Hair Loss Remedies for Men and Women
Regardless of your age, you need to be concerned about
your hair. The appearance and quantity of hair that you have is a reflection
of your internal health. You can use natural hair loss remedies to save your
hair. Of course, when you are young you have plenty of hair. But, there are
even some of you at an early age, twenties, start to lose your hair.
The appearance and quantity of hair that you have is a reflection of your
internal health.
Aside from a having a serious illness, your hair loss is affected by scalp
cleanliness, stress, diet, and excess DHT. Knowing this, you can check out
many hair loss remedies available to you.
Scalp cleanliness
If you have dandruff, you need to get rid of it. Dandruff can be a source of
hair loss when it combines with dirt, shampoo chemicals, excess sebum follicle
oil. Over time this combination of chemicals can create a film on your scalp
that hardens and start to plug up your hair follicles. Once plugged, your
follicles can't support hair growth.
Dandruff can be caused by excess stress, dry scalp, or
chemical irritations. Look to see if you have excess stress in your life and
find a way to reduce it. Chemical irritations can come from the shampoos that
you are using.
Look for shampoos and conditioners that have natural
ingredients. Start moving away from those hair products that have so many
petrochemicals and dyes. Petrochemicals are those ingredients that you are not
familiar with on the ingredient label - propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol,
methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and FD&C colorings.
Stress
Stress is a major contributors to many illnesses. It can also be the main
reason you can experience loss of hair. Many years I was under a lot of stress
at my new job. During the first 3 month there I experience excessive hair loss
on the top of my head.
When you have hair loss due to stress, you can recover
this hair if you take action right away. First look at your high stress level
and start reducing it. Next, start supplementing your diet with a good hair
loss nutritional supplement.
Diet
What you eat feeds your body. The type of body you have is based on what you
eat. If you do not provide enough nutrients to your body, you hair will not
receive enough nutrients to grow and be healthy. Your hair is last in line for
the nutrient you supply your body. One way to improve your diet is eat more
fruits in the morning and more vegetable for lunch and dinner. You can
consider eating natural food hair loss remedies.
DHT (di-hydro-testosterone)
When excessive amounts of testosterone are converted to DHT by the enzyme 5
alpha reductase, this DHT accumulates at the hair root where it blocks blood
circulation to that hair follicle. This decrease in blood to the hair root
weakens it and it loses its health.
DHT also accumulates in the follicle and starts to plug
it, thus further inactivating this hair follicle. The result is your hair
start to thin out.
For women, DHT formation is not a major activity until
menopause. Before menopause, estrogen blocks the formation of DHT. When
estrogen decreases after menopause, DHT starts to form causing hair loss in
women.
There are now shampoos that help to clean off
accumulated DHT from the scalp and from within the hair follicles. Use them to
stop hair loss and to recover some of the hair follicles that are still alive.
There are also some pills that block the formation of
DHT in the blood, but I don't recommend them since it is not known what the
longer term effects are of this blocking.
Go to google to find out more about DHT (di-hydro-testosterone) shampoos.
