Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy, happy Saturday to you. It's still monsoon'ing here in Arizona. Which means delicious cool weather and wonderful, but destructive rain storms.
Below I have some amazing tips on how to fight hair loss in men and women from Dr. Nussbaum.
###
Hair loss among men
and women has become an epidemic. In fact, 80% of Americans will face
hair loss at some point in their lives.
In support of August
being National Hair Loss Awareness Month, board
certified dermatologist, Dr. Marnie Nussbaum sheds light on what we
can do to combat hair loss, promote hair growth and other hair
revitalizing tips.
Dr. Nussbaum has
offered the below tips to help fight hair loss, but would be more than
happy to share more with your readers:
- Revitalize
from the inside out. Eating foods like kale, walnuts,
almonds, tuna and salmon that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, iron
and protein can lead to a healthier, happier scalp. Since about 3% of
your hair shaft is made up of omega-3 fatty acids, they're vital to
keeping you scalp nourished.
- Maintain
proper scalp care. Incorporating a pH balanced wash into your
daily regimen like Sebamed
Scalp Activating Shampoo will naturally support
scalp circulation - which is essential for hair growth and
thicker-looking hair. ($14.99, SebamedUSA.com) Also,
massaging your scalp for 10 minutes 2-3 times a week in the shower can
loosen skin flakes, product residue and natural oils, as well as
increase blood flow to the scalp to help promote new hair
growth.
- Promote
healthy hair growth. Try trimming your hair every 6 weeks and
incorporating an all-natural supplement into your routine to stimulate
new growth. The new Aviva
Advanced Hair Nutrition is a blend of handpicked 18
botanical and nutraceutical ingredients (including Biotin, Vitamin B5,
Folic Acid, Iron, Zinc, and Selenium, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Ashwagandha
and Silica) that provide the nutrients your hair needs to boost
strength, build length, and restore balance. ($59.99 for a 30 day
supply, AvivaHair.com)
- Additional
tips: Avoid harsh hair dyes, switch up your natural part and
air-dry hair whenever possible. Dramatic changes in hair color and
heat damage can further dry out hair follicles, causing breakage and
hair thinning. Hair also tends to lie flatter when brushed repeatedly
in the same direction - For a more voluminous look, try changing the
direction of your part.
