If you are dealing with a hair loss problem, there are different things you can try to keep this problem under control. Go over this article to learn more about hair loss and how to slow down this process.

You should know that there is no way of getting your hair to grow back once it falls. The only thing you can do is slow down your hair loss and hopefully stop this process by taking good care of your hair and adopting a healthier lifestyle. Genetics and aging play a part in hair loss but your bad habits, stress and fatigue can also cause hair loss. A hair loss problem can also be a symptom of a more serious medical condition. If you started losing your hair very suddenly and have noticed other symptoms, you should go see your doctor.

Adopt a good hair care regimen. Start by purchasing quality products, including shampoo, conditioner and a hair mask. Choose products designed to slow down hair loss or strengthen your hair. If you do not see a different after using a product for a month, try a different brand. Do not hesitate to use product advertised as feminine hair care products. Ask your doctor for recommendations if you are not sure which products you should use and stay away from treatments presented as a way of getting your hair to grow back.

You should massage your scalp vigorously for a few minutes on a daily basis. This is the only kind of friction your scalp needs. Avoid wearing hats, do not comb your hair unless you conditioned it and choose a very simple hairstyle so you do not have to use hair styling products or constantly adjust your hair. Avoid touching your hair as much as possible and dry your hair immediately with a blow dryer if it gets wet.

Reduce your stress and fatigue as much as possible. Make some changes to your lifestyle so you can adopt a regular schedule and sleep for eight hours every night. You should be able to reduce your stress by quitting smoking and reducing your caffeine intake, even though withdrawal from nicotine or caffeine will cause your stress to increase for a short period of time. Take a break from your job if you experience work-related stress and look into stress management techniques to keep your stress under control.

Adopting a better diet can also help you slow down hair loss. You should stay away from any kind of food that is too rich in fat or sugar and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Replace red meat with poultry and fish and introduce new foods into your diet such as nuts, seeds and legumes. Take a multi-vitamin supplement too if you are not getting all the vitamins you need from your diet.

Apply these tips and your hair loss will slow down within the next month. Do not hesitate to meet with your doctor if you need help with managing your hair loss or with improving your lifestyle.
