He’s famous for starring in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of The Rings, and Orlando Bloom has also been putting in the hours as a father, and was papped out this week running along with his young son Flynn in his pushchair with their dog Sidi following in their wake.

The actor, 36, certainly has a great crop of dark locks, though as is the case for 40% of men his age he may be showing signs of hair loss: it’s all in the hairline. It’s possible to naturally have a slight widow’s peak, where the hair forms a V shape at the forehead. However, if this V is becoming more prominent, it’s more likely that male pattern hair loss has begun in the form of a receding hairline.

Lord of the Receding Hairline?

So, if Bloom notices that the corners of his hair at the forehead seem to be thinning, perhaps the individual hairs are wispy and baby-like, he might do well to take a closer look, or even better, have a hair loss specialist do it for him. Because, if Bloom is receding, he will need to act now to prevent it from becoming more noticeable.

In fact it’s even possible that Bloom is already addressing his hair thinning by using Propecia, which may explain why the overall density is so good (or, he could just be genetically lucky, it does happen!). If so, he might be under the illusion that Propecia, a DHT blocker, will protect his hairline, too.

Whilst Propecia is great for preventing follicular miniaturisation, it won’t prevent a receding hairline. Luckily, there is another hair loss medication called minoxidil that has also been licensed by the MHRA and approved by the FDA for treating hair loss, which can help treat frontal balding.

Dashing Towards Hair Loss

Belgravia produce high strength minoxidil cream in their pharmaceutical laboratories, so whilst lower strength over-the-counter minoxidil formulations may not have much impact, increasing the strength to 10% or 12.5% can make a real difference by stimulating follicles to regrow hair.

A comprehensive treatment programme for male pattern balding would ideally contain both of the above medications, with a dedicated hair loss specialist selecting the ideal daily dosage of minoxidil for your specific case. They will also provide you with a number of treatment boosters, which can enhance the effect of the medication, for instance the FDA cleared LaserComb, which can speed up the regrowth.
