Causes of hair loss

To treat or promote hair growth, what needs to be taken into account is the cause of the hair problem itself. Among the causes of hair problems are:-

• Depressed or stressed. This may be due to being in serious pain and having just undergone a major surgery or a mother who has just given birth. Usually this cause is only temporary which may only take 3-4 months.
• Hormonal problems such as thyroid gland problems.
• Side effects of taking certain medications such as birth control pills, anti-depressants or after undergoing chemotherapy.
• Ancestry. This can also contribute to severe hair loss if there are family members who have baldness due to hair loss.
• Fungal infection of the scalp. This is common in children, if scalp care is careless.
• Excessive hair styling such as frequent hair coloring, frequent use of a hair dryer or tying the hair too tightly.

Tips for thicker hair

Once we know the cause of the hair loss problem, we can try some tips to thicken the hair, but if the situation is severe and the scalp has started to be more prominent, further treatment may be needed. Among the tips to get thicker hair that can be tried or practiced are:

• Take a look at our diet. The food we take every day should be healthy food, rich in protein and vitamins such as vitamins A, B, C, E, iron, magnesium and selenium. You can also take supplements such as B complex and zinc. This will encourage new hair growth.
• Manage stress well. Good stress management can prevent serious hair loss. Go for activities that can release stress such as meditation, exercise, yoga, learn good breathing techniques.
• Apply warm green tea to the scalp for an hour and rinse. Green tea, which is very rich in antioxidants, can help hair growth and reduce hair loss.
• Avoid using hot water when washing your hair. Use cold water and wash your hair at least 2-3 times a week. This helps prevent microbial infection of the scalp.
• After washing your hair, do not immediately comb it. When the hair is wet, it is easy to make the hair break and pulled out. Wrap wet hair in a towel and rub gently, apply serum and let hair dry completely before combing.
