Stop Hair Loss
What Can You Do To Stop Hair Loss?
If you're losing hair, or you notice thinning or balding spots, there are several
things you can do.
Some hair loss is perfectly normal. Both men and women, naturally loses 50 to 100 hairs a day. But exessive hair
loss is not.
Stop Hair Loss with a
Healthy Diet
I know -- not the diet again!
But it's true, tour hair is sensitive to your diet. Very low calorie diets and eating disorders can
be the cause of hair loss.
Also, not drinking enough water can contribute to hair loss as well.
Hair is made up of protein, so it naturally if your diet doesn't contain enough protein it can affect certain parts
of your body, your hair being one of them. So increasing your protein intake can lessen hair loss.
Eating fish is one great way to up your protein levels. The oils in fish are especially beneficial
to both hair and skin.
Make sure you are also getting enough B vitamins, vitamin C, folic acid and biotin. Normally you will get these
nutrients if you eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
Hair Loss and Shampooing Your Hair
Keep your hair and scalp clean.
While shampooing, massage your scalp and hairline well. This increases circulation to your hair follicles. Using
nizoral shampoo can help stop hair loss.
Conditioners
Conditioning and moisturizing also helps. Dry brittle hair not only falls out, but also breaks off. Protein
conditioners — especially those with hydrolyzed human hair keratin proteins — will give the best results. Leave the
conditioner on for three to five minutes before rinsing.
Protect From UV Radiation
Just like your skin, your hair can also get sun burned and if your hair is thin, your scalp may get
sunburned also. Y
Protect your exposed scalp from UV radiation by using a good sunscreen and protect your hair by wearing a hat or
by using aleave-in conditioner with sun block.
Natural Remedies
Some people have said that taking silica capsules can stop hair loss.
Ginko biloba may also help as well because it is designed to improve the circulation to the scalp.
Another common natural remedy is to rinse your hair in a mix of cider vinegar and sage tea once or twice a
week.
Minoxidil (Rogaine®)
Minoxidil is an over-the-counter medication that stops hair loss. It is FDA approved and can be used by
both men and women. You apply minoxidil direct to your scalp. However, it does take a few weeks before you will any
improvement can be seen. Minoxidil helps a lot of people, but you have to keep on using it. As soon as you stop
using it you will start losing your hair again.
Prescriptions
There are prescription medications, available from your doctor, designed specifically to stop hair loss. Propecia
is the main one. Avodart is also used, but it is not FDA approved for the treatment of hair loss.
Your hair loss may be caused by hormonal disturbances, or other causes, and taking medications designed to treat
those problems should also help to stop your hair loss.
There are quite a few things you can do for yourself to stop hair loss. If these don’t work, you should always
check with your doctor to see if there is an underlying cause for your hair loss. You can discuss further treatment
options with her.
