Hair loss cannot be completely prevented or stopped, but with various lifestyle changes, you can certainly improve the health and quality of your hair to increase your chances of stopping hair loss and thinning. Some of our top healthy hair tips include:
Eat a healthy, nutrient-dense diet that boosts healthy hair.
Be gentle with the hair you have — avoid excessive heat, tight hairstyles, vigorous brushing, and harsh chemical treatments (like perms).
Protect your skin and hair from UV damage; wear a hat when outdoors in strong sunlight.
Include supplements like biotin, collagen, zinc, and iron into your daily diet. Make sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist before implementing a supplement regimen for hair loss.
If you feel stress may be playing a role, look at healthy ways to reduce or manage daily stress levels or stressful situations.
Use quality hair care products, avoid those with harsh chemicals that dry out hair, cause breakage, and prevent the follicle from growing new strands.
