To prevent hair loss, improve blood circulation and stimulate growth, daily brushing and scalp massages are just the thing.
In today’s post we would like to give you some tips against hair loss.
Many people suffer from hair loss without being able to do anything about it, as it can be attributed to many factors, such as genetics, hormones, stress, diet, etc.
In this article, however, you will get some natural tips against hair loss and to stimulate the scalp – and thus hair growth – in a healthy and fast way.
Can you stop hair loss?
Each case is different and requires an individual diagnosis to first find out the cause of the disorder.
Often times, it can be a temporary phenomenon associated with poor diet, stress, or temporary thyroid dysfunction. Therefore, an individually tailored treatment can help best.
These tips against hair loss are also for those who do not suffer from hair loss but want their hair to grow faster.
Tips against hair loss
1. Relax the scalp
Nowadays one is exposed to all kinds of tension, in any part of the body. One of the affected areas, although it sounds surprising, is the scalp.
This tension makes it difficult or prevents good blood flow to the hair roots, which can lead to hair loss, weakening, gray strands, excessively oily hair, dandruff, etc.
The first step in the fight against tension in the scalp is daily massage. It shouldn’t be a superficial massage, but a little more intense, trying to relax the entire surface.
It is best to have a relaxing massage 5 to 10 minutes before going to bed.
2. Use the stimulating effects of mint and cinnamon
If you massage your scalp, you can intensify the effect of this massage with a natural product to increase blood circulation. Two essential oils with stimulating effects offer an easy option: mint and cinnamon.
Both oils promote blood circulation in different ways: the mint gives freshness, while cinnamon warms. If you combine both, you achieve a very beneficial cold-warm effect.
They should only be used in small amounts on a moisturizing basis:
- 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel or extra virgin coconut oil (30 g)
- 5 drops of peppermint essential oil.
- 5 drops of cinnamon essential oil.
3. Choose natural products
If you want to take care of your body, you should always choose hygiene and cosmetic products that are as natural as possible.
It is also advisable to avoid using products that contain strong preservatives (parabens) and sulfates. These include, for example, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES).
Incidentally, natural or organic products can be found in health food stores and natural product stores.
4. Comb every day
Combing your hair every day is the best way to improve blood circulation in the scalp and also to distribute the sebum well. This results in shinier and more balanced hair.
However, combs made from natural materials should be used, such as wood with bristles made from vegetable or animal components.
Don’t forget to comb your hair in all directions every day.
5. Provide sufficient nutrients
It is essential to maintain a balanced diet. This should therefore be rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and fatty acids so that it gives the hair everything it needs to grow.
Under no circumstances should the following foods be missing from the diet:
- Nuts and seeds.
- Raw fruits and vegetables.
- Legumes.
- Golden mackerel.
- Eggs.
- Ghee.
- Seaweed.
- Sea water or sea salt.
- Brewer’s yeast.
6. Stand on your head
It is said that the headstand or handstand or other upside down positions are very good for your health and especially prevent hair loss.
You can take a few simple positions by lying upside down or using an exercise machine.
5 to 10 minutes a day is sufficient, starting gradually. It should be avoided during the digestive or menstrual phases.
7. No stress!
Finally, you shouldn’t forget that stress causes a wide variety of health problems and affects the entire organism. Hair loss can also be one of the consequences.
