Hair Replacement and Natural Remedies
Hair loss can be a huge change in your life. You might feel like there are no other options out there other than hair replacement. While hair replacement is definitely a great option to consider, it can be augmented with some simple, natural remedies that help stop further hair loss. There are many factors that contribute to hair loss, and with some small changes to your lifestyle and eating habits, you may be able to curb your hair loss.
The first thing you need to look at is your diet. Are you getting enough protein? Protein, whether it’s from meat or non-meat sources, has shown to strengthen existing hair and possibly help new hair growth. The daily recommended amount of protein varies by age, so check with a doctor or nutritionist to find out exactly how much protein you should be eating. In addition to protein, be sure to eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like grains and nuts.
In terms of lifestyle, stress has been known to impact hair loss. Learning how to manage stress by evaluating the major stressors in your life and finding an appropriate and safe outlet for your stress are important for not only preventing hair loss but also for your health in general. Another thing to take a look at is hair hygiene. Using an exorbitant amount of damaging hair products, getting perms or dyes, or styling your hair in tightly wound ponytails and cornrows can all damage your hair, strip oils, and add breakage. These problems only exacerbate your hair loss issue. Be sure to only do these things in moderation.
Hair loss isn’t the end of the world, but it can affect your confidence. With these small adjustments, coupled with a hair replacement plan, you won’t need to worry.
