Tips to avoid hair loss and promote healthy hair growth

As we age, hair loss can become more prevalent, but it doesn’t have to become inevitable. While hair loss due to hormone level changes and genetics cannot be avoided, there are some things you CAN do to help prevent it…

First-off, have a care with your hair. Use gentle shampoos, avoid too much sun exposure and heat styling on too high and for too long. Plus, there are shampoos and conditioners you can work into your hair care regiment which actually address hair thinning issues.

While we all agree that washing hair too often isn’t the best practice, not washing hair enough can also be problematic because we need to avoid dirt and oil build-up on the scalp that can clog pores. Individuals with oily, fine hair should wash their hair more frequently than those with thick or dry hair. You also want to wash your hair more frequently if you exercise or participate in any other activity that may cause you to sweat more often.

Decreasing stress, improving nutrition and scheduling regular hair trimming can all also help promote healthy hair growth.
