If it has recently become obvious that you are losing your hair, you may find that the cause of your hair loss may be down to genetics, stressful periods in your life, hormones, or even as a result of medication you are taking. Modern day medicine and technology however have provided a variety of solutions to both hide and treat hair loss.

In order to not exacerbate your condition, it is very important to not apply any chemical products to your hair that could potentially irritate your scalp. It is probably best to stay away from harsh chemical hair treatments such as relaxers, colorants and dyes. If you must use these products, always make sure to do a patch test. This achieved by applying the product to a very small patch of your hair to see if you react badly to the product. It is very important to note that these harsh chemicals will weaken your already thinning hair. Opt for natural ways of dyeing your hair where possible.

If you\’re aiming for strong healthy hair, try minimizing your hair\’s contact with harsh or follicle clogging petroleum-based products. Petroleum based pomade, and creams do not offer any benefit to your hair at all. In fact their sole purpose is to give African-American hair with a fake shine. Because of the way African-American hair grows, which is naturally tightly curled, it doesn\’t reflect light anywhere near as well as Caucasian hair. Therefore it can seem to be dry and dull. Petroleum is a cheap product that hair product manufacturers add to their products to make the hair shine.

Unfortunately petroleum is pretty much devoid of any nutrients the hair can benefit from and is quite heavy and difficult for the scalp to absorb. As a result it ends up sitting on the scalp and clogging the hair follicle. Instead of applying petroleum-based products to your scalp, apply virgin natural oils such as coconut or olive oil to your scalp. An even better alternative is Bhringaraj oil. It has been used for thousands of years to treat hair loss in both men and women.

Bhringaraj or the other virgin oils can be applied by gently massaging it into the scalp the night before you shampoo your hair. The oils will be absorbed overnight while you sleep and will leave your hair feeling soft and conditioned in the morning. It is important to wash your hair the next day to make sure no excess oil is sitting on your scalp and clogging your pores.

Try not to skip the scalp massage. Scalp massages play a very important in stimulating hair growth. In addition to scalp massages and hair growth oils, use a shampoo designed for hair loss. Do not wait until your hair loss becomes extensive or very obvious before you start using a hair loss shampoo. As soon as you notice the first signs of thinning, start combating it with a toolbox of tools for the job. Scalp massages using oil and hair loss shampoos are essential tools to get the job done.
