When it comes to hair loss, our biggest concern is usually how this will affect the way we look. It's a major concern for most women (and men too!). However, to be able to face and overcome this problem effectively we need to evaluate the health of our hair and learn about the factors affecting it. From scalp conditions to what you eat, there are several areas related to health that you should consider if you notice a change in your hair growth and texture.

According to experts hair health basically depends on blood supply, circulation and nutrition. It can also be affected by one's thyroid, liver hormones and stress levels. Whether you're suffering from hair loss or want to prevent it from happening, the following expert tips will help you keep your hair its healthiest.

Eating and Drinking for Hair

You must check the ingredients in the food you eat. Are your meals enriching? A lot of foods lack vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. For instance, eating organic can greatly improve your hair health. You mustremember the closer to nature—raw green foods—you eat, the more alkaline and healthy your skin and body will become.

Doctors also suggest eating foods rich in silica and sulphur such as onions, garlic, green leafy veggies and eggs. Sulphur, which is often dubbed as the "beauty mineral" and can be found in its greatest concentration in hair, skin and nails, promotes circulation and decreases inflammation. Adequate amounts of sulphur can help jumpstart hair growth in people with deficiencies. Iodine and potassium foods, such as sea vegetables (like seaweed), also promote growth and thickness of hair.

How much you may love stuffs like coffee, sweets, and salty snacks-- reducing your intake of salt, sugar, fats and caffeine can substantially aid in fostering your hair health. Instead of coffee or soda, drink water. Since the human body is generally composed of 60-80 percent water, when deprived of it, your cell health suffers. Dehydration directly impacts hair growth, so drinking at least six glasses of water a day is what we highly recommend.

The Dangers of Styling

From highlights to hair spray, your hair has to go through a lot. Though some of these beauty treatments may seem harmless—they’re not so, pardon me for telling the truth lol—they could lead to hair damage, which contribute to hair loss. Most of the skin, nail and hair care products have toxic ingredients and antimicrobials, which create inflammation. Some of the hair treatments can also exacerbate common skin problems like hair loss and deteriorating of skin and body health.

However it's not just you! Inflammation begins afflicting everyone of us from the time we’re born. Skin, the largest organ of the body--is used first to detoxify—by the process of becoming inflamed from what we consume, absorb, and are exposed to such as pollution and sunlight. They all add to the process of aging and hair loss.

Dermatologists suggest avoiding or decreasing the use of chemical irritants like hair dye and daily styling products. Doing so, they say, will not only strengthen your scalp's natural but weakened ability to function, it will also repair itself and help you experience hair re-growth.

Strengthen the Building Blocks

Whether you're guilty of putting your hair through a lot or just a victim of aging and natural deterioration process, you can help strengthen your follicles. Your body is a construction site so you need to provide the building blocks (quality ones, that is) to fight the causes of inflammation. It's vital for you to supplement the internal organs and skin layers with the missing tools to accomplish the job of building a firm foundation.

Besides consuming foods that are fresh and high in sulphur, and drinking water, we also suggest eating healthy. Your diet must be supported with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, nutrients and oils that continually replenish, strengthen and energize your entire body. Doing this will not only promote your physical and psychological well-being but also stop the epidemic of acne, hair loss, rosacea and skin cancers.

Other essential nutrients that aid in cell repair include glutathione (the most important antioxidant for the body's immune system preferably in lozenge form), alpha lipoic acid (an effective antioxidant that prevents the symptoms of vitamin C and E deficiencies) and multi-minerals (minerals promote proper composition of body fluids, formation of blood and bone, maintenance of healthy nerve functions). The proper dosage of these nutrients will keep your hair healthy, shining and strong.
