Tips For Preventing Hair Loss

If you are a person who is experiencing the early stages of hair loss or know that it runs through your family and might happen to you, you likely want to take every step that you can to make sure that it doesn't proceed. Here are some tips for preventing hair loss.

1. Brush to Stimulate Your Scalp

Make sure that you are brushing in the correct manner because doing so will allow you to stimulate your scalp and encourage hair growth, as well as keep you from accidentally pulling out any of your hair. To brush correctly, take your brush and put it at the top of your scalp. Then, slowly move the hair brush down, allowing the bristles of the brush to touch your scalp and give you a slight massage. The brush distributes the natural oils in your hair from the top of your head, where they tend to collect, and the rest of your hair.

By distributing the oils through your hair, you will be able to reduce the chances that you will experience dry hair. Dry hair is weaker hair. If your hair is weak, it is more likely to fall out. You can also accidentally dry out your hair by applying too much heat in the form of styling tools.

Be sure that you are using a brush that has natural bristles because these tend to be less likely to tear at your hair and rip it out.

2. Don't Dye Your Hair

It might seem like a great idea to bleach your hair and then dye it blue, but you need to recognize that you are damaging your hair. Bleaching your hair is going to seriously dry your hair out and weaken it. This could lead to it falling out more quickly. To be safe, skip dying your hair and leave it its natural color.

If you are especially worried about hair loss, go entirely natural. Don't blow-dry or iron your hair because this will lead to it drying out as well.

3. Use Gentle Shampoo

Finally, find a shampoo that matches your hair type and is gentle. This will allow you to take care of the hair that you have left as well as possible and keep you from damaging it any more.

If you find yourself in the later stages of hair loss, don't wait. Be sure that you go to see a hair transplant specialist like one from PAI Medical Group Edmonton hair transplants as soon as possible in order to give you your confidence and your full head of hair back.
