You have probably heard that hair loss is genetic and you have no control over it. WRONG... Although your genes can have an effect on hair loss, it is not the only reason. There are reasons for hair loss that you can control and a small change can have a huge impact on your situation.
- One reason that hair roots die or are weakened is from lack of blood supply. Hair cannot survive the stresses posed from the outside world when the roots are undernourished and do not have adequate blood supplied to them. You must maintain a healthy blood supply to the hair roots to have a healthy, full head of hair. The blood supply can be supported through diet and supplementation.
- Stress can be another contributing factor. Severe physical or emotional stress can cause hair loss regardless of whether a person is predestined to lose hair or not. Physical-Emotional Stress Surgeries, severe illnesses and emotional stress can cause your hair loss. Stress can have a delayed reaction and cause hair loss 3-6 months after some traumatic event occurred. Reducing stress levels has been shown to slow hair loss. You must take time to de-stress yourself. Using yoga, aromatherapy, exercise and deep breathing techniques can help.
- Are you drinking enough water? Your body is made up of 55 - 60% water. Since it is made up of so much water you must regularly intake water to replenish the amount that is lost from your body each day through breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. Dehydration will not help your hair follicles to grow and produce healthy hair. Water also helps to boost the body's ability to reproduce itself. The rule "drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water fluid per day" is a good one to follow.
- Get enough sleep. You body needs sufficient rest to help it operate at its full potential, which includes the ability to replenish and grow hair. It is recommended that you get 6-8 hours of sleep each night. If you do not get enough sleep at night, then a mid-day or afternoon 20-minute nap can help. Usually more than 20 minutes can cause you be sleepy and tired the rest of the day.
- You must exercise. Exercise strengthens the cardiovascular system. This will help your cardiovascular system supply enough blood to the hair roots and scalp to produce more hair. A quick 15-minute walk each day can help. Not only does exercise strengthen the cardiovascular system, but it also reduces stress levels. Take a lunch or afternoon 15-minute walk and your hair roots will love you for it. It does not have to be a fast walk. Instead, walk at a pace that will allow you to carry on a conversation with someone walking with you without panting.
