Chances are, you’ve experienced losing a clump of hair in the shower or after combing here and there. People often dismiss it as a regular occurrence, especially with age. You might assume to experience hair loss as you get much older. But what if you notice hair thinning and always lose a bunch of hair strands in your 30s?
It’s normal to experience hair shedding between 50 to 100 hairs per day. But if you feel you see more hair than that, and it frequently happens, coupled with thinning hair beginning at the top of your head, then you should be alarmed.
For women, some of the known causes of hair loss are hormonal imbalances, such as when pregnant or too stressed. It may also be due to dandruff and dry skin, leading to itching and hair loss. Aside from that, your lifestyle may also cause its early occurrence, especially when you smoke and have poor nutrition.
Unfortunately, some of you may experience hair loss only because you got the genes for it. Yes, hair loss can be hereditary, and the female pattern of baldness is common with onset at the age of 30.
Luckily, we got you covered. Don’t worry too much about your gradual hair loss, as here are some hair care solutions you can try.
Use the right shampoo
One of the best solutions for hair loss is to use anti-thinning shampoos to offer the much-needed nourishment for your hair follicles to thicken the fine and thin hair. You also have to know your scalp type and use a gentler shampoo not loaded with chemicals that may cause hair breakage. Overwashing your hair when you have a dry scalp may also lead to hair loss.
Get proper nutrition
As cliché as it may sound, it is important to have a balanced diet and maintain regular exercise. Get the right nutrients, specifically protein and iron, to reduce the risk of hair loss. Since stress and lack of proper nutrition are some of their causes, it is also better to address these problems from within.
Get a haircut
Losing hair and having thinner strands does not mean you should not cut your hair shorter. It’s a great thing to opt for a layered hairstyle to make your hair look fuller and with volume. No matter the length, you can also style your hair by using rollers and blow dry your hair to make it appear bulkier, thus covering up the fact that you have thinner hair.
Just remember not to style your hair too frequently, and whenever you do, make sure to use hair protection to minimize further damage.
Color your hair
If you want to do a short-term solution to “look” like you have thick and fuller hair, then you may look for hair colors to try. With the right color, it can add some depth to your thin hair and help you revamp your whole look. Try to opt for highlights to add more depth to your hair and give it the illusion of more volume.
Aside from making your hair look fuller, changing your hair color can also leave you more confident about yourself.
If you’re looking for a temporary solution, you can consider using a hair thickener spray to conceal hair loss. Using a hair building fiber spray to transform your thinning hair and cover up your scalp allows you style your hair however you want to.
Massage your head
It is essential to have a healthy scalp first to prevent further hair loss. You can try massaging your scalp with ginseng or other oil to stimulate blood circulation for a healthier scalp to nourish the roots. You can do it once a week with a gentle oil that suits the condition of your scalp. Wash it off with shampoo after two hours covered in a shower cap. That’s a simple salon-style home remedy for hair fall problems.
Aside from ginseng, you may also try out other ingredients at home for a DIY treatment for hair loss, such as coconut oil, aloe vera, olive oil, and rosemary oil, among others. Some of these have been known as skincare essentials, such as aloe vera, which is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, and rosemary, which stimulates hair growth.
In Conclusion
Hair thinning and hair loss is not something you should be ashamed of. It is common for women at age 30 and older. But as early as now, you can start taking more care of your scalp and hair to prevent further hair loss. Before you proceed to make temporary adjustments to make your hair look fuller, you should first try massaging your scalp and using gentler shampoo. But, if you think your hair loss is something alarming, then go to a healthcare provider to have it checked.
