Yep, traditionally a treatment for the face, microneedling is becoming increasingly popular for treating hair loss. The process works in entirely the same way: the skin responds to ‘micro injuries’ caused by needles rolled across the scalp, activating the body’s healing response (tricking one’s scalp, if you will). This ‘healing’ stimulates the production of proteins in the skin’s cells that are responsible for the development of a new hair follicle – et voilà – regrowth. Potentially. Remember that hair loss is notoriously tricky to treat, but an average of four to six treatments should lead to results. ​

One for rejuvenation, mesotherapy uses nutrient-boosting injections to reduce hair loss, promote growth and slow male pattern baldness. How? More needles. This time, injections, containing a cell-boosting combo of vitamins, minerals, and components found naturally within the skin (like hyaluronic acid). These are directed into the ‘mesoderm’ of the scalp, to initiate cell metabolism and accelerate hair growth. A session will typically last around an hour and a half, and you’ll need around eight sessions to see results. Pain-free? Pretty much… once the numbing cream kicks in.    

We’re suckers for a natural remedy (honey and lemon, tea tree oil, rewatching Queer Eye to ‘zen out’), so what can you try to hold off the thinning? First up – step away from the straighteners: heated tools can cause hair to turn brittle and break. Consider your diet – eating foods high in vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc and vitamin b12, will help to revitalise thinning strands. Lastly – regular scalp massages. Get your partner to start warming up their hands because frequent massage will improve circulation to the scalp and help to stimulate hair growth (result).

Last up, the salon trip. Hair stylists know just as much about nurturing your locks as how to style them wondrously, so book in for a nourishing treatment to boost the health of your hair. From overnight serums, to vitamin-infused oils, and even photon therapy, a salon treatment will start from around £20 and come with some bonus wisdom on aftercare. In other words, keep the caffeine out of your shampoo and in your morning coffee, and leave the hair growth to the pros. Or, embrace it, less time spent styling it in the morning, gents. ​
