Did you know that over a hundred hair strands falls off your head every single day? But you do not go bald because new hair grows in their place. However, this is not the case for some people.
Baldness happens when hair falls out and new hair does not grow after. The partial or complete loss of hair is called alopecia. Contrary to what other people think, baldness is not caused by disease or sickness but it is caused by aging, heredity and testosterone. Other causes would be hormonal changes such as childbirth or the use of birth control pills, physical and emotional stress, excessive shampooing and blow drying.
Most people do not recognize hair loss until it is in the worse case scenario. It could start with your hair thinning out. A woman can notice this by the size of her ponytail. Some would only start panicking when they find many hairs in their pillow when they wake up in the morning and in their hairbrush.
Luckily there are numerous remedies which you can do to get rid of hair loss. Here are some of them:
- Get two eggs and some milk and beat them lightly. Once the mixture is done, run it through your hair and leave it on for about five minutes before rinsing. This formula does not only help prevent hair loss but dandruff as well.
- Dissolve two aspirins in your dandruff shampoo. Lather the mixture to your hair. Make sure to use a good moisturizing conditioner afterwards.
- Rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar and sage tea will help encourage hair growth. Chamomile infusions and catmint used as a final rinse will help deal with itchiness which is said to help hair loss.
- You can also apply a small amount of honey while washing your hair which is said to also be effective in hair loss treatments.
- Rubbing the scalp well with your fingers after washing your hair with cold water can help prevent and treat hair loss. This will help release the sebaceous gland and will improve blood circulation making the hair grow healthy. Rub your scalp well until you feel it heat up.
With the help of these remedies, you will be able to keep your crowning glory thick and healthy.
