Is your hair brush filling up each time you use it? Is your shower clogged up every time you step in? Are you starting to see your scalp through your hair? Are you freaking out? You're not alone! This situation isn't easy for anyone, but, thankfully, it can be easy to remedy. The tips below will help you stop the hair from falling out and possibly even allow it to start regrowing.
When it comes to losing your hair, it boils down to three things. The first is genetics, a battle you can never win. If thin hair or hair loss is in your family tree, then you will be at a disadvantage. That said, you can do many things to make your hair thicker and fuller, so even though Dad is bald and Mom has thin hair, you can lead a different life. Keep this hope in mind as you continue reading this article!
The second factor which plays a huge role in hair thickness and regrowth is diet. In the United States, diets are focused on sodium, sugar, refined carbohydrates and oil. This leads to insulin resistance, which then leads to hair loss. Eating a natural diet made up mostly of fresh vegetables, whole grains, minimal salt and fat, and lean proteins typically leads to thicker, fuller hair. At best, this will slow down the progression of baldness. At best, your hair might even start growing again.
The third factor in hair thinning and balding is how you treat your hair and scalp. Dry hair will break and fall out, and a dry or smothered scalp will also be less likely to hold onto hair follicles. If you wear a hat all day, every day, take it off! Let your scalp breathe. Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo once a day, don't overdo it. Also, use a conditioner which is natural so that your hair can be moisturized without clogging up your follicles. Always rinse your hair thoroughly after applying any shampoo or conditioner, cleaning your scalp. A good scalp massage in the shower can do wonders, too. If you wear your hair back in tight hairstyles, like cornrows or a tight ponytail, that can also do damage to your scalp. Lastly, avoid using hair product like gel or mousse except for special occasions.
An amazingly simple, affordable and tasty way to help your scalp is through the application of apple cider vinegar. This amazing remedy can clear up fungal infections in a snap, and this can help keep your scalp healthy. Two tablespoons of vinegar mixed with a pinch of cayenne pepper is a great remedy for a man's scalp. Use it before shampooing and conditioning in the shower. This balances the pH of the scalp, ensuring that hair can grow naturally and fully.
These tips, when used together, will help you keep your hair looking as you wish it to. While thinning hair or hair loss can be embarrassing, you can help ease the problem and slow its progression. The more effort you put into curbing this issue, the more quickly you'll see results. Good luck!
