Stand, do not fall!
Those who have experienced serious hair loss (and this happens with hormonal disorders and serious diseases), without the help of an experienced trichologist, can not do. However, more often than not everything is not so scary and it will be possible to cope with the problem independently, with the help of home remedies. The most typical and common cases we are now investigating.
Case One: Stress
It can not only cause trouble - problems at work, joyful events - a wedding, promotion, long-awaited vacation in an exotic country. Inside. With light stress, you can confine yourself to good old remedies - soothing tinctures and tinctures of valerian, motherwort, preparations with melissa and St. John's Wort. If you feel that because of the experiences you can not concentrate and how to get enough sleep, then contact a psychologist or a psychotherapist. They will prescribe the necessary drugs. When traveling to exotic countries, remember that unusual food and other water (different in chemical composition) - stress for the body. Therefore, the first few days try to choose the usual dishes, and if your stomach is very sensitive, then put in a suitcase a 2-liter bottle of native mineral water - for the first time, until he gets used to new food and drinks. Outwardly. Head massage not only relieves nervous tension, but also stimulates hair growth. Doing it easily: massage your scalp 10-15 minutes a day with pads of your fingers in a circular motion. It is possible to conduct electrotherapy with the help of compact home "Darsonval". Impulsive alternating current increases the outflow of venous blood and lymph and improves metabolism in tissues. Due to the flow of blood to the hair bulbs, the roots of the hair are enriched with oxygen and strengthened. As a rule, the first positive results appear after a few weeks of daily procedures. However, it should be borne in mind that with severe hair loss and the presence of pustular head skin diseases, the massage and Darsonval devices are contraindicated.
Case Two: Improper nutrition
Under it it is necessary to understand not only rigid diets, but also hobby for fashionable now vegetarianism and raw food. Inside. To the hair does not excessively "fly around", the body needs to provide the necessary nutrients for their growth. These include both vegetable and animal fats, as well as proteins. Secondly, because of the low-fat diet, women are disrupted the production of female sex hormones.
Diet of thick hair
And when such a hormonal disorder occurs, the hair leaves its place in the same order as in men, starting from the top of the head. If the losing one excludes animal proteins from his menu, then the body will lack essential amino acids - building "bricks" and "cement" of our tissues. And when there are not enough "building materials", then new cells are not formed, and the old ones are gradually destroyed. Can you guess how this will affect our strands, which are more than 65% protein? We will begin to lose them. To prevent this, eat at least 40-50 grams of animal protein a day and do not avoid fats, just stick to the recommended rate - no more than 40-50 grams per day. Outwardly. Try using pharmacy products with herbal extracts and vitamins. They are much harmless concentrates with hormone-like substances, which cause a side effect - the growth of hair on the face. Still well help vegetable gathering. For example, this: mix 20 grams of roots of ara, burdock, marigold flowers and hop cones. The resulting mixture brew 1 liter of boiling water and let it brew for 2 hours. Finish the product, strain, and apply to the scalp at night. Duration of treatment - one to two months.
The third case: the sun, the sea and the frost
Have you noticed how your hair gets damaged after a trip to the sea? This is the most convincing illustration of the negative effects on them of certain environmental factors. Inside. Under the scorching sun rays and in salt water, we lose not only moisture, but also water-soluble vitamins C, PP, B, necessary for our hair. In hot countries it is necessary to drink up to 4 liters of liquid per day and increase the intake of vitamins: get up to 200 mg of vitamin C , up to 30 mg - PP, 10 mg - B | 2.3 mg - B6, and up to 5 mg - B4 per day. In winter, within the native limits, vitamins are also needed. After all, at this time of the year we get less food. Therefore, take a closer look at chemist's complexes for hair, skin and nails. Choose the most simple, without the newfangled exotic ingredients. "Heaped" drugs are not only more expensive than usual, but you may not be right. Outwardly. In summer and on vacation at sea, be sure to use the products with UV filters. Ideal - protective sprays, which do not need to be washed off the hair. Shampoos and sun conditioners as a protection are less effective. In winter and late autumn, those who neglect headgear, in addition to the usual care to do moisturizing masks. For example, with burdock oil: mix 1 tsp. vinegar or honey with egg yolk (for oily hair - with the egg). The resulting mixture is heated in a water bath, from time to time stirring until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Remove from heat and add 3 tbsp. l. burdock oil. Mask put on the scalp for an hour, wrap it with a towel to keep warm. Then thoroughly wash your hair with shampoo.
