Promote Hair Growth with Lifestyle Changes

With so many options it can be a bit daunting choosing a Hair loss Shampoo.  The most useful advice I can give is to steer clear of products that contain a lot of harmful chemicals.  When choosing a hair loss shampoo you want to stick to the most natural product available.  Combining a good lifestyle with your hair loss shampoo can bring drastic results as well.  Here are a few tips that can help you on your way to a full and lush set of hair.

1)      Eat more protein rich foods.  One of the major components in hair is Keratin which is made by protein.  Protein also helps in the development of blood cells.  Red blood cells help in carrying oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. In the case of insufficient calories the body uses protein as a fuel source so that the machine is always running and sufficient oxygen and nutrients are supplied to the maintenance of your hair follicles.

2)      Hats and wigs. The belief that wearing hats causes balding is actually a myth.  The human head loses around 100 hair follicles a day.  After a while these hair build up in your cap giving the impression that you are losing a lot of hair.  Even though it is a myth there is some truth behind it.  Hats can cause hair loss if not used properly.  A hat that is too tight can cut off circulation to your hair follicles resulting in hair loss.  Wigs and hairpieces may also damage your hair follicles. Keep a look out for dirty caps as well.  A dirty cap can lead to a scalp infection, which can accelerate hair loss. 

3)      Take care of the hair you have.  Try washing your hair sparingly.  Try using a hair loss shampoo two to three times a week.  Anymore than that can be excessive.  Also consider using a hair loss shampoo hat does not contain sulfates or parabens. Beides being harmful to the environment these chemicals don’t add much to the health of your hair.

4)      Reduce your stress.  One of the causes of hair loss is stress.  When I say stress I am not referring to the stress one feels when they are late to work or when a report is due.  No the stress I speak of is more chronic one that is always lingering not allowing for a moment of peace.  Stress has been linked to three types of hair loss. 

·         Telogen effluvium:  Constant stress causes a large amount of hair follicles into a resting phase. At this phase hair is not growing, after a few months one can see a large amount of hair suddenly fall out while combing or showering.

·         Trichotillomania:  This is a condition which causes a person to pull out their own hair due to stress.  This constant pulling of hair follicles may damage the roots permanently not allowing for hair to grow back. Case may be so extreme that people start to pull hair off any part of the body, ranging anywhere from eyelashes to body hair. 

·         Alopecia areata.  Chronic stress has been linked with Alopecia areata, in which the bodies own immune system start to attack hair follicles resulting in hair loss.

So remember, at the end of the day just take better care of your body.  Yes hair loss is also associated with genes but by using these helpful tips along with a Hair Loss Shampoo the odds are in your favor.
