Effective Anti Hair Fall Tips

Hair loss is a widely spread condition in both men and women, especially those in their middle age. Although there are a number of causes that can trigger hair shedding or balding, many of them are easily identifiable. The most common cause is genetic, and there is really little we can do about it. A number of diseases, such as diabetes, lupus, or syphilis, can bring about massive hair loss. In such a case, alopecia can be improved or reversed by treating the main illness.

Hair loss treatment varies depending on the reason of thinning hair or hair loss. Fortunately there are several ways for treatment. Some requires permanent surgical procedures while some may apply treatment products as their daily regimen. Different kinds of treatment have also different prices. Surgical treatments are usually far more expensive than the product that can be bought over the counter.

• One widely held belief is that the over use of chemicals on the hair can cause hair thinning and eventually hair loss. If you like to enhance the look of your hair through chemical means, but are nervous about future hair loss, it is a good idea to only have this type of work done by a licensed beautitian. Many do-it-yourselfers are too inexperienced to properly perform chemical treatments to their hair, having a tendency to over apply the products. If you do color your hair, it is thought best to keep the frequency to a six or eight week minimum.
• It is important to eat healthy foods and ensure that your body is getting the vitamins and minerals that it needs. Often times the body will show poor health in the hair follicles and finger nails before and actual illness is detected. While it is important to get enough of the right nutrients, it is just as important not to get too much of any one type of vitamin. For example, too much of vitamins A and E, have been linked to hair loss.
• When and if an illness is detected, it is important to take care of your health needs. If the doctor has prescribed medications, take it. Failure to follow the doctors advise will cause your body to work harder just to stay alive, it won’t have enough energey to keep the hair follicles growing and will eventually lead to hair loss. This is an excellent form of hair loss prevention.
• The style that you wear your hair can also be a hair loss prevention opportunity. When ever possible, avoid pulling hair into styles that require it to be pulled tight and bound with elastic for long periods of time. While hair accessories have become much more hair friendly during recent years, hairstyle such as tight ponytail, pig tails and cornrows can still do damage to the hair shaft and ultimately to the hair follicle.
• A way to pamper yourself doubles as a hair loss prevention idea. Using satin or silk pillowcases, is thought to prevent hair loss due to the fact that a silk or satin pillowcase will cause less friction while sleeping than a cotton or flannel pillowcase. This is because the head and the hair slide across the pillow instead of needing to be forcefully pushed across.
• There is a whole group of old wives’s tales that relate to hair loss prevention. These tips definatly won’t hurt to try, but really don’t do anything to combat the issue of hair loss. For instance, it has been said that standing upside down will increase blood flow to the head and that massaging the scalp or briskly brushing the hair will make the hair stay put and not fall out. This is simply not the case.
• It is important to remember that even in a healthy person, it is completely normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs from the head every day. If you feel that your hair loss issues are beyond that norm, speak with your doctor or dermatologist about your concerns. They will be able to determine if the hair loss is due to a medical or age issue, and point you in the right treatment direction.
• Eat a natural diet that emphasizes quality animal products, fresh and lacto-fermented vegetables, and some fruits. Go easy on grains, sweets, starches, and processed foods. Overproduction of insulin due to a long-term high-carbohydrate diet not only negatively effects hair growth, but also depresses the thyroid function, damages the pancreas, and leads to a host of diseases. Healthy hair is a direct result of a healthy, natural diet that contains all necessary vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, and fatty acids.
• Do not shampoo your hair every day. Frequent shampooing washes out natural hair oils and can trigger hair loss. Use only natural shampoos, conditioners, and other hair-care products.
