BLG Health-How To Prevent Hair Loss

Baldness or hair loss is one of the most
dreaded situations people can find
themselves into. This is because this will not
only affect their overall physical appearance
but can also affect their emotional status
as well.

Experts categorize hair loss into two
types—the permanent hair loss and the
temporary hair loss.

Permanent hair loss is associated with
hereditary factors. People who have a
bloodline that is prone to baldness cannot
do much anything about it since it is in
their genes.

The pattern baldness or androgenetic
alopecia can affect both men and women.
In men, pattern baldness can lead to
thinning hair and receding of hairlines even
at an early age. Eventually, this condition
may lead them to total or partial baldness.
In women, pattern baldness may come
at a much later age and does not lead
them to total baldness. Usually, the thinning
hair manifests at their temples and hairlines.

When it comes to temporary baldness, it
can be caused by certain factors such as
illnesses, taking in medications for
certain conditions, undergoing medical
treatments wherein the drug that was
used takes too much toll on the hair,
hormonal changes which can either be
caused by pregnancy or by taking in
birth control pills, hairstyles that put too
much pressure on the scalp and stops
it from growing new strands of hair,
and using hair products and treatments
that may irritate the scalp and affect
healthy hair growth.

Prevention as the key

People who have risks for pattern
baldness cannot stop the condition but
can slower the rate of hair loss through
various treatments. But for those who
are undergoing temporary hair loss,
prevention can be the key to avoid
total baldness in the long run. The
following are some of the tips that
can help prevent hair loss:

1. Proper diet.

Having a diet that is balanced is one of
the major keys to prevent excessive hair
loss. Eating foods that are nutritious
especially for the hair can be an effective
tool to fight against the signs of hair loss.
People who are experiencing hair loss
because they are under nourished should
take time to make a diet plan which can
provide sufficient nutrients not only for
the hair but for the overall health as well.

2. Developing good hair habits.

Unhealthy hair habits such as improper
handling of the hair can lead to excessive
hair loss. People—especially those who
have sensitive scalp—should ensure
that they handle their hair gently especially
when it’s wet. Proper handling to wet hair
is very important because the hair is
weaker when wet. If possible, opt for
natural air drying methods instead of
using electronic ones such as blower.

3. Stick to one hairstyle for a longer 
    period of time.

This will really help you prevent hair loss
because you are letting your hair undergo
its normal growth cycle. If possible, try to
avoid hairstyles that are tight like buns,
ponytails, or braids because these put too
much pressure on the scalp and hinder it
from growing.

4. Don’t twist, rub or pull your hair.

People who experience hair loss are those
who twist, rub, or pull their hair often. If it
has become a habit, try to break it. You
can do this by focusing on other things
instead of putting too much pressure

on your hair and on your scalp.
