A low glycemic diet creates male patterned baldness in women. I was able to reverse my hair loss by using a low glycemic diet. I'm 46 and my hair was thinning, and now it's very thick. I teach people how to do this. It's easy.
I'm sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say a high glycemic diet causes hair loss. A low glycemic diet allows the hair to grow back in very thick.
I had traumatic stress which triggered all over hair loss. My dermatologist suggested biotin. My hair is still coming out but new hair is coming in continuously! It takes about 6 solid months of taking the supplement but you will see results, don't stop taking and continue it even after you have new growth to prevent a relapse.
One more thing I forgot to add, Women in India use castor oil on their lashes to make them grow thicker and longer, they also use this around hair line to prevent hair loss, you will find many lash growth serums have castor oil in them. I would suggest also, castor treatments at night around thinning hair areas, and wash hair in morning after all you dont want to go around all day with greasy hair and a clean scalp reduces hair loss, read my other suggestion for hair loss on this same page under Watkins in TN, very good info that works.
Im currently Taking Prenatal Vitamins, I'm not pregnant at all. I recently cut off about 6 inches from my hair, which was sooo dumb and I missed it so now I'm trying to regrow it and so far its grown about half an inch. :)
First off a clean scalp free of sebum and dandruff is a must, wash hair daily, dont let grease build on your scalp this causes sebum which causes more hair to fall out, ever noticed how your hair sheds when you have dandruff?. But do use a good conditioner, conditioner is not the same as natural wax oily build up.
Next take 500 mg of niacin, this stimulates circulations and rushes blood to vessels.
Take 1,000 mg of biotin, 200 mg of folic acid and a nice super B vit complex, trust me this combo will make your hair grow fast you will have to shave your legs every though. Last but no least, eat high protein diet, lack of protein rich food will cause your hair to fall out, another reason why anorexics have thin hair, check out Angilina Jolie sometime, big hair loss happening there! A slight bald spot will form at crown of head, or thinner hair area first sign of protein deficientcy. Thick hair comes from proper diet.
Go to your local store and get prenatal vitamins. It helps with skin and hair. You don't have to be pregnant to take them.
Easy solution. Break all the mirrors in your house so you can't see your reflection anymore and don't look at your own reflection whenever you're in public and you'll forget all about your hair loss! Of course, you'll have about 28 years of bad luck but, hey, you're losing your hair... how much worse can your luck get, right?
I used to put Head and Shoulders shampoo on my hair when I was a teenager and I used it like it was a mousse. I did this retarded thing for years not knowing that the shampoo had chemicals in it which clogged the pores on my head and killed the hair follicles. I only have a receding hairline, but I am slowly reversing the process. I do a few things; Comb my hair twice a day, Massage the hair for 10 minutes everyday, Use a shampoo that does not have Sodium Laureth Sulfate such as Organic Shampoo, Take Saw Palmetto pills 3 times a day to stop DHT, Eat almonds, and Drink 2 bottles of water every single day. Do this for 1 year and you will be amazed. Praise be to Allah.
Mash one avocado, one lemon, and one tablespoon of honey. Rub into scalp twice a week. Gets rid of dandruff and triggers hair regrowth.
You might not believe it but the vitamin supplement pills you take while pregnant really help your hair to grow! I took them for a long time and my hair grew about seven inches in six months. As soon as I stopped taking them my hair began to break back to its original length. So i try to take them regularly- they prevent hair loss because they provide the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins your body needs. It doesn't matter which brand you take- as long as they're specifically for pregnancy because those pills have two times the amount of vitamins in normal vitamin supplements.
here is a list of things I have found to cause my hair to fall:
-alcohool
-High sodium foods (this one is a killer of hair)
-soft drinks (this one too)
-high fat, high sugar diet
-too much coffee,
-not drinking enough water(causes scalp to dry up and hair loss occurs, you would be surprised how much hairloss you can prevent when you make sure you hair and scalp have their right moisture)
-cigarette
-lack of sleep, bad sleeping quality
-not brushing your teeth
-lighting (indoor neons and light bulbs emit infrared radiation that causes hairloss, trust ive done the test and its true...so all the lightings in school and offices are bad for our health, i never turn put a light on top of my head)
-bleaching your hair
steps I have taken to stimulate growth and reduce loss:
I am taking a product that I just love so much I wish everyone knew about it. It's called nutri-cap from Nutri-santé Laboratoires . It is composed mainly of three products, pills, lotion and shampoo. They are all natural, the side-effects of the pills are non-existant yet more effective than those prescription solutions. I don't work for that company lol, im an engineer but I wish more people new about it.
so basically: eat well(you would be surprised how changing your diet helps), get some natural sunshine, hydrate yourself, exercise, and take a product to reduce loss and promote growth and you can reverse the process.
Feel free to email me at ybellavance@gmail.com if you have any questions and don't worry, its not because a hair falls that it cannot grow back.
I use egg yolks, mayo, or beer (alternating). I've tried cider vinegar, but it only worsened the condition for me. Instead, I boil fresh nettle (can be purchased at health food/herbal store). After it cools, I rinse my hair with it. No more falling, and no more flakes.
Have your doctor check your iron. If your iron is low, hair loss could be a side effect. Especially after having a baby!!
I started using soft soap (with aloe Vera) one day in the shower when I ran out of shampoo. It made my hair naturally thick. As a hair stylist, I also make sure I massage my scalp for a good 10 minutes in small circular motions using the tips of your fingers--never fingernails-I find that massage works to stimulate the much needed blood supply back to the scalp because it is the highest point for the blood to flow and blood breeds oxygen to the hair follicle-most hair loss is attributed to either not rinsing the shampoo thoroughly on the scalp leaving a residue and clogging the shaft with chemicals. Never put any add-in in your hair unless it is only for a few hours and washes off before the days end (like makeup on the face). Hardly and only when necessary used conditioner in the hair-this adds unneeded oils that can again clog the pours in the scalp and leave it too soft and limply causing the junk of unneeded hair repairs to go in and damaging any chance there is to keep the scalp clean and residue free. Never use hats or caps for extended periods of time-only in and out of the cold or use tube hats that keep the top of the head free and scalp breathing. Finally, only towel dry the hair with paper towels-yes and use the repeated small circular motions going to massage it dry--don't use a hair dryer as this contributes to dry scalp and flakes left on the scalp can again cause a residue that blocks the hair shaft and causes it to lose the hair in undue stress.
The towel use can cause friction that leads to negative ions and electrically charged hair that also causes undue stress. The paper towels builds up much volume. These are preventative therapy to keep the hair you already have and avoid losing any more. Once a while use mayonnaise (eggs has protein hair needs) to soften the hair and beer (Hopps and alcohol rejuvenate the hair back to firmness it needs to be) keep it always washed free of any residue and always use water that is a bit tapped temperature(warm temp water but on the cooler side) and continue doing those little circle massages throughout the wash/dry cycles of the hair washing/setting.
Finally to regrow hair lost only put the halipino oil in the spots that require hair regrowth and massage it for a few minutes--followed by the mayonnaise and beer remedy in the spot that requires the hair (ie crown or forehead region) To avoid flaky scalp use all of the above and rinse with apple cider vinegar to bring it under control=in the beginning this may cause the scalp to go greasy so you may have to do it every other day until the scalp shows no more signs of flakes.
