Hair Loss

Hair loss also known by its medical term alopecia, occurs due to a variety of reasons.

It is perfectly normal for one to lose about 50 to 100 strands of hair daily.However, when you start seeing lots of lost hair in your bathroom, or loads of it on your bed/floor, that is when you start worrying and thinking that you are gonna be bald soon enough.

There can be many reasons to hair loss. Stress, aging, medication and hormonal changes are some of the more common causes. Besides, practices like dyeing your hair in different chemicals and poor nutrition can further worsen this condition.

More importantly, how do you slow down hair loss or rather, restore what is left on your head?

1. Obviously, you got to EAT RIGHT. A healthy proper diet will provide your hair and scalp with the nutrition it needs.

2. KEEP IT LOOSE. For ladies out there, pulling your hair too hard to tie a tight ponytail or braid can hurt your scalp immensely, causing it to weep in agony.

3. BE GENTLE. Rubbing your hair scalp roughly will not help in this situation. Refrain from pulling your hair if this is part of that bad habit you have.

Depending on the severity of your hair loss, you might want to seek professional medical help if you lose quite a bit of hair in a short period of time. There is a medication that your doctor would recommend to you.
