Hair loss is a nagging issue everyone will come across at one stage in life. Although hair loss is something we cannot avoid, we can however, control it. There are many ways of reducing hair loss, but the most effective methods are those that focus on scalp care. Because most of our hair is located on the head or in other words the foundation of hair is established on it. So, if we are to have stronger hair we definitely need to reinforce its foundation which is the scalp. How then can one look after their hair's foundation, so they can reduce hair loss and baldness?

It is very simple to look after your hair's foundation, all you need to do is to make sure it is supplied with all the building blocks and maintenance material. You can supply the building blocks of hair through the diet. You will need to adjust your diet, i.e. reduce excess fats and carbohydrates while increasing the proteins amino acids and vitamins. These nutrients are very essential in the production of hair strands as well as maintaining the hair follicular cells.

The next thing you need to look at is to make sure that the hair is properly washed. You can do this by using some shampoos that are designed to get rid of dandruff and excess fats on the scalp. This is very important for dandruff can trap bacteria and other harmful microbes which can have negative effects on hair follicles in fact some of them can irritate hair follicles until they die off. So it is very important to look at the hygiene component of hair. There are also some hair oils that can be applied which lubricate the hair, so that it does not become too brittle which would otherwise make it more vulnerable to breakage.

The next thing to look at is cardiovascular exercise. Blood circulation plays a pivotal role in the growth and maintenance of hair. A good blood circulation around the head ensures that all the hair follicle cells are supplied of energy and all toxins that are released by these cells are removed efficiently. This will also make sure that the area around the head is well supplied with red blood cells. Red blood cells play a very important role in hair growth. Research has even shown that in order to rejuvenate hair growth, you first have to stimulate red cell production in the areas that are experiencing hair loss. The result is that the red blood cells will provide a good supply of oxygen around the area of hair loss which will awaken any hair follicles that had gone dormant.

Stress has also been linked to hair loss. It is therefore important to reduce any factors that can cause stress. The best way to control stress is to go for therapies like acupuncture and massages which stimulate the body to release hormones that have a relaxing effect on the mind.
