How to Prevent Hair Loss: Tips for Healthy, Lush Locks

Although there are treatments to help hair loss once it has started to happen, preventative measures might help keep your hair in a strong and healthy-looking condition.

What are these preventative measures? And do they work? This article will look at what you can do to keep your hair in the best shape possible so the chances of hair loss might be reduced.

Is It Possible to Prevent Hair Loss?

It’s difficult to say with certainty whether hair loss can be prevented by good habits, but specific tasks might help the overall state of your hair and, therefore, leave it in a better condition.

Our hair and scalp need the requisite amount of vitamins and minerals to ensure that they can grow effectively as part of standard hair health. One such vitamin, that is provided in supplemental form for those who might not get enough in their diet, is Biotin.

Also known as Vitamin K or Vitamin B7, Biotin helps with the production of keratin, a vital protein that positively contributes towards hair, skin, and nail maintenance

Using a high-quality shampoo that won’t damage your hair follicles or your scalp is also advised. Sons’ DHT-Blocking Shampoo works similarly to Finasteride by reducing DHT levels on your scalp, thus making it less likely you’ll be subjected to hair loss. 

DHT might not be the primary cause of your hair loss but using a shampoo like this can greatly benefit the condition of your hair broadly.

What Lifestyle Tips Should I Consider?

Studies have shown that stress can play its part in affecting the quality and thickness of your hair. Although genetics is indeed the most likely reason for your hair loss, stress has also been shown to be a possible reason for many. Try to reduce your stress where you can with mindful practices and taking time to relax.

Stop smoking altogether and limit your alcohol intake if you consume these. The amount you smoke and drink can have negative consequences to not just your overall health, but your hair too.

When you dry your hair after a shower, don’t aggressively scrub your head with the towel after as this can aggravate the scalp and damage your hair follicles. Similarly, a very hot hair dryer can also damage your strands and rid it of natural moisture so be cautious of how exactly you dry your hair.

We all want to look our best but putting a lot of styling products into your hair is unhealthy. A little bit might be fine but when you regularly use excessive amounts of products containing harmful chemicals, this could be detrimental.
