subject: Combating Hair Loss In Ways More Than One [print this page] Who doesnt want a good head of hair? The answer to this question is the same for everyone. However, it is one thing to want and a completely different thing to have. In this day and age of excessive stress and fast paced lifestyles, it is impossible to maintain a good head of hair. There can be various reasons that may lead to hair loss and damage.
The causes for hair loss may be internal or external or both. The lack of certain nutrients in the body may lead to hair fall. Hair loss is also caused by excessive worries and tension. We usually lose about 50 strands of hair every day but that hair grows back. We start noticing this cycle only when the process slows down and hair takes time to re-grow. Hair starts thinning and little bald patches show up on the scalp.
As hair loss is prevalent in a lot of people these days, the markets are flooded with hair care and hair loss products. You can stop hair from falling by treating your hair and scalp carefully. Research says that excess sebum or oil secretion of the scalp results in hair fall. Excess sebum softens the hair roots, making hair fall. Dandruff and scalp infection may also be a reason as to why we lose hair. For such reasons, hair care products like non-chemical shampoos, scalp lotions and medicated shampoos and tonics may be helpful.
For reasons like, stress and insomnia, it is advisable to change your diet. The inclusion of food rich in vitamins, A, D, E and B complex is very important. Inclusion of proteins, iron and green leafy vegetables is also advisable. The diet should ideally exclude oily and spicy food. An intake of a good quantity of water is highly recommended.
Ayurvedic or herbal treatment is apt for those who do not want to spend too much on hair care products. These herbal products and remedies are recommended for those who do not want to damage their hair any further. Also, if you want to stop hair fall you must stop using harmful chemicals in the guise of shampoos, conditioners and other such hair products. Do not use heat to dry, straighten, perm or style your hair. Even hair coloring is harmful for the hair. Many kinds of medication might also lead to hair loss, in such cases get in touch with your physician.
