Balding Cures: Potions, Lotions or Mr. Sheen?


One of the most common concerns for any adult man is thinning hair. Unfortunately male pattern baldness is genetic and pre-determined and thus seeing thinning hair on the crown and a receding hairline is a bit like watching the Aussie’s lose the one day matches – slow and painful!

Baldness is not something just for the over 30’s to be concerned about. In early twenties some men begin receding. Styling thinning hair can be difficult. So was Mr. Sheen right?

According to Alex Tabakman of successful “The Barber Club” Haircuts for Men, there is no need to shave it all off, shorter layered styles is a great way to thicken hair and when styled forward it can cover the thinning areas.

For hair that is too fine to layer, the buzz cut using scissors (not clippers) looks great as it masks the amount of hair loss and keeps a sharp, polished look which never dates.

Miracle potions or lotions may be hard to find however there are practical and effective products that treat thinning hair and slow the balding process, Detail for Men recommends the American Crew “Revitalize” system.

This product helps control the thinning process by preventing DHT from binding to the receptor sites at the base of hair follicles. As well copper gluconate compound nourish the scalp and hair to ensure healthy hair growth. When styling thinning hair, “The Barber Club Haircuts” for Men recommends American Crew Thickening Lotion (which lasts until it is shampooed out) to boost hair density.

Stephen Foyle strongly suggests a hair cut every 4 weeks to ensure thinning hair looks smart and thickness is maximised. Contact The Barber Club and ask about their packages designed for thinning hair to keep you looking ‘Detailed’.
