As we grow older, people start getting more concerned about hair loss regardless of gender. Hair loss can be caused by both age and heredity conditions. What treatments are most effective depends on the underlying reason of your hair loss so that one can slow or stop it in a variety of ways. As such, here are some tips and tricks to slow the process down.
- Eating Extra Protein
Dietary inadequacies can be linked to hair loss. Several patients with hair loss had inadequate protein and amino acid consumption, according to a 2017 study. While further research is needed, researchers believe that consuming a high-protein diet can help prevent hair loss. Eggs, almonds, beans & peas, fish, low-fat dairy products, chicken, and turkey are all good choices so start incorporating more of these into your meals today!
- Supplements & Vitamins
Taking vitamins is part of the daily routine of millions of people worldwide. Vitamins A, B, C, D, iron, selenium, and zinc are all vital for hair development and retention, particularly cell turnover, according to scientists. Daily multivitamins can be found in most grocery stores and drugstores, or you can ask your doctor to prescribe a series that is customized and best suited for your health needs.
- Be Gentle With Your Hair
When brushing and combing your hair, use a detangler and avoid tugging, especially if your hair is wet. A wide-toothed comb can help prevent hair from being pulled out. Hot rollers, curling irons, hot-oil treatments, and permanents should all be avoided as much as possible. Rubber bands, barrettes, and braids can cause a lot of tension on your hair that may lead to hair loss. Thus, use hair bands that can be snipped off after usage or tie your hair loosely to prevent excessive tugging.
- Taking Hair Loss Medication
When things take a drastic turn, several over-the-counter treatments for preventing hair loss are available. Minoxidil is the go-to treatment for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, according to a 2019 review of studies. Be sure to check with your doctor before purchasing or consuming OTC (Over the counter) medications.
Taking proper care of the hair and scalp can help prevent hair loss while improving hair growth. Hair loss can be very frequent, especially in people who have pattern baldness. There are various choices available to anyone looking for a treatment to help prevent or regrow hair. Each option’s effectiveness will differ from person to person. Before beginning a new hair loss treatment or if you are looking to take some supplements, consult a doctor for your next steps first!
