Hair Care Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Women's Hair Loss

By John Alderson


Is is possible to stop women's hair loss by taking good care of your hair? It actually depends on the particular case. For some women, this will not be enough. If the cause of your hair loss is genetic, it can't be prevented by any type of hair care. But it's still worth focusing on, because you want the hair you do have to be as healthy as it can be. If you are trying to prevent hair loss, you can certainly help your situation by keeping your hair and scalp as healthy as possible. Not many women, whoever they might be, find the prospect of losing their hair very pleasant. You can maximize the health of your hair by keeping the following tips in mind.

Eat a healthy diet. Your hair actually needs nutrients just like the rest of you, so your diet is important. Protein is especially critical, as this is what your hair is mostly composed of. You can find out more from your doctor about which vitamins and minerals are best for your hair and scalp. You may need to up your iron intake. Or it may be Vitamin D or keratin that you lack. Your doctor will help you put together a meal plan.

Dyeing the hair is something that every woman experiments with at least once in her life. However it does seem that many women have some kind of addiction to hair dye. If you choose this route (and most do it as a money saving measure) don't start by dyeing your roots. Instead leave those for the last ten or fifteen minutes. If you do it too soon, the dye could flood your follicles with too much dye for too long, and then you can get an infection, or an inflammation condition. That process can be the beginning of possible hair loss. For the safest results, you may wish to consider having a professional do it. She'll be more expensive but you'll be more likely to have a good job done on it.

Your hair will respond better in terms of health by staying with a brand that works well for you. You probably know what works well for you, so just use that. Don't switch more than every few months. You can damage your hair by changing brands too often, and that's a fact.

You know what kind of hair you have, so use a shampoo that's suitable for it. The best way to do this is to visit a professional stylist. A stylist can do an expert job of assessing your hair type, and then tell you what you need to use. Excess weight on your hair can be caused by heavy shampoo on fine hair. You really should forego the hair conditioners if you have oily hair. Your stylist will help you identify your hair type and let you know which shampoos and conditioners you should be using to keep it in good shape.

It can be easy to trivialize proper hair care for some women. The thing with so many women is they will not consider their shampoo as a possible culprit when hair issues happen. Hair loss won't be stopped with some women, but proper hair care can certainly help a lot in others. However it is effective for prolonging the loss of hair, sometimes. For peace of mind, perhaps talk to your doctor as well as your hair care professional..
