I’m a man in my mid-30s and have noticed my hairline has started to recede. I hadn’t expected this to happen as my dad still has a full head of hair. What would you suggest?

There are a number of factors that may play a role in the maintenance or loss of hair in both men and women. Genes for hair loss or growth come from both parents, so it is not only your father’s hair, but also your maternal grandfather’s hair that can influence your hair growth. Some supplements have shown good results in terms of restoring hair growth and slowing down hair loss. One of these is Nourkrin, which has been proven in clinical trials to improve hair growth and slow or prevent further hair loss. Nourkrin utilises Marilex to boost proteoglycans, biological molecules that regulate hair follicle growth. While research using proteoglycans for hair growth dates back to 1978, there are studies as recently as 2020 confirming the role that specific proteoglycans play in hair growth and hair loss.
