While
most of us experience our hair thinning with age, and blame it on our
genetic disposition. It can also be brought upon by a number of everyday
factors associated with our lifestyles. There are many hair loss
treatments out there, so let’s look at some remedies that could
definitely improve the health and fullness of your hair before you
consider hair weaves or extensions:
-
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.
-
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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
