Want
to achieve healthier hair? Here's what you can do.
It
is important to understand that in 95% of people,
hair loss is inherited. Specifically, it’s the genetic
coding that hair follicles receive during formation
in the womb. These hair loss genes make certain
hair follicles sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone,
or DHT. When this link is made, the hair follicles
begin to shrink. However there are some things that
we can do to keep our hair healthy. Below are some
tips that you can use to help keep your existing
hair healthy and looking great. The only thing they
require is your time and commitment.
- A
proper haircut alone can make a vast difference
in the appearance of thinning hair and helps promote
healthy regrowth.
- When
using blow dryers, always keep the heat a good
distance from your scalp and hair.
- Avoid
heating the scalp and hair excessively.
- Avoid
getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and
sprays directly on the scalp. Use a light spray
if you must.
- After
swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon
as possible to remove any chorine residue. Chlorine
is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.
- Avoid
over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind
and sun.
- Avoid
tight hats and caps, as they contribute to poor
circulation, depriving the hair of proper nutrition.
Sweat, dirt and grime around the rim inhibit follicle
health and contribute to build-up.
- Always
consult your trichologist for extreme fallout
and thinning.
- Strive
for balance and harmony in both your personal
and profession lifestyle. High factors can cause
our body to react by fluctuating hormone levels.
This can result in hair loss.
- Avoid
“crash and fad” diets. Proper nutritious meals
along with vitamin and mineral supplements are
a key factor for healthy hair and skin.
- Comb
or brush your hair and scalp daily but gently.
