Tips To Stop Hair Loss & Keep Healthy Hair Here are some hair care tips that you can use to help stop hair loss and keep your existing hair healthy and looking great. Please don't take these tips lightly. They are very important . The only thing they require is your time and commitment.

- Massage your scalp with your fingertips (not your nails) daily to stimulate and promote circulation to your scalp and reduce excess fallout. Invert your head while you shampoo & massage your scalp. This helps promote blood circulation to the head.

- Essential oils & tea . To stimulate scalp circulation, massage the scalp with rosemary essential oil or rinse hair with tea made from sage.

- Comb or brush your hair and scalp gently in the morning and at night. This helps break up hardened oils (sebum) that are clogging your hair follicles. Doing this alone has produced new hair growth. Do not over do combing or brushing.

- keep a distance from dryer's heat. When using blow dryers, always keep the heat a good distance from your scalp and hair. Avoid heating the scalp and hair excessively. Excessive heat will increase hair loss, and excess fallout.

- Avoid getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and sprays directly on the scalp as they will clog your hair follicles. Use a light hold spray if you must.

- After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.

- Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun. Good hair care over a long period really makes a difference!

- Avoid tight hats and caps as they contribute to poor circulation, depriving the hair of proper nutrition and stunting new hair growth. The sweat, dirt and grime around the rim inhibit follicle health and contribute to build-up.

- Always consult your health care provider for extreme causes of excess fallout and thinning. A medical condition or medication could be causing hair loss side-effects.

- Strive for balance and harmony in both your personal and professional lifestyle. High stress factors can cause your body to react by fluctuating hormone levels. This in turn causes excessive oil secretion (sebum) which results in hair loss.

- Pregnancy, nursing, menopause, and even birth control medication can cause constant changing factors on your nutritional needs and hormonal levels which contribute to hair loss and excess fallout.

- Avoid "crash and fad" diets. Proper nutritious meals along with vitamin and mineral supplements are a key factor for healthy hair and skin.

- Good hair care starts with awareness. These hair care tips, if followed consistently, will reduce excess fallout, hair loss, and promote new hair growth.

- Reduce hair loss effects by increasing your intake of vitamin C found in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit and juices, parsley, broccoli, green peppers and black currants. Take a vitamin B complex everyday or brewers yeast. Increase your intake of protein found in meat, fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese, milk and eggs.

- Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc & saw palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from natural food sources.

- The Chinese believe that hair is nourished by the blood, and therefore influenced by the kidney & liver. Treatment is aimed at these organs using fleece flower root, wolfberry fruit or mulberry fruit.

- Eliminate stress or else it can be disastrous to your precious hair!

- Get enough sleep. Sleeping well is essential for the health of your hair as well as for the rest of your body.








There are ways you can help stop the grease from appearing but you have to work at it.

Do not wash everyday. The cleaner your hair is the more it can seep into your glands and harder it is to get rid of. When you do wash make sure you are washing with a cleaning shampoo and scrubbing the build up off. Take in mind that you also have to have a ph-balanced mild shampoo and lite scrubbing is recommended. Try to avoid conditioner at the roots, apply in the middle or on the ends.

Try to avoid oil in your daily food intake. And do eat more vegetables. You could visit your doctor but only after you check and consider your diet, drugs, alcohol, and your fatty food intake. Let's face it we see what McDonalds can do to your heart in a month, can you image your hair. You would be dripping everywhere.

Maybe it's time to change your shampoo. Ask your stylist what she or he would recommend. Avoid using shine products at all costs. Keep away from two-in-one shampoos and conditioners and any frizz serums.

To fix at the moment, rub a little Talcum Powder on your dried hair at the roots. Just make sure you wash it out. I wish they would event that magic product, but this will help until they do.




Here are 10 tips for to keep your hair strong, smooth, shiny and beautiful!

1. Keep your diet balanced, and eat protein and calcium rich foods. Stay away from junk foods! This is essential for healthy hair.

