Hot Tips To Prevent Hair Loss!
By: Jerry Hall Leo
While Androgenetic Alopecia is the number one reason why
individuals experience hair loss, it is not the only one.
Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, ringworm and fungal
infections can cause hair loss. Certain medications such as
blood thinners, gout medication, birth control pills and too
much vitamin A can cause sudden or abnormal hair loss as can
following a crash diet, sudden hormonal changes, chemotherapy
and radiation. If you are taking prescription medications,
talk to your doctor and find out if your medication is
contributing to your hair loss.
At any given time 10% of our hair is in what is called a
"resting phase" and after 2-3 months resting, hair falls out
and new hair grows in its place. Some people, however,
experience more hair loss than is normal.
Over here are some excellent resources on how to prevent
further hair loss:
Avoid mega-doses of vitamin A. Too much vitamin A can cause
your hair to fall out.
Exercise, do yoga, meditate or find some other practice that
will help to reduce your anxiety and stress levels. If you
wear pigtails, cornrows, use a curling iron, hair dryer or hot
rollers, try changing your hair style to one that puts less
pressure and stress on your hair and scalp.
If hot oil treatments or chemicals such as those used in
permanents are causing inflammation to the scalp, discontinue
their use, or reduce the number of times you are using them.
Use gentle shampoos and conditioners to avoid any unnecessary
damage to your hair.
In men, herbs such as saw palmetto and licorice root help
block the formation of DHT. The same holds true for
supplementation with zinc. As an added benefit, studies show
that these supplements can also help prevent prostate
enlargement.
Massage your scalp with rosemary oil in an olive oil base.
Both rosemary oil and massaging the scalp can stimulate the
circulation in the scalp and promote hair growth. Again, if
you are experiencing hair loss, check with your doctor to
ensure that a more serious disorder isn't the cause.
