Problems with thinning hair and hair loss have long been a nuisance for men all over the world. Unfortunately, more and more women are now experiencing this unwanted condition. But unlike men, who mostlyexperience hair loss at the crown or getting fully bald, women only experience generalized hair thinning and total baldness is rare.
Many people think that hair care means keeping hair clean, soft and shiny. Well, your hair will do great if you do this but don’t forget all the hair you see is actually dead or is not alive. The only thing living in hair is the actual cells that produce it. These cells are locatedunderneath the scalp, below the hair follicles to be exact and the cells are very active and constantly multiplying, producing about half an inch of hair every month. This means that scalp care is also an essential partin keeping the hair healthy, thus preventing hair loss.
Another critical aspect in stopping hair loss is providing the hair follicles with proper nutrients. Since, our hair is mostly made of keratin, a protein, it is important to consume foods high in protein like lean meat, fish and soya. Providing the hair follicles with aconstant supply of protein from your diet ensures constant and healthy hair growth.
Massaging the scalp regularly is also advisable. This improves the circulation of blood to the scalp, thus increasing the amount of nutrients brought to the follicles. Also oxygenation improves, further boosting the fast growing hair producing cells.
To fight the effects of androgenetic alopecia, topical hair loss treatment products should be used. These treatments are specially made to stop the harmful effects of DHT or dihydrotestosterone on the scalp. DHT is a hormone naturally produced in the body, unfortunately, it the number one cause of hair loss. Using a topical hair loss treatment help shield the hair follicles from this hormone, hence treating or preventing hair loss.
