What you can do
Female Pattern Baldness
- Visit your doctor to rule out any causes such as hormone imbalances.
- After all medical reasons have been ruled out, you can ask our staff at Mopani for a recommended product to aid in your hair care routine.
- Relax – managing your stress can go a long way in preserving your hair
- Look after your scalp – massaging it with the balls of your fingers, will stimulate blood flow and help you exfoliate. Do not scratch your scalp as this may damage your hair follicles even more
- Gently brush your hair, from the tips, upward, as not to cause heavy knotting and pulling
- Supplement with a good multivitamin to optimise your hair growth
