People resort to all kinds of things to hide their not so glamorous scalp including buying wigs and exotic potions!In order to solve this problem effectively we first need to knowabout what exactly causes hair loss and then move on to findremedies to prevent it. Studies have shown that the most commonreasons for hair loss of men come from hormone related or fromgenetic factors.
The major culprit for hair loss in men seems to be the hormonecalled DHT(dihydrotestostrone). As the level of this hormoneincreases in the body, the hair loss pattern also catapults highup resulting in the thinning of hair leading to eventualpermanent damage of the hair follicles. This develops thedreaded syndrome of balding and robs an otherwise positive manof his confidence.
In women too, this testosterone derivatehormone DHT plays havoc and leads to hairloss even though theresults might not be as extreme as the ones seen in men. In thecase of women, two more factors accentuate hair loss. The firstone is triggered off by a traumatic situation in her life,disturbing the normal hair growth pattern and is called TelogenEffluvium. There is a general thinning of hair in this case.
Another major condition which seems to be promoting hair loss inwomen is Alopecia Areata. In this rare condition, there is lossof hair in patches not only from the scalp but also from variousother body parts. Thankfully, there is a wide variety of hairloss remedies available to prevent hair loss. One of the oldest remedies for hair loss is massaging of thescalp. It has been tried, tested and proved to stimulate hairfollicles when done for a few minutes on a regular basis.
Oilingthe scalp is not such a bad idea either! Coconut, olive andjojoba oils have been found to have hair nourishing and growthpromoting properties. Also, keeping the head cool and periodicwashing with cold or lukewarm water is recommended. Thesignificance of good nutrition can never be overlooked as thequality of hair depends heavily on our diet. The presence of abalanced diet with ample amount of minerals, fats and proteinsis the key to lustrous and glamorous hair.
Raw Palmetto extractalso helps to avoid the problem of hair loss by lowering the DHTlevels in the body and prevents hair loss. Another potion that has proved to be beneficial to hair is AloeVera extract. It reduces the pH level and preserves our hair. Itis recommended to apply Aloe Vera on the scalp regularly to gainthe desired effect.
