Are you seeing more and more hair go down
the drain than on your head? If so then it is high time that you reassess your
hair care regimen. If you don’t want to sport any bald spots anytime soon, let
me give you the top 4 tips to manage excessive hair loss.
WATCH YOUR DIET
If you want to keep your hair in place you
have to look at what you eat. Most of the time people overlook the fact that
your nutrition largely dictates the condition of the body. Diets that will
benefit your hair in particular are those that are rich in antioxidants, tissue
repairing proteins and B vitamins.
Antioxidants like vitamins A, C and E which
can be found in oranges, carrots and apples will help your body get rid of
harmful free radicals, which can create inflammatory responses causing your
hair to fall off. Proteins promote hair growth and help to keep it strong and
healthy, and you can get these from fish, eggs, lean meats and nuts. Meanwhile
the family of B vitamins which you can get from bananas, spinach, milk cheese,
brown rice and whole grain cereals improves the strength and thickness of your
hair.
Since our diets don’t usually contain all
the recommended nutrients that we need to keep our locks in the best shape, it
is advisable that you take supplements to fill out those nutritional gaps.
KEEP YOUR STRESS IN CHECK
It is normal to go through different
stresses every day, but it is also important that you keep these in check
because eventually it can lead to negative physical symptoms. One of these
symptoms is excessive hair loss, which is caused by the changes that stress
creates to your hormone levels. This type of hair loss can be easily reverted
once the stressor is promptly managed.
CHECK YOUR HAIRSTYLE PRODUCTS
If you are fond of using a lot of hair
products, you might want to reassess these to check if it is still doing your
hair good. Some of the chemicals that you have to watch out for are hair dyes
and perming solutions. These can be rather harsh both on your scalp and hair
causing it to become flimsy and eventually start falling off.
It is also important that you wash your
hair after using products such as gels, sprays and mousses because when these
build up on your scalp, along with dirt and natural oils, it causes your hair
follicles to weaken. So make sure that
if you apply some hair styling products on your hair, promptly wash it before
going to bed.
CHANGE YOUR HAIRSTYLE
If you have seen the recent paparazzi shots
of supermodel Naomi Campbell, this is the very example why you should check the
kind of hairstyle that you wear. She basically lost a good amount of hair at
the front of her scalp causing her hairline to recede.
Hairstyles that create significant strain
to the hair follicles can eventually lead it to be uprooted off your scalp. For
Naomi’s case, she was always known to wear weaves, which can be very tight and
harsh to the roots of the hair, this is called traction alopecia. Tight braids
and ponytails can also do the same. So to avoid this, try to let your hair down
for a change.
Although it would be most unfortunate if the
type of hair loss created leads to scarring. This can lead to permanent hair
loss because the scars created blocks the hair follicles. The only answer to
this type of problem would be hair transplant. Since hair transplant cost can
be a little steep for most budgets, why not simply use more pressure relieving
hairstyles instead.
