Natural And Effective Ways To Combat Hair Loss
Hair loss can be an embarrassing and frustrating problem for both men and women. Frequently it is caused by heredity, but it can also be the result of disease or exposure to chemicals. Research continues to try to find the ideal solution to this problem, but there are a few solutions available now for those who are interested.
If your hair is thinning and you are considering wearing a wig, think again. It is going to cause your natural hair to fall out much quicker because it damages your scalp and your hair follicles. Hats, helmets and wigs should not be worn when you are losing your hair to avoid speeding up the loss.
If you are losing your hair due to medications or aging, the best thing you can do is to simply accept that this is happening. You can be attractive without your hair. Move past the denial and accept that you are losing your hair, so that you can take steps to deal with the issue.
Don’t brush too much. Brushing your hair in general is good for your hair, stimulating the hair follicles and increasing blood flow. However, care should be taken not to brush too much or too hard. Brushing hair more than necessary can lead to split ends and breakage, which weaken the hair and lead to hair loss.
If you have an excess of vitamin A in your system it can lead to hair loss. An excess would be around 100,000 IU or more daily for a very long period of time. Decreasing the excess amount of vitamin A can lead to hair growing back as soon as this cause of hair loss is fixed.
If you are taking a bath or shower, try to stick to lukewarm or cold water to wash your hair. Hot water can strip all the oils from your skin, which can yield the dryness and breakable hair. Only wash with warm water if you desire to have a healthy head of hair.
Change your after shower routine to cut down on hair loss. When you are done washing your hair rub it gently with a towel to dry it, instead of rubbing vigorously. It is also suggested not to use a hair dryer. If you must, use it on low heat.
If you are concerned about, or suffering from hair loss, avoid home permanent kits and leave that process to the professionals. Permanent waves can add curl, volume and fullness to straight, fine and thinning hair, but the chemicals involved can cause complete hair loss if left in too long or applied incorrectly.
Mixing up the products you use on your hair can help prevent hair loss. Do not stick with one brand of shampoo or conditioner. A good way to do this is switch brands on the first day of each new season so you will be mixing it up at least 4 times a year.
When hair loss strikes, people are often desperate for a solution. At this time, there is no perfect solution, but there are medications, topical solutions, hair transplants and wigs that can help. Some people feel that vitamins may help, as well. Consider the various solutions presented, and decide which option is best for your situation.
