6 Tips to Beat Thinning Hair

1. Aromatherapy:

Aromatherapy has been used to treat thinning hair for many years, and in many cases has been very successful. Every night for a few minutes, the aroma therapy mixture is massaged into the scalp, and the head is wrapped in a towel to increases the absorption rate of the oils.

Alopecia is treated with a mixture of the following:

• Bay
• Lavender
• Grapefruit
• Lemon
• Rosemary
• Ylang Ylang
• Roman Chamomile
• Thyme
• Atlas cedar wood

You need to mix the essential oils with a carrier oil like jojoba and grape seed oil before you apply directly onto your scalp. Massage the mixture into your scalp for at least 3 minutes, and then wrap your head with a warm towel to increase the absorption rate of the oil and to help you relax. 

2. Keep your hair short:

As once quoted by Albert Einstein “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”

We can create an illusion of fullness by keeping the hair short and multi-layered. An appearance of volume is given when the hair is short and layered, while at a longer length will look even thinner and droopy.

3. Diet:

A very common cause of thinning hair is an unbalanced diet, which leads to a deficiency in important nutrients and minerals. The following should be introduced into your diet or increased.

• Protein:  Meat, eggs, chicken and fish are very good sources of protein and consumption should be increased.  A protein deficiency will definitely affect the health of your hair as your hair is made of protein.
• Oats and Cucumber: Very good source of silica, which is very important for your hair and skin.  Silica supplements are available and might be an easier way of increasing it in your diet.
• Flaxseed: A very rich source of alpha Linolenic acid, an Omega 3 fatty acid. Its properties support your cells, and give your hair strength and shine.
• Leafy Greens: Great source of folic acid and a host of other vitamins
• Brown rice, nuts and seeds: A great source of the B vitamins, which is responsible for the health and strength of the hair shaft. In most cases, pregnancy, child birth or simply taking the contraceptive pill can cause a deficiency in B vitamins, which will in turn lead to the thinning of your hair. In these cases it will be advised to supplement, and B-complex supplements should be your first choice in the battle against hair lost.
• Sunflower and sesame seeds: A great source of iron, which is important for healthy hair.
• Oysters: A great source of zinc, which supports hair growth and strength.
• Biotin supplements: this supplement will help thicken your hair; it is natural and found naturally in some food. 

4. High stress levels:

Stress has always been known to be a very common cause of hair loss. It causes a hormone imbalance which increases the number of falling hair, which in turn leads to the thinning of the hair. Relaxation is the solution to this problem, try to relax and maybe take up a hobby or a sport. 

Yoga tends to be a very effective stress reliever. Yoga will also increase blood circulation throughout your body, which will in turn increase the circulation of blood to your scalp which will in turn promote healthier fuller hair. 

5. Check your Acid Level:

A poor digesting capability in the stomach will lead to a very poor ability for the body to digest and extract very important amino acids from the protein in your diet. Amino acids are the building blocks not only for muscle but for hair. If your stomach has below the normal acidity level, get hydrochloric acid-pepsin capsules which can be prescribed by your doctor.  This will increase acidity levels in your stomach, which will allow your stomach to digest and extract amino acids efficiently from the proteins you ingest which in turn leads to a healthier head of hair.
