How to stop thinning hair can be as vastly different as heredity and menopause. There are a great number of people seeking the solution. If you are experiencing less hair than you remember, there are some steps you can take to restore your hair.
How to stop thinning hair may be one of your main concerns if this is happening to you. This occurrence more than likely causes a significant impact on your self esteem.
Thinning hair is a concern for both men, women, and children. It's accepted that most men start to lose their hair as they grow older but 40% of women over the age of 40 also experience hair loss. This can be due to hormonal changes as women grow older.
The following are suggestions to stop the thinning of your hair:
1. A topical ointment that contains minoxidil which is the main element that goes into the scalp and promotes hair growth. These can be purchased over the counter.
A natural topical product would be almond oil. Use this product by massaging it into the scalp and hair, leave it in for about 30 minutes and then wash it out with a gentle shampoo. This works to make hair thicker but this needs to be done on a regular basis 2-3 times a week. If you commit yourself to doing this and be patient you will see a difference after about a month.
2. An extreme measure would be to ask your doctor about a treatment known as Finastende. This would have to be recommended by your doctor.
3. Over the counter and/or prescriptions shampoos will encourage hair growth and prevent hair from thinning.
4. Natural vitamins are known to help with thinning hair. Some vitamins to try would be B6, saw palmetto, follic acid, and biotin to name a few.
5. Cut down on or stop using chemicals on the hair such as peroxide hair dyes, perms, or straighteners. These can dramatically damage fragile thin hair. If you feel the need to color your hair there are many non peroxide hair dyes. There are recipes for home made dyes as well. One natural way to dye hair is henna. Do your home work and find these recipes on the internet.
I know from experience what a traumatic and embarrassing thing it can be to lose your hair but while trying some of these ideas, relax and remember that people are more interested in your personality than your hair!
