Losing More Than 100 Strands Of Hair A Day

It is very common for people to fret over the strands of hair on the floor of the bathroom or hair brush. Although it is considered normal to lose more than a hundred hairs a day, it is considered as thinning when the number of hairs that drop off the scalp is more than the number of hairs growing back or remaining on the scalp. Usually hair loss occurs due to medications and their side effects, damage due to hair treatments, thermal styling, environmental factors, scalp infections, hormonal imbalances, cancer and its therapy, age and prolonged illness.
To improve the thickness of hair on the head and to prevent further hairfall there are some things that a person can do. Let us have a look at a few simple things that people can practice in the convenience of their home.
? Firstly consume green leafy vegetables, fish, legumes and lentils to that the iron and protein deficiencies in the body is addressed.
? A multivitamin supplement and zinc tonic will speed up the body’s natural production of hair.
? It is advisable to avoid aggressive hair styling treatments like perming, curling, permanent straightening, braiding, dread locks, crimping and back combing.
? Always shampoo and rinse the hair with gentle hands to avoid breakage of the follicles when wet.
? After the shampooing, apply a good quality conditioner to smoothen the tips of the hair and prevent further damage due to split ends.
? As far as possible, dry the hair in a gentle manner and never comb wet hair.
? Let the wet hair dry out naturally or use a hair dryer albeit at a little distance from the scalp to avoid scalding.
? Leave hair open as far as possible and steer clear of braids, clips, elastic bands and sharp pins which tug at the hair and cause breakage and headaches.
? Protect the hair by venturing in the cold, sun and windy weather with a hat, scarf or parasol.
These simple suggestions could go a long way in ensuring that the rate of hair fall is arrested while promoting the health of the remaining hairs.
