The Power of Exercise: Boosting Hair Health and Preventing Balding

Exercise can have a positive impact on hair health by improving blood flow to the scalp and reducing stress levels. Aerobic activities like cycling, running, walking, and swimming can increase red blood cell production and improve blood circulation, while reducing cortisol levels. However, intense physical activity and strenuous strength training can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle and damage hair follicles. It is important to shower after a workout to wash away sweat and salt, using cool water to avoid stripping the scalp of essential oils. Regular exercise, stress reduction, and a healthy diet can help reduce hair loss and improve overall health.

Other treatments include red light therapy and in-clinic microneedling. While menopausal hair loss can't be cured overnight, it can be improved with proper treatment.
