Hair Loss Prevention Tip #1: Avoid Stress
People suffering from extreme stress will usually experience hair loss, albeit a temporary one. Still, it would be better if you try to de-stress your life in order to prevent hair loss. You can start by making sure that you get enough sleep or eating the right diet. Exercise will also help you get rid of work-related stress.

Hair Loss Prevention Tip #2: Stop Using Chemical-rich Hair Products
If you must know, your hair can be damaged by hair products that contain harmful ingredients. Getting your hair dyed frequently or having it permed can also result to hair loss. Even the use of shampoos and other styling products such as hair spray, gel or mousse can damage your hair, leading to hair loss. If possible, choose hair products that are made from natural ingredients such as aloe vera, rosemary and sage.

Hair Loss Prevention Tip #3: Be Kind to Your Hair
Subjecting your hair to frequent dye jobs as well as complicated hairstyles might do your hair follicles harm. If you are serious about hair loss prevention, you should make sure that you are not cruel to your hair.

Hair Loss Prevention Tip #4: Know Your Family History
Losing your hair is inevitable if it runs in your family. Men, in particular, are known to suffer from male pattern baldness, which has been established to be a hereditary condition. If you have a family history of hair loss, it would be wise that you start taking care of your hair as early as possible and not waiting for the hair loss to become really bad.

Hair Loss Prevention Tip #5: Consult Hair Loss Experts
Of course, all these tips will be useless if you will not ask the professional opinion of hair loss experts. These professionals can certainly help you with your hair loss prevention plans.

1. Avoid over consumption of salt (most vegetables have their own natural sodium) and sugar; skip them entirely, if possible.

2. Same with alcohol and tobacco, also contributing causes of hair loss and dandruff.

3. Try headstands–or any position lowering your head below your body–several times daily (15 minutes each time).

4. Massage your scalp by hand, or with an electric vibrator.

5. Make a drink by blending bananas, honey, yogurt and low fat milk. This drink is rich    in biotin and will help your hair to have strong roots.

6. Get sufficient sleep. Like a healthy body, healthy hair too needs a good night’s sleep.

7. if you are dieting, you should be taking a multivitamin supplement. There are even supplements specifically designed for healthy hair (such as Nature’s Bounty Vitamins for Hair).

8.  Medications that can cause hair loss include Vitamin A, certain antidepressants, testosterone products, beta blockers, certain cholesterol-lowering agents, and chemotherapy.

9. The scalp must be kept cool, so protection from sun and washing in cold or lukewarm water are paramount.

10. Sound nutrition is key, so a hair-friendly diet should emphasize proteins, iron, zinc, sulfur, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex and essential fatty acids.

11. Wearing you hair up or pulling up your hair in to tight pony tails is bad. Even barrettes can have an effect on your hair health and growth. Avoid using any restrictions on your scalp. Try to keep you hair as free as possible. The mechanical action can result in hair loss, hair is plucked out the skin leaving the bald patches. The condition is known as traction alopecia and trichotillomania.

12. Natural shampoos normally found in health food stores are a much better choice. Even with natural shampoos, be careful of the ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate can strip away too much oil from the hair, causing shampoo residue to be left behind. Ingredients that have proven useful in shampoos are cocamides, Panthenol Pro-B, of course the previously discussed vitamins, aloe vera, sage, nettle, burdock, chamomile, chaparral, horsetail and rosemary. Also look for shampoos that contain keratin, the protein substance that hair is made of, or amino acids. This will help seal breakages in the cuticle.

13. Pollution of environment, chemical effects of inorganic fertilizers and insecticides in the food and consumption of contaminated drinking water is indirectly responsible for the problem.

14. Because of too much awareness with regard to beauty, hair and fashion sometimes people treat the hair in an unwanted and unhealthy manner which may also be blamed for hair loss.

15. Anti oxidants which may be obtained from fresh vegetables or fruits or from medicines may be taken, of course, after consultation and under supervision of a medical professional.

1. Wearing hats most of the time: It is very fashionable these days to sport head coverings and tight caps. However, because hats can affect the blood flow to the scalp, this may cause hair loss. This is especially true if you wear tight hats. The result of hair loss due to covering your scalp with a hat does take time to make it’s effects known, but once it starts, the pattern of loosing your hair speeds up faster than if you had never started the hat-wearing habit.

2. Oily scalp: Here is another example of a condition that can be directly related to the decrease amount of blood flow that is available to your hair follicles. By not washing your scalp enough a build up of natural skin oils can affect your hair. Regular washing can help reduce this problem.

3. Brushing your hair too much: This is one issue that I have personally experienced myself. I was once told by a hairstylist that if I want to grow my hair long then I should brush it with 50 strokes every time I went into the bathroom. Needless to say, after about six months, I noticed severe thinning in the areas that I was brushing. Once I stopped, the hair eventually started to come back like normal. Unfortunately, I set forth in motion a pattern that caused my hair to grow back thinner in that area for the rest of my life.

4. Brushing your hair too little: Opposite of brushing your hair too much, by not brushing your hair enough, you may not be stimulating the right amount of blood flow needed to retain growth in hair follicles. It doesn’t take much, but just brushing your hair with a few strokes that hit the scalp will be enough stimulation.
