3 Easy Steps to Reduce Hair Fall

Hair loss or hair fall can occur in both men and women of all age groups and backgrounds and range from mild hair thinning to total baldness.  Hair can fall out for many different reasons, but experts say that 100 hairs shed per day is normal and that beneath every fallen hair another hair follicle has grown in its place.  Also it’s important to remember that we tend to lose the most hair in the late fall/early winter when hair reaches its maturity growth cycle. 

However, for some people – male and female -- hair fall or loss is not just inconvenient, it’s a much more significant and heart-breaking problem that may even be a sign of a serious medical condition on the rise. 

1. See your doctor!

The first and most important step to reduce hair fall is see your doctor as soon as you notice significant hair fall or thinning, and especially if you are having other unexplained physical symptoms. 

Your doctor should be able to determine upon physical examination if the cause of your hair loss is based on your medical or hereditary history, if some medication you take could be the culprit, how healthy (or unhealthy) your diet is and even if your hairdressing habits need to be changed. 

If you’ve shared a hat, brush or comb with someone else, you may have developed a hair fungus, which can be easily treated with medication.

2. Reevaluate your lifestyle.

If your hair loss is related to drug side effects or other medical condition, you probably don’t need to do much else other than (with your doctor’s approval, of course!) discontinue or substitute the medication that’s causing the problem.  Your hair should grow back in due course. 

Likewise, hair that’s falling out from the trauma of chemicals (hair color, bleaching, perms) and heat-based hairstyling tools (blow dryers, hot rollers) will grow back if you limit or stop their use all together. 

If hair loss is a result of poor diet and nutrition, adopting a balanced diet rich in whole grains, proteins, fruits and vegetables, along with a plan to minimize stress and get regular exercise will be just the ticket to having a normal, healthy head of hair again.

3. If you need treatment, stay with the regimen.

Men and women with hereditary-pattern baldness can be medically treated with topical Minoxidil (Rogaine).  Another option – but for men only! -- is oral finasteride (Propecia, Proscar). 

Fungal scalp infection treatment requires 6 to 12 weeks of oral medication, such as Lamisil or Sporanox, and possibly with over-the-counter shampoos like Selsun Blue or Head & Shoulders.  In some cases, your doctor may also recommend you consider hair transplants or scalp reduction surgery as an alternative cure for hair loss. 

Or you can use a natural hair loss supplement to reduce hair fall.

Here are some of the benefits of using natural hair loss cures:

• They reduce hair fall starting in 1 week.
• They don't cause any side effects because they are made of herbs and natural extracts.
• They will save you time and money compared to using hair transplants or scalp reduction surgery that can cost you well over $5,000.
• Thousands of other men have used them with success.
