7 Tips To Prevent Hair Loss
Many people suffer from hair loss without finding a solution, as the problem can be related to many factors such as genetics, hormones, stress, diet, among others. Today we’ll talk about 7 tips to prevent hair loss.
In addition, we must stimulate the scalp so that the hair grows faster and healthier.
Can we stop hair loss?
Each case is different and it is necessary to make a personalized diagnosis to discover, first, what is the cause of the disorder.
These are usually temporal issues related to a poor diet, a period of stress or a change in thyroid hormones, so we must seek a personalized treatment that is effective and appropriate.
Other times it can be an important health problem or even a genetic inheritance, which are more difficult issues to be resolved. However, if we follow these tips with discipline, we can see an important improvement in a short time.
These tips are also ideal for those people who do not suffer from hair loss, but want the strands to grow faster and stronger.
1. Relax the scalp
Nowadays we suffer from tensions of all kinds and in any part of the body. One of these areas, even though it may surprise us, is the scalp.
This tension hinders or prevents good blood flow to the hair root, which can cause hair loss, weakening, gray strands, excess oil, dandruff, among others.
The first step in fighting these tensions is to massage your scalp every day. It should not be a superficial massage, but a little more intense, trying to move and relax the entire surface.
This is a very relaxing massage and perfect if it is done for 5 or 10 minutes every day before bed.
2. Stimulate hair with mint and cinnamon
When performing this scalp massage, we can maximize its effects using some natural product that helps us to stimulate blood flow. A very simple option is to use two essential oils with stimulant properties: mint and cinnamon.
Both oils promote circulation, but with the opposite effect. Mint adds freshness, while cinnamon heats up. By combining them, we get a very beneficial hot-cold effect.
We should always use oils in small amounts and together with a moisturizing base:
- 2 scoops of aloe vera gel or extra virgin coconut oil (30 g)
- 5 drops of mint essential oil
- 5 drops of cinnamon essential oil
3. Choose natural products
If we want to take care of any part of the body, we must always choose the most natural hygiene and cosmetic products possible.
In the case of hair, we should mainly avoid those that contain preservatives (parabens) and very strong sulfates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES).
We can find natural or ecological products in natural food stores or even in pharmacies.
4. Do your hair every day
It seems like something very obvious, but combing it is a way to improve circulation to the scalp and distribute the oil well, so that you have shinier and more balanced hair.
We should use suitable combs made of natural materials such as wood with bristles of plant or animal origin.
Comb in all directions and every day.
5. Don’t miss out on nutrients
It is essential to follow a balanced diet, rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and fatty acids to provide the ingredients our hair needs.
The following foods cannot be missing from our diet:
- Dried fruits and seeds.
- Raw fruits and vegetables.
- Vegetables.
- Fishes
- Eggs
- gh
- Algae
- sea water or sea salt
- Brewer’s yeast
6. Put yourself upside down
Inverted postures in which the head is below the rest of the body are very beneficial for health and, indeed, for preventing hair loss.
We can do a simple posture, lie down on an incline or use a specific gym machine.
It will be enough to stay in the position for 5 or 10 minutes a day, starting gradually. We should avoid doing this during digestion or menstruation.
7. Say goodbye to stress
Finally, don’t forget that stress is one of the worst health problems we can have, as it unbalances the entire body and causes various disorders, including hair loss.
