As with most things concerning the body, prevention plays a big role when it comes to health. Caring for your hair, keeping it healthy and avoiding the problem in the first place is to treat hair loss.
One of the major reasons hair losses occurs is the lack of nutrients and vitamins in your body. Besides giving you a healthy and great looking head of hair a change in your diet may go a long way in helping you prevent or delay hair loss.
Make sure that at least half of what you eat every day is fruits, vegetables, whole grains, boiled potatoes or brown rice. These are essential unrefined carbohydrates and are a source of energy and B vitamins that are great for healthy hair.

Stress related baldness has a scientific name – Telogen Effluvium. Stay out of stress! Stress can actually make you lose your hair faster, if not make it weak and allow it to fall out altogether. Sleep early and wake up early.
If you have a family history of balding genes, take preventive hair loss measures. Simple procedures like using a mild shampoo and conditioner, and gentle brushing or combing would really help for good hair structure.
On the pharmaceutical side, we now have many options for preventing and stopping hair loss. Most of the serve two main purpose. Firstly, they serve to block the DHT hormone (the cause of male hair loss) from reaching and destroying vulnerable hair follicles and second to stimulate and increase the blood circulation that is crucially needed to feed and nurture the existing hair follicles that are prone to the effects of male hair loss. Without a good blood circulation the hair follicles will gradually shrink and die.
Lastly, lead a healthy lifestyle. Stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, which can thin your hair out and wreak havoc on your body.
It is sometimes unfortunate that we appreciate what we have when we already lost them. Take care of your hair before it’s too late.
