3 causes of hair loss you need to know before you seek for Oregon Hair Restoration

Hair loss can be a serious concern for some men and women during adulthood. It is detrimental to self-confidence. It poses concerns for grooming. Why not? Isn’t hair one’s crowning glory? Isn’t hair the first thing you’d notice in a person whether he/she is fully groomed or not? Hair is too important that those who are stricken by this plight even turn to surgeries for hair restoration as their last resort.

A thin volume of hair was never my problem. I always had more than enough hair to fix. I remembered a gay hair dresser commented about my hair before saying that my hair has good volume, perfect for rebonding. But when I landed a very tedious job, stopped doing regular exercise and started relying on hair rebonding for a long shiny hair, things changed dramatically.

To restore the thickness of my hair is my number one goal right now. It urged me to observe the behavior of my hair and what causes rapid hair loss.

Here are the top 3 reasons of my hair loss:

1. Genes – the thinness of hair can be genetics. If you are having problem with baldness, see if your maternal ancestors are bald, if they are, then you are very likely to lose your hair. However, in some instances, you can also directly inherit the baldness of your dad. In my case, my dad is bald and my mom is getting thin hair while growing old. I’m afraid it’s very unlikely for me to escape.

2. Medical and/or Beauty Treatment- certain medications such as drugs used for depression, arthritis and heart problems, or treatments like chemotherapy, may cause hair loss. However, successive beauty treatment for hair such as rebonding and straightening can also damage your hair.

3. Damaged hair follicle – inflaming and scarring of hair follicle cause by Lupus erythematosus or lichen planus, both skin conditions, can cause permanent hair loss.

If any of these causes your hair loss, you can seek for natural remedy to avoid further hair loss. Medical or Beauty Treatment or Damaged hair follicle can be avoided and fixed easily. There are plenty of suggested ways to help you regain good volume that are available online. However, if the reason is genetics, there is little you can do to prevent it. If none of the recommended preventions saves you from losing hair, then you might want to consider hair restoration through surgery. Oregon Hair Restoration performs effectively in restoring your hair with the highest level of personalized service and care.

Remember, a healthy and sufficient volume of hair is a factor for a more confident individual.

Live a healthy lifestyle

Your lifestyle has a profound effect on all the different aspects of your life, even your hair. You can live healthily by eating nutritious food, exercising regularly, hydrating yourself, and getting enough rest. By following a healthy lifestyle your hair will get the nourishment that it needs, allowing it to remain healthy as it grows longer.

Trim your hair regularly

A trim means cutting about ½ to ¼ of an inch from your hair. Trimming your hair will remove dry and damaged hair and prevent split ends. Inform your stylist that you are planning to grow your hair longer and instruct him or her only to trim your hair. The frequency of trims will depend on how you care for your hair, what routines you follow, and the products you use on it. The better your hair care routine is, the healthier your hair will be and the fewer trims you will need.

Protect your hair

You might want to wear your hair loose at times, but make sure that you protect it from harsh elements in the environment. Don’t expose your hair to too much sun as it can become dry and damaged. Protecting your hair also applies to when you sleep at night because your hair can rub against the pillowcase and bed sheets, therby becoming drier and tangled. Wear a silk night cap when you sleep or switch to soft fabrics for your beddings like silk or satin.

Avoid too much heat styling

Flat irons and curling irons are some of the most commonly used hair styling devices. Unfortunately, using these items regularly can damage your hair. As much as possible, avoid styling devices that rely on heat and choose a hairstyle that will not make use of heat styling.

Choose the right hair accessories

Even the accessories you wear in your hair can affect its health and condition. Be sure to choose hair accessories that are not rough and will complement the texture of your hair. The wrong accessories can cause hair to fall out and can damage your hair.

Condition regularly

Hair has natural moisture and oils that can be stripped off by shampoos, chemical treatments, and other elements in the environment. Conditioning helps moisturize and nourish hair, thus making it healthier and preventing hair breakage. Be sure to apply conditioner right after you shampoo your hair. Deep conditioning is also advisable at least once every month.

Use natural hair products

Chemical treatments can cause hair to fall out and other significant damage to occur to your hair, so as much as possible use natural products such as Argan moroccan oil and other natural oils and organic shampoos.

The secret to growing your hair longer and healthier is to take care of it, so you will have less hair loss and breakage.

4 Signs that You Need to Trim Your Hair

You might need to trim your hair if you notice that you have split ends, your hair is damaged, your hair is out of shape, and you have not changed your hairstyle in a while.

Your hair is one of your most noticeable assets and taking care of it properly is very important. There are many products to use and ways that you can take care of your hair. Natural oils like pure Moroccan Argan oil can help nourish your hair and make it softer. Trimming your hair is also one way of taking care of your hair and can help make it become healthier. Even if you are purposely trying to make your hair grow longer, it is advisable to trim your hair regularly. But how can you tell if you need to trim your hair? Here are some signs:

You have split ends

There is no effective solution to split ends, but there are ways to prevent split ends such as using conditioner regularly. If you already have split ends, then trimming your hair is a good idea. You should have your hair trimmed when you first notice the split ends because if you put off trimming your hair, the split ends will keep splitting and can turn into severely damaged split hair strands. Split ends can be spotted by looking closely at the tips of your hair. Unlike a normal hair strand which is intact from the root to the tip, split ends look like two separate strands at the tip. You can trim your hair at least an inch and half when you first see signs of split ends.

Your hair is damaged

If you regularly style your hair with heat-styling devices like flat irons and blow dryers or apply chemical products and coloring treatments often, you might notice your hair becoming dry and unmanageable. Your hair could also break off easily making the texture rough and stiff, two symptoms of damaged hair. You can deep condition your hair regularly to avoid hair damage, but if it’s already too late to undo the damage caused by unhealthy hair practices, get a trim.

Your hair is out of shape

Trim your hair when it becomes slightly unmanageable and no longer looks like the original hairstyle you want. Even if your hair is healthy, you can experience flyway strands or lack of volume. Remember that the longer your hair becomes, the more gravity tends to act on it to pull your hair down and out of shape. If your original hairstyle included choppy layers, side swept bangs and other significant details, this could be quite inconvenient. Regularly trimming your hair can help maintain its shape and style.

You have not changed your hairstyle in a while

Your hair can be your perfect accessory, and the right hairstyle can help bring out the best of your features. But, like fashion, hairstyle trends change regularly. If you have not changed your hairstyle in a long time, it might be a good idea to get a trim. You might actually like the change.

Hair care doesn’t really have to involve a lot of money and artificial products. A simple trim or the right natural products can make a lot of difference to your hair.

1. Start by using the Pantene Pro-V Texture Shampoo and Conditioner to prepare hair for a healthy, textured look
2. Apply Pantene Pro-V Volume Root Lifter Gel to damp hair from root to tip
3. Blow-dry hair periodically flipping hair upside down to create maximum fullness at the crown
4. Wrap large sections of hair around a 1-inch barrel curling iron starting at least 4” from scalp
5. Remove iron and quickly twist hot section pulling it into a rope-like shape until it cools – this will transform curls into waves
6. Brush hair out and run fingers through hair to break up the curls for a tousled look
