Suffering from hair thinning? Element Hair has some advice for you!
Millions of people around the world have experienced some form of hair loss and a lot of them will go to treatments to find a solution and/or take supplements. Currently, I attend school for Hairstyling and the subject of hair thinning and hair loss came up. It made me think about how I could, in the future, educate and recommend products to my clients that are experiencing these issues. The first step is to figure out why this is occurring as there are many reasons why someone could be experiencing hair loss. For some, it could be something called androgenic alopecia which is a genetic form of hair loss such as male pattern baldness. For some, it could be postpartum pregnancy hair loss, a dramatic change in diet, and even something as simple as stress can induce hair thinning.
Many people would resort to various hair growth treatments on the market, such as Rogaine (Minoxidil), Hair Replacements, Biotin or Viviscal. Unfortunately, most of these treatments involve a lot of money and patience without any guarantee of hair growth in the end. How can you prevent and treat hair thinning at home without spending a ridiculous amount of money on extensive treatments? One of the main things that you can do is keep your hair and scalp healthy! Always exfoliate and massage your scalp to prevent any build up. Scalp massages stimulate the blood flow in your scalp and activate your hair follicles which promotes hair growth. The actual health of your hair can also affect and promote hair growth. Always use the right shampoo and conditioner that fits the texture and condition of your hair. At Element Hair, we have a variety of products that are specifically targeted towards the overall health of your hair. For example, our Peppermint and Hempseed Cleansing Conditioner cleans your hair but it keeps the important oils that your hair needs to stay healthy. Another tip? Get regular moisture treatments – they are a wonderful way to keep you hair and scalp nice and healthy. Lastly, it is extremely important to have a healthy, steady diet, this includes ensuring you get all your needed daily vitamins. In some cases, hair loss can also be attributed to low iron or an iron deficiency. If you think this could be the case visit your doctor and get tested. Below we have included 9 vitamins and supplements that can naturally aid in promoting healthy hair and growth.
