Effective strategies to avoid hair loss and show off a star-like hair

In autumn we have two absolute certainties: just like the leaves hair falls out. If we can easily spot the romantic side in the carpet foliage that fills sidewalks and parks with warm colors in the passage towards winter, due to the free fall of the locks from our hair we only see things as they are: a real tragedy. The sudden change in temperature brings, in fact, every year to a weakening of the capillary fibers resulting in substantial hair loss. We therefore need one targeted strategy to stem the problem also because thinning, fragility and fall affect the well-being of thousands of people every day (we know how much hair is related to well-being). Here’s what to do.

Hair health goes to the table

Hair is not just an appendage of our body, but it is alive, it breathes, it grows, dies and is reborn. Therefore, they need daily nourishment. They “eat” our own food. Indeed, the head is the part of the body where less blood arrives, so it needs to have high quality nourishment. An inadequate diet, unbalanced or devoid of essential nutrients affects our hair and on their well-being, making them visibly dull, dull and fragile. In some cases, malnutrition, or an abuse of so-called junk food, can contribute to their weakening and consequent fall. «For both skin and hair, health comes through the foods we put on the plate. Exist three foods that keep our hair healthy: salmon, an important source of Omega 3, promotes the well-being of the hair and skin, preventing it from dehydrating, rich in B vitamins, in particular the biotin, which helps hair regrowth, and contains a good dose of iron, an ingredient that contributes to the mechanism that brings oxygen to our hair and tissues; another food to be favored are the eggs, consuming them once or twice a week they can nourish hair and skin, as they contain iron and many B vitamins; the third food is fruit, both dried and fresh, in this case better if in season, like oranges and kiwis, rich in C vitamin which slows down the aging of the bulb and hair loss ”, explains Dr. Angelo Labrozzi, pharmacist, collaborator with the University of Chieti and expert in the study of hair loss.

In any case, although proper nutrition and a healthy life are two essential requirements for hair health, in the presence of certain pathologies, nutritional deficiencies, periods of high stress or simply in the face of the normal aging process, diet alone can not enough. In these cases It is important to seek help from within with supplements, which guarantee the body a correct and constant supply of active ingredients and vitamins useful for strengthening and protecting the hair, essential for obtaining lasting results. It is very important that these supplements are as natural as possible.

Ampoules, shampoos and targeted products

While washing your hair frequently with shampoo, conditioner and mask exposes it to potentially harmful treating / detergent agents, it is good to remember that impurities and dirt also weigh down the capillary roots causing hair loss. So it is advisable to avoid too frequent treatments and washing, but at the same time always keep the scalp clean. The key is to find a balance.

Regarding the type of products to be used, identify haircare products that are suitable for your hair type avoids frequent washing and reduces the negative effect on the hair fiber and scalp. Furthermore, opting for low-aggressive products allows you to restore the natural chemical balance of the fibers in a non-invasive way.

Less straightener, more brush and massage

It is no secret that hairdryers, straighteners and other tools for hot styling damage the hair fibers even if used with adequate protective products. The problem, in fact, is not only the heat and the consequent thermal shock that these instruments generate, but also the traction they exert on the hair. The pressure applied on the fibers causes the early detachment of the hair from their location, so avoiding it would be recommended. Impossible feat? Let us at least try not to make reckless use of tools.

Finally, to stimulate circulation in the scalp, and therefore hair growth, brush and massage are really useful. Gently brushing the hair starting from the roots frequently, without pulling them and massaging the scalp for a few minutes as hairdressers do when they wash the hair, are useful actions to maintain healthy blood circulation to the hair follicles and therefore to prevent the loss of hair. hair.

We always remember that, if the simplest cases of fall can be treated independently, for the most severe ones it is good to consult a dermatologist, preferably an expert in trichology.
