A fundamental principal in natural hair loss treatment is that the same foods that are good for your health are good for your hair. Hair loss can be caused by several factors, but lack of proper nutrition plays a vital role for most people. Foods that are high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and have reduced fat content can help in maintaining healthier hair and preventing hair loss. For example, essential fatty acids, found in spinach, walnuts, soy, tuna, sardines, sunflower seeds and canola oil, are important dietary essentials useful in keeping hair healthy. The omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids contain anti-inflammatory properties that are useful in maintaining healthy hair. Insufficient levels of these essential fatty acids could lead to quicker hair loss.
To avoid hair loss and have good healthy hair, a good nutritional diet is needed. This diet needs to be rich in organic whole foods such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds which are a rich source of vital nutrients needed for healthy hair roots and the protein keratin. Try not to skip meals, reduce salt, sugar, tea, coffee and chocolate intake, avoid stress, comb your hair gently and avoid using strong chemicals on your hair such as perms and color treatments. Vegetarians are prone to hair loss because their diet generally lacks the important nutrients, vitamin B12, iron and lysine. Vegetarians need to be aware of this and supplement their diet.
Laser treatment for hair loss aka Low Level laser Therapy (LLLT) is a method used in addition to other treatments. It has existed for more than 30 years, mainly in European countries, but nowadays it is gaining popularity in the US as well. This type of treatment is completely pain-free and has no major side effects. It has been proven to work in many scientific studies.
LLLT is applied using a special comb. This comb will use laser technology to heat the scalp and massage it gently. It uses soft low-light lasers that are emitted by special rotating laser positions. Doing this will expand the pores. LLLT combs also emit infrared energy which increases the metabolism of the scalp and improves blood circulation. The laser treatment will make the scalp healthier and has been said to even reverse hair loss.
In order to be effective the laser comb has to be distributed at the right wavelength. If it is not the treatment will be useless. This is why many of the cheap laser combs being sold on the market are a waste of money.
People who use the laser comb can expect to see slight improvements at first. They may notice that their hair is slightly thicker and stronger. After several months results should get more noticeable.
Laser treatments for hair loss may be an effective method and a good alternative to hair replacement surgery. Still, you should do your homework before buying a laser comb, as many do not work at all.
