Tips to Prevent Hair Loss


Make no mistake about it.  Some hair loss is not preventable.  Every one of us loses 100-150 hairs a day in the natural cycle of hair growth and death.  It is normal and should not be cause for concern.  Further, larger amounts of hair loss can occur at specific times in life – illness, surgery, pregnancy, life-changing events, anxiety and stress, and certain diseases. Again, these are treatable and, in most cases, temporary. 

More-than-normal hair loss can be prevented in several ways:

1.Keep your body healthy
Body health translates into scalp health and allows follicles to continue to produce hair to replace that which is lost.  Good diet and exercise, to increase blood circulation are really important.

2.Stop injuring your hair 
Harsh shampoos and coloring/treatment products, used in excess, will kill your hair.  Instead use hair regrowth shampoos and treatments like Lipogaine, Ultrax, Regenepure, Pura d’or, Nioxin System Cleanser and Scalp Therapy. Your follicles cannot replace hair as fast as it is falling out when your hair is severely damaged.  Likewise, use dry heat as little as possible – blow dryers and curling irons dry out and crack hair, causing it to break off in more than normal amounts.

3.Find ways to reduce stress and anxiety in your life
If you over-react to stressful situations, lose sleep, sorry constantly, you are on the road to more health concerns than just loss of hair.  But make no mistake about it, your hair will fall out in greater amounts.

4.Use topical treatments for your scalp  
Essential oils and combinations of herbs can be very helpful in keeping follicles open and productive. Products that you can try are Rogaine for Men, Rogaine for Women, Lipogaine for Men, Lipogaine for Women,  Nioxin Diamax, Groei 360 and Kirkland Minoxidil 5% 

5.Use medical products developed by a variety of pharmaceutical companies, both in lotion and pill form such as Hairomega 3-in-1 DHT-Blocking Supplement, Viviscal , Ultrax Labs Maxx Hair DHT Blocker, NuHair Regrowth Tablets for Men/Women and Provillus.

6.Start early
As soon as you experience hair loss that has been confirmed not to be a result of another health condition, begin your investigation of the wide variety of treatments available.  You will have to experiment and you will have to be patient.  Many products require 3-6 months before you see visible results

7.Don’t give up 
Use the product that works best for you right now, and look for new advances in the area of hair loss.  Medical research is “on this,” in a big way, and lots of money is being poured into the search for a permanent, universally effective treatment.

8.If no prevention treatments have the effect you desire, consider wigs, hair pieces, extensions or even hair transplantation.  Worry and distress over hair loss is not worth your time and effort, especially if it begins to affect your mood, your social life, and your general emotional well-being.
