Can you believe that it’s already March?? That means we may only have a few weeks before summer weather arrives. Warmer weather means more outings. We won’t be able to rely on our beanies and bulky hats to hide our hair. This can be concerning if you are experiencing hair thinning or loss. So, what can you do to make sure your hair is looking its best by the time summer comes around?
Well, you’re in luck! Here are some things you can do in the next couple of months to help your hair look better than ever.
First, you should determine what is causing your hair thinning and loss if you haven’t already. It could be caused by aging, genetics, hormonal problems, harsh chemicals in hair products, too much heat on your hair, vitamin deficiencies, or a plethora of other circumstances. If you believe it could be a medical issue, be sure to talk to your doctor.
But it’s also worth mentioning that there are some lifestyle changes you can make that can possibly help heal your hair. One of the “easier” changes you can make is to stop using hot styling tools for a while and switch to gentler products. Excess heat can be detrimental to your hair’s health. Because we’re in search for certain looks or lack patience, we sometimes overwhelm our hair with heat. While the look may give us a temporary moment of satisfaction, the long-term effects catch up to us.
Another simple change is changing your shampoo and conditioner. Look for a shampoo and conditioner that is made specifically for thinning hair. Nowadays, there are treatments made to target specific hair types and address specific hair issues. If you’re interested in changing your shampoo and conditioner, start your search here. Keranique has a wide variety that have proven results.
Keep in mind you should also be very gentle with your hair right now! Don’t put it into tight ponytails or other styles that pull on your hair. When styling your hair, you can opt for products that will give you some much-needed volume and lift. This can hide the fact that your hair is thinning and no one will even know!
The best treatment is the use of a medicated treatment if you are experiencing hair thinning and loss that is hereditary or due to age. Our Hair Regrowth Treatment contains the active ingredient minoxidil which helps the hair regrow naturally. All you have to do is apply to your problem areas two times per day.
Fun Fact: Minoxidil is the only approved women’s hair regrowth treatment that is FDA approved
As you use this treatment, there are other things you can do to support the regrowth. When you are in the shower, don’t forget to give yourself a nice scalp massage. You could also ask someone else to massage your scalp for you. A scalp massage can help increase blood flow which can help stimulate your hair follicles. Plus, it feels so good!
Another thing you can do to help with thinning hair is to get in the habit of making sure you have enough nutrients in your daily diet. Start taking a multivitamin, eating healthier, and drinking more water. Hair supplements can also help because they contain vitamins and minerals that your hair and body really need. Supplements like KeraViatin contain curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric. It has been known to reduce hair thinning and loss.
These days there are even laser therapy treatments that have been shown to reduce hair loss. While these treatments can be expensive, they can help regrow your hair in several months.
Lastly, you should always aim to reduce your stress levels. We live in stressful times and it could be contributing to your hair thinning. Do what you can to reduce your stress by saying no to certain obligations, adding more “me time” into your routine, and taking supplements that help you relax. If stress or a hormonal issue is the cause of your hair loss, hopefully it is only temporary so that your hair will regrow within time.
