Nov 28, 2024
Hair Health and Hair Loss Prevention
Importance of Hair
Having a full head of hair is linked to increased attractiveness in men.
Men with thicker hair are perceived as more successful and approachable.
Hair loss is becoming more common among men, especially in their 20s.
Causes of hair loss include:
Stress
Lifestyle and diet
Genetics
Understanding Normal Hair Loss
Normal shedding: Losing 50-100 strands per day is normal.
Hair looks thin when wet, but should regain volume when dry.
Hair Care Practices
Wetting Hair Daily
Wetting hair daily can lead to cortex swelling and hygral fatigue.
Use dry shampoo instead of washing hair daily.
Shampooing
Massage shampoo gently into the scalp rather than rubbing it roughly.
Avoid scrubbing the scalp.
Heat Application
Excessive heat can cause hair breakage.
Reduce blow dryer usage; let hair air dry when possible.
Use a heat protectant if blow drying.
Combing Hair
Avoid combing hair when completely wet.
Use a wide-tooth comb when hair is damp for textured hair, or slightly dry for straight hair.
Hair Products
Avoid products with long-lasting holds frequently.
Opt for hairstyles that don’t require heavy product use.
Recommended Practices for Healthy Hair
Co-Washing
Wash hair with conditioner only, skipping shampoo to avoid sulfates that strip natural oils.
Conditions provide hydration.
Managing Sleep and Stress
Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep for healthy body functions, including hair.
Identify and manage stressors.
Post-Workout Hair Care
Avoid daily washes post-exercise.
Use conditioning masks or cold air from a blow dryer to manage sweat.
Being Gentle
Be extra careful with delicate hair areas like the hairline.
Diet and Supplements
Supplements are crucial alongside a hair routine for preventing hair loss.
Recommended supplements include:
Minoxidil for hair growth
Finasteride to prevent shedding (consult a doctor)
Biotin and hair growth vitamins like iron, folic acid, zinc, vitamins B12, B7, C, and D.
Red Light Therapy
Stimulates hair follicles and promotes growth.
