Here are some tips to ease (and maybe even stop) the loss. First, it’s imperative to identify why you may be losing your hair. The more we know about the causes, the more we can do to remedy the situation.

If you have a good stylist, and you are a regular client, you will often notice thinning before you do. One thing you’ll want to address right away is whether or not your hair is breaking. For example, did you receive a chemical treatment recently? Relaxers, bleach, and perms can cause a lot of damage and add stress to your strands.

If chemical treatments are part of your routine, you should start using a moisturizing conditioner with a good balance of oils and lipids—these will help keep what hair you have strong. They assist in the hair growth process, as well.

Vigorous head massages are something you can do at home to help increase blood supply to your scalp. If the thinning and loss has nothing to do with chemical damage from beauty services or your regular style routine, you need to take a deeper look. I insist on consuming certain oils for hair health. Lean meats, olive oil, and avocado oil from fresh avocados all make hair better. And guess what? If you talk to any colonic therapist, they will tell you that they leave the body as easily as they enter. When they’re digested with a balanced diet, they work wonders on your skin and hair health
