Anyone can use certain products like minoxidil to treat hair loss, but you have to remember that it is a temporary solution and it doesn’t treat the underlying root cause.  If you stop using it or if you don’t increase the dosage every so often, you’ll start losing hair again.  Depending on the severity, it is best to ask a professional who has dealt with numerous patients with hair loss and have had great deal of experience.

More than 80 percent of men and nearly half of women experience significant hair loss during their lifetime.  Most of the time, it is preventable and recoverable.  There are numerous reasons why one would lose hair like hormonal imbalances caused by things like pregnancy or being stressed from lack of sleep, health issues like autoimmune disease, taking certain drugs like blood thinning medications, being deficient in certain nutrient like zinc and protein, having bad hair care routine like washing too much, aging, genetics, and much more.

It may be difficult to find your root cause because hair loss has many possible causes.  It can be your diet or it can be your smoking habit.  In order to narrow down your root cause, you should write down your daily activities in a journal to track down what may potentially be causing it.  Once identified, you should do research on what can be done about it.  Most of the time, diet and hair care routine will fix the problem.  

Diet is the most critical when it comes to your hair.  Most of the time, medical professionals will recommend products like nutrafol because your diet is the reason for your hair loss.  You need to ensure you are getting all the right nutrients like vitamin B12, vitamin D, biotin, iron, riboflavin, protein, zinc, and other nutrients that are critical for promoting hair growth and maintaining healthy scalp.  

Your diet should include salmon to help your hair to prevent dullness with omega-3, greek yogurt with vitamin B5 to help blood flow to your scalp to battle hair thinning and loss, green leafy vegetables like spinach to provide you with good nutrients like vitamin A and iron to keep your hair moisturized and encourage glands to make oily fluid to prevent dryness, fruits like guava to provide vitamin C to prevent brittle hair, lean poultry to provide enough protein for hair thickness, cinnamon to promote blood flow to ensure oxygen and nutrients are circulated, and eggs that has biotin to promote growth.

I recommend doing your research and eating healthier instead of taking numerous supplements.  Most supplements make problems worse because they are too concentrated, for example, too much selenium could lead to hair loss, gastrointestinal upset, fatigue, and mild nerve damage.  Your diet needs to ensure you don’t take too much or too little.

Having a good hair routine is also critical to hair growth.  There are numerous products and different routines for different types of hair.  While this may be a journey, it’s important to find what works for you and develop a routine.

Your hair may have numerous problems from being too oily to too dry, having split ends to having itchy scalp, and having lack of volume to being brittle.  It’s important to take note of your hair condition and look for products and routines that work for that specific condition.  It’s best to talk over it with your medical professional when picking your products.

It’s important to buy products that can cleanse your hair like a gentle, sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo to get rid of grease, dirt, and other unwanted build ups.  Then another product that can condition and nourish your hair like a conditioner to seal and provide moisture, you can also get product that detangle your hair and eliminate knots to minimize breakage like a leave-in conditioner, and you are also recommended a product that protect and prime your hair like heat protecting spray that can help prevent sun damage.  You can try out other treatment products every so often like scalp treatment, oil treatment, and mask treatment to tackle certain hair conditions.

You should also exercise regularly, not only to promote healthy hair growth but to keep your body healthy. When we exercise blood circulation increases, allowing for more nutrients and oxygen to get to your scalp and helps with managing hormone levels.
