The most common form of hair loss in men is by far male pattern baldness. When you suffer from this condition, the hair on your head progressively gets thinner and thinner (this may take years) until it is lost completely. It is called “pattern baldness” because hair is usually lost in a well-defined “M” shape.There is a variety of causes contributing to hair loss. However, according to medical studies, in males the predominant cause is the excess level of the hormone. DHT plays a role in the development of male secondary characteristics but an increased level of DHT leads to so-called follicular miniaturization, by which the hair shaft width is constantly decreased and the hair becomes thinner. Previously it was thought that baldness was inherited but there is no definitive proof that this is the case.Until recently, the prevalent approach to stopping hair loss was to use such chemical prescription drugs. However, it turned out that these drugs do not always help and have many side effects including erectile dysfunction, acne, headaches and others. While these synthetic chemicals help some patients, I wouldn’t risk losing growing with my hair!Fortunately, when it comes to regaining lost hair and preventing hair loss, there is an alternative to synthetic drugs. There are natural treatments, which work just as well or even better and what is more importantly, they don’t have any side effects. Some of them can even give you permanent results. Finally, the ingredients contained in natural hair loss treatments have been used by humans for millennia. This proves their effectiveness better than medical research, doesn’t it?
When you start finding your hair strands floating under the shower after shampooing or when you find that your comb has more hair than your head, there is a pretty good chance that you are facing the problem of hair loss. If stress, lack of balanced diet, irregular sleeping patterns or the wrong choice of hair-care products has landed you in excessive loss of hair, then you can probably find a cure for the problem. On the other hand, if you are genetically predisposed to hair loss, you would rather have to keep your fingers crossed, because baldness can strike you any day. However, you can always prevent hair loss in both the cases completely, or at least reduce the number of strands falling off. Here in this article, we have provided some surefire solutions to prevent hair loss.
Overuse of hair dyes, hairdryer and curling iron can aggravate the problem of hair loss, leading to baldness. Hence, do not use such products on a regular basis, if you are facing the problem of excessive loss of hair. In case you are coloring your hair on a regular basis, be sure to leave a gap of at least 6 to 8 weeks between each session. This will prevent hair loss. Let your hair turn gray naturally. After all, it is better to sport gray hair than baldness. Tight hairstyles such as braids, buns and ponytails can also lead to hair loss. The best way to prevent hair loss is to adopt easy hairstyle. Hair follicles are made of protein. Therefore, it is advisable to eat a diet rich in protein. Include protein-rich food such as low-fat cheese, eggs, almond, beans sprouts, fish, seafood and yogurt in your diet. Soy milk and tofu are smart additions to the diet, as they are enriched with protein. Calcium is another important nutrient for strengthening the hair follicles and roots in your scalp. Hence, include food rich in calcium in your diet. The next thing to a balanced diet is sound sleep. Do not compromise with seven hours of sleep, because irregular sleeping pattern is one of the leading causes for hair loss. Therefore, make sure that you sleep enough and on time. Hair care products should be chosen carefully, because they would directly affect the growth of your hair. Never use harsh shampoos, conditioners or stylizing products, because they would have a negative effect on the growth of your hair on account of prolonged use. If any such product causes hair loss, visit a dermatologist and some products that are suitable for your hair. Alcohol and tobacco are the root causes for majority of hair loss problems. Hence, quit habits such as smoking and consumption of alcohol. Certain medications can also lead to hair loss. Therefore, consult your physician in case any medicine causes the heavy loss of hair. Try to use hair care products that have organic ingredients, like the herbal ones. Since such products contain less harsh chemicals, they are often suggested to people suffering from the problem of hair loss.When this happens you may become terrified at losing your good hair. So before this happens you can take some precautions to prevent hair loss so that your hair does not fall out rapidly. It is common to lose between up to 100 hair strands everyday, but beyond that it is not. Hair loss can occur at any age for men, women, or children.One of the main reasons that I have seen people lose hair rapidly is because of stress. Stress is really a number one killer creating many diseases that become terminal. But what stress does is to use up a lot of minerals and vitamins that the body needs for good health. The first place minerals and vitamins are taken is from the hair. Stress uses up nutrients so that none go to nourish your hair. The result is your hair loses strength and starts to fall out.Prevent Hair loss
