health:
  • Protein intake
  • Key nutrients: Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, iron/minerals
  • 7–8 hours sleep
  • Stress reduction
• Manage weight / metabolic health
  • Linked to hair quality

“Systems” mentioned (structured framework)

Not exactly work productivity—rather a step-by-step hair care and treatment framework:

1. Identify which problem you have (fall vs thinning vs breakage)
2. Follow a consistent routine (wash/shampoo/scalp health/gentle handling/lifestyle)
3. Use evidence-based treatment options (topical/oral/clinical), ideally early

Treatment options (evidence-based, plus supporting choices)

Topical (primary)

• Minoxidil (spelled “minoxyl” in subtitles)
  • Apply morning and evening, about 1 ml
  • Concentration: 2–5%
  • Needs long-term maintenance
  • Possible early increase in shedding (paradoxical telogen effluvium) in first 2–3 weeks
  • Better results often seen in 3–6 months
  • Dermatologist decides if it’s suitable

Oral

• Finasteride
  • Reduces conversion of testosterone → DHT (via 5-alpha reductase)
  • Helps prevent further loss / reduce receding hairline
  • Discuss possible side effects (e.g., reduced libido) with a dermatologist
• Topical finasteride is also mentioned as available (sometimes combined with minoxidil)

Supporting actives (adjuncts)

• Examples cited: Redensil, Procapil, Capixyl
  • Used as supportive peptides/actives, not a replacement for minoxidil

Clinical procedures

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
  • Blood is spun to extract PRP; contains growth factors
• GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate)
  • More concentrated growth factors than PRP
• Low-level laser therapy
• Injections mentioned: dutasteride into the scalp

Product recommendations mentioned in the video (by category)

Shampoos

• Cimet Everyday Shampoo
• Bioderma Nod G Shampoo (for dandruff)

Serums (non-minoxidil)

• Bontus Pro Scalp Serum
• WishCare Hair Growth Serum Concentrate
• Minto Pro Plus Hair Regrowth Serum
• Note: these don’t contain minoxidil per the speaker; minoxidil-serums should be chosen with dermatologist guidance

Minoxidil-based serums

• Suggested as commonly prescribed in 2–5%
