The Top 5 Ways to Fight Hair Loss

In this article, we'll tackle the top 5 ways you can fight hair loss . We all lose hair every day. Many of us shed about 100 hairs a day without noticing it. This hair is then replaced by hair that grows from hair follicles in the skin.

However, sometimes hair loss occurs when excessive hair falls out because hair follicles are destroyed and new hair doesn't grow back as quickly as it should. In other cases, people may notice hair thinning or bald spots because their hair has stopped growing but has not fallen out yet.

In both men and women, hair loss from damaged hair follicles appears to be caused by a combination of heredity and hormones. Men typically have more testosterone than women do, which makes hair loss more likely for them than women. Hormones such as thyroid hormone and insulin may also play a role in hair loss.

According to the American Hair Loss Association, hair loss is the most common problem among men and one of the most common problems among women. In children, hair fall is considered normal and will usually resolve on its own without treatment.

The good news is that there are many things you can do to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

Here we will go over what works and what doesn't when it comes to hair loss Prevention

1) Minoxidil (Rogaine/Regaine) - this topical solution has been proven to work well in clinical trials, but results vary from person to person. The hair loss will come back after you stop using it, and hair growth is only possible as long as the solution is applied.

2) Laser Comb - this hair loss product has been shown to work in some users, but results vary . In clinical trials, only about 15% of people who used a laser comb experienced hair regrowth. It's also very expensive, costing around $800 for a six-month supply.

3) Electrolysis - works by removing hair permanently with a needle or electric current . This treatment can be painful and side effects include permanent scarring and dark spots on the skin if done incorrectly. Because electrolysis removes hair at the root, it can take several treatments over the course of several months to see the hair fall out.

4) Hair Transplantation - hair restoration surgery involves removing hair follicles from one part of your body and transplanting them onto bald or thinning areas of the scalp. Surgeons can remove hair follicles from other parts of your body, usually from the back or sides of the head, but this is more painful, time consuming, costly , and doesn't always work . Results are best if you have existing hair in these areas that surgeons can remove safely. In cases when hair cannot be harvested from elsewhere on a person's head, hair grafts can be taken from animal hair instead.

This process costs about $5k per session and takes multiple sessions before results are achieved.

5) Natural hair regrowth products - hair loss happens when hair follicles are damaged and hair growth becomes increasingly difficult. Nutrients found in food can help stimulate hair growth by strengthening hair to prevent breakage. Some of these nutrients include Omega 3 acids which increase blood flow, zinc for better gland function , vitamin Bs which strengthen hair roots , and iron for increased oxygen flow .

Take a daily multivitamin, eat foods rich in the nutrients listed above, and protect your hair from heat damage using styling tools that won't fry or burn it . It's also important to be gentle with your hair as you go about your daily routine (i.e., don't tie your hair too tight). If still think you're experiencing more hair fall than usual, consult your doctor to determine if hair loss is a symptom of an underlying medical condition.

On average, hair grows about half an inch per month. If you want to keep track of when your hair may be falling out naturally, put it in a braid or ponytail for 7 days. At the end of the week, let it down and check how much hair has fallen out. Remember that hair loss is normal in many cases , so don't stress if your hair falls out more often than not!

If done properly you can certainly prevent hair loss with these methods... But remember: focus on healthy hair regrowth first rather than trying to stop hair from eventually leaving your head . Stress and other factors can also speed up hair loss, so it's important to stay calm and healthy in order to ensure hair stays on your head.
