Solutions to Hair Loss

We all know prevention is better than cure. This is very true in case of hair loss. Once hair is lost it’s very difficult to get it back. Let’s look at a few hair loss prevention secrets. One of the most studied facts about hair loss is that sun damages the hair and speeds up the rate at which hair falls off a human scalp. So it is advised not to spend a lot of time in sun without a hat or a covering for the head. You may also use a sunscreen shampoo so that it will protect when you go outdoors. Do not use shampoo daily unless and until you are using a shampoo with sunscreen because normal shampoos contain enough chemicals to damage scalp. So shampoo your hair only when necessary.
Stress is also one of leading causes of hair loss in people of all ages. At least 30 minutes of meditation for relaxation will minimize the rate at which hair falls. If you start to see hair loss effects on your head it’s not too late and can prevent further loss by taking some precautions and consuming healthy and nutritious food and of course by using medicines prescribed by your doctor or dermatologist. Temporary hair loss is caused by scalp infection, chemical products, medications, poor nutrition and diseases. Some hair loss treatments are focused on stopping hair loss while others emphasize more on hair re growth.
Generally there are four kinds of hair loss treatments
1. Anti-inflammatories reduce the risk of scalp inflammation and itching thus promoting hair loss.
2. Anti-Androgens prevent DHT from combining with androgen receptors which avoids growth of thin and short hair.
3. Growth stimulants are used to stimulate hair follicles and thereby increase hair growth.
4. DHT inhibitors are used t maintain a balance of hair shedding and re growth.
