What You Need To Do To Prevent Hair Loss
Hair loss can be an embarrassing and emotionally challenging situation. In a society where appearance is coveted and youth is valued, a head of healthy hair is evermore important. This article will cover a number of tips and advice concerning hair loss that may be useful to you or someone you know, who is struggling with hair loss.
Having toxins in your body can help speed up the hair loss process, so you should aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to help strengthen your hair. Drinking this amount of water helps to purge your body of the toxins that can damage hair follicles. Once these toxins are gone, your hair can grow strong.
In order to prevent hair loss, you want to consider eating a diet that is rich in lean proteins. Keratin is a protein that is found in human hair. Eating foods high in protein, mixed on top of having Keratin, will keep your hair follicles strong and prevent hair loss.
One way to avoid hair loss is to maintain positive mental health. Stress and anxiety can lead to early hair loss in men and women, so developing personal tools to ease these concerns will help you to keep your full head of hair as long as possible. Whether it be engaging in physical activities or seeking support from friends, keeping stress away is a huge step in avoiding hair loss.
Don’t rub your hair. When you dry your hair you should be sure you don’t do it too hard. Rubbing your hair too hard can make it come out easier. You should also avoid using a blow dryer. If you do use one, make sure you use it on low heat.
When worried about hair loss, you should try to do without harsh chemical treatments that may damage and traumatize your hair and scalp. Forego dying or straightening your hair or getting a permanent. Instead, look into gentle ways of styling your hair that make the most of the hair you have and do not cause stress or breakage.
If you use sticky hair styling products, wash them out before going to bed. Leaving waxes, clays, hair gels and any other sticky substances in your hair while you sleep, will result in clogging of the pores in your scalp. These products can contain chemicals that can interfere with new hair growth, thus slowing down new hair growth.
If you are a woman experiencing hair loss do not use products intended for men. These products can have lasting effects on your reproductive system and may cause hair growth in unwanted areas or amounts. The product is being sincere when it warns that it is not for use by women.
It is important to approach hair loss by removing the stigma attached to it. Know that you are not your hair, first of all. You can then approach dealing with hair loss with a healthy and productive attitude. Hair loss is common and it can be dealt with in a way that adds to who you are, rather than diminishing your self worth.
