Over the years, hair loss in women has become a universal dilemma. Gone are the days, when hair thinning was a specific male issue. Today, a huge part of the female population suffers from hair thinning which ultimately leads to hair loss.
Hair thinning is a very common ailment that affects millions of people. It happens among all people of different age groups across the world. It may be the outcome of various reasons ranging from aging to improper nourishment of the hair.
The following tips offer helpful advice to answer frequently encountered hair care problems for men and women suffering from thinning hair, baldness or hair loss.
Hair Colors
When you use any hair care product especially dyeing products, keep deep concern over the chemical content. Medication can weaken your hair scalps causing it to break or fall out. Semi-permanent color is advisable as it does not contain ammonia or peroxide. Using this product will not damage hair as it will give it body and volume. If you have fine-textured hair type, semi-permanent is the right choice for you. However, make sure that the color is professionally applied and maintained otherwise the colored hair can easily get over-processed which damages it and causes further hair loss.
Hair Styling
Certain styles and treatments can cause breakage or root damage. Avoid excessively tight braiding, buns, or ponytails. Do not roll your hair too tightly in curlers. Teasing and back combing should be done gently. Also remember not to over expose you hair to the sun, wind, or swimming-pool chemicals as it may cause hair dryness.
Volumizing Products
Always keep in mind that many volume-building hair products contain paraffin and are bee wax based. This is very harmful for the hair as it builds up and can make the hair break very easily.
Shampoos & Conditioners
While this advice is valid for anyone, those suffering from hair loss, thinning hair and baldness should especially choose shampoos and conditioners that are right for their hair type. Though some shampoos contain harsh chemicals, many have mild effects that nourish the hair and allow it to grow soft and glow. So it is advisable to use shampoo and conditioner that is suitable for you.
Blow Dry
Be careful about putting high heat directly onto the hair because high heat application can seriously damage your hair texture. Even flat irons and curling irons can cause damage and hair breakage leading to hair thinning. Ironing strolls contain strong chemicals that make the hair curl and cause immense hair damage.
No matter how little these tips, these can make a huge difference for your thinning hair. By following these carefully you can help prevent thinning hair thus making way for a healthy hair growth.
