Natural Prevention

One way to naturally stop hair loss from happening is to avoid using hot water to wash hair. Hot water can actually be detrimental to the health of the hair shaft and its roots. The same with the use of a hair dryer, hot water can make the hair shaft brittle which can lead to breakage as well as weal follicles which can lead to falling hair. Reducing the use of heat on the scalp can really help stop hair loss for many people, although, this may be considered a case to case basis since many people who use heat on the scalp may not have as much falling hair as others.

Another way to naturally prevent or stop hair loss is to avoid tying up the hair in tight braids of pony tails. The pressure of a tight ponytail, braid or any other way to tie hair can be intense enough to weaken the hair strands from the scalp and promote hair loss. Many hair experts recommend women (or men with long hair) to use clamps instead of an elastic band to tie the hair since there is less pressure from these.

The reduced use of hair dyes and straightening or curling chemicals can also work to stop hair loss. This means reduced visits to the hair salon since most of these visits end with a hair drying job as well as a perm or a hair coloring session. An individual’s diet can also help stop hair loss. Many foods rich in protein and calcium can actually help stop hair loss. The use of shampoo and conditioner which care not too strong can also prevent loss of hair for many people.

Television commercials for hair products can throw women into the depths of despair. Long beautiful trusses are swaying from side to side on some gorgeous model’s head, shiny, thick and beautiful. Most of us wish we had hair like that but will get by with our own, as long as we can style it in a manner acceptable by society. Normally, humans lose about 100 – 150 strands of hair a day.

This is the natural cycle of hair growth, hair dormancy and then hair loss. Only about 10 percent of our hair is actually dying or falling out at any one time. For women who are losing significant amounts (handfuls at a time) or whose hair loss is creating such thinning that the scalp is clearly visible, leaving the house can often become a major trauma. On come the hats, scarves or wigs and the worry that one will come off and expose the ugliness beneath. Add to this the loss of self-image and the constant worry about more hair loss, and there is one miserable person under that head camouflage. Social life is affected – who wants to attend parties and functions when she is miserable about how she looks?While significant hair loss is somewhat due to heredity, there are a number of treatable or temporary conditions which cause it as well.

A woman facing this condition needs to have it evaluated by a physician, to determine the root (pardon the pun) cause. While heredity may be a factor, there are hundreds of other causes, most of which are treatable. For hair loss that is permanent, there are yet the additional methods of replacement.Medical research is rapidly “closing in” on prevention measures, and it is quite possible that there will be some wonder drug available in the near future. As we speak, there is this very effective hair regrowth herbal supplement that goes by the name Provillus.

Provillus is an oral supplement, which works to block DHT, a form of testosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of hair loss. It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring dead follicles back to life. You can use Provillus as a preventative tool, starting the program before hair loss becomes severe, or you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp. You can get it at www.provillus.com. However, a lot of money is going into the research, the most promising being in the areas of cloning or reversing the process.

The good news is the hair follicles are still there; the problem is they have become so tiny, new hair cannot grow. If researchers can find a way to open the follicle up again or to block the process of shrinking, hair loss can be both prevented and reversed. In the meantime, splurge with some wigs while treating with Provillus. They are far more acceptable than toupees for men, and are often considered a fashion accessory. Hair extensions are also a temporary “fix” but be careful not to cause damage to what hair is left. Fortunately, the common patterns of hair loss for women are not the same as for men. It usually begins at parts (they get wider) or in the frontal area of the head. This allows for creativity in hairstyle, by parting or styling differently.
