This is what my Dad did. He is a very appearance-oriented person, and was never going to sit still for hair loss. His doctor also told him that the number one thing most men should do to prevent hair loss is use sunscreen on their scalp. It won’t stop male pattern baldness, but apparently accumulated sun damage causes more hair loss than we realize.
