There are many causes of hair loss and research shows that some of the main causes are anxiety and stress. Some people experience hair loss due to hormonal insufficiency while others are caused by heredity factors. In addition, people who often use hair products that contain harmful chemicals are more prone to balding.
To prevent baldness, avoid combing your hair when wet because wet hair is weak. Combing wet hair may increase the risk of it falling so make sure to dry your hair first before combing. In addition, do not use a comb that has sharp tips and use wide-toothed combs.
It is important to treat your hair gently to prevent hair loss. Your diet plays an important role in maintaining healthy hair. It is recommended to eat green and leafy vegetables as well as fresh fruits in order to provide your body the essential nutrients and vitamins and minerals that can help prevent hair loss.
You can also use different herbs that can help maintain your hair. There are a lot of herbs used for a healthy scalp such as amalaki, shikakai, mehndi, brahmi and bhringaraj. These herbal medicines have been utilized for many centuries to strengthen the roots of the hair, making them shinier and healthier.
Another way to prevent hair loss is massaging the head with medicated gel, cream or oil. A head massage on a regular basis can help maintain the hair healthy as it improves blood circulation.
If hair loss is due to heredity, it may be difficult to find prevention. However, there are modern medical methods to help patients that suffer from hair loss such as a hair transplant. Other natural hair prevention techniques include the following:
1. Make sure to keep your hair clean in order to protect it from itching, dandruff and hair lice that can eventually result to hair loss.
2. Choose shampoo and hair conditioner according to hair type. For instance, if you have oily hair, it is recommended to use a shampoo that is particularly for oily hair.
3. For dandruff control, mix camphor cubes with coconut oil and massage it on your scalp. Another option is rubbing lime on the scalp. Leave it for about ten minutes and shampoo your hair afterwards. It is recommended to use medicated shampoo for dandruff and apply oil on your hair in order to prevent dandruff.
4. After taking a shower, keep the hair wrapped in a towel for about five to ten minutes and let it dry naturally. As much as possible, do not use hair dryer too often as it damages your hair texture, making it weak.
