The plan
Weeks 1–4
Learn & track
Week 1 how pattern loss works · Week 2 baseline photos · Week 3 what has evidence · Week 4 doctor route.
Pattern hair loss is genetic and DHT-driven; early, informed action works best.
Morning
Gentle wash & condition
Wash scalp 2–3×/week; condition; no hard rubbing with towels.
Why: Reduces breakage that exaggerates thinning.
Evening
Read today's lesson
Open the linked article: Male-pattern hair loss.
Why: Knowing the evidence prevents spending on unproven oils.
Habits
Hairline & crown photos
Same light, hair dry, front/temples/crown; repeat monthly.
Why: Objective tracking is what a doctor needs.
Doctor route
See a doctor for: patchy loss, scalp pain/scaling, sudden shedding, or to discuss minoxidil/other licensed options.
Why: Some causes are not genetic and need treatment.
Food
Hydration
Water with each meal and whenever thirsty; more in heat and harmattan.
Why: Supports overall health; skin hydration is mostly about the barrier, so pair water with moisturiser.
Milestones
