what can you do?
Start by taking care of your overall body health. You’d be surprised by how maintaining a good diet and exercise routine can help achieve your goal of preventing further hair loss.
Increase Protein Intake
Protein is an essential nutrient to boost hair growth, the main factor for hair loss is proven to be a lack of protein. Food sources rich in protein includes soy, beans, seafood, nuts, seeds, eggs, and lean meat.
Eating More Iron
It is especially important for people who do not eat meat as their bodies have much higher iron requirements. Food sources rich in iron includes turkey, beef, oysters, lentils, pumpkin seeds, and white beans.
Massage and Aromatherapy
Regular massage on the scalp can help stimulate blood flow to the scalp. It is extra effective when paired with essential oils such as coconut oil and rosemary oil. The scent of these oils can also help accelerate hair growth.
Reduce Stress
Researchers believe that stress can induce a type of stress hormone called Cortisol, and may disrupt the human hair growth cycle.
