Like it or not, every man and woman is up against two formidable causes of hair loss: DHT and an unhealthy scalp.
Before you run screaming to your stepdad's hair-plug doctor, we've got some tips to promote a healthy scalp, reduce hair loss, and keep your follicle game strong.
DHT Sensitivity: DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a naturally occurring hormone in both men and women. The more sensitive you are to DHT, the more hair loss you will experience. As your hair follicles go through the cycle of growth, regression, and shedding, DHT will cause the follicles to shrink, making the hair thinner, shorter, and easier to shed. You can't cure it, but there are products that can help combat it.
An Unhealthy Scalp: The secret to a healthy scalp is more than just skin deep. Good cell turnover, which is important for creating a healthy environment for your hair to grow, is dramatically reduced with an unhealthy scalp. A regular hair care routine, quality hair products, as well as a healthy diet all contribute to improving scalp health.
1. Wash your hair every 2-3 days with a high quality shampoo.
2. Condition your hair every time you wash it. It helps replace the natural moisture that was stripped during shampooing.
3. If you use product in your hair, exfoliate your scalp once a month. Even with regular washing, buildup can occur and slow hair growth.
