Hair loss may not only affect a person’s self-image but might as well his social life. So before total baldness takes place, it is important to stop hair loss as early as possible. Here are 10 effective ways to stop hair loss.

1. Massage your scalp with your fingertips; avoid scratching it with your nails. Apply aloe vera extract with coconut oil while doing this. Massaging your scalp promotes good circulation while applying oil and aloe vera extract deliver nourishment to the hair cuticles.

2. Consume as many fruits and vegetables as you can. This is the best way of ensuring that enough supply of vitamins and minerals is delivered to your hair. Dark green leafy vegetables and yellow-colored fruits are the most essential sources of hair vitamins. Also eat protein rich foods. This stimulates the production of new hair follicles. Good sources of protein include lean meat, and beans.

3. Use lukewarm water when bathing. Too warm water increases susceptibility to hair fall while too cold water may cause hypothermia.

4. When balding is associated with dandruff, rinse your hair with water mixed lemon juice. Give much attention to the scalp rather than the hair shaft when doing this.

5. To reduce hair fall naturally, apply rosemary oil to your scalp. Do this once in a week as part of your routine.

6. Do not use highly concentrated shampoo as this will decrease the amount of natural oil in your scalp. Sebum or natural oil is important to boost hair strength and reduce hair fall.

7. For hair loss that is linked to genetic or hormonal factors, the intake of Zinc and biotin supplement is effective.

8. After bathing or when your hair is wet, handle it cautiously. Do not use narrow-toothed comb because it makes your delicate hair prone to hair fall.

9. Find the right hair loss products. The extent of hair thinning may vary from person to person. Likewise, the efficiency of hair loss treatment differs according to the presenting condition.

10. Saw Palmetto extract has long been used as an alternative treatment for hair loss. Research shows that this herb lowers the level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the main culprit that causes baldness.

Your choice of hair loss treatment depends upon your convenience, but a medical advice can provide a thorough range of options.
