How to Control Hair Loss and Increase Hair Growth Simultaneously?
Enough is enough!
You’re here, reading this, so obviously, you know what we are talking about.
Like so many people out there, you must be frustrated as hell watching your hair thin out so rapidly. But as we said, enough is enough! It’s time for things to change.
You will not be worried about hair loss anymore if you include a few simple things in your routine. In this article, we will be sharing some practices that might solve your problem.
The reason many of us have hair loss is that we neglect basic things. Those are things that we hear about all the time, but never care or make time to indulge in.
First, we suggest, talk to your doctor to find out what might be the reason for your hair fall. If your hair loss is not due to a specific disease or treatment of a certain disease, these simple and effective practices alone will show definite results that you can see for yourself.
Don’t worry, even if your hair loss is due to some medical reason, following these tips will not do anything bad. It would still work along with your medications to help you grow your hair back.
Read along to find out what these 5 basic things are and how to control your hair loss while increasing hair growth at the same time!
Believe us, it works!
1.Hairstyles
Tight hairstyles cause unnecessary friction and pulling force on the scalp. Wearing tight hairstyles regularly will make the hair undergo this stress repeatedly.
Eventually, the hair that gets the pulling force will be pulled off the scalp and over time, the hair in that particular area will start to thin out.
The hairline starts receding and the new hair that grows will also face the same friction. These baby hairs will also end up getting pulled out without mercy.
To avoid hair loss due to such reasons, go for a style that is loose around the scalp.
High ponytails, braids, protective hairstyles like cornrows and locks and tight up-dos like buns are the ones that mostly cause hair loss due to tightness.
If you go for these styles, make sure the part of the hair that faces the most tension is kept loose. This will ensure that your new baby hairs can grow in peace.
2.Head massage
A head massage is the best thing after a long day. It makes us feel relaxed and refreshed. The best part is, along with the pleasant sensations, it also helps us with the thing we are all struggling with. Hair loss.
Head massage increases the amount of blood that goes to your scalp. When the blood flow to the scalp increases, way more nutrients reach the scalp.
This ensures that more repair and regeneration processes are going on for the hair follicles. These will make your hair stronger and will reduce the amount of hair loss.
The hair follicles are thus rejuvenated and this helps the hair growth cycle. You will eventually experience more hair growth if you make a habit of massaging your head often.
P.S. If you have someone who can give you a head massage, that’s well and good. But even if you don’t, you can do it yourself by applying pressure over different points on your scalp with your fingers and slightly pulling or tugging your hair.
3.Hair oiling
If head massage is the cake, hair oiling is the cherry on top!
Our hair, like our skin, requires a lot of care. Oils are enriched with plenty of nutrients and vitamins. Applying oil to your scalp and hair will undoubtedly control your hair loss and increase hair thickness. Not just that, the overall health of your hair will improve. Oiling gives your hair more lustre, helps to combat dryness by keeping your scalp moisturised, and makes your hair smoother. Oils that you can use are Amla, Coconut, Almond, Castor, Olive, and Jojoba oil. There are plenty more that you can choose from, but these are the ones that are most widely used.
Amla, packed with Vit C, helps to repair the follicles while Coconut oil protects the hair from damage and strengthens it. Olive oil is high in antioxidant properties and protects the hair. Almond oil, on the other hand, is enriched with Vit E that nourishes the scalp and promotes hair growth.
Each one has its own properties. It is best to switch between the oils from time to time to get the benefits of them all.
4.Hair spa
The best ways to get beautiful, thick and salon-like conditioned hair are actually quite inexpensive.
These hair spa techniques come for cheap but make our hair look classy. No kidding.
There are simple remedies that you can try every weekend, right from the comfort of your home.
The list of materials that help to improve hair health include things like onion juice, eggs, honey and yoghurt. These items contain all the necessary nutrients needed to reduce hair loss. They have a protective effect on the scalp and hair. They promote hair growth by healing and repairing the hair follicles.
Option 1: Grind an onion and squeeze its juice into a container. Apply this juice and leave it on for 10-20 mins. Rinse it off.
Option 2: Mix an egg, a few tablespoons of curd and honey in a bowl for an amazing hair mask. Apply it to your hair and leave it on for about 30 mins and wash it off. This is the best hair spa treatment that you can get for free.
For other benefits like moisturising, or bringing lustre to your hair, you can apply an aloe vera mask or rinse your hair with green tea.
5.Healthy eating
There is another way to help our scalp and hair get nutrition. That is, by eating well. In this fast-paced world, we have to make time for everything. Right from checking emails, paying bills, to wearing makeup. But sometimes we tend to forget the most important of all. Healthy eating.
Eating outside or bringing home some takeout is good for the tongue but not the body. If you simply switch to foods with proteins, vitamins and minerals, you will see remarkable changes in your body. This includes hair too.
Including plenty of proteins, vitamins (especially, Vit B, C and E), minerals like Zinc, Selenium and Magnesium in your diet will help to reduce hair loss. These are also known to have a positive effect on hair growth and improve overall health.
Raw veggies and green salads, fruits and berries, nuts and seeds are the healthiest things on the planet!
You will know why they are called so once you start eating them regularly.
Follow these basic practices and you will see a dramatic improvement in your hair health.
Of course, the quickest and most convenient way is to wear a wig. A properly fitted wig can take a lot of the hassle away and is a much lower investment than a hair transplant. UniWigs offers you the best hair toppers for women, there is always one for you.
