To improve hair density and slow baldness, focus on a diet rich in protein, iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and biotin. Include foods like eggs, spinach, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, fatty fish, and berries. Stay hydrated and manage stress through yoga or meditation. Gentle scalp massage with oils like coconut or rosemary oil can stimulate blood flow. Avoid harsh chemical treatments and excessive heat styling. Also, check your Vitamin D and iron levels, as deficiencies can worsen hair loss.

Hi
Good morning!
Low hair density could be due to reasons such as heredity, change in androgen levels or nutrient deficiencies.
You can do a complete blood to understand the cause then take steps to prevent it.
