The doctor explains how certain habits can contribute to healthy hair
Hair loss is a ghost that haunts many people. Far from the reasons in which the problem is even expected, such as the puerperium, nutritional disorders that generate anemia, stress, among others, noticing hair loss can generate emotional disorders and tendencies to make choices that aggravate even more the condition.
Therefore, we consulted a professional on the subject to list 10 things that can reduce hair loss. The doctor. Ademir C. Leite Júnior, who is a doctor and trichologist, adds that “there are many diagnoses of hair loss that are more easily reversible when the patient is involved in treatment that causes him to change habits that are harmful to health in general”.
1. Reduce stress
Most patients who complain of hair loss have or have experienced some type of hair loss fatigue which may have caused the problem.
2. Pay attention to the scalp
Dandruff or flaking, wounds, pain and itching of the scalp are among the most recurring signs among patients with hair loss. There are cases where the person still shows these signs at the time of treatment.
3. Keep the scalp clean and hygienic
The fear of seeing sagging threads while the shower is strangely a reason why some people avoid washing their hair. This is a paradox, as proper and routine hygiene contributes to capillary health. If there is an indication of severe hair loss that you feel in the wash, you should go to the office to add more information into the diagnosis.
Washing hair does not improve hair loss. In fact, when people don’t wash to avoid the perceived loss from bathing, they end up leaving their scalps feeling dirty for longer. This dirt, by itself, could further aggravate hair loss.
4. Do physical exercises
Exercises release endorphins which reduce stress and, consequently, hair loss.
5. Decrease your alcohol consumption
Alcohol intake causes an increase in the production of free radicals in our body body, which promote inflammation in some tissues, including the skin on the scalp. Any inflammation can promote more hair loss. Also, alcohol itself wears out the body, as it takes more effort for our bodies to metabolize ethanol. Metabolism wear and tear is one of the factors that can lead to hair loss.
6. Avoid smoking
It has been scientifically proven that smoking, by producing free radicals in our body, promotes hair loss.
7. Avoid self-medication
Self-medication is a common but dangerous habit, as it can cause significant damage to the Health who practices it. More than the risks that it accompanies, if any complication occurs due to self-medication, the patient ends up without the support of a doctor who would be responsible for prescribing this or that medicine.
8. Don’t waste time and seek a doctor
Most hair loss patients have already had experience with miraculous formulas or products that promise to cure hair loss and are sold in large numbers in pharmacies, supermarkets and on the internet. When they realize this, they realize they’ve wasted their hair and time with solutions that haven’t helped at all. With the help of a doctor, as well as a well-made diagnosis, the individual will come out with an effective prescription to fix the problem.
9. Fix hormonal issues
many falls from hair are related to hormonal problems. Diagnosing these problems and correcting them is often enough to stop hair loss.
10. Start treatment to avoid anxiety
Hair does not recover overnight. Looking in the mirror desperate for new hair doesn’t help matters. To make matters worse, anxiety will act like stress, increasing hair loss.
