Products for Hair Loss: Stop Counting Hairs in the Sink
Make no mistake about it. Some hair loss is not preventable. Every one of us loses 100-150 hairs a day in the natural cycle of hair growth and death. It is normal and should not be cause for concern. Further, larger amounts of hair loss can occur at specific times in life – illness, surgery, pregnancy, life-changing events, anxiety and stress, and certain diseases. Again, these are treatable and, in most cases, temporary. More-than-normal hair loss can be prevented in several ways:
1. Keep your body healthy. Body health translates into scalp health and allows follicles to continue to produce hair to replace that which is lost. Good diet and exercise, to increase blood circulation are really important.
2. Be kind to your hair. Stop hurting it. Procedures such as coloring, excessive blowdrying, harsh shampoos and permanents will cause hair loss. These harsh treatments stress and scar your scalp – and if under stress, your scalp will produce less hair.
3. Get rid of as much stress as you can. You’ve heard it before – and it’s true: stress can cause hair loss! If you work or live in a stressful environment then you should find an outlet for that stress, such as exercise, yoga or meditation. Too much stress can have a real negative impact on your overal health, so if you are used to living with stress then you may have larger health issues looming on the horizon if you don’t do something to relieve it soon.
4. Find and use a good topical treatment for your scalp. Herbs, essential oils and combinations of these and nutrients will help to keep hair follicles open and producing hair.
5. Use medical products. Many are developed by a variety of pharmaceutical companies, both in lotion and pill form. Among those available, Provillus offers the number one solution that has proven effective for the greatest number of users.
6. Do not delay. The sooner you get started the more you will have to work with. Your first move should be to confirm that your hair loss is not associated with any of the larger health issues listed above; pay a visit to your doctor. Once you have confirmed this then attack the search for a hair loss product that works for you with everything you’ve got. Find one, and stick with it – they can sometimes take up to three months of use to show posative results. the sooner you start, the better off you’ll be.
7. Never give up. Always be on the lookout for new advances in hair loss research, but keep using the product that works best for you now. Medical research into the causes and cures for hair loss is ongoing and aggressive – permanent, effective treatments get better every year.
If after following the steps above you still can’t find a product that delivers the results you’re looking for, then you might consider a wig, toupe, hair piece, extension or even hair transplant. These are all last resorts and some can be very expensive. If hair loss is causing you a great deal of pain or affecting your sense of well-being you owe it to yourself to find a remedy that works for you.
