Keep reading to know about each treatment in detail.

 

  • A Balanced Diet

 

We are starting this list from the basic level – daily diet. Our diet doesn’t only affect our bodily health but also our hair health. Therefore, it is essential to consume a well-balanced diet. Our diet must include a diverse range of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and good fats. These elements are crucial for a healthy body and hair. Moreover, cutting back on sugar intake also helps.

These food items contain many important vitamins, proteins, and minerals required by our bodies to function properly. Moreover, keeping ourselves hydrated is also important. Otherwise, our scalp gets affected and it becomes dry and scaly, leading to dry and weak hair.

So, include the following food items in your diet and see the difference:

  • Iron-rich food items – beans, leafy vegetables, eggs, lean beef, iron-rich grains
  • Omega-3 fatty acid-rich food items – fish, flaxseed, egg yolk, nuts
  • Protein-rich food items – eggs, lean meat, seafood

 

  • Oiling

 

Sometimes, hair loss is not because of any deeper cause but because we neglect our hair. Due to the presence of harsh chemicals in hair care products, environmental pollution, and heating equipment, our hair gets damaged quickly. To avoid this type of damage, it is essential to regularly massage our hair with essential oils.

Research shows that different types of hair oil have a positive effect on damaged hair. They can restore the damaged locks and stimulate regrowth, as well.

Some of these oils include:

  • Peppermint oil
  • Rosemary oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Castor oil
  • Olive oil
  • Almond oil

 

  • Prescription and OTC Medicine

 

If the basic methods fail to have a positive effect on our hair, we should move to medication. Although there are over-the-counter drugs available for hair regrowth, always consult an expert before using anything new.

The FDA has approved only 2 drugs that can be used in hair loss treatment:

  • Minoxidil (Rogaine) – an over-the-counter drug available in the form of foam or liquid.
  • Finasteride – a prescription medicine that needs to be taken daily.

The only downside to these medicines is that to keep the results, they need to be regularly taken. Once we stop taking the medicines, the results start disappearing.

 

  • Laser Treatment

 

Laser treatment is more commonly used for hair removal, but recently, it has been making appearances in the hair restoration world. Currently, a lot of research is being carried out on using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to treat hair loss.

We see laser combs, brushes, hoods, and caps being developed every now and then. However, there is still not enough evidence to support the claim that LLLT can stop hair loss. But scientists are very optimistic so maybe in the near future, they will have a breakthrough.

 

  • Hair Transplant

 

Finally, the most common hair restoration method is a hair transplant. The 2 most used techniques to perform a transplant are:

  • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): It is the more traditional method for hair transplantation. In this technique, a strip of skin is removed from the back of the scalp. Usually, there are abundant hairs in this region. The hair follicles that are not dormant are then extracted from this strip and implanted in the bald spots. This technique usually leaves a linear scar behind.
  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This technique is slightly newer. In this technique, non-dormant hair follicles are extracted one by one from the scalp directly. Then, they are implanted in the bald or thinning areas. As a result of the extraction, several tiny puncture marks on the scalp are left.

Apart from these treatments, we can also make some lifestyle adjustments to prevent our hair from falling. Some of these are mentioned below:

 

  • No Smoking

 

Not that this is a good habit in any way, but smoking can have an extremely bad impact on our hair. So, if we continue smoking, we may not only lose our lungs but also our hair. Therefore, it may be a great idea to stop smoking once and for all. People may be able to see our roasted lungs, but they will see a bald head from a mile away.

 

  • Regular Scalp Massages

 

These things are a godsend. If you are someone who regularly massages, you’ll know what we are talking about.

Massages have a way of making us relaxed and calm. After getting a massage, we feel elevated and fresher than before. So, include scalp massages in your routine and see the difference.

A scalp massage will not only energize you but it will also have a positive effect on your hair. When we massage our scalp, it improves the blood circulation in our head and stimulates the hair follicles. So, massage regularly to prevent hair loss.

 

  • Reducing Stress

 

One of the prime suspects of hair loss is stress. Try to de-stress yourself if you have been feeling stressed lately. If stress is the cause of your hair loss it will go away once you have relaxed.

Try meditating or exercise. You can do yoga, too. Listening to calming music also helps. Doing anything that calms your nerves is a great de-stressor, be it cooking, gardening, reading, or anything else. So, try one of these and feel the difference.

  • Being Nice to Our Hair

 

Lastly, treat your hair gently. Don’t use hard and bristle brushes and combs. If possible, use your fingers to untangle your hair after a shower. Moreover, don’t use heating equipment, like hairdryers, irons, and rollers, too much. They suck out all the moisture from hair leaving them dry and rough. As a result, there is more breakage.
