Answer 1

This might help you - I know the problem and it helped me. I started having problems with bad, unhealthy looking hair and what everyone called dandruff but learned that it was not but also learned that the cause of all my problems was harsh ingredients in shampoos.and overwashing. So stopped using them and everything started to heal naturally. So you will be better off doing the same. Best to use tea tree oil shampoo - buy at Tesco(own brand). I too was loosing hair and just by chance found a treatment that stopped the loss. I had heard that if the scalp had suffered from bad product use, if was stimulated or irritated in some way that it would get revitalized and would start producing strong well anchored hair that would not shed. So contrary to some accepted thinking that brushing would shed more or break hairs, I started regularly brushing with a palm held fairly stiff bristled brush (50 times). My aim was to stimulate the scalp. There was a little hair shedding and some breakages only to begin with but that stopped as hair started growing stronger. There was some new growth also (yes, amazingly, it was new growth). Kept brushing just as strongly every other day and overtime those hairs grew longer and more new hair appeared. Sometimes I massaged the hair AND scalp with oil(an organic oil - olive oil is good, tea tree oil is better - it's a natural anti-septic) after brushing and slept with it that way. I protected pillow with an old towel. That does get a beautiful, healthy sheen to the hair. No more shedding after that and hair where it was thin is now healthy and full again. I still maintain a regular brushing routine and avoid overwashing - that is bad for the hair. I'm a vegetarian and take care to eat healthily and do yoga meditation and chanting - but I do not think that is much of a factor in the cure. I can be emailed(see my profile) if you want more info.

First what products are you using?

Remember too many products and things done to your hair can damage it further and you can loose more hair, second every 7 years your body chemistry changes as well. I highly recomend staying away from things with sulfer or sulfate in the ingredients, sounds hard to find shamppo, but it's not. Try going to a wild oats or whole food there natural shamppos have no salt agents in them and will help the ahir you have be stronger. Second get a hair massager, i can be even an odd type of brush. Massage the scalp some that can help prevent hair loss in men. Also are you getting enough Omega's in your diet? Omega 3,6 and 9 are esentail for skin, hair, nail growth and health. Folic acid is another thing good for hair growth, you can buy those both as supplements and an Omega complex.

Also sometimes you can over-wash your hair as well in glamore or allure magazine in january's issue there was an article on hair models. I suggest readingt hat, sorry i forgot the magazine it was in. Most hair models wash there hair 2-3 times a week and don't use conditioners, but rely on their hair's natural oils.

I hope this helps! Also water is good too remember 8-8oz glasses can help as well.

Hi Pat, If it's become very noticeable, I would certainly suggest seeing a doctor to help isolate the potential cause since it could be anything from stress to genetics, malnutrition, etc. One thing you can do is make sure to have a diet high in protein and vitamins; food like fish, poultry, fruits, vegetables, lean red meats, and legumes will help along with supplements. You can also apply natural oils directly to your scalp to help stimulate growth as well. Here's a quick list of some to look into and their effects: Basil: Massaging basil hair oil into the scalp helps strengthen follicles and improves scalp circulation, which may trigger hair growth. Sage: Using sage as a hair rinse helps darken the hair and delay hair loss Bay: By adding three drops of this oil into your shampoo, it not only helps restore dull hair and stimulates hair growth, but also helps resolve the problem of dandruff Rosemary: Stimulates hair bulbs to renewed activity, strengthens hair, and prevents premature baldness Arnica: Using a hair rinse with arnica extract has been used to treat Alopecia Neurotica Amla: From dried amla berries, amla oil helps hair from graying prematurely, prevents shedding and dandruff, strengthens hair, and stimulates hair growth. Above all else, be sure to see a doctor when you can but these are some natural tips that may help out in the meantime. Best of luck to you :-)

Answer 5

Maybe it's simply because your hair is too long. The longer the hair, the heavier the burden for the roots--hence they release the hair to relieve excessive pressure on the roots. Try getting a trim.
If you want to keep them long, try changing your hair care products. About a year ago, I switched to organic conditioner and I haven't had any problems with hair loss. Also, it helps if you change your shampoo every time the bottle runs out. Using the same shampoo over and over again tends to dull the hair and weaken the roots.
Lastly, also pay attention to your diet. Avoid junk food as the chemicals and preservatives in those also play a big part in hair, skin, and nails.
Good luck!

Answer 7

This is a very good remedy for hair loss; take a strong multi-vitamin & mineral (your local health hsop should advise you), plus 2 grams of vitamin C & zinc.There'll be zinc in the multi-vitamin but take the extra dose as instructed until the hair begins to grownormally.
Also, use shampoos that contain sodium laureth sulphate. Your local health shop should have ones without. Jason, faith in nature do some good ones & they're not that much more expensive but well worth it.
(this iste has some also, check ingredients as some have s.l.s) it's free P&P in UK

Tips
-if you can, wash hair every other day or every two days-it just depends how oily your hair gets.
-leave conditioner on for 10 minutes at least and don't put it on roots.
-drink lots of water and eat a lot of protein such as meat and peanut butter cause your hair is made from protein.
-always use a leave in conditioner for split ends.
-trim hair once a month since split ends stops hair growth.

I would go to see your doctor who can refer you to a specialist.There are supplements in health shops that are designed to supply the vitamins needed for healthy hair,and shampoos designed to help any problems with the scalp.Also if you are under any stress that won't help so try to stay away from stressful situations as much as you can,even though thats often difficult.My first stop would be the doctor though

Nioxin - you can get in the the salon. I swear by it! Most salons have samples so maybe ask your hair stylist. And if it starts to become worse, maybe try hair extensions. If Nioxin doesnt help I would seek help from a physician, they can also prescribe meds as well as review your diet and health to make sure it isnt something more serious than hair genetics.
