There are many causes of thinning hair, including the stress factor. If your hair becomes thin, don't be upset. The following article will guide you through many ways to help treat thinning hair.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Stimulate hair growth

1. 

   Use gentle hair care products. When you notice that your hair is thinning, switch to mild, all-natural hair products. Many shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, and other products contain chemicals that are too strong for the scalp and hair to induce hair loss and damage the rest of the hair.
   • Use shampoo that does not contain sulfate or alcohol. These ingredients are very dry and damaging to the hair.
   • Look for a silicone-free conditioner. This ingredient causes severe headaches and needs to use shampoo containing sulfate to wash it off.
   • Look for hair styling products that contain natural ingredients in a safe food store.

2. 

   
   
   Comb with a brush instead of a hair brush. Brushing your hair tends to cause hair loss, especially when your hair is wet. The best way to keep your hair straight is to use a wide tooth comb. Start brushing from a position near the head, straightening from the front roots, then brushing down the ends.

3. 

   Let your hair dry naturally. To avoid excessive hair loss after showering, you should gently wipe your hair with a soft towel - avoid tightening and wrapping the towels. Let your hair dry naturally instead of using a hair dryer, as the heat from the blow dryer can cause dryness and breakage. The more often you let your hair dry naturally, the more you will stimulate new hair growth.

4. 

   
   
   Use heat-free styling technology. Avoid using curling irons, straighteners, or any other hot tools to style your hair. Try to wrap your hair naturally and limit your styling whenever possible. When using heat tools to style your hair, keep it on as low and as cool as possible.
   • There are plenty of heat-free hairstyles available - you can try different curls or stretches and find the right one.

5. 

   
   
   Avoid hairstyles that are prone to hair loss. Tight braids, wavy curls, and back-stretching styles can make hair fall out more easily. Try pulling your hair down or making it loose. Avoid tying hair pins or tying hair pins as this can cause jerky hairs.

6. 

   Massage the scalp with a balm such as egg oil or almond / mustard / coconut / jojoba oil. Scalp massages are thought to stimulate hair growth by increasing circulation around the hair follicles. Start making a habit of massaging your scalp in the shower. Place your fingertips on your scalp and rub gently in circular motions. Begin the massage at a position near the forehead, pull it along the sides and slowly retreat towards the head. You should focus on massaging thin thin hair.

7. 

   Consider using hair growth stimulants. The most common hair growth stimulant is Minoxidil. This medication comes in a cream or foam form that can be applied directly to the scalp 2 times a day for 12 weeks. Many people recover their hair during treatment with Minoxidil. However, according to the US Food and Drug Administration, taking Minoxidil may pose a number of health risks that you should be careful of. You can use other alternatives like:
   • Hair transplants. Hair is transplanted onto the scalp, then it will grow thicker in the thinning area.
   • Scalp transplant surgery. The bald patches are surgically removed, and a patch of scalp covering the hair will be applied to the incision.

Part 2 of 3: Find the cause of your hair loss

1. 

   Consider whether the hormone factor is causing thinning of the hair. The most common cause of thinning in men and women is due to a genetic factor in sex hormones that causes hair loss in a characteristic pattern. The pattern of baldness in men or women, although a permanent condition, there are definitely some steps you can take to help control and treat baldness.
   • Sometimes the hormonal change can lead to temporary hair loss. Women who are pregnant, stopping birth control pills, or going through menopause may experience temporary thinning of their hair.
   • Gentle treatment of hair, using all-natural hair care products, and changing your hairstyle can help slow hormone-induced hair loss.

2. 

   Determine health status. Some diseases can cause hair loss. Treating these conditions can help hold or prevent hair loss. If you know you have one of the following conditions, talk to your doctor to start a treatment program to help your hair grow back.
   • Thyroid problems. When the thyroid is abnormally functioning, hair loss is more likely than usual.
   • Scalp infections and skin disorders. Hair loss can be caused by a skin condition, such as ringworm. Treatment can help hair grow again.
   • Alopecia areata (Alopecia areata). This is a disorder of the immune system and directly affects hair follicles.

3. 

   Drug examination. Certain medications can lead to hair loss. If you are on medication that has the side effects of hair loss, talk to your doctor about an alternative. If you are unable to switch to another drug, you should also consider it carefully. Medicines to treat the following conditions can cause thinning of the hair:
   • Cancer
   • Depression
   • Heart problems
   • Arthritis
   • High Blood Pressure

4. 

   Determine if stress is the cause. Hair loss can be caused by a physical or emotional shock or from stress. Any kind of shock to the body can cause a physical reaction, and hair loss is a common condition in shock.
   • If you are chronically stressed, addressing the cause of the stress is an important way to keep yourself healthy.

Part 3 of 3: Lifestyle changes

1. 

   Reduce stress. Stress can cause hair loss, so methods to help reduce stress can limit hair loss. If your life is too stressful, you can apply the following daily relaxation techniques:
   • Sleep more. Lack of sleep can produce the stress hormone cortisol.
   • Exercise regularly.
   • Try meditating or practicing yoga.

2. 

   Eat plenty of protein. Protein is one of the building blocks of hair, so hair loss can occur if you have a protein deficiency. Vegetarians and vegans often experience thinning hair due to a lack of protein. You can eat a variety of the following foods:
   • Fish, chicken, beef and pork
   • Black beans, chickpeas and other beans
   • Tofu
   • Milk product

3. 

   Supplement with Omega-3. The body needs omega-3 fatty acids to create new hair. Eating plenty of omega-3s is essential for hair growth, so try the following foods:
   • Salmon
   • Pilchard
   • Walnuts
   • Avocado

4. 

   Take Biotin supplements. Biotin is a B vitamin found in animal products that helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy. Biotin supplements are often touted as hair growth stimulants for this reason. You should take Biotin as recommended or increase your intake of foods containing Biotin such as liver and other meat products, walnuts and green leafy vegetables. advertisement
