Let us get to the root of all hair problems… and yes we are talking about hair roots.
Hair roots in this case mean hair follicles and they are the ‘seeds’ from which hair are grown. The number of hair follicles are predetermined at birth and once the hair follicles die, the hair from which the follicle grows will never grow again, leaving a bald patch behind. Balding occurs when a large number of hair follicles on a person’s scalp die off.
The only way to prevent balding and combat hair loss is to save and sustain our remaining hair follicles. Hair loss occurs when the rate at which hair drops off exceeds that of those growing. Baldness occurs when the hair follicles die, gradually and over a large extent of the scalp.
My researches carried out over these two years all point to one fact: saving the hair follicles is the only way to prevent baldness. I will list down all the methods that are available on earth to combat hair loss and how all of them are related to revitalizing the hair follicles.
1) Shampooing
A myriad of shampoos purported to contain specialized proteins and ingredients, which will revitalize the follicles in the scalp. Washing hair also helps to clear up the grease and dirt, which may impede the normal growth and functioning of the follicle.
2) Scalp massage
Scalp massage is to increase the flow of blood to your scalp, nourishing the follicles.
3) Inversion
Inverting the body is to direct more blood to nourish the hair follicles.
4) Hair treatment centres
Such centres employ steaming process to open up the follicles after which they apply herbal lotions that are supposed to be able to revitalize the follicles into the follicles.
5) Hair tonics
Touted as lotions that contain ingredients to revitalize the follicles.
6) Scientific medication
Propecia and mindoxil helps the blood vessels to the head dilate, hence carrying more blood to the head. These two medications/lotions are the only scientific methods to combat hair loss till far. But they are very expensive and once one stops treatment, hair loss would return!
7) MLM thingy
Recently, I chanced upon a product from Nuskin called Galvanic Spa. Galvanic Spa works hand in hand with the hair lotions that come together with Galvanic Spa. Galvanic Spa works by the principle of repulsion between two groups of negatively ions. Users first apply the negatively charged lotion on their head and then comb their hair with Galvanic Spa which is shaped like a comb. The Galvanic Spa consists of like negative ions which will then repel the ions of the hair lotion deep into the follicles.
8) Nutrition and Diet
Hair is made up of protein, thus one should eat more lean meat. However if one’s hair is oily, one should prevent eating too much oily and fried food. Avoid certain food too! Vitamins B and biotin are excellent for hair.
9) Exercises
Cardiovascular helps in smoother circulation around the body, spending more blood to the scalp.
10) Chinese treatments
Chinese herbs are believed to revitalize the weakening hair follicles. Acupuncture helps to increase the flow of blood to the scalp.
11) Laser treatments
Offers short burst of high-energy laser to stimulate the growth of hair follicles.
12) Hair transplants
Offers the last resort for those who are balding. Transfers the follicles at the sides of the scalp, programmed to grow for life onto the balding patches.
13) Adopt a stress-free lifestyle
A stressed lifestyle causes blood vessels to the scalp to constrict, reducing blood flow to the scalp.
The above 13 items sum up my research hitherto. For more information pertaining to each item, please trawl the internet for more.
