Three Ingredients That Can Grow Your Hair Back in 10 Days
Are you worried about hair loss and tired of searching for a
treatment? I know from experience, hair loss can be a blow to your
confidence.
Don’t worry. There are many natural and medical treatments. Read about the causes, treatments, a
recipe for homemade Rogaine, and my personal experiences below.
Causes of Hair Loss
There are many causes, ranging from
vitamin deficiencies to hormone changes. Stress, lack of sleep, smoking,
thyroid problems, and menopause are all causes. Certain hair
products and hair
styles, such as pulling hair back too tightly, can also lead to hair
loss. There is no cure for menopause or old age (though there are still a
few medical ways you can slow down the hair loss that comes with them).
But if anything else is causing your thinning locks, therein lies the
cure.
Natural Treatments for Hair Loss
Sleep/Stress
If you are experiencing hair loss, the very first thing you should do
is examine your lifestyle. Have your sleep or stress levels suddenly
changed? If so, that may be the root of your problem.
Try to readjust your
schedule. If it’s difficult to unwind after work or before going to bed, try
meditation.
Carve out 10 minutes that are absolutely to yourself. Set your phone to
silent and put it in a different room. Then, with the door closed to
any distractions, sit down comfortably, cross-legged if you can. Close
your eyes and clear your mind, focusing in on your breath is it flows in
and out of your lungs. If you are a visual person, imagine that air is a
color, and that you can see it filling up and emptying out of your
body. If any other thoughts—be they from your personal life, your work
life, or something else—start to cross your mind, consciously let them
go and return your thoughts to your breathing.
Foods that Prevent Hair Loss
If you are getting enough sleep and are not experiencing stress, consider your diet. Are you getting all of your nutrients?
Iron, protein, and omega-3 deficiencies have all been linked to hair
loss. On top of that, vitamins and minerals are necessary for healthy
hair follicles and scalp, both of which will keep you hair healthy and
decrease hair breakage.
General Diet Tips for Healthy Hair
•Web MD recommends eating six to 10 servings of vegetables daily.
•Eat two to four servings of fruit daily.
•Get enough protein—either two to three servings of meat a day or four
to five servings of dairy and beans (keep in mind that a serving meat is
three ounces, no larger than the size of your cell phone).
•Eat foods rich in omega-3, such as eggs, nuts, seeds, and fish.
•Mix it up! Don’t eat the same foods every day. A variety will ensure
that you get all of the vitamins and minerals that you need.
•Add a multivitamin to your daily routine. Eat it with food to increase absorption.
Foods for Healthy Hair
Need ideas for specific foods? All of the foods below have been
recommended for hair. If you eat these regularly, you will natural treat
any deficiencies that may be causing your hair loss.
•Salmon, sardines, trout, and mackerel: All of these fish will
provide protein, vitamin D, and omega-3. Your body cannot create the
fatty acids found in omega-3 on its own, and those fatty acids make up
3% of your hair shaft and are also found in the skin on your scalp, so
you need to eat them somewhere!
•Avocado, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts: These foods are also rich in
omega-3, and don’t have the risk of mercury inherent in some of the
bigger fish. These fruits and nuts are boons to vegetarians, because
they need omega-3 fatty acids for their hair as well. All of these foods
also have zinc, the lack of which can lead to hair loss.
•Oysters: Oysters also are rich in zinc, iron, and protein. Really,
really rich—just six oysters have 220% of your Daily Value of zinc, 33%
of your Daily Value of iron, and eight grams of protein.
Sweet potatoes and carrots: These vegetables contain vitamin A, which is
crucial for the health of your scalp. Deficiencies in vitamin A can
even lead to dandruff.
•Eggs: Eggs have protein, zinc, selenium, sulfur, and iron. Since iron
is one of the most common deficiencies that lead to hair loss in
premenopausal women (who lose some every month with their menstrual
cycle), the importance of these minerals cannot be overstated.
•Spinach and other leafy greens: In addition to other minerals, these
vegetables are important for their iron. They are an excellent source of
iron for vegans, and have less cholesterol than animal-based sources.
Effect of Smoking and Drug Use on Hair Loss
Smoking is related to hair loss and baldness, according to research
by the US National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of
Health. Other drugs have a similar correlation. If you are taking
prescription medicine, consult your doctor or check the side effects to
see if that could be a cause of your hair loss.
Medical Treatments for Hair Loss
If the natural treatments above do not work, it is time to consult a
doctor. Hair loss can be a side effect of a serious medical condition
such as thyroid problems or diabetes. Doctors will also run a
blood test to definitively rule out any deficiencies.
If your hair loss is not caused by lifestyle, diet, or disease, then
it is due to changes in your hormones related to aging. There are two
medicines that can help treat this type of hair loss.
Rogaine (minoxidil). Rogaine is an over-the-counter medication that
is applied to the scalp. It works best on hair that has just begun to
thin. According to Web MD, “[more] than 50% of users claim that it can
thicken hair and slow hair loss.” Once you begin using Rogaine, you must
continue to use it indefinitely in order to maintain its effects. If
you go this route, Costco sells minoxidil at a significantly lower price
than most pharmacies.
Propecia (finasteride). Propecia is a pill that can treat more developed
hair loss in men. It works by blocking the hormones that cause hair
loss from reaching the skin. Consult your doctor before taking Propecia.
