Stop Hair Loss

Hair growth naturally occurs in cycles where each strand of hair grows over two to six years. During this 6 years, the individual hair growth is approximately ½ inch a month. At the end of this period, a strand of hair will eventually die and it’s place taken up by the growth of a replacement from the hair follicle. Usually, about 90 per cent of your hair is within the growth period while the remaining 10 per cent is dormant or dying. So typically, your daily hair loss is about 100-150 strands a day, which if true, is not a real problem!

However, if you are experiencing a higher than normal hair loss count, you should take a look at a few things. It is better to diagnose and correct the issue now rather than to wait until the hair loss is noticeable by others, while making it slightly embarrassing to you.

The main points to look out for are:

1. Diet.

If you do not eating a balanced and proper diet, your entire body will be affected, and will definitely affect your hair growth. Do note that certain proteins, minerals, and oils are very important for normal hair growth and overall health.

2. Stress.

Anxiety and stress are very common causes of hair loss in many people. While some stress cannot be avoided, you should take some steps to reduce their impact on your body. Regular exercise is a great stress relief method as well as developing some relaxation techniques, such as breathing therapy, Yoga, or meditation.

3. Symptom of a disease 

Lupus and Diabetes are two common causes of hair loss. Check with your doctor especially when hair loss appears to have no other cause. Diabetes and Lupus are more dangerous than the hair loss they cause.

4. Family History

Hair loss, especially pattern hair loss could be a result of heredity from both your parent’s sides. This cause cannot be reversed unfortunately.

5. Infections of the scalp

Infections of the scalp can cause hair loss too. Very commonly, you will see the signs of these on your scalp. You should have them diagnosed and treated!

6. Harsh chemicals.

Some shampoos can cause itchy, dry, and scaly scalps, and those conditions can cause hair loss. Usually these shampoos contain certain chemicals that may not agree with your scalp thereby causing problems. Frequent dyes and perms, and dry heat (blow dryers and curling irons) can also do damage to your hair.

If you find that you are doing everything correctly and have no diseases or scalp issues, you may want to try other remedies, such as:

1. Medicines developed specifically for hair loss. There are a many types of creams, pills, and ointments available to try. Everyone is different and what works for others may not necessarily work for you. You will need to trial  and error to find one that works best for you.

2. Natural remedies. Most of these include essential oils, such as, concentrated oils from specific plants. Provillus is a great example of this method of hair loss treatment. Provillus is an oral supplement that works to block DHT, which is a form of testosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of hair loss. It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring those dead follicles back to life. You may use Provillus as a preventative aid by starting the program before hair loss turns severe, else you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp.

3. Surgery: There are a variety of procedures available today but are quite expensive and could take several visits over several months while possibly depleting your bank account reserves!

Review your options, and get several consultations before making a decision. Go for the least expensive and lifestyle change options first. If they work, you have saved yourself a lot of time and money. However don’t sit on the situation too long as hair loss can be a symptom of something more serious.
