Healthy Hair Habits: Practical Tips to Reduce Hair Loss
Even while androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss, it is not the only one. Hair loss can be brought on by medical diseases including hypothyroidism, ringworm, and fungus infections. A crash diet, abrupt hormonal changes, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments can all result in rapid or atypical hair loss, as can taking certain drugs including blood thinners, gout medication, birth control pills, and too much vitamin A. Consult your doctor if you use prescription drugs to determine whether they may be causing your hair loss
10% of our hair is always in what is referred to as a "resting phase"; after 2-3 months of rest, hair falls out and new hair develops in its place. However, some people lose more hair than is typical
Here are some great resources for halting more hair loss
A vitamin megadose should be avoided. Your hair may start to fall out if you take too much vitamin A
Exercise,meditation, or any other stress-reduction technique can help you feel less anxious and stressed. Change your hairstyle to one that exerts less strain and pressure on your hair and scalp if you wear cornrows, bunches, use a curling iron, hair dryer or hot rollers
Stop using hot oil treatments or chemicals like those included in permanent hair colour if they are causing your scalp to become inflamed, or cut back on how often you use them
Use mild shampoos and conditioners to protect your hair from needless harm
Herbs like saw palmetto and licorice root help prevent the production of DHT in males. The same is true for taking zinc supplements. Studies indicate that these supplements can also aid in preventing prostate enlargement, which is an extra advantage
Apply rosemary oil diluted in olive oil on your scalp. Both rosemary oil and scalp massages can increase blood flow to the scalp and encourage hair growth. Once more, consult your doctor if you're losing your hair to be sure a more serious condition isn't to blame
