Hair Loss Treatments That Work

What Causes Hair Loss? 

In the majority of cases, hair loss is simply hereditary and is passed down through genetics. As we start to age, we will see many genetic factors start to kick in. Although there is no cure for hereditary hair loss, the right treatments can help to slow or stop the process and even help to boost your hair’s natural growth pattern. 

 

Aside from the hereditary aspect, a few other things can cause hair loss, such as stress, medical conditions, and poor diet. Lifestyle and environmental factors can also play a part in hair loss. If you are experiencing hair loss, our experts have put together some tips to help prevent this problem so you can keep hold of as much of your hair as possible! 

 

How to Prevent Hair Loss 

 

Tip #1 -Avoid Tight Hairstyles 

If your go-to hairstyle on a busy day is to throw it up in a ponytail or maybe some tight braids, we get it! These are quick and easy solutions to keeping your hair neatly away from your face. The problem is research shows that the more you pull your hair away from your scalp, the looser your hair bonds will become.   

 

Tip #2 – Don’t Use Chemical Treatments or Bleach 

It’s essential to treat your hair with love, especially if you are already noticing hair loss. Our hair is made up mostly of keratin, so damaging the fibers leads to weak hair. Bleach and other chemical treatments break down the hair’s keratin fibers.  

 

Tip #3 – Avoid Heat Styling 

Although we all love the bouncy ringlets of curling irons and the smooth, sleek look of hair straighteners, heat styling can be a disaster if you are prone to hair loss or thinning. These kinds of heat tools damage the hair as they cause the moisture in your hair to expand, damaging the hair fibers. 

 

Tip #4 – Check Your Vitamin Intake 

A healthy diet with the right combination of vitamins and minerals is essential for healthy hair. Ensure your diet is balanced and includes the nutrients your hair needs to grow to its fullest potential. Vitamin B7 (biotin) is found naturally in foods like milk, eggs, nuts, seeds and avocado. It is widely thought to be one of the best vitamins for hair growth. You can also find dietary supplements and hair products with biotin, which could help with hair loss.
