HOW TO PREVENT HAIR LOSS

Hair loss is something like migraines. Nobody knows the EXACT cause and everybody has experienced it at least once. In each case, the causes differ as black and white. Sadness, psychological shock, stress, hormonal problems, breastfeeding and pregnancy , poor nutrition, medications , diseases , invasive aesthetic techniques (such as straightening, perms etc) are few of the recorded causes of increased hair loss, which when from seasonal becomes permanent, can result in baldness. So, if you were a dear friend I would ask you: “How serious is it? “. Rarely, in very serious cases I would suggest a visit to the doctor, to conduct tests and find the pathological cause, hence the right treatment. Most of us though, suffer from seasonal hair loss, which is much easier to fight, especially when is contained in its early stage. For thinning hair, as a result of a demanding daily routine, and seasonal hair loss, my opinion is to start immediately with a dietary supplement, for better and faster results. Cystine, methionine, selenium, zinc, copper, keratin and collagen, all components that help form and maintain the good health of hair, are available in different and specifically designed for hair formulas. To this list, I would also add iron, which a doctor recommended for my hair loss during breastfeeding, and I can say it was miraculous! The next move for halting hair loss is a topical treatment. For that, you need to have patience and perseverance, since most formulations need at least a three month intensive application for a visible effect. To arm yourself with both, just have a look at the clinical trials that accompany these products. Rates are simply stunning! Finally, a specialized shampoo, will add to your whole effort, in terms of not delivering unnecessary or harmful substances to the scalp, while giving extra body to the hair.
