Can Appropriate Hair Care Decrease Men’s Hair Loss?

For the most part, men need more than just a specific shampoo to ward off impending hair loss. Most of the time hair loss happens because of genetics or hormone issues. Of course, there are times that loss of hair can be caused by improper care to your hair and scalp. The simple truth is that, even if you are genetically prone to hair loss, you can minimalize the effects of that loss with good care for the hair that you have left and for your scalp. This article will talk about some tips that everyone can use, no matter what kind of hair he has.

Go see a professional cosmetologist for an assessment. Your local mall has many stylists available for a quick haircut but avoid these places for true hair and scalp advice. A professional salon, on the other hand, will have highly trained stylists who will help you figure out the best hair care routine for the type of hair you have and the type of scalp you have. The fact is your hair is more than just deceased skin cells. Seek the help of a professional before beginning any new regimen because all scalps are unique. It will save you lots of time and headaches! Never rub your hair dry. The excess water can be removed with a simple shaking motion after showering. You need only pat or squeeze the remaining excess water out. It may take longer to dry this way but it will aide your hair in it’s pursuit of health. You can cause immense damage to your hair by rubbing it into tanlges when trying to dry. Simply absorbing the “big” moisture and then letting the air do the rest is the best way to (healthfully) dry your hair. After a week or so you will see the benefits.

Your massage therapist is a great asset for scalp care as well. Getting a scalp massage feels great and aides your scalp in increased blood flow. This increase in blood flow will help increase the production of new hair even in follicles that may not have been great producers for a while. Scalp massages can be done by anyone. You can even do them for yourself if you have a few minutes of time. Just don’t put yourself to sleep while you are at work!

Men’s hair loss cannot be prevented with proper hair care alone. Of course, practicing proper hair care does not hurt your chances for slowing down your hair loss. The simple truth is you periodically have a fighting chance at regrowing your hair. At the same time, being sure to take care of your scalp and your hair in an appropriate manner can do a lot for helping you to make sure that the hair you do have left looks the best that it can!
