At some point, we all struggled with hair loss, due to stress, vitamin D deficiency, iron deficiency, post-birth hair loss you name it.

Hair loss is one of the most common issues youth suffer from. It is devastating, and no one wants to get bald.

So how should we treat it or prevent it?

The right way to treat hair loss

As shiny and promising as it is on social media, Before starting any medication or supplements destined for hair loss, It would be best if you eliminated all potential causes.

A general health check-up is necessary to uncover if any of these factors are present:

  • Iron deficiency
  • Vitamin D deficiency
  • Androgenetic Alopecia
  • Seborrhiac Dermatitis

These are the most common factors for hair loss. Anemic patients should correct their iron levels, for vitamin D deficiency as well.

Minoxidil is the number one medication for Alopecia. It is applied to damp hair. To use the solution, fill the applicator with 1 milliliter of medication (to the 1 milliliter line) or 20 drops.

Part your hair in the area of thinning and apply the solution evenly to the affected area of the scalp. Gently rub in.

Seborrheic Dermatitis is combatted with antifungal shampoo such as ketoconazole, at least twice a week.

Successful tips for quick hair growth

If your health checkup results are normal then these tips will give you successful and guaranteed hair growth

Rosemary or pumpkin seed oil are the only oils supported by research to promote hair growth. It has been shown that it has the same results as minoxidil 2% for treating alopecia.

Don’t be afraid rosemary oil isn’t responsible for white hair as many believe. High level of stress is.

Massage your scalp with rosemary or pumpkinseed oil and leave it for a minimum of 30 minutes before washing it.

You can combine rosemary oil with castor oil or argan oil, and with hand massage, you will notice healthier and more dense hair.

Your diet is more important if you want guaranteed results, eating high-protein food and getting more omega-3 fatty acids works wonders when it comes to hair growth

Conclusion

Many supplements advertised across social media claim that they will guarantee you hair growth, when in fact they won’t work as you want them to.

Hair growth is a long journey, you need to be patient and look for the main reason why your hair started falling.
