I'm only 18 and I keep losing quite a lot of hair. If I run my fingers through my hair, quite a few strands just come out. When I take a shower its even worse, ever time I run my hands through my hair about 10 strands come out each time. What can I do to stop this? I use regular Herbal Essenses shampoo which used to be okay for me before, but now I'm losing hair. I just moved to college so maybe its the new environment and unhealthy food? Please help.How to stop hair loss?
you should check with your doctor the level of your hormones first. If it's unbalanced, you are losing hair, it's the first indication. If you are fine, try a different diet.
A wholesome diet, rich in silica, calcium and iron, will help reduce
or prevent hair loss. Green, leafy vegetables, especially sea
vegetables, are good mineral sources. Raw oats provide silica. Dried
fruits and cherry juice are rich sources of iron.
For women, thinning hair or hair loss can be a sign of a problem in
the gastrointestinal tract. It could be a sign of insufficient stomach
acids; It could also mean a deficiency of protein, zinc and other
nutrients. Taking two acidophilus tablets after or between meals (four
to six tablets per day) for two months will help.
For men, balding process can be slowed down by taking a low-fat diet.
Some scientists postulate that the male pattern baldness is tied to
increased testosterone levels during puberty. A high-fat, meat-based
diet raises testosterone levels, and that may adversely affect hair
follicles. For example, in Japan, male pattern baldness was very rare
prior to World War II when the diet was lean and healthy. The Japanese
now consume a more fatty, Westernized diet. Baldness is now increasing
substantially among Japanese men. Eating low-fat foods may not stop
hair loss; but it might help slow down the hair loss.
Anemia is one of the most frequent causes of hair loss. Eat plenty of
iron-rich foods, like liver (Avoid if you are pregnant) and other
organ meat, whole grain cereals, dark green leafy vegetables, eggs,
dates, and raisins.
The hair is comprised mostly of protein. To encourage hair growth,
adhere to a diet rich in protein. A recommended diet for this purpose
includes calves liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, and two tablespoons
of granulated lecithin. Along with protein, these foods are also high
in B vitamins, an important nutrient for hair.
European studies have found that soy protein reinforces hair and
stimulates its growth. In one study, The hair growth increased by 15
percent. Tofu and soy milk are good sources of soy protein. Other good
sources of protein are: low-fat cheese, eggs, fish, beans, brewer's
yeast and yogurt.
Another important nutrient for hair health is silica. Studies in the
former Soviet Union have shown that silica therapy slowed hair loss.
Organic silica added to shampoo was found to help prevent baldness,
stimulate healthier hair growth and assure beautiful shine, luster and
strength. Some scientists claim that they have effectively stopped
further hair loss by adding silica to their shampoo. This can be
applied externally to regrow already lost hair.
Silica is found in the outer coverings of potatoes, green and red
peppers and cucumbers. Bean sprouts are also high in silica. Eat whole
foods including sprouts.
Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron. Include a good serving of
fruits and vegetables in your diet.
Vitamin E is important for healthy hair growth. Eat avocados, nuts,
seeds, and olive oil on a regular basis.
If hair loss is due to thyroid dysfunction, eat more foods rich in
vitamin A and iodine. Eat vegetables such as carrots or spinach in
unrefined, cold-pressed seed oils such as flax, walnut or pumpkin seed
and sea salt. Take turnips, cabbage, mustard, soy beans, peanuts, pine
nuts and millet if there is a deficiency of iodine.
Caution: Excessive intake of Vitamin A can cause hair loss.
Try to use castor oil daily, massage it into your scalp. It's very greasy, and you will need a lot of shampoo to wash it off, but it really helps!How to stop hair loss?
In your case, I guess it may be caused by stress, are you feeling a lot of stress due to a new environment? Well, just relax.
Here' some advise.
1. Get Enough Sleep
2. Shower Daily!
3. Eat More Protein!
4. Massage Your Scalp!
5. Don't Use Styling Products!
Or there's another way to go, it may caused by medicine, are you on birth control or something? Sometimes, pills can cause this problem.
Ten hairs lost in the shower is nothing to worry about. You lose quite a bit of hair every day, normally. However, if you want to maintain beautiful hair all your life, taking a B-Complex from a high quality company is a good idea. Kelp is also very good for your hair, as long as you don't have an over-active thyroid.
it's natural for you to shed hair as a female.
I know men with hereditary hair loss lose hair because of excess DHT in their blood. They use finasteride or dutesteride to stop the hair loss. Because females don't produce anywhere near as much testosterone it doesn't work the same.
nothing to worry about.
