Is your hair starting to thin? Notice hair falling out in the shower? Did your barber make a comment about your hair, “getting a little thin” in the back?
Not to worry, a recent study shows that more than 50% of men start to deal with hair loss by the time they are 50, so you’re not alone. Losing hair can not only affect your appearance but also your confidence.
Today we’re going to run through some things that may cause thinning hair and some things you can do to improve it.
First, let's start with the causes:
- Losing your hair can be hereditary: Is your dad going bald? Or your granddad? Good chance that losing hair is just in your genes. It’s a part of getting older.
- Stress: Science shows stress can play a major part in hair loss or hair thinning. Find ways to minimize stress to help keep your hair full.
- Poor nutrition: Believe it or not your diet can play a big part in hair loss. Sugar intake can decrease your blood circulation making it harder for blood to circulate to your hair follicles.
Your journey to thicker hair starts here:
- Lavender oil: Yes, lavender oil has long been shown to increase the amount of hair follicles on your head. A little oil can go a long way, just a few drops at night to start regrowing thick healthy hair.
- Doctor prescribed medicine: Finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) , the compound that causes male pattern baldness.
- Hair fibers: Temporary keratin hair fibers are a great instant way to give yourself that fuller head of hair. They can be sprinkled on your thin spots and washed out in the shower.
Just remember, you’re not alone if your hair starts to thin, the good news is there’s plenty of solutions to get your hair back to that thick full look you want.
