How to Use Garlic As a Hair Loss Remedy Part III

Method 3 : Changing Your Hair Care Routine

1. Avoid over-shampooing

You can help your hair loss by changing your hair routine. Avoid shampooing too often because frequent shampooing can strip the natural oils from your hair. Frequent shampooing doesn’t really cause hair loss, but if you are stripping the oils from your hair, it can make the hair more fragile.

• It is recommended that you only wash your hair two to three times a week.

2. Stop using chemical heavy shampoos

There are some shampoos that are loaded with chemicals. The extra chemicals can be rough on your hair, dry it out, and make your hair loss worse. Try natural shampoos instead that have ingredients that will nourish your hair, not strip the nutrients from it.

• Avoid using products with ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), parabens, and ammonium chloride, especially if you have thin, fragile, or treated hair.

3. Avoid too much conditioner

Hair loss might be caused by to much conditioner. Conditioners can weigh down the roots of the hair and damage the hair follicles, which can cause it to break and fall out. Use a conditioner one to two times a week and avoid using conditioner on the scalp.

• Try a natural conditioner as well, such as Nature’s Gate, Babo Botanicals, WEN, and Intelligent Nutrients.

Method 4 : Using Medical Hair Loss Treatments

1. Seek medical help

If your hair loss is a perpetual problem, you need to determine the cause of your hair loss. Because of this, a full check up by a physician is strongly recommended. There are many, many diseases where hair loss may be a symptom and it is critical that you try and find the cause of hair loss. There are, however, a number of approaches that can help your situation before you get a diagnosis.

2. Use drug treatment for men

The main drug treatment for men’s hair loss are the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors Proscar and Propecia. The 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors that help block the activity of damaging hormones on the hair follicles. Another drug used to increase hair growth is minoxidil.

• Minoxidil is generally less effective than finasteride, but it can be applied directly to the areas of hair loss.

3. Try drug treatment for women

Women’s hair loss has long been ignored, even though women represent up to 40% of all those who have hair loss. The 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are not often used for women because of potential adverse effects of female hormones. 2% minoxidil is more commonly prescribed because it can be applied to the areas of hair loss, has fewer side effects, and works better for women. Other drugs include aldactone, tagamet, and cyproterone acetate.

• In women, hormone replacement therapy can be helpful. You have to be careful if you are pregnant when taking these medication because they can cause birth defects.
