Hair loss is a process that occurs everyday. On a single day you can lose
anywhere between fifty to hundred hair. But, since it is replaced everyday,
you hardly notice any difference. Alarm bells however, start ringing when the
rate of hair fall occurs faster than the rate of hair growth. This can lead
to depleting hair and eventually, baldness. But, there are methods you can
use to stop hair loss. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is by far the best solution
for natural hair loss prevention - eat a balanced diet, exercise well, sleep
well and avoid junk food and chemical treatments on your hair.
Intake of nutritional food is extremely important for natural hair loss prevention.
A healthy and balanced diet provides all the essential vitamins and minerals
for healthy hair growth. Natural hair loss prevention is possible if you include
diets rich in proteins, calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium, selenium, sulfur,
silica and zinc. Recent research has identified silica as one of the most essential
minerals required for keeping hair healthy and strong. It is also one of the
most important constituents of most commercially available hair growth and
hair loss prevention products. Regular and balanced intake of seafood, rice,
whole grains, soy, green vegetables, onions, meat, fish, brewer's yeast and
dairy products give you all the necessary vitamins and minerals to keep your
hair healthy. Also avoid junk food and caffeine.
Apart from food, cleansing and massaging of the scalp aid in healthy hair
growth. External cleansing removes dirt from the scalp and for serious hair
loss conditions, you may require internal detoxification of the body. Toxins
can adversely affect the body's systems thereby causing scalp diseases. Massaging
the scalp with aromatherapy oils is also an effective natural hair loss treatment.
Massaging stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles and helps to stop hair
loss. Oils must be chosen depending on the skin type and hair type, to give
maximum benefits. External applications of herbs such as henna, Aloe Vera and
homemade conditioners are also effective in natural hair loss treatment.
Exercising also plays a major role in natural hair loss prevention. Exercising
improves blood flow to all the systems of the body and keeps every organ healthy.
That indirectly has a positive effect on your hair. Sleep is essential for
the body to recuperate and this too has an indirect but positive effect on
your mane. Unless you have a major hair loss problem, resort only to natural
hair loss treatment. It has no side effects and regular treatment gives you
much better results than any commercial hair loss prevention product.
