Preventing Hair Loss

Depending on thecause of hair loss, there are several things you can do to avoid it.  However, if the cause of your hair loss is associated with heredity, these pointers most likely will yield no results.  None of these things are guaranteed to stop hair loss: however, if you are experiencing hair loss, and the cause is not due to heredity, these are preventative tips worth trying. 

The first thing to do to avoid hair loss is to try and keep your stress levels down.  Hair is the first thing within us that reacts to stress.  Therefore, it weakens when stress levels rise.  If you practice keeping your stress under control with methods such as exercise, yoga, meditation, and plenty of sleep, this preventative measure should bring you some results. 

Avoid over using hair dyes, other chemical treatments, irons, and blow dryers.  Although these things are alright in moderation, it is not healthy for the hair, and the outcome can be damaged hair. 

Diet is important in the prevention of hair loss.  Be sure to eat a balanced diet and get enough calcium, protein, and water on a daily basis. 

Conditioning your hair each time you wash it is also an important practice.  Additionally, avoiding hair styles that require a lot of pulling and brushing of the hair is suggested.  The pulling of the hair stretches these hairs, sometimes causing damage. 

These are just a few suggestions of things to do to avoid hair loss.  Try them out and let us know what you think in the forum.
