It depends on the hair loss type and causes. Male pattern baldness is hereditary and difficult to prevent other than by certain prescription drugs. Hair loss caused by lifestyle choices is clearly easier to prevent. Always seek the advice of your doctor.

Hair loss may be associated with iodine deficiency and a sluggish thyroid (especially if you are a female). Taking iodine should correct this problem. Females with male pattern baldness may be struggling with hormonal imbalance - another iodine problem.

Avoid washing in hot water, as it causes hair to fall out. Use cool/cold water. Try making a rinse of nettle and rosemary to encourage growth and remove DHT hormone buildup. You can grind those and add olive oil to make scalp rub to reduce hair loss.
