Hair Loss causes and prevention

Hair Loss plays a lead role in enhancing our looks. As a result poor self esteem may occur and your loss of confidence may prevent you from being happy. But don't despair unless it's hereditary, which is common baldness: male-pattern baldness/female pattern baldness, or permanent-pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men/women. But if none of the above plays a role in that, here are some prevention and tips that are helpful for you.  

Hair Loss Causes: 
  • If you have live a high stressed life try reducing stress by taking some time out daily just to relax, excessive stress is believed to induce hair loss
  • Have you experience an illness/infection, an underlying disease, hormonal problems or a major surgery? These factors can cause hair loss. 
  • Certain medicines/medications can cause hair loss. Ask your doctor.
  • If you color your hair, limit coloring it to once ever 2 months. Hair coloring damages your hair and the less frequently you color it the better.
  • Avoid putting too much physical stress on your hair, brush/comb your hair gently, don’t pull your hair when you brush and avoid braids and ponytails if possible, they place constant stress on your hair.
  • Avoid excessive wind, sun, and heat (such as from hair dryers, hot showers, flat irons/curling irons) on your hair.

    Hair Loss Prevention
    • Getting proper nutrition is essential for healthy hair. Drink lots of water, avoid junk/ processed food and eat your veggies.  
    • Take a multivitamin, Vitamin C and Omega 3's all play a part in maintaining a healthy scalp, skin, and hair.
    • Massage your scalp will increase circulation. Plus it's soothing and calming.
    • Get enough sleep.
    • Visit your hairstylist for trimmings especially split ends. Having split ends means unhealthy hair. 
    • If all else fails, see your doctor or a dermatologist for advice if you have concerns about hair loss and want to seek treatment. Don't forget there are wigs, hair pieces, and extensions at beauty department stores. 
    Hope you enjoy these great tips!