2. Foods and supplements to nourish your hair:


* Beans
* Yogurt
* Almonds
* Vitamin B
* Fish
* And of course, the magic potion for beauty - WATER

3. Before washing your hair, comb it well to make sure all knots has been loosened from your hair.

4. Before applying shampoo, use warm water (35 to 38 degrees Celsius) to run through your hair to rinse and wet it thoroughly.

5. When applying shampoo or conditioner, don't use your fingernails to scrape through your hair. Instead, use your palm and fingertips to massage your scalp and hair gently, in circular motions. This will help the circulation and also help to keep your hair shiny and smooth.

6. After rinsing away all the shampoo, run water over your hair for at least another half a minute (3 minutes is best) to ensure there are no remains of shampoo remaining in your hair, since this will cause a great deal of damage to your scalp.

7. When applying hair treatment products, do so just after you have washed your hair, so that your hair can absorb all the good stuff while it is half wet. This will be the best time for it to absorb nourishment.

8. NEVER go to bed with your hair wet! Hair that is half wet is most easily broken, and if you sleep during this time, your hair will be rubbing against each other, damaging your hair in the most terrible way.

9. Too much pressure may lead to hair loss! Relax... try some good relaxation methods such as soaking in a nice scented bath, listening to music, and eating healthy comfort foods such as strawberries and grapes.

10. Perming and coloring seriously damages your hair. Avoid it as much as possible. Also, when using hair setting products such as gel or putty, use as little as possible, because they hurt your scalp and hair. Wash them out thoroughly afterwards with a shampoo specially created for removing styling products.

Answer 2

If you're not opposed to a salon product (which will obviously be more expensive), I'd recommend the PureOlogy line. Although they tout it as a "color care product", my hair hasn't been colortreated for the past year, and I've been using it religiously. It would make sense that if it's gentle and healthy enough for colortreated hair, it's even better for natural hair. :)

They are also 100% vegan/no animal and earth friendly. I use the SuperStraight Smoothing shampoo & conditioner, and it really moisturizes and relaxes my wavy hair. It's very concentrated and thick, so one bottle of each lasts a long time. All the stylists I've talked to always recommend this line as their personal favorite.

I just looked on their website, and they appear to have a money-back guarantee too.

Answer 3

I have long, thick, poofy, curls. But it is not rough. I take great care of my hair. And I think I can help.
If you have frizzy hair, avoid shampoos that have alcohol as the 2nd or 3rdm ingredient. Shampoos with leave in moisturizers will improve your hair texture, since alcohol dries hair out, makes it bushier, and causes split ends.
I would recommend the Pantene shampoos that come in the brown bottle made for women of color. It works beautifully on naturally curly, or wavy hair. It makes it softer and shinier.
I only have to wash mine once a week, unless I do very heavy exercising and sweat alot.
If you use all the Pantene Women of Color products you will get shiny, healthy, smooth, bouncy hair. And if you straighten it with a flat iron and brush your hair with coconut oil, your hair will be straight. It will look shiny, and if it is dark, it will look like Hawaiin women's hair. This is possible in about two weeks, max.

Answer 4

I have the EXACT same problem, my hair is sooo bushy and dry and horrible! wiht my hair, i get shampoo and gel build up if i dont use the right kind. I suggest auzzie shampoo and conditioner. Wash your hair about 2 or 3 times a week so that you dont dry it out, then when you get out of the shower towel dry the excess water off, then brush it out right away. Sometimes i put my hair in two braides when i get out of the shower then when i take them out my hair is tame and wavy and really nice. Oh and another extra thing id like to ad just incase you ever wantede to scrunch your hiar, With hair like ours it looks really nice scrunched so i suggest auzzie Tizz no frizz gel then when you get out of the shower flip your head over and scrunch it, you'll be very pleased with the result, but make sure you dint apply to much or you'll get a build up in your hair.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 5

try botanicals. it can be purchases at beauty salons. it wont be found at the local stores. it wont weigh hair down like the cheap store products. also, get the right type of shampoo for your hair. maybe something with a light conditioner if its really dry.

if you want a store product try jermak or pantene products.
