10 ways to prevent hair loss
Worried about your thinning hair lines or bald spots? Here are a few suggestions that may help you combat
hair loss.
Follow Proper Diet
Dietary habits influence hair growth in men and women. Nutrients such as protein, vitamin and iron are essential for the proper growth of hair. Vitamins A, C, E, B12 and D can prevent hair loss and help regenerate the barren follicles. Green leafy vegetables, eggs, shrimps, and walnuts are rich in these nutrients and can promote hair growth.
Apply Oil
Applying oil can keep your hair healthy. Oil increases the moisture content on the scalp. It also increases blood circulation around the hair follicles, making the hair grow more healthy and attractive. Commercially available hair care oils also contain herbs, which have medicinal value, so they improve the overall health of the hair.
Wash with Water
Water is essential to maintain the acid level in the body. Water also helps improve blood circulation and maintain the moisture content in hair follicles. Washing can keep your hair and scalp clean. It also prevents the chances of infections. Use mild shampoo to clean your hair. Avoid using shampoos that contain chemicals that cause dry scalp.
Avoid hard brushing
Brushing the hair is good for the scalp if done in a proper manner. Do not brush the hair when it is wet. Remove the tangles before brushing the hair. Avoid brushing occasionally. Use soft-bristled brush to comb your hair.
Avoid hard drying
Dry the hair gently after washing using a soft towel. Avoid drying vigorously because it may damage the hair.
Keep your stress under control
Stress can cause hair loss in men and women. Avoid conditions that can induce stress. Be sure to get proper sleep. A healthy body is more likely to produce healthy hair than a non-healthy body. Doing regular exercise and following a good diet will also promote hair growth.
Avoid eating food items that inhibit hair growth
Avoid eating low-calorie liquid diets as they deplete your energy in a major way. Also avoid raw egg white as it can harbor bacteria that cause damage to hair follicle.
Medications
Several medications are available in the market to promote hair growth in men and women. Popular medications like Propecia are effective in treating baldness in men. However, these drugs are also known to cause serious side effects like sexual dysfunction, prostate cancer, etc. Capixyl is another solution to treat hair loss.
Capixyl is not reported to have any side effects.
Consider Supplements
Certain vitamin and mineral supplements will help you regain hair growth. Consider taking supplements such as biotin, inositol, iron, vitamin C and saw palmetto, which are clinically proven to support hair growth.
Hair Transplants
Consider other therapies like hair restoration surgeries, laser treatment or HRT if your hair loss is not curable using the above methods. Hair transplant surgeries have brought success in several men suffering from androgenic alopecia. Advanced hair restoration techniques such as ARTAS have simplified hair transplant process.

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
