Whatever the length, color or style, hair is something most people invest time and money in to make it look as good as possible. When thick, shiny hair is the ultimate goal, signs of hair loss can be devastating for even the most confident people.

Unfortunately, around a third of the population will experience some level of hair thinning or loss, many of them women. In some cases, this is unavoidable due to genetics or medical conditions. In others it is triggered, or worsened, by factors that can be controlled. Losing between 50-100 strands of hair a day is considered perfectly normal, but any more than that is a strong warning signal.

Whatever the reason, at the first signs of hair loss or thinning it is possible to take action to try to halt or dramatically slow the process. Opportunities to reduce the risk of hair loss come in many forms, some simple and some requiring medical supervision, but all offer hope to anyone keen to help turn things around.

Review Your Hair Care Routine

Be honest; do you take the time to read the ingredients list and buy shampoo made by a company you trust, or go straight for the cheapest on the shelf at the drugstore, regardless? Choosing products that are mild, gentle, and designed to suit the type of hair you have, helps reduce breakage.

Stay away from hair dryers and other hair styling appliances, as overheating your scalp can damage hair follicles; save them for special occasions instead.

Wear Your Hair Loose

Styles that pull at your scalp leave hair vulnerable to stretching and snapping at the roots, causing permanent damage to the hair follicle. Try wearing it down or in a loose style, and switch things out every day or two.

Feed Your Hair

Hair is a living thing that needs vitamins and minerals as much as any other part of the body. Eating a varied and healthy diet will help your hair stay healthy.

Nurture Your Hair and Scalp Naturally

Plan a weekly hair and head massage using coconut, olive or almond oil. Use your fingertips to apply light pressure as you massage the oil into your hair and scalp.

Exploit Onions!

Onion juice can help improve circulation and combat inflammation, factors thought to trigger hair loss. Grate and squeeze a raw onion to extract the juice, apply the liquid to your scalp and leave for thirty minutes before rinsing and shampooing as usual. Studies suggest this is a very effective method of stimulating hair re-growth in problem areas.

Try a Trustworthy Product

Maximize your chances of beating hair loss by incorporating a medically approved anti-hair loss product into your action plan. Something like the FDA approved Scalp Med is a well-reviewed topical treatment with decent success rates and positive reviews.

There are no quick fixes available to avoid or overcome hair loss issues, but with commitment and dedication there are plenty of positive and useful things you can do. Make the most of everything on offer to improve your chances of success.
